One thing that we didn't really dive into in our last episode is the topic of how to use these technologies in the most effective way to benefit our business.For instance, if we have real-time metrics integrated into our website, we provide our consumers with the convenience of checking our lead times in a time frame that is convenient for them. We also talked about the way that AI platforms like ChatGPT can carry the load of some of the day-to-day mundane tasks, such as writing emails or social media captions. While ChatGPT is useful in this way, it is not perfect. Marc and Nick advise you to take the material generated by ChatGPT and make it your own. Put your own words and voice into what it gives you to make sure that your message maintains your personal flair. AI also, has the ability to take business performance metrics and compile them into a comprehensive report to show you where you were successful, where growth occurred, and what is possible for the future based on historical performance.Marc and Nick are full of so much useful information on how to leverage these technologies and how they can make us more efficient in the work that we do.

Artificial Intelligence and its impact on how we do business is something I like to talk about any time I'm given the opportunity. With the way AI is integrating into our everyday life, it is inevitable that we start facing the different ways that it will impact our roles in our industries.When we are faced with a program that interacts and behaves as a human, taking over basic administrative tasks and conversational needs while being very accessible and providing answers and results that feel real and tangible – it opens so many doors in our personal lives and our businesses and changes the way we interact with technology.Continuously growing in popularity, AI is generating a huge following, and the ultimate reason is that it takes care of the tedious, mundane things that we often find ourselves dreading. Writing that introduction email for a job interview? Creating that budget policy? Need a recipe for chicken teriyaki? Ask an AI platform, and you've got an answer at your fingertips within seconds. The first part of this series is full of so much expertise and information surrounding AI platforms and the role they play in the workplace. If you're considering incorporating an AI platform into your business to streamline your work processes, you'll want to tune in to this episode to hear more about the ways that Mark and Nick see AI changing the future of how we do business.In this episode:[03:03] Welcome, Marc and Nick.[03:50] Marc Ronic shares his background and experience.[06:30] Nick Nalbach shares his background and experience.[08:53] Marc and Nick share their definitions of AI and what it means in everyday life.[10:47] How long has AI been used by people regularly?[12:05] Why did ChatGPT generate so much attention compared to other AI platforms?[13:34] How does AI actually work?[16:13] Why is AI growing in popularity?[18:20] What was the catalyst that caused such an interest in AI?[21:50] What is the relationship between OpenAI and ChatGPT?[22:33] Why should businesses consider taking advantage of an AI tool?[26:35] Real-life use cases for AI platforms such as ChatGPT.[27:23] How can AI automate your workflows?[28:56] A workflow automation example for the contract interiors industry.[31:44] How to train ChatGPT on your specific processes to gain more specific responses.[33:05] Thanks for joining us today!

In this podcast episode, Nick Nalbach, a podcasting launch pro and founder of Nine-Five to Freedom, teaches us how to take control of our lives and journey to wealth and freedom by strategically crafting an effective podcast launch—eagerly building relationships and creating a powerful community along the way. "When you realize that you can be in control, then you can make those decisions. If you're in a season of life where you're hustling or if you're in a season of life where you're kind of kicking back because you did hustle for so long and now you're kind of reaping the benefits of that." - Nick Nalbach This is Nick Nalbach's story... Nick Nalbach is originally from Wisconsin and had been working in project management, moving around to different cities until he and his family settled in West Virginia. Wanting to get a leg up in life, he read the book "Millionaire Fast Lane" and was inspired to pursue avenues of wealth that weren't focused on a 9-5 job. He was intrigued by the idea of having control over his life and financial stability. Pat Flynn, the host of "Smart Passive Income" helped him realize that he too could start a business. In 2020 Nick started the "Nine-Five Podcast" to share stories of people who went through the same process of transitioning to entrepreneurship. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. Discover how to gain control over your life and career 2. Learn about the power of passive income opportunities, and how to make the most of them. 3.

Nick Nalbach is currently working as a Project Manager in the construction industry. Originally from Wisconsin and currently living in West Virginia. After spending a year or two working in the field, he realized that this wasn't what he wanted to do for the rest of my life. That is when he found entrepreneurship and came to this realization that ANYONE can become an entrepreneur and build something of their own. Although Nick didn't have the prior entrepreneurial experiences and successes to lean on, he figured; why not take people along on his journey of building a business and brand – show them what he is doing (what works well and what doesn't). As Nick was doing research and learning new things, he fell in love with podcasts. Now, Nick Nalbach is a podcast host (Nine-Five Podcast) where he interviews other entrepreneurs to discuss what makes them so successful and how they went from working a 9-5 to working for themselves. Nick is also getting ready to launch his first ecommerce business, and in the process of creating a few online courses to help others looking to launch their own podcasts.

Paul is joined by Nick Nalbach to talk about escaping the nine to five existence a lot of us live in and how to make ‘passive income' which will enable you to live life on your terms and take back control. KEY TAKEAWAYS Entrepreneurs are driven to solve problems head on whereas business owners sit at the top of their business, watching their employees work, collecting the paycheck – not that I'm bashing that, and a lot of entrepreneurs start off that way. Entrepreneur is a mindset, whereas business owner is a title. You do get asked questions like “you're putting a lot of time into the podcast, but how much is it making you?” It's not making me any money right now, I'm doing it for the fun and the experience. I enjoy it and it's connecting me to some amazing people. It's one rung of the ladder to get me to the next step. At first, I saw success as material things – cars, houses, etc – but the more I talked to more entrepreneurs that are crushing it and now I think of success as freedom and having control of your life. I want to enlighten people who feel stuck in their nine to five existences through my book, as a kind of mentor. If you're going to try building something, having a mentorship from someone who's been there and done it is so valuable. They can bring new ideas to the table that you may never have thought of or point out the mistakes that you're making without realising it. Be you, continue being you and continue being human, stay authentic. It might sound cheesy, but it will attract more people than you can imagine, even if you think you're the most off the wall one off, you'll be surprised how many people have the same interests as you and are just like you. BEST MOMENTS ‘I define myself as an entrepreneur and a podcaster.' ‘I have in my mind a vision of where I see me and my brand going and how I want to get there and how everything will be tied together.' ‘Something a nine to five doesn't allow is for you to go out and experience things. Why would I stick around if that's the case?' ‘You only have a finite amount of time when it's all said and done, how you spend it is important. Spend it with the people you love, doing the things you love.'

Like most people, he knew a college degree is something he should pursue, without a real agenda or end goal in mind. He is now a Project Manager for a construction company who travels to a new project each year, so is never in the same place for more than a few months at a time. He says: “It is very exciting getting to experience places I never would've thought to visit, but I am putting in many long hours each week. And don't get me wrong, I like what I do, I am just looking for a way to make my cash flow more passive.” The book ‘The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime!' by MJ DeMarco, completely changed the way he thought about his career and making money.  He then started thinking about what passive income is. “I've always thought of it as unfathomable, and only the lucky few could manage to get there, but it's not!” Through research he heard countless testimonials of people who were making passive income a reality for themselves.  For Nick, it's not about being the next Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. It's more about having the freedom to live life and spend valuable time with the people you love and care about. “I want to help you achieve the very thing that I am working towards. That's what Nine-Five to Freedom is all about. I am not an expert by any means, and I may not always have the answers at first. However, I am willing to put in the work it takes to get myself, and you, there. Are you!?” Website: https://ninefivetofreedom.com/ & https://ninefivetofreedom.com/podcast/ Twitter and Instagram: @ninefivefree ABOUT THE HOST Paul has made a remarkable transformation from existing for many years in dark, desperate despair; to now living a really healthy, happy and fulfilling life. From an early age, he was in the vice-like clutches of the demon drink and constantly embroiled within a dark cocktail of toxic beliefs, self-hate and destructive violence.

This week, I sit down with Nick Nalbach, host of the Nine-Five Podcast, a show that features entrepreneurs sharing what got them to where they're at to help you get inspired to launch your own entrepreneurial journey. From new entrepreneurs to entrepreneurial veterans, Nick dives into what made them choose this path, and how they've managed to find success in their given niche. I don't really know what to do with my handsNick's original idea was for a video show, but he felt uncomfortable being "on display", and wasn't really sure how to present himself that the audio-only option of a podcast was far more attractive. Content that Has an ImpactNick makes a really good point on how we can often talk ourselves out of creating something, because we feel we'll never be as good as someone who's already doing it. But all content can make an impact, and that's the thing we should be looking at. I can be presentNick shares how he spent years blogging, and he could never have imagined having the guest he has on his podcast write guest posts for the blog. However, having a podcast has given him a presence that guests seem to be more inclined to appear on, and that's helped him grow personally and professionally. Why You Should Fire Yourself From Your BusinessOne of the things that can be hard to manage is when to outsource your needs. Finances can play a part, as can being reluctant to let go of your "baby". But as Nick shares with an example from one of his guest's, hiring can make you much more efficient and thereby earn more revenue. Success is Different for EverybodyNick talks about why he was always turned off by the 9-5 job, and much of it is down to the lack of control. You're always adhering to someone else's clock and schedule, and you usually have little say in how your own work life revolves around that. Not that you can't feel successful in a 9-5 job, as everyone's goals are different.
