This device has both its advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a look: Pros: 1. Easy to use: The FIXD App and Sensor takes only a few minutes to set up, and the app is straightforward to use. It doesn't require any technical knowledge or complicated installation instructions. 2. Affordability: Compared to other automotive diagnostic tools, the FIXD App and Sensor is relatively affordable, making it an excellent choice for car owners who are looking to save money. 3. Comprehensive Diagnostic Capability: The FIXD Sensor is compatible with all vehicles since 1996, which means you can use it on many car models. The app describes the problems detected in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand way. 4. Detailed monitoring: The FIXD sensor tracks all of your vehicle's data and displays it in real-time. This information ranges from battery health, air-fuel ratio, and engine noise to critical engine functions warnings or issues. 5. Increased safety: The FIXD app and sensor can notify the user of any car problems, which can help prevent accidents related to car malfunction. This feature provides peace of mind while driving. Cons: 1. Need for a Smartphone: FIXD App and Sensor requires a smartphone for use, and it may not be compatible with devices other than Android and iPhone. 2. Limited functions: Although the FIXD App and Sensor provides diagnostic information for the engine, it cannot perform repairs - it only displays what's wrong with the car. 3. Not applicable on all vehicles: While the FIXD device operates with all vehicles since 1996, some hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles may not be compatible. 4. Security concerns: The FIXD app requests permission on your smartphone that might compromise your safety, privacy, or security. 5. Unreliable connectivity: The FIXD Sensor's Bluetooth connection can sometimes drop out, preventing the app's ability to diagnose or monitor your car.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures.  Product Release of the Week: Who doesn't love a good product release and this week, after much anticipated industry coverage, Greenzie has pushed a major update to their software. Quick reminder about Greenzie, they are a software company that makes commercial lawn mowers autonomous. They have partnered with manufacturers including Wright Manufacturing and Bobcat to build the mowers with a few more bells and whistles so they can be activated into autonomous mowers. Landscapers love them, especially landscapers who mow big, wide open fields. This week, Greenzie launched a major update to their software including: Job saving and reloading: Map an area once and mow all season with the press of a button on an easy-to-use interface with no app download required. So now a lawn maintenance company can mow the perimeter of a property once and it's saved in the database so you don't have to mow the perimeter again. Before, you had to mow the perimeter each time. Not any more. Another major feature is job continuation. If your mower or job was interrupted now you can pick up where you left off with ease. Before it would start over from the beginning. These are huge workflow updates along with several other enhancements! Congrats to the Greenzie engineering team on delivering to the market.    Quiet Giant of the Week: This company just moved their HQ to 999 Peachtree Street which is 10th and Peachtree, right where Empire State South used to be. The name of the company is called FIXD Automotive. They have approximately 40 employees led by CEO, John Gattusso. Fixd is a hardware and software company that offers drivers the tools and resources that produce money saved and peace-of-mind over the life of their car. Their FIXD Sensor, which works with any gas-powered car since 1996 relays car problems from the vehicle to the FIXD App via Bluetooth. With the FIXD sensor, now you can translate 7000+ engine codes into plain English on your smartphone, see how severe your issue is, access detailed repair guides and how-to videos, monitor the health of multiple vehicles, and receive automated maintenance alerts. FIXD started out of Create-X and has been a Quiet Giant, growing steadily and quietly for years.  Question of the Week: We've been getting asked a bunch recently, what is Atlanta Ventures take on Artificial Intelligence? There is no question AI is a transformative evolution in technology. There will be several jobs and roles augmented and alleviated. From a pure consumer perspective, we are users of ChatGPT and Dall-E2 and explore those applications often. When it comes to pure investment in the space, it all depends on how AI is being applied. For example, last week, we invested in AdPipe out of Athens, Ga. They are Motion-First marketing platform that goes and finds specific types of clips in your video library, clips them into 2 second gifs, makes it easy to add overlays and copy, and then packages them up so marketers and sales reps now have a motion-first, customized piece of content. The engineering team is leveraging AI to find those specific clips. For example, one of their most well-known clients is Caterpillar. AdPipe now uses AI to find “videos of tractors” in Caterpillar's video library and within 30 seconds, AI has gone in and found dozens of videos from years of investment and delivered it to the AdPipe platform. Before AI, someone manually would have to go into the Caterpillar library, watch a lot of video for a few seconds to find tractor clips, clip it, and then upload it to AdPipe. Not anymore. One other point around narrative and storytelling on the fundraising side to highlight with AdPipe; they didn't brand themselves as a Generative-AI marketing platform when we first engaged with them. They were already solving a very real problem in the market with dozens of industrial customers. Instead, they are using AI to improve a specific use case and workflow. If we met a company that had no customers, limited product or revenue, and they positioned their product as an Generative-AI marketing platform, this is when our spidey senses would have heighted and immediately questioned if this was a spin on a piece of innovative technology looking for a problem to solve. All said and done, when it comes to AI, make sure the problem being solved is a real pain point and apply it smartly – a good example is the AdPipe product.  Annnnd that is five minutes!

In this episode, Craig and Kevin interview Beth Elliott with Fixd Repair Home Warranty.  If you're like most people, you probably have a love/hate relationship with home warranties. Are they really worth it? The bottom line is that you really need to know what you've purchased and what is covered with your home warranty.  Fixd Repair does things a little differently.  Beth explains a different business model that is more attractive than your run-of-the-mill home warranty company. This episode gives you some real insight into whether a home warranty might be right for you and your home.   Fixd Repair Website Fixd Repair Facebook Beth Email - belliott@fixdrepair.com   The Homeowners Show Website The Homeowners Show Facebook Page Instagram @homeownersshow Twitter @HomeownersThe   Info@homeownersshow.com

Hey guys! Awesome episode for you today. If you're an Auto Mechanic this is really insightful for you. We break down Three (3) Areas To Help You Boost Your Business. But also keep listening, if you are also not an Auto Mechanic because these tactics you can use to implement and grow your business as well. We're going to talk about things that I don't think that you would think about for marketing. We get to have some different ways or different strategies to reach people. Hope you enjoy! Here are some key points to this episode: Offer small services that make a big impact. a. Comfy chairs while they wait b. Take them out to show them what is wrong with the vehicle and don't just say what is wrong without showing them. c. Offer free rides back to their destination. If possible, pick-ups too. d. Coffee, a lot of people like coffee. But not that Folgers stuff you made 5 hours before they go there. e. WIFI, ‘nough said. There should be a push for women - Historically women have been taken advantage of at the auto repair shops. Go above the call of duty to make them happy and feel like they know what is going on. Those women are going to talk and spread your name (good or bad) way more than any guy will. Reviews and referrals - Reviews are the lifeblood of your business and especially in auto repair. We all know someone or experienced it first hand where you went in for an oil change and somehow got a new alternator, starter, and a tire rotation…. The car is 6 months old. Bonus - Reminder system. Something similar to FIXD. ______________________________________________ What do you think about this episode? We'd love to hear from you! Share us your suggestions, comments or questions.

Somehow I simply cannot walk and text at the same time. And that turns out to be a good thing. I begin this episode with some fascinating research about texting and walking – and how the people around you hate you when you do it. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/people-who-text-while-walking-are-annoying-as-hell-study-confirms_us_55b8f3e7e4b0a13f9d1b0b13?ir=Healthy%2BLiving%C2%A7ion%3Dhealthy-living&utm_hp_ref=healthy-livingCriticism can be tricky. It is often hard to give it effectively and it is even harder to hear it when it is aimed at you. That may be because we are not doing it correctly, according to Deb Bright, author of the book The Truth Doesn't Have to Hurt : How to Use Criticism to Strengthen Relationships, Improve Performance, and Promote Change. https://amzn.to/2ATMnyh . Listen as Deb reframes the topic and shows how criticism can be a very valuable tool in shaping behavior and getting things done. And it doesn’t necessarily have to sting.** BTW, if you wish to be part of Deb's research on criticism, send an email to dbright@brightent.comAnyone who has made the effort to eat healthy knows how hard it is to resist a sudden craving for junk food. You know nothing else will do and you know the craving isn’t going to pass any time soon. So what do you do? Well, it turns out there is a way to stop that craving dead in its tracks and I’ll reveal it in this episode. http://www.medicaldaily.com/eliminating-food-cravings-may-be-easy-looking-images-bugs-vomit-344656What if you could use computer algorithms to solve everyday problems in your human life, such as where to eat dinner or how to choose a home? Well, you can! In fact you should, according to Brian Christian, author of the book Algorithms to Live By. https://amzn.to/2OQGO6m Brian explains how many of our personal problems can actually be better solved by using algorithms if you understand what they are and how to use them.

When it comes to successful online dating, the two things that seem to matter most are your screen name and your profile picture. I begin this episode by explaining what works best as determined by researchers who reviewed thousands of online profiles of people who were successful online daters and people who failed miserably. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150212212100.htmWhat determines your behavior? Is everything you do the result of your free will or is your behavior determined by something else? Could it be you are not responsible for your own actions? Robert Sapolsky, a professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University joins me to make the case that we are not responsible for what we do – that it is determined by all sorts of biological influences. What he says will either make you a believer – or make you crazy. Robert is the author of several books including the bestseller, Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst. https://amzn.to/2LWQRZRDo you know what you look like – really?

Click above to listen in iTunes... Hey, what's going on, everyone. My name is Steve Larsen, and welcome to Sales Funnel Radio. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today's best Internet sales funnels. Now, here's your host, Steve Larsen. All right. All right. I'm making this real quick actually. This is going to be a fast episode. Russell is out of town, Russell Brunson, so he asked me to run Funnel Friday for him. If you guys haven't seen Funnel Fridays, just go to FunnelFridays.com. It's the show that he and I have been putting together, along with Jim Edwards and there's a few others, but we basically show people how they can build funnels in a matter of 30 minutes. We don't always finish them. In fact, most of the time we don't. The whole purpose of it is just to show that you really can finish them quite quickly. Anyways. Man, I got to go put that together real quick. I'm a little bit nervous. I'll be honest with you.... If you're on this podcast, you have the privilege of knowing that. I'm nervous. Four thousand people watch that show live, and within ten minutes, five hundred thousand people get it in their news feeds on Facebook. Anyways, I'm a little bit nervous. Anyways, I build just as much as Russell, so I should be all right, but I'll just be honest with you right now. I'm a little bit nervous. I'm here early. I always am, but here to figure out a plan. I ought to make it cool, but I want to share something with you real quick. It starts in two hours and I'm just getting here to figure this stuff out. Two hours... You might think, "Steve, why would you show up just two hours beforehand just to figure it out now? Shouldn't you be figuring out that a day or two ago when you found out?" Here's the reason why. I remember back in college, there were these semester-long projects that teachers would give. People would go walking around all the time thinking, "Oh my gosh, I got to start this thing," and they'd start crazy early. Then the whole semester would go by and they'd still be getting things done. I would start a week or two before the semester-long project was even due. People would be like, "You're insane, dude. That's suicide. Holy crap." I would always get it done. I would almost always get an A, also. People would be like, "What the heck, dude? How did you figure that out?" There's a principle that I learned in the middle of college and it saved so much headache and stress. I had free time again. I could do things again... I kept funnel building for people in the middle of college because of this principle. All right? Here it is. The amount of time that you assign to a task is equal to the amount of anxiety you're going to feel in it... That's one of the principles. Let's say you know that something's coming up in a couple months. You can't do this for everything. Obviously, there are some things you just have to get done in a certain order. There is planning... There is preparation, but you can use this principle in a lot of different ways, and I've done it, I don't know, for the last several years, and it totally works. It's the reason I'm here right now. I actually do have to get off and actually prepare this thing soon, but here's the other part, too, with those that your head and your subconscious understands that something is coming up, and it will already have been working on it before you actually start going on the task. As long as you know it's coming up, you'll already start to get ideas, things will start to formulate, and you'll be like, "Wait a second." I'll tell you guys. It was actually this morning in the shower. It hit me. I was like, "Ohhhh, I know what I'm going to do." It hit me. Then I got to the office real quick and I'm going to build it real fast and all will be well. Anyways, that's basically it. The whole point, the whole principle here, is that you have to think of whatever task is coming up for you soon, don't start on it on purpose. People call it procrastination. There's actually a good side to procrastination, and I've been doing it for years. If I'm about to go on a trip, I don't start packing until I need to leave, I don't know, like an hour or two. There's no reason to... You'll be able to figure out, and you'll always get it done. That's the funny thing about it is that everyone says, "Oh, you're not going to be able to get it done. Oh, you're going to run out of time." Every once in a while following this principle, that has been true, but 90% of the time has been totally fine, and it saves me all the stress and anxiety so that I don't have to think about it the whole way. "Am I going to bring a toothbrush?" Sure you are so just put it in. It's the same thing with funnel building though. Most of the time when I follow this principle, as soon as ... What's a good example of that? This is one of the first funnels I ever built. If you look at FixdInsurance.com, F-I-X-Dinsurance.com, there's no E in Fixd, that's one of the first funnels I ever built, and it was awesome, man. We had customers right off the bat. We were making money. It was great. I remember I got ClickFunnels as a trial. I waited to get the ClickFunnels trial for just a little bit. I planned it all out, meaning two days. I planned it all out, figured out what I was going to do and go build, and then I was like, "Okay, it's a 2-week trial. I'm going to be making money before my trial's up." Boom. I hit the start button and I built and built and built with this ferocious focus, and I stayed up late for a week and a half. I just crushed it out and pounded it out, and it was the first one I ever built, so I was a little bit slower at it, but I got it. I got it done, and we were making money by the time the trial was over, but it's because of that principle. I understood it at that point. You just make decisions quickly. Just make them really fast... I heard a stat on the radio yesterday actually. It's funny I'm talking about this. The average adult ... I can't remember which study. I can't remember which institute did the study. I can't remember the name of it, but take it for what it's worth. I'm sure you could Google and find it, but they're saying how a study was just done that adults make 35,000 decisions a day, micro-decisions, small things here and there, 35,000, and that kids, really small kids like infants and toddlers and stuff like that, they'll still make 3,000 decisions a day, but the number of decisions that kids are making and need to make a day are increasing like crazy. Just think about how many times you look at your phone or your email or whatever it is. It's the whole thing throughout the day, but it's the same thing with building or your business or anything you're doing. You just have to go create quickly. Speed is your friend... That's one thing I've really learned a lot just watching Russell. I don't know if you guys know ... It's who I work for. That's my day job, and then I build my own stuff in the evenings and mornings. It's the reason I'm here 5 am every day, but anyways, just watching him, the dude makes so many decisions so fast. It's insane. It's crazy how fast he makes decisions. He sits down. I'll watch the screen because I sit right behind him. He's all over the place. It sounds chaotic, but it's actually not. He just follows wherever his thoughts are going at that moment. I'm having a hard time talking. We track it all on something called Trello. You use Trello to gather everything. We have one board just for him and I, and we track our stuff, what we got to do, all the things. Anyways, we just make decisions quickly. There was a guy that we brought in recently. I won't say his name in case he listens to this, but he's one of the guys that gets hung up on details. He sits back and he's like, "Well, what are we doing to do about this?" We'll say, "Hey, we're going to do X, Y, and Z." He'd go, "That would be awesome, but, man, this could happen with X and be careful of Y and look out for Z." We'll be like, "Yeah, we already know that there's a risk. What we want to have happen is more than 50% of the time have a funnel work and have it make money and just break even. If we can do that, we'll make a million dollars with the funnel. Let's just move on." He gets hung up on the details and just driving Russell and I nuts. It's driving me nuts more than him because I'm working with him a lot. Just make decisions fast and understand that your brain is going to be able to handle it if you wait a little bit and on purpose... What you'll find is that you have more free time in your life, but you'll still be able to get all the cool stuff done also that you wanted to. Anyways, I'm talking too much. That's basically the whole principle. Wait. That's basically how I got straight A's in school almost in every semester. I waited on purpose. Guess what? I almost always got it done. Almost always got my assignments done, and the teachers knew I had good work, so the times I did have it a little bit late, they were like, "That's fine. It was 5 minutes late. You're cool." I played the game and I buttered them up... I did all this stuff that you're supposed to do in the game called school, and I'm doing the same thing with work. Give yourself short deadlines. Don't kill yourself. No one can have crazy, ridiculous stamina all the time. Everyone needs a break at some point, so take the break, but understand that you'll still be able to get the things done you need to if you're willing to go through it. When it gets close and people are like, "Oh, I haven't even started it yet. I think I'm just going to fail." If you're not willing to go through ... There are some little moments of anxiety. The first 20% that you push through might be a little bit muddy. You're trying to figure out how to get things done, but all of a sudden you'll have this moment of clarity. Pew. All these ideas and the way they connect together and how you have to build it or put things together or whatever, if it's an assignment, will just come waltzing into your brain. You'll know exactly what you got to do. I do that every day now on purpose... Anyways, guys. That's all I got for you.
