“You just changed my life.”
I was talking to my Uber driver and started asking him about his side businesses. He said he had heard of AI but never used it.
At the end of our ride, I asked him if he had 3 minutes to show him ways to improve his work.
We pulled over and I walked him through ChatGPT and Perplexity AI on my phone.
I showed him how to write cold emails, how to personalize text to him/his bio/his voice, how to create schedules, how to get the early scoop on the latest trends, how to edit the output.
His jaw was on the floor the entire time.
He talked about how he’s going to use it to create a football training plan for his son, vacation with his family, strategy sessions with his business partner, and custom thank you emails to his private clients.
I reminded him not to trust the accuracy and to always double check the output.
He laughed, grabbed my face, kissed my hair, and said, “I don’t know why we met today, and I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again, but you just changed my life.”
If you work in AI, please spend time educating others on this tech—on the good, the bad, and the ugly. THIS is the time to pull others up with you, to help those in and out of your community.
Empower one, change many.
And say hi to Caesar! 💫
