Just joined the AI Advantage community and excited to be here. I wanted to share a quick (and fun) example of how I’m already using ChatGPT creatively. I uploaded a single profile photo and then had ChatGPT transform it into a whole series of cinematic images — James Bond–style in a tux, outside the casino in Monte Carlo, driving an Aston Martin… and then, for a complete left turn, turned the same image into a full-on Santa Claus 🎅😂 Same face. Totally different identities, moods, and use cases. What really hit me wasn’t just the “cool factor,” but how powerful this is for: - Personal branding - Marketing visuals - Storytelling and campaigns - Creating content fast without photoshoots This stuff feels like having a creative studio on demand. Looking forward to learning how everyone else here is using AI in smart, practical ways — and contributing where I can. 🚀 Glad to be part of the community!

I just want to take a moment to say this... I’m genuinely proud of you. Not because this is easy. Not because you have it all figured out. But because you’re leaning into the work anyway. Adapting is uncomfortable. Learning new tools stretches you. Changing how you think, move, and operate takes effort. And most people avoid that. Most people wait until it feels simple. Until it feels familiar. Until someone else proves it first. You didn’t. You are committed to the tools. You are staying in the room. You choose to get better instead of staying comfortable. That tells me everything I need to know. When things change and you don’t opt out… When you feel resistance and lean in anyway… That’s what separates the few from the many. This is how real growth happens. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But consistently. Keep going. You’re exactly where you should be.

As a business owner and agency owner who educates people in my local community about AI (through the library and small businesses), I wanted to share a few ways that I have discovered that people can implement AI without feeling overwhelmed. The suggestions that I am giving below aren't to say you have to incorporate them all, but just pick one or two and as you get comfortable, incorporate a few more that make sense for your business... - You can use ChatGPT as your partner to run ideas by- analyze your strategy, challenge your approach, assist you in identifying your target audience if you are just getting started. Use the "voice" mode and ask it to ask you challenging questions to get to the core issue you are having based on the topic and it will transcribe the conversation on the back end so you will always have it. - You could create an app through vibe coding that holds your SOPs or Training information (nothing confidential or proprietary) so new people joining your team can learn from that tool vs. you or a team member having to take the time to train them (instead, you can question what they learned afterwards or have AI create a flash-card or memory based quiz, crossword, etc. to test their knowledge in fun/creative ways) - You can include a web chatbot on the home page of your website to answer questions about your business and even schedule appointments - You can reinvigorate your email list by having ChatGPT come up with creative email campaigns per quarter that are 75% educational (about your industry or business) and 25% Calls to Action for Sales so they don't feel like you are consistently selling. Ask AI what perks you can offer your customers (like birthday discounts for their birthday month or referral rewards). If you use a platform like GHL, you can set everything up with automations on a quarterly basis as well. - You could get a voice concierge agent that works 24/7 and never misses a call if you are a business that could benefit from that. They sound human, and their knowledge-base knows everything about your company and website and it can answer most questions and book appointments if connected correctly to your calendar. - You could use AI to create presentations for you. I am speaking at an AI Summit next year, and I put the information I wanted to talk about in Claude, then asked it to fill in any gaps about AI I might have overlooked or missed that would be important to cover for that audience and asked it to put it into more of a "TedTalk" type format...then once I liked the result, I took it to the presentation creation app (Gamma) and in about 50 seconds, I had the full presentation with images and graphs completed. Game Changer!
