"AI is the biggest technical thing ever in my lifetime. I mean, it is so profound and therefore its influence is hard to overstate."

The whole point of mastering AI and Leverage is to buy back time. Don’t forget to spend it on what matters most.

Two truths to think about…

The minute you try to automate relationships, you’ve already lost. AI is great for speeding up the little stuff. Ideation. Drafting. Data entry. But if it makes us cut corners on connection, we’re missing the point. Simon Sinek put it this way in Leaders Eat Last: “Trust is not formed through a screen, it is formed across a table. No technology yet can replace that.” Most people are over-optimizing communication right now, but they’re neglecting connection. The ones who lean into connection are the ones who will actually win.

It used to be that your friends & family would call you for basic real estate questions. Now? Most of them will ask ChatGPT first. That means two things: 1- Surface-level answers won’t cut it anymore. If someone reaches out, assume they’ve already Googled it, asked ChatGPT, or read 3 blog posts. They don’t want the “Wikipedia” version — they want your expertise. 2- The bar is higher (but so is the opportunity). When they do call you, it’s because they: - Got a half-baked answer from AI - Or they’re ready to move forward and need a pro who’s been in the trenches Translation: Every conversation matters more than ever. AI has already “warmed them up” — you just need to deliver the real-world clarity they can’t get online.
