Wow, have you guys heard of Temperature as is related to AI? In short (in GPT's own words😂): In the context of AI language models like GPT-4, "temperature" is a parameter that controls the randomness or creativity of the generated text. A higher temperature value (e.g., 0.7) encourages the model to produce more diverse and creative responses, while a lower temperature (e.g., 0.1) makes the output more focused and conservative, sticking closely to the most likely words or phrases given the input. In short, temperature helps balance between randomness and coherence in the generated text. Adjusting the temperature allows you to fine-tune the AI's output to fit specific requirements or preferences, whether you want more creative, unconventional responses or more focused, predictable ones. Ok for Relevant examples, same prompt about @Andrew Kirby , same list, different tone/feel: summarize YouTuber Andrew Kirbys message in 3 points: Although Andrew Kirby's content covers a wide range of topics, some key themes that often emerge in his videos are: 1. Self-improvement: Andrew Kirby often focuses on various techniques and strategies for personal development, such as time management, productivity, habit formation, and overcoming procrastination. 2. Mindfulness and mental health: He emphasizes the importance of cultivating mindfulness, self-awareness, and mental well-being, often discussing meditation, stress reduction, and the impact of social media on mental health. 3. Philosophy and psychology: Andrew Kirby frequently explores philosophical ideas and psychological concepts that can help individuals understand themselves better and lead more fulfilling lives. He often discusses ideas from Stoicism, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other frameworks to provide his viewers with practical tools for self-improvement. Now again at a different temperature: summarize YouTuber Andrew Kirbys message in 3 points, temperature = .95

I need your help and your opinions. I am currently studying abroad and my time here will be soon over. Therefore I want to stay in contact with some people or at least have some way of connection for the future. I deleted almost all of my social media a few years ago and I think this had super positive impacts on my life. Right now the problem is, that it seems inevitable to use instagram again, to keep some of my new built up connections. Please leave me your thoughts on this situation. Is it worth to open up the box of Pandora again?

Does anyone have the old newsletter content? The revue links don't work anymore.

AI is a different form of synthesizing tool, like having your own personal team of brainstormers and content reviewers to get you started in creating. I recently came across the idea of using ChatGPT to create better prompts for itself and defining roles for chatGPT in the prompt and have been diving into to rabbit hole. How have you guys used ChatGPT so far in your synthesizing? Here is an Example of the iterative prompt Q&A and role process: I want you to become my prompt engineer. Your goal is to help me craft the best possible prompt for my needs. This prompt will be used by you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following processes. 1. Your first response will ask me what the prompt should be about. I will provide my answer, but we will need to improve it through continual iterations by going through the next steps. 2. Based on my input, you will generate 2 sections. a) Revised prompt (provide your rewritten prompt. it should be clear, concise, and easily understood by you), b) Questions (ask any relevant questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt). 3. We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the Revised prompt section until I say we are done. You then iterate with the prompt answering chats questions for you to refine until happy.

I've noticed that not just the most promintent consultants build their apps, but also smaller ones. There's a massive shift from service to product. SaaS is inevitable. I suggest to speculate on what will the new Andrew's product be like. Let's see whose predictions will be the closest to the future reality: • name of the product • ideal customer profile • value proposition

The Zeigarnik Effect is named after Lithuanian-Soviet psychologist, Dr. Bluma Zeigarnik, where she posits: “Our minds quickly forget finished tasks. However, they are programmed to continually interrupt us with reminders of unfinished tasks.” – Dr. Bluma Zeigarnik, 1927 There’s no biological advantage to remember finished tasks, however, it serves us well to remember unfinished tasks. Having unfinished tasks on our mind is a heavy cognitive load which zaps our energy, When you have unfinished tasks, write it down, get it out of your head and schedule it to be done later.

Hey everyone! Lately, I've been struggling to stay accountable while writing scripts for my YouTube videos and writing email newsletters. If you've also been putting off some deep work, how about we schedule two 90-minute deep work sessions each week, say, on Thursdays and Saturdays? The idea is that we'll jump on a Zoom call (I have a premium subscription), keep our videos on but stay muted for 90 mins (NO RECORDING). This will create a dedicated, focused space for us to tackle essential tasks twice a week. At the end of each session, we can share our progress, ask each other questions, and provide feedback to help improve our efficiency. Let me know if this sounds appealing to you. If it is something you are interested in, shoot me a pm explaining three simple things: - Why you would be a good fit? - What exactly you are trying to accomplish through deep work sessions? - What are your goals this year?

The Power of Using Stories In Your Marketing: ~Why are stories so important to use within your marketing strategy? The answer is very simple they make people feel like they are a part of your brand. Let me elaborate on this. Have you ever wondered why movies and music are so popular? They both tell stories. Yes of course music has tunes & tempos that you can enjoy without lyrics but what really drives virality within the entertainment industry is the stories that capture the audience within the songs and movies. How can we incorporate this principle of storytelling within our brands and products? Humanization is a very powerful way of doing this. When Google wanted to market its search engine it had no idea what they were gonna do. How on earth are you supposed to market a search engine? Google's marketing team came up with an idea that was absolutely brilliant. They made a story of a young American man visiting Paris that found a girl he was really interested in. The only problem was the language barrier. The man used Google to learn the language of French and was able to communicate with her. Long story short it goes through their whole life and how they ended up getting married and having beautiful kids and lived happily ever after. You see, Google understands this concept of storytelling and humanizing their services to connect with their audience so why shouldn’t we do the same? ~ if you found this post of any value consider connecting with me

Here is what my super mentor Sidz RajSekhar says as below and because of whom, Sam Ovens is my grand mentor.. what spirituality all by oneself if not creating wealth in between? - Growth requires focus. - Focus requires clarity. - Clarity requires purpose. - Purpose requires introspection. - Introspection requires spirituality. The deeper you work on yourself, the wider your impact will be.

I figured out how to search for ANY WORD mentioned in a video you are editing, it's completely free and uses AI. No more scanning through tons of footage to find that one snippet of a clip you know exists. The method works for Davinci Resolve (free and paid), Avid and Premier Pro. I made a loom video guiding you through how to set this up for Davinci Resolve, after spending way too long figuring it out. Hope this helps some of you! I feel like I just found an editing cheat code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loom video guide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Links: About the AI software Download the AI software Convert SRT file into Markers

Remember how I closed that 300k deal? That involves hanging around with the CEO of the company, an 8-figure entrepreneur. He's a beast. Part of my role is hiring A-Players to scale his YouTube. So I was on a de-briefing call to talk about who I thought was one of our ‘best candidates’. “That candidate is weak, Andrew. They’re weak because they don’t have the proper speech patterns.” Proper speech patterns? WTF. Our call ended before I was able to dig deeper… I couldn’t stop thinking about what he said. I NEED to know the answer. I want to be an A-Player. And I know you are who you surround yourself with, so I NEED to be able to SPOT A-Players. So right when our next call started, I asked him what speech pattern do A-players possess? He paused. Thought for 10 seconds. “It’s just about being concise. That’s the differentiator between an A-player and everyone else.” And it made so much sense to me… Rambling is an indicator of poor, unclear thoughts. Clear thinking leads to clear speaking. C-players are unclear. A-players are concise.

WHERE MY YOUTUBE EXPERTS AT?? In your opinion, what's the best way to scale to 20+ calls/month organically from Youtube for a coaching or consulting business? How many vids/week? Niche only, or a mix of hyper niche and broader content? How much should you be paying for editing, thumbnails, seo, etc (ie everything but shooting) Of course, I know the answer will have to be somewhat custom-tailored to the individual, but are they some benchmark metrics?

The way I create content has changed. Before I used the OUTSIDE IN approach. I was creating content for people OUTSIDE my audience to try to bring them INSIDE my audience. As a result, I was obsessed about algorithms, mass-market appeal, and attracting more more more. But there's a few problems with this approach: - I ended up with a lot of people who liked my content, but no one who loved my content - It was never clear to me WHO I was creating for. Because I was always creating for people who weren't already in my audience, it was difficult to imagine who they were, or what they liked. - There was always a slight difference between what my audience wanted, and what I needed to do to grow my audience. Difference groups wanted different things. This caused tension - Most of my focus was on marketing (bringing people in), and less was on product (making the people already here happy) But what if I flip the model on it's head? Enter the INSIDE OUT approach. Instead of creating for people OUTSIDE your audience to try bring them IN. Create for people INSIDE of your audience, until they become raving fans, and they bring people OUTSIDE IN. - Now you get a few people who LOVE your content (which is better for niche fame, gets you 1000 true fans, and probably gets you more customers). Instead of trying to attract the attention of everyone, now you attract the attention of the RIGHT PEOPLE - It's crystal clear who you are creating for. If you have a community, make for them. If you have a product, create for your customers. Then just share any content you make for them publicly. - Now all of your focus is on product, not marketing Practically speaking... I'm experimenting with using Synthesizer School as the hub of my content system. It's so much more fun to create for YOU than it is to create for the algorithms.

This is a message for Consultants. Specifically someone who sells coaching or a course to help people solve their problems. In 2022 I: - Spent two days in LA with Sam Ovens (on track to become billionaire) - Spoke with Alex Hormozi ($200m/year portfolio) - Spoke (and worked) with MrBeast (130m subscribers) - Spoke with Cole Gordon ($2,000,000/month) - Met Bas Slot in Lisbon twice ($1,000,000/month) My conclusion after all of this was simple: This industry is changing… The smartest people have noticed, and are already taking advantage of this shift. Everyone else will be left behind. Watch these clips (5-10 mins) to spot the shift. - Clip from Sam Ovens - Tweet from Alex Hormozi - Another tweet from Alex Hormozi - Clip from Cole Gordon (making $2m/m+) - Clip from All In Podcast (all four are Billionaires) - Clip from Alex Hormozi Watch those clips before reading on. They're short. Here's how I see things changing: - Direct Response → Brand - Ads → Content - Selling → Giving And to me, this is a GREAT SHIFT. Thank fuck this industry is FINALLY maturing. It's no longer enough to have flashy marketing and great sales skills. You have to build a brand. Over the past few months I’ve hinted at this shift quite a few times, and how I've used it to make $100,000/month profit (and sometimes even $90,000 in a day). I've made a: - 33 minute Loom video explaining this new model - 21 minute Loom video explaining how I got 600,000 subscribers using this model - Free course explaining how to build a great community - Loom video I sent to Alex Hormozi about using trends to grow an audience when he asked me to help him grow his YouTube - Notion page explaining the lessons I learned about YouTube growth from speaking with MrBeast - Google Doc explaining the content system that grows your audience in just two hours per week

I've been trying to be intentionally productive on this Skool platform to keep myself in a state of flow within balance as a Synthesizer but also as a consultant doing my own work. I've been hesitating to post a few things that are on my mind such as ''How I'm able to tap into productivity'' when I got out of a rut, or more more consultancy driven content such as ''How to pick the perfect business name'' because I don't want to flood it with my posts and ''less is more'' kind of thing. What do you guys want to see? I want to be productive within this community to provide as much value as I can because the value I've gotten from people here is extraordinary. 🙏

Yoooo, what's up gang, I'm still alive! This is going to be the last update for awhile, as I gotta shelf my writing for a bit to work for the summer. The book has still a TON of work to do before I got something I will be happy with. But I have learned so much in this process, so I'm happy with that. My understanding has massively increased along the way. Measurable Progress: - Word Count in Main Document: 131,681 words. - Word Count in Trash Document: 102,509 words.

This is a long post so thanks to anyone who reads it and replies. I appreciate you. This post took me > 3 hours 30 minutes to write and organise my thoughts. Good times, organising the whirlwind of thoughts that I put down on paper. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 I am in a funny position. I have opportunities to go to the 'best' universities in the UK but I am not interested in that. They keep trying to get us to write what subjects you are passionate about and what you want to apply for at university. I'm just sitting there like: I'm not really passionate about these subjects (in a school setting) and I don't want to take them further. Dropping out calls me. I got dialled in for 6 months on GCSEs (UK exams you take at 16 years old) and basically smashed them. Everyone else was super happy about their results. I felt barely anything. I set a goal, I did well but it wasn't worth it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I played that game and it wasn't worth it. I am not interested in playing the 'get good grades' game anymore. I know I could crush it again if I wanted to, but I just don't care. Motivation for school has plummeted since. I've been doing the minimal possible. Teachers are irritating, the work feels pointless. I have this urge, this energy to break out. There is a little bit of fear/ anxiety around dropping out but also excitement. It feels right. (with things like this I suppose there is always a bit of uncertainty. A defence mechanism. I suspect some it may also be down to not having completely broke the chains of my parents opinions.) It doesn't take tons of time (20 - 30 hours per week right now I think. They do like to randomly give more work though and I suspect it will increase around mock exams and the real exams. I do have data from the past few weeks to analyse so I will have a more accurate number) but still a distraction that gives no real benefit. The way I look at it, is it is probably worth working a few more hours (or even the same hours, J.O.B. depending) but actually at something where I'm learning and earning. (I will be able to use money to then buy back time that is currently used up - e.g. get food delivered, build home gym etc. Buy other things to increase productivity/ save time. more control around routine when I move out, softwares, VAs in the future idk).

Title is: "No Self-Control? Here's Why" I've made 7 videos so far and have definitely levelled up each time--mainly through a combination of help from you all, shameless stealing, and just DOING IT. For this next video, I built off Andrew's post on 'Spending $20K To Go Viral' and focused on the 'Binge Bank' section. My non-nuanced take is: Creativity is kind of bs so just go find someone in your niche that's crushing it, copy them, give it your own spin--and so that's exactly what I did here. Super open to feedback about the Title and Thumbnail but I love the thumbnail as is and I think one of reason it works actually is because it's visually pleasing: probably something to do with the law of thirds etc. The video is about why people lack self-control in the modern age and how I personally overcame this problem. Other things I've been telling myself that have SUPER helped me just take action and make cool stuff is: "Go crazy, go insane, be yourself, do it wrong, what is the version of yourself who an achieve your dreams and just do whatever that guy does no questions asked." Cheers! And best of luck to all you out there doing it.

Does anyone know a good live chat widget to put on the bottom right of my website? I'm also looking for a newsletter widget to put on the bottom left of the website. Appreciate any recommendations!

Is there an Accountability Call going on right now ? I did't see anyone, it's just me.

This post teaches you how a CEO worth $150M thinks about Sales. QUICK BACKGROUND In 2019/2020, I worked at one of Toronto's fastest growing software startups. Zoom and Shopify are clients. Company was just valued at $1.2B. (65X valuation...) Head of Sales was 26 and had already sold two companies. CEO was 33, and had also sold a few companies. It was an amazing environment. I booked multiple 1:1 meetings with the CEO to find out what he knew that I didn't. Here's what he taught me about improving my response rate and sales. CLARITY/BE CONCISE & THE NEWSPAPER METAPHOR You have to get right to the point and indicate how you're going to bring some clear-tangible value. His exact words were 'imagine every word you write is incredibly expensive and you are incredibly cheap.' His metaphor was this: Think about sales through a newspaper metaphor: - The more senior someone is in an organization, the more they just communicate and understand headlines; they only understand and will only listen to the 8 words that are the highlight of today’s story, - The more junior someone is in an organization, the more they front load information in huge text bodies and paragraphs. They’ll give you all this information and then end with the headline, - Senior people, if they open an e-mail, and see something that extends beyond a couple lines––they’ll just ignore it immediately. Complete default ignore. - If you can craft a picture of the e-mail being really tight, really small, it’s more likely to be opened and responded too and it’s a sign of respect––you’re not taking time away from them. For me specifically, the sweet spot is 70-125 words. Any longer is playing with fire. I booked meetings with CEOs of big companies with 70 word emails. VALUE You must bring Value. But wait, what actually is Value? It's a buzz word that gets tossed around a lot in the sales/entrepreneur world and since I like asking stupid obvious questions, I asked him: What does Value actually mean to you? His exact words:

I find too many consultants/ coaches struggling because they are applying incredible skills to states of being instead of actual products or ends that their clients will get support achieving. If I meet you in an elevator and we chat. I get excited about our conversation, I should be able to ask you the following question and I you need to know the answer to build your business: "What do I hope to gain in 3 months, 6 months of working with you?" My colleague has volunteered to be the guinea pig in this process. Hope to see you there.I hope it will be of value to those who attend. No sales pitch, just info. https://twitter.com/Citymermaid777/status/1640542139707949058?s=20

Ali Abdaal has had loads of success with the PTYA and im sure andrew kirby also made his momney through an online cohort. I want to offer an online cohort in future during specific periods of the year teaching people. where can i learn more about to get customers for these + optimising customer experience + how to price one My current thoughts are just build an email list and keep growing my youtube channel and then it will work naturally but thats all ive got so far.

Made my first ever sale today of a $9 course which is a tripwire. I’ve made money before on TikTok creator fund from my old niche (£50ish) but I only made 1 video in this new niche and already made my first £7. Unreal feeling man but it’s definitely proved it’s possible. Email follow ups were key for this as only 8 people opted in to my lead magnet and they didn’t buy the tripwire immediately but instead through emails. Shoutout to hamza for recommending the secret series by Russell Brunson on his unfiltered channel a year ago. This is proof synthesisers change lives because now I know I’m going all in on content.
