00:00:00.000 My 12-year-old came to me and he says,
00:00:02.060 I want to start AI automation.
00:00:04.240 I said, well, you know, my friends,
00:00:05.220 they're all business owners.
00:00:06.040 Find out what problem they're having
00:00:07.240 so that you can offer a solution
00:00:08.940 that you can use AI to solve.
00:00:10.680 And he's like, well, how do I do that?
00:00:11.720 So we'll call him.
00:00:12.280 He's like, well, give me your phone.
00:00:13.220 So little Noah started calling all my friends
00:00:15.320 and asking a simple question.
00:00:16.860 What is causing you pain in your business
00:00:19.080 that if you could automate,
00:00:20.280 it would make you money or save you time?
00:00:22.200 And one of them was like,
00:00:23.180 there's this thing I do with my podcast,
00:00:24.720 but I honestly don't wanna do it.
00:00:25.860 If you could take care of it for me,
00:00:27.440 I will pay you $12 a podcast episode.
00:00:29.880 And he's looking at me going like, should I charge?
00:00:32.260 And I say, well, you don't charge by the time.
00:00:34.580 Charge for the outcome.
00:00:35.860 Bundle it up.
00:00:36.680 How about we do six months?
00:00:38.240 Now you ask for the credit card.
00:00:39.320 Because the moment they actually give you the credit card, in their mind, they made a purchase.
00:00:42.740 In that moment, I watch him go from not a business owner to a business owner,
00:00:47.500 no customer to a customer, and getting paid.
