With that, we've made it through another week, and with it comes another list of interesting developments at the intersection of business, tech, and human experience. This week's are a little unique in that there is a red thread that runs through them all. As always, thanks to the community of you who send along topics and feedback. With that, let's hit it. Microsoft Recalls Recall - It's never fun to admit when there's egg all over your face, especially when you're the one who put it there. However, Microsoft stepped up to the plate after the intense reaction to Microsoft Recall and while they haven't completely recalled the product, they have changed it so you have to opt-in versus opt-out. Who says we can't inspire change? Apple & OpenAI's $0 Deal - You don't typically see gentleman's agreements between massive companies, and I'm sure in this case, there were still plenty of lawyers involved. However, the partnership between Apple and OpenAI doesn't appear to have a formal dollar amount associated with it. While that's led many to go the conspiratorial route, there seems to be some pretty logical explanations on why that's where they landed. Apple's OnDevice AI - Speaking of conspiracies, many have been wondering if Apple Intelligence is just a fancy way to distract you from your data being taken and sent elsewhere. However, digging deeper into the capabilities of Apple's OnDevice model, it's clear we're moving into an age where Internet connectivity and massive data centers won't be a dependency for fully capable GenAI. That's probably good since everyone demanding a digital Maybach for occasional AI use isn't terribly sustainable. Snowden Calls Out OpenAI - While OpenAI adding a former NSA Director to their board may have slipped past many, Edward Snowden wasn't one of them. He also had some pretty harsh words to say about the decision, letting people know "They've been warned." However, while he's got some legitimate reasons for concern, is this really the government conspiracy many have been led to believe? I'm not convinced based on OpenAI's needs as a company and the purpose of board members. Autonomous Warfare - While autonomous sharpshooters have historically been reserved for sci-fi military movies, a video I watched this week showcases how science fiction is quickly becoming a reality. And, while some are suggesting there's no reason for concern since we'll just live in a world where robots fight robots, I can't help but wonder about their choice of weapons. If I were in a fight against a robot, a gun wouldn't be my weapon of choice. It'd be a lot more logical, and I'd certainly feel a lot more comfortable if they were walking around with buckets of water. Show Notes: In this week's update, Christopher discusses Microsoft's significant change to its 'Recall' feature, highlighting the consumer pushback that led to a shift from an opt-out to an opt-in model. The episode also unpacks into the intricacies of the Apple and OpenAI partnership, debunking conspiracies around their no-money transaction and emphasizing their mutual benefits. Additionally, we explore Apple's advanced on-device AI model, its implications for data privacy, and the shift towards more localized AI solutions. The episode concludes with a sobering look at the Government's potential involvement in AI companies as well as the role of AI in military technology, featuring autonomous marksman robots and the ethical considerations they raise. 00:00 - Introduction and Weekly Update Overview 01:59 - Microsoft Recall: Privacy Concerns and Changes 08:11 - Apple and OpenAI Partnership: No Financial Exchange 15:49 - Apple's On-Device AI Model: Privacy and Capabilities 27:55 - Snowden's Warning: OpenAI and Government Involvement 38:25 - Autonomous AI in Warfare: Ethical Concerns 44:59 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts #ArtificialIntelligence #Microsoft #Apple #OpenAI #DataPrivacy #TechNews #MilitaryTech
In our newest episode, we talk to Joe Valley, a Certified Mergers and Acquisitions Professional. After facilitating nearly 1⁄2 billion in exits, Joe has written the bestselling book "The EXITpreneur's Playbook" to help online business owners get the maximum value and best deal structure when they seek an exit. Tune in for Joe's insights, and don't forget to download three free chapters from his book, just for the Ecwid community: Chapter 11: Identify All Your Add-Backs Chapter 13: FBA Roll-ups, Yeah or Nay? Chapter 15: Structuring the Deal You can download the chapters in the Ecwid Blog: https://www.ecwid.com/blog/becoming-an-exitpreneur-with-joe-valley.html Some key insights of the podcast include: Getting the Basics Right to Build on Your Foundation Set a specific goal for your exit time and value. Getting the basics right starts with getting your books and accounting in order. Understanding a seller's discretionary revenue is the key to understanding the actual value of your business. The Peculiarities of Selling a Business C-Corporations are harder to sell because they involve an asset sale, not a stock sale. However, more than just assets will be involved in the contract. Post-sale, you'll need to stick around and help with the transition. For most business owners, the most money is made at the exit. Becoming an Exitpreneur Learning to look at your business as a short-term project can help you build something great. Shifting your mindset from being an entrepreneur to an Exitpreneur, can be exhilarating, but difficult for some people. What Revenue Levels Are Buyers Looking for Today? The four things buyers look at while deciding on a deal are: Risk, Growth, Transferability, and Documentation. High total discretionary earning is the goal. Two-year-old businesses with six-figure discretionary earnings are ideal. Sell on growth years.

Our guest today is Brian Briscoe, an apartment syndicator and podcaster. In this episode, we dig into the 4 crucial elements of any investment strategy: assets, market, team, and deal. Brian shares his strategy, the right mindset for an investor, and what he learned as a Marine that you can use in your business as well. Learn more about Brian and his journey at reiclarity.com! “You really need to have that same mindset with multifamily investing or creating a business as in the military. There's no other answer besides getting it done and succeeding.” 03:12 Brian served as an active duty US Marine which helped him to create a “never give up” attitude. He has this mindset in his real estate business as well and for him, success is inevitable. According to Brian, the traits that successful investors portray are confidence and honesty. If you have the right strategy, trust in yourself, and understand the value that you're bringing to your investors then you will succeed. Be honest with people and don't push deals on them that are not a good fit. “At the end of the day, you have solid returns for a relatively low amount of risk and that's what drives me to multifamily.” 13:11 Brian digs into his strategy based on the REI Clarity Framework. The 4 main elements of every good strategy are assets, market, team, and deal. Assets: Brian is committed to the multifamily asset group. There's always going to be a demand for shelter and it is proven to be the most resilient for downturns. Markets: Brian is looking for markets that have strong tailwinds. Based on nationwide trends, money is moving from high cost of living areas to low cost of living areas, from urban areas to the secondary and tertiary markets, and from North to South. Team: Brian's advice is to have like-minded people in your team of operators that are committed to providing value. Find one trusted service provider who can suggest other great service providers to you. Deal: You make money on a deal by solving problems. Brian suggests finding out how to add value to the property and doing a lot of underwriting. You could underwrite 50-100 deals until you come across a good one. “Whenever you're in a position where you're doubting yourself, the best way to get out of it is to be proactive.” 31:36 At the end of the episode, Brian talks about mindset. He suggests discovering your “big burning why” because that will always drive you forward and won't let you quit. Brian choose multifamily investing and stopped being an active duty Marine because he wanted to be more present in his family's life and have more time freedom.

004: What They Don't Tell You About Flipping (Besides The Money) Are you looking for a great business or even just a side hustle? Flipping things for cash may be the perfect option. Anyone can do it, and there's plenty of opportunities…. and money! *wink* Think flipping is all about just making money? Think again. There's no doubt that money is good but aside from that, flipping also reaps very generous rewards. They may surprise you. Listen and learn as AJ discusses the hidden benefits and perks of flipping – from education, skill set to (of course) money! You don't want to miss this one. Subscribe Android | Stitcher | Spotify | Tune In | SoundCloud | RSS 4 Value Bombs Flipping has a lot of benefits and there's more to it than just money. Flipping can further your education in a variety of areas. Once you start getting into the flipping business, you will develop and master critical skills and traits that are not usually gained from college courses. If you want to have full control of your life and income, flipping is definitely for you. Profit is okay. There is nothing wrong or unethical about buying something low and then selling it to someone else who wants it for a profit. Everybody wins. Show Notes [1:35] – Flipping has a lot of benefits and there's more to it than just money. Learning how to ‘flip' makes you better, sharper, and smarter. For AJ, flipping is more valuable than a college course. Not only you are getting paid to learn, you also get to develop, and master specialized skill sets that even college grads never develop. You become more valuable. More business savvy. More sharp. [2:43] – Once you start getting into the flipping business, you have to know a series of different strengths and skill sets that are vital and critical in making a profit. Eye for the Deal™: You must learn how to find the right items to flip. Research: Be a fast and effective master researcher. Selling: Learn how to sell better and be a better marketer. Start by reading books. The people who learn how to sell in market are the people who rise to the top financially and in so many other ways. [5:42] – Flipping 101: Know the numbers When you start flipping items, you are going to be tracking and calculating sales and profits. Even if you are not a numbers person, you will become one quickly. You will love numbers, and naturally, you'll get better at the making and multiplying of numbers (MONEY). [7:23] – Once you start flipping, you start making money right away and it's life-long. The flipping business is not about adding. It's about multiplying. Save adding for your day job. Midas touch: You learn it once, then do what you want and make what you want. [9:56] –Having full control of your life and income Freedom: Be your own boss and set your working hours. Security: You will naturally feel empowered and totally secured because you essentially have your income in your own hands. Confidence: Confidence starts to carry over to other parts of your life. You become a better version of yourself. [16:22] – Flipping gives you the opportunity of meeting an interesting community of people. [17:47] – Turning YOU into a business With your own business, you are accountable. You are responsible. You are in control. [19:37] – Becoming an entrepreneur The moment you start flipping is the moment you become an entrepreneur. The moment you start making a profit is the moment you're in business, and that's right away. You get to develop critical skills and traits like discipline, hustle, and time management skills. Every time you flip something, you're not ripping anyone off. You're not scamming anyone. You're adding value to the marketplace. To the economy. [26:19] – 3 WINS of flipping: What happens when you flip things? In the flipping business, there's always three people or three parties who win. The "Flipping Triangle" -- or the "3 Wins of Flipping" [31:30] – Flipping is FUN. Once you get into the flipping business, you won't believe the amount of fun you're going to have. You'll get this certain feeling that you can't experience anywhere else because everything is so random, new, and exciting. Every day is an adventure into the unknown. Besides all the money you're making, you're having such a fun time. It's exciting. Quotes: "Flipping, in general, the very act of you making a decision to learn this skill set makes you better... makes you sharper... makes you smarter. And without a doubt in my mind, I'd say it's even more valuable than a college course." "The moment you start flipping is the moment you become an entrepreneur. The moment you start making a profit is the moment you're in business -- and that's right away." "...it's everything you would have to learn as a successful businessman or woman or entrepreneur. That means in order to make a lot of money and be successful, you have to have a series of different strengths, traits, and skill sets. Ones that are vital and critical, ones that'll help you in all parts of your life." "We call it having the 'Eye for the Deal'. This will overall sharpen and improve your awareness all across the board with all sorts of things. You're constantly training yourself to see new opportunities. Then you start doing it on autopilot. It's like you become this beacon. It becomes second nature. You're fast, you're sharp, and you can quickly recognize profitable money-making opportunities." "This will immediately start paying you. I will immediately give you this Midas touch; one that'll shock and piss off your friends at the same time who are working their butts off all week long to make what you can make and maybe a couple hours." "Besides the money, it injects confidence and a feeling of power, making it such a valuable, rare and prestigious skill set you can be proud of. You become in charge of your destiny and finances." "...and you're just like, Wow, you know what? I don't want to work anymore for someone else. Those skills that you were building up the whole time – the skills of discipline, hustle, ambition, time management – all those skill sets will be there for you; ready to serve you because you spent all that time outside of your day job building them up."

New year, new us! No longer is Tab full of rage, he's committed himself to a life of zen, and has sworn a vow of silence. On the other hand, Tim the Handlebreaker has taken his collection of broken handles and is putting them to good use. If you find yourself without a handle, there's only one man to call: Tim the Handlegiver. Join these two renewed men as they deliver deep into the world of incredible celebrity near-death experiences and:* Hiking* Ruining the Classics* Retired Action Heroes* Taking a Baby to a RestaurantHey, you know what sounds like fun? Let's get away from electricity and central air, and rough it. We'll live like our caveman ancestors did. We'll relive their nomadic ways before the wheel, we'll climb this mountain or trail for......some reason. Why? Just… why? We invented all these niceties for a reason, and you just wanna ignore them for the hell of it? To eat granola bars and wear boots? To earn a merit badge and eat Wolf chili from a can? To get a tick on your taint and a mosquito bump every few inches? To get mauled by a cougar and have to cut your own arm off? Just download the hottest new survival game on Steam. Trust me, there’s plenty.Hearing the phrase “a new 8K scan from the original negative” gets me rock hard like almost nothing else can. The way to deflate it? Motion smoothing. Additional CGI. Digital noise reduction. Aaaaaaaand it’s gone. Look, once you get the “bug” of being able to see this stuff, it’s more a curse than a gift. No one else in my household could tell that motion smoothing was happening and I died a little bit on the inside. Banding? What’s that? Poor color space? I don’t know what that is. Bad upscaling? Something’s wrong with the TV. Sigh.Lieutenant, we need you to come back in. Your old nemesis is back and you’re the only one that can stop him. Ahh. Retired heroes. The trope to start all great action movies. You thought he was out of the military/government agency/shadow ops squad/paramilitary assassination group/illuminati, but they’ve got to bring him in one last time, and now it's personal. Why does it work? 2 things. Quick character history. He’s retired? That means he was good enough at what he did to do it a long time. Then, carte blanche to kill any and everyone. It’s bad enough they had to drag him out of retirement, but then there’s that extra push. Dead dog, dead wife, kidnapped daughter. As soon as that happens, he could bomb a nursery and you would still be rooting for him.Speaking of nurseries, please, for the love of the god I don’t believe in, leave your kids there and don’t take them out to restaurants. You want to go out? Get a sitter. Can’t afford one? Then you can’t afford to go out either. Can’t find one in time? Tough luck. Pick up your phone and use Grubhub or Ubereats or what have you and eat in. Where people can’t hear your baby cry. Or, buy me an appetizer. Deal? You buy me an appetizer, and your kid gets one good cry. He does it again? Entree. Third time? Kid gets a punt in the head. Or you do. Either one’s fine with me.All this and more on this brand spankin’ new 2019 episode! Voicemails! Voting! Dolphins! Don’t forget to check out our PATREON and DISCORD for more porpoise-related humor.
