[Rated R] I Tricked Jordan Shaw Into Lifting Up His Skirt
And I recorded it all. These are the daily conversations that happen in the VIP's private discord. This video was from just earlier today but...last night we jammed out for 7 hours. @Andrew Naegele brought some SMOKE. Dude's a weapon, get to know him. Earlier, I was helping @Jason Reedy with his ICM Tree and getting his projects in order and then @Jordan Shaw jumped in... So I tricked him. Jason got to be a fly on the wall. And don't worry... *THE PORN AT 7 MINUTES IN IS BLURRED* ๐Ÿ‘€ โฑ๏ธ ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—–๐—›๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฆ 0:00 Behind the scenes, Jordan Shaw and RyMac 0:05 His Hermes agent pulls up my sales ladder 0:54 The resources folder 1:28 1 agent for each job 2:16 Profiles. Is a SOUL.md kinda like a CLAUDE.md? 4:09 Governance first 5:31 The rest of his agents 6:51 What his research pulls back 7:43 His Build Market Close folder system 8:32 Folders or 5 different tools 10:54 "I told it to build it" 11:50 My skills running inside his Hermes 17:23 How fast he can build a new agent now I messed up though, I freakin' didn't have my mic recording ๐Ÿฅน So I had Fred guess context on what I was saying and we tried to fill in the few moments I kept leading him on with questions with GUESSES at what I said. You'll see those guesses pop up for some of the questions I asked... Honestly, that doesn't matter. What matters is this sneak peek I tricked Jordan into...for you. ๐Ÿ™ƒ You can only find this leaked video here. These are the kinds of things we talk about back there in the VIP's Private Discord ...as well as me just helping my VIPs through stuff. This is what a well structured ICM'ed Hermes looks like & some of the ninja stuff he's up too. ๐Ÿ“‚ After you take a look up there, you can ask him ALLL about it. โ“ I got nothing (He built my Hermes morning approval thingy, all I can answer) ๐Ÿ‘‡

What do you think about thoughts?
I try to hard recognize my "thoughts'. I try to be present with them in that, if a bad one comes in my head, I recognize it, remind my self it's a thought and if I let it go any further my reality is going to suck. I'd consider myself a "glass half full" kinda' guy. For instance, when someone flies by me speeding like a maniac, I usually just think: "Eh, maybe he's prairie doggin' and he's gotta' poop really bad" When it comes to business building, creating content, putting your "thoughts" in front of people it takes a certain level of "mental fortitude" I never think: "I hope people think this is good" I always think: "I hope this finds and helps the right person" If there's 1 thing I've learned about thoughts: A Thought creates an action, an action creates a result, and that result is your reality. EX: Thought "Daaaammmn, that girl is beautiful maybe I should talk to her" So you walk over and talk to her, you hit it off, you get her number. Now you're married with 2 kids. That thought created an action, which created a result, and now that's your reality. What do you think about thoughts?

@Terra Wakazuri capture devices like Fieldy or Plaud, or others, or even just voice notes on your phone with a hot button right on your home screen, allow you to at least get it out of your head into a tool that allows you to prioritize how much you want to think about it any further. My hot button to notes uses WisprFlow. This one tool overnight changed my life. The other day Andrew introduced me to "Aqua" , which I'm still checking out. Very similar tool.

Got inspired by Ry's post
After I read @Ry Mac post about the advice he gave his dad โ€” record him talking about his life, let Claude turn it into chapters. I recognized every step of it. I had been running that exact loop for months; it just wasn't the whole story yet. For most people, a "team of AI workers" sounds like an org chart somebody whiteboarded before touching a keyboard โ€” one for content, one for design, one for ops, planned end to end, then built to spec. Mine didn't happen that way. Every worker in it got built only after the work already in front of me hit a wall without one. Here's the actual order, because it's more useful than the summary version: โ€ข A transcriber, first. Spoken audio to clean text, nothing else. โ€ข A content editor, right after. Takes that text and shapes it into something a chapter can be built from. โ€ข A designer, once the finished book needed a cover. โ€ข A builder, once it needed somewhere to live. โ€ข Someone for marketing, once it needed people to actually find it. Five workers. None of them existed until the step before them stalled. What started all of it wasn't a strategy. It was a stuck book โ€” one of several, half-written, going nowhere on their own. The method behind the first two came from Jake Van Clief ICM method: one worker, one job, never one assistant doing everything passably. The loop those first two ran was simple โ€” a writing-workshop technique for answering a book's questions out loud instead of staring at a blank page, dictate the answer, let the transcriber convert it, let the editor refine it. Five books came out of the actual sequence above, in forty-five days. The org chart, if you want to call it that, got drawn after the fact, never before it โ€” the same order everyone assumes runs backward. I also got inspired by the idea of building skills, so I had my team get to work, since that was what we did and I set out to make this so others could have a start: a Book-Ghostwriting Consultant, built the same way as everything above it.

@Gabriel Azoulay the first link still provides a 404 error. The second link gets into a GitHub.
ICM Rollout to Enterprise
So the ICM set up is fairly simple (in our eyes) especially once itโ€™s built. Folder with instructions for agent to get repeatable output. My question to the group is โ€ฆ does anyone know of a way to prevent copying your folder and that being shared across a bigger organization? Context: we are in talks with two orgs that want a product we put together via ICM methodology. Itโ€™s simple, but the best products are! My fear is that I give them this folder and their IT teams copy it, and kill the deal. I donโ€™t want to become a SaaS model and charge per month or per seat. With tech advancing so fast Iโ€™d like to squeeze as much juice out of the lemon and move on to the next. What are your thoughts on preventing your files and folders from getting copied and passed around without the monetary benefit?

I take the position that some take but not everyone does: in this day and age a structure, a framework, a method, and even processes can be spun up in a matter of minutes with the right expertise at the wheel. The moat for the business isn't in the tooling. It's in the experience that the business has about their expertise and about you or me or Jordan or anybody else who is the expert in helping them get to that point. The human deployment of the tools and the uniqueness of the build of the tools to that business become their own moat. It becomes their lever that sets them apart from the competition who's making AI slop without real experice guiding the ship and trying to promote their automated trash. Side note: There's going to be an entire industry spun up to fix this situation that's happening. I haven't deployed an ICM in my own space or anybody else's space that hasn't immediately become unique to the situation in which we deployed it. Even ones that I've pulled from others out here in the community, I've immediately modified for me. I think that's the moat that everybody's overlooking. It's the authentic uniqueness of doing it the way you want it to get done, even if it kind of, at the surface, looks like a lot of everybody else's....

@Andrew Kloc I'm replying to this while I'm driving through voice so hopefully that doesn't jack up my message here. It'll be interesting to see what he has as a solution. I'm sure it'll be ingenious because he sits at the level of innovative genius in my book. I think the key for people like this is to identify what makes a business want to work with us and then to stay working with us because we're bringing the right value to that business or to that solopreneur. Not only do they understand our value matrix for themselves but we understand how to deliver that value matrix as return on investment. They see that the things that we do for them are clearly bringing value to their business, even if it's just a free product or if it's an elaborate ICM structure with workflows and automation wrapped around it. That being said, that makes this feel much more like a creator venture than a business venture. I was surprised to learn that there were only less than 10 people in my lyceium on the creator track. I don't know, for a fact, but that's what I've heard. I thought all of this stuff that we're doing related to AI, with ICM or with really any of the frameworks that we apply to solving problems with this toolbelt, is a bit like creating from scratch. I think we're creators. It's just not a creator, like people classify creators in social media or creators who were artists who created pots, clay figurines, and statues. We're creating bits of works of art that bring value different than entertainment. Our sculpting tools are the various AI infrastructures. The design, the idea, or the shape of the thing that we're sculpting is coming from our own backgrounds, our own culture, our own upbringing, and the thing that we think our client needs or wants. While it is business, it's not all business. I think the future of a lot of this looks different than what business looks like today. I'll just say that all the ICMs that I've been working on since learning of this methodology have evolved by chipping away and changing and modifying policies, guardrails, skool files, and personality for the folders (as well as the stages of the work that needs to get accomplished). Without all that it is just folders and files but with that it's folders and files that look like the Mona Lisa.
Thank You VIPs โ€” Open-Source Opus Clips Alternative ๐Ÿ‘€
VIPs โ€” just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the warm welcome last night ๐Ÿ™ Really appreciate the energy, the conversations, and how open everyone was. Excited to be in here with you all. Also, someone asked last night if there was an open-source tool similar to Opus Clips for cutting long-form content into short-form clips. This might be worth checking out: https://github.com/latent-spaces/nanoclip-cutting-room Itโ€™s called NanoClip Cutting Room, and from the repo it looks built around turning longer footage into vertical shorts with cutting, reframing, captions, and rendering in the workflow. Figured Iโ€™d drop it here in case it helps anyone creating content, clipping calls, repurposing trainings, or testing more open-source workflows. Curious if anyone has already played with this โ€” and if not, drop a ๐Ÿ”ฅ and Iโ€™ll test it out and share what I find.
