Hey! This is Ep138 of Amplify Ai - Integrating Intelligence, Preserving Identity presented by Ronsley Vaz.

Hey, AI geeks. It's Ronsley!Most people are obsessing over prompt engineering whilst completely missing the real competitive advantage. Simon Bowen just dropped a truth bomb that'll change how you think about AI communication forever: "Depth of thinking is the only true market differentiation there actually is."

Here's what you'll discover in this episode:

🧠 Why visual models destroy traditional prompts when communicating with AI

📊 The 4-quadrant framework that transforms resistance into acceptance

🎯 How to make AI do the heavy lifting instead of you doing all the convincing

🚀 The "AI line" concept: human replacement vs human enhancement

💡 Why creative communicators run the world (and cut-paste communicators don't)

⚡ Simon's exact method for getting superior AI outputs using hand-drawn models

🔥 The genius model framework that captures founder originality in 7 minutes

This isn't another "here's my favorite ChatGPT prompts" conversation. Simon's built his entire business on models that think deeper than everyone else - and now he's showing us how to apply that same methodology to AI communication.

The bloke literally saved someone's life by knowing how to communicate properly with AI. That's the level we're playing at here.

If you're tired of generic AI outputs that sound like everyone else's content, this episode will fundamentally shift how you approach AI collaboration.

Hey! This is Ep137 of Amplify Ai - Integrating Intelligence, Preserving Identity presented by Ronsley Vaz.

Hey, AI geeks. It's Ronsley!

Most people think they're building AI agents when they're actually just creating glorified assistants. This distinction will make or break your AI strategy in 2025.In this episode, I sit down with Matt Alder from Recruiting Future to break down the real difference between AI hype and reality. As someone who's been coding for 20 years and programmed tractors using GPS back in 2006, I'm sharing what actually works versus what the "fake it till you make it" crowd is pushing.🔥

What You'll Discover:

• The critical difference between AI agents and assistants (and why it matters for your business)

• Why the current AI development curve is sustainable (despite what doomsayers claim)

• The consciousness framework that determines how you'll see AI opportunities

• Which AI tools beyond ChatGPT are actually worth your money

• How to augment your 20 years of expertise instead of panicking about replacement

• The ethical boundaries every business founder must understand

Why This Matters:

If you're a business founder feeling overwhelmed by AI options or worried about being left behind, this conversation will shift your entire perspective. Stop treating AI like a shiny object and start using it to amplify what already makes you brilliant.

Matt asks the hard questions about where humans fit in an AI-driven world, and I give you the practical framework to move from panic to strategy. No fluff, no marketing hype - just real insights from someone who's actually built AI systems.

🔍 COMING UP THIS WEEK: An eye-opening conversation about using AI where it matters most - not to replace humans, but to enhance what you're already doing brilliantly!

Hey, it's Ronsley!

Most business owners are making a critical mistake with AI - they're using it to enhance what they're already good at. But the real power lies in using AI to strengthen your weaknesses while you focus on your unique genius.

In this episode, I chat with Justin Buzzi about how he's implementing AI in his kayaking business - not on the water where human connection matters, but in streamlining customer journeys, booking processes, and backend operations.

You'll discover:→ Why using AI for what you're weak at (not what you're strong at) creates the biggest wins→ How Justin uses AI as a meeting note-taker to stay fully present in conversations→ The shocking revelation of how I completed 33 manuscript editing tasks in just 7 days using AI→ A powerful mindset shift from "betting on the business" to "betting on yourself"→ Why AI is about augmentation, not replacement - the perfect human-machine partnership

This conversation reveals exactly how small businesses should think about AI integration - enhancing the customer experience without losing the human touch that makes your business special.
