    Will AI Replace Humans? (Part 2)

    Will AI Replace Humans? (Part 2)

    Welcome to Part 2 of “Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Humans?”

    Today, Dan and Mike will wrap up this 2-part podcast by uncovering a few key principles that all entrepreneurs need to know in order to survive what’s inevitably coming.

    If there’s one thing they know, it’s that AI will continue to advance and become smarter and faster.

    For the inexperienced entrepreneur, it’s creating a lot of worry and fear and Mike thinks he knows why…

    We’ve already seen robots replace factory workers in assembly-line industries. Phone operators, telemarketers, and even receptionists are a thing of the past for many businesses. Many pharmacies are replacing their technicians with robots capable of separating and handling prescriptions...

    The next logical question is… Is your industry or skill set next?

    Mike thinks it depends. Luckily, there are a few things that you can do about it. Simple things, that if implemented, won’t just provide “job security” but change the way you do business.

    Here's a hint as to what it is that separates you from any robot out there… It’s the “human element.”

    Tune into the whole episode and it will explain everything. It just might save you from becoming a thing of the past…

    The Evolution of Human Labor

    Fasten your seatbelt because you’re in for a wild ride!

    In today’s episode, Dan and Mike started off talking about AI and the evolution of human labor, but that quickly evolved into a conversation about being able to spend all of your time in your own, “Amplified State.

    Or as Dan called it, YOU AMPLIFIED! (Full disclosure… Mike loved the term so much that he actually registered the domain while they were recording.)

    Think about the evolution of man… We started out as hunters, and then as communities started growing, we became workers. Farmers initially, but then we started turning towards knowledge, and that meant becoming creators.

    The next evolution is NARRATORS.

    What's happening today is that there's AI technology that allows you to speak what you want, and the AI writes it for you.

    Mike listened to a podcast the other day that was completely created by an AI. It was a conversation between Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs, and for the most part, it sounded fairly believable.

    Facebook just came out with an AI system that generates videos from text, and Elon Musk recently talked about a new $20,000 robot that he wants to put in his factories, leveraging all of the data acquired from self-driving cars.

    Imagine if you had a $20,000 robot. What would you have it do that would create huge additional capabilities for you?

    Then Dan brought up a VERY good point. “There's a big difference between human intelligence and AI intelligence… AI is NOT coming up with the ideas. It doesn't have dreams or meaning. It just takes what already exists and reconfigures it.”

    WOW. This was one of the most inspirational episodes that Dan and Mike have done in a long time. It really got Mike's wheels turning, and you'll get a ton out of it too.

    And BONUS… this is part one of two, so make sure to watch out for the conclusion next week.

    Start by listening to Part One TODAY!

    • (02:07) SO much new technology is happening right now! A quick rundown.
    • (05:54) It’s hard to establish what intelligence actually means.
    • (09:48) The fears of a Millennial

    5 Scary Ways AI is Changing Reality

    5 Scary Ways AI is Changing Reality

    Do you remember where you were on June 29, 2007?

    The day that Steve Jobs walked onto a stage, revealed the world’s very first iPhone, and said:

    “It’s a phone. It’s a personal communication device and a music player!”

    A day that will surely go down in history, but here’s the most extraordinary part… If you google what devices the iPhone replaced, you’ll find a list of 101 items:

    • Wrist Watch
    • Pedometer
    • VCR/ DVD Player
    • Television
    • Games of all sorts
    • Radio

    And the list goes on and on…

    But if you thought that the iPhone was big… This is infinitely BIGGER!

    I’m talking about Artificial Intelligence and it’s happening NOW. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about it but what you may not know is that every single day it’s getting faster, more accurate, and smarter.

    “I am really quite close to the cutting edge in AI, and it scares the hell out of me… It’s capable of vastly more than almost anyone knows, and the rate of improvement is exponential. Unless we learn how to prepare for, and avoid the potential risks, AI could be the worst event in the history of our civilization.” – Elon Musk

    In today’s episode, we uncover 5 Scary Ways Ai is Changing Our Reality and what that means for your future.

    We’ll also talk about the biggest industries (by revenue) that Ai has already taken over and what those changes mean for you and me.

    And in case this all freaks you out a bit… we’ll show you how you can use this unique opportunity in history as a stepping stone, rather than a stumbling block.

    The future has arrived, my friend. Stay ahead of the curve by listening to this podcast TODAY!

    3 Secrets to Extending Your Life, Losing Weight and Boosting Energy with Peptides

    3 Secrets to Extending Your Life, Losing Weight and Boosting Energy with Peptides

    Your health can’t wait until tomorrow… By that time, it may be too late.

    As a high achiever, entrepreneur, and overall “Go-getter”,  whether in business or life in general, how often have you lied by telling yourself:


    “Tomorrow… Tomorrow I will start to eat clean, get more rest, and start my daily exercise routine. Tomorrow I will start focusing on taking care of my health… Tomorrow.”


    It’s a tune we hear way too often that usually results in little to no progress from most entrepreneurs. Health, Longevity, and Life Extension don’t become important until the threat of losing it all becomes real.

    As obvious as you’d think prioritizing your health should be, we can’t say that we blame most entrepreneurs for having to learn this lesson the hard way… After all, you have way too much on your plate, right?


    It’s a slippery slope that you don’t want to find yourself stuck on…


    That’s what happened to Mike 10 years ago after finding out he had cancer. Long story short, it almost cost him his life. He got well and became obsessed with making sure that no one he loves ever has to go through what he did, that he will never get cancer again, and that he will have the highest quality of health possible every day that he's still breathing.


    He had been having a pretty good run of health since then… or so he thought until he met Regan Archibald, The Peptide Expert. 


    He’s a functional medicine practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, and author of eight books on health and healing.

    Archibald is a recognized specialist in peptide therapy and through Mike's bloodwork, has been able to identify markers of otherwise undetected, underlying issues. He was then able to suggest certain peptides to optimize Mike's metabolic functions and revolutionized his health. 


    Mike is 56, but he feels and looks like he did in his 30's! (Ask anyone who knows him) 


    Listen to this fascinating episode as Regan uncovers the secrets to health, longevity, and life extension by revealing the secrets of Peptide Therapy.

    It’s time to put your health FIRST.

    What the Next 30-40 Years Look Like

    How old are you? Seriously… If you’ve been around long enough, you can easily recognize that 30-40 years ago was a much different time than it is now, right?

    Which usually follows the cliche statement: “Time flies…”

    Yeah, no kidding. And with the way the world is evolving and the direction it’s moving in, there’s one thing that we can always count on and that’s CHANGE.

    A key difference with today’s change is technological advancements have rapidly sped up how fast our current landscape transforms from one period of time to the next… Literally within just a few short years, people went from listening to tape recorders, to CD players, to MP3 Players… Remember that?

    And now, you can fit your entire favorite music collection on the same device that you use to call and text.

    Everything is slowly becoming more and more digitized, which brings amazing opportunities for new innovation, solutions, and convenience, like a new version of the iPhone every year, but…

    That does NOT exclude the new wave of problems and challenges it brings, too.

    The difference is that for those that are aware of these new changes, those that observe and adapt to the new climate will always have the freedom and ability to thrive in an ever-changing world.

    Milk Your Data. Multiply Your Value.

    Pull Massive Amounts of Value, Wealth, and Longevity Using Your Data

    Most entrepreneurs continue to postpone or prevent massive growth in their business and undermine its potential value because they tunnel vision on the wrong things:

    • MORE Profit
    • MORE Topline revenue
    • MORE customers

    They’re so fixated on the small metrics and continue to pound them until it’s imprinted on everything they do, NOT realizing that the actual value of their business comes from within…

    Did you know that the data you gather from your business is worth (on average) 4X more than the business itself?

    Want to dramatically boost how your business is valued? You’re gonna want to hear this one.

    From getting fired for making the firm he worked for in his 20's too much money, to now, recently selling his company and its data for 40X its original value, Chuck reveals it all.

    You’ll never look at the way you build value in your business the same way again.

    Watch how this simple, African parable helps you refocus your attention on the “diamonds” you already have… You have to listen to understand. (3:35)

    The bottom line is if you’re looking to pull massive amounts of wealth and value from the data you already own and bump your business up to the next level, then this is absolutely for you.

    Watch as Chuck takes you through each step on how to level up your business using resources you already own by following these simple steps.

    Here’s your blueprint guide to growing your business!

    Most business owners/ entrepreneurs are sitting on GOLD and they don’t even know it…

    Today, Dan and Mike started to talk about The Top 10 Creative Blockers and How to Solve Them.

    But after really digging in, they came up with an idea called CREATIVE COMPRESSION which is, “how do you solve virtually any creative problem and get more done while staying in your unique ability all the time?”

    They ended up with a really useful set of questions you can ask yourself to solve virtually any problem either by yourself or in a group.

    How to Achieve Infinite Time & Money Freedom

    How to Achieve Infinite Time & Money Freedom

    What does infinite freedom mean to you?

    For a lot of founders, it means selling their business and investing in passive income opportunities to achieve unlimited financial and time freedom.

    Mike knows that’s what motivates himbecause why own a business if it doesn’t allow you freedom?

    Mike's special guest today is The Cash Flow King himself, Eric Francom. (https://www.ericfrancom.com/)

    He has a proven method for medical professionals to successfully boost profits, sell a practice, and make smart investments that work while you’re living the life you want.

    Coincidentally, his name “Francom” literally means “Free Man,” and helping others find the freedom he has is exactly what he does.

    Eric boosted his practice’s profits by finding new income streams, then selling his dental practice at its peak. This, combined with his unique investment strategy, helped him quadruple his NET worth in two years and it continues to grow today.

    In the same period of time, the investments he made also generated enough passive income to pay all of his bills and more. Now, he has the time to spend with his wife and children and the resources to do the things he loves.

    Before he made these strategic moves, his finances were strained, his relationships were tested, and his health was deteriorating.

    “I graduated dental school with a lot of student debt and took on even more business debt to open my practice. It was oppressive. I was so stressed, I threw up every morning.”

    Eric’s Infinite Freedom Formulas helped him turn it all around and live the lifestyle of his dreams.

    Learn all about the Infinite Freedom Formula by listening to the podcast.

    Being the Exponential Entrepreneur

    Being the Exponential Entrepreneur

    Today you’re going to be given a ONCE in a lifetime opportunity. Something Mike has never done before and won’t be doing again anytime soon.

    Mike is talking with the one and only, Jay Abraham.

    Over the course of his career, Jay has had access to over a thousand industries, 7,000 sub industries and generated over a hundred billion dollars worth of growth for his businesses and his clients' businesses.

    He has this uncanny ability to see hidden and untapped potential in every business, and if Mike had one word to describe him, it would be maximized.

    But what would you do if you had Jay's brain for a full day?

    How could you use his brain, with all of his experience, to either invent a business, craft a marketing message or maximize profit in the business you already have?

    Mike speaks to a lot of founders and business owners, and most of them say they've reached a point where they'd like to get out of their current business. Either they've outgrown it or they're looking for their third or fourth act.

    One of the best things that those founders can do is either find a way to reposition their business so they can sell it for a lot more money, or they want to create something that involves a platform and work ON the business rather than IN it, so they can have a new level of freedom.

    Today, Jay and Mike are actually going to invent an offer to kickstart a business like that, where you get Jay's brain and THE OFFER IS REAL.

    You'll see them create it in real time. The perfect offer for the founder who wants to reinvent.

    If that’s you and you’re an action taker, let’s get started.

    Key Takeaways

    • Mike tells us about one of his first marketing launches that produced one million dollars in 43 minutes! (04:53)
    • Jay talks about what it’s like to work with him as an advisor (09:56)
    • Jay gives us an example of a company he worked with that could have 10x’d their bottom line without increasing their top line (12:35)
    • Mike talks about his team of “WHO’S” that will help any business succeed asap (16:33)
    • Mike goes into detail about the offer and what you’ll get as a client if you qualify (57:22)
