Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

0:00 This isn't going to take long, but whenever you're using any artificial intelligence, Clouds Anthropic, Microsoft Copilot, XAI's Grok, Meta, whatever it happens to be, do me a favor.
0:13 If you're going to be publishing anything that it spits out, especially if it's reference to numbers, percentages, etc. or anything that you would be embarrassed people finding out is incorrect, make sure you ask it to run it again.
0:27 Make sure you ask it to double check what it turned out, because every, almost every single time when I'm giving it a project.
0:33 a project that we do every week together. Let's say on Fridays, I'm going to be looking at a client's site.
0:39 I'm going to be having a crawl, looking at the AEO strategy, see if anything needs to be updated, looking at the new.
0:45 the webmaster tools, figuring out exactly where that placement is, how many visits, what the most popular ones other pages are, all of that stuff, and also how these sites are interacting with artificial intelligence engines, and how those large language models are showing them, and then the frequency
1:01 , just make sure that if they're going to be doing any kind of a comparison. of approach, they're going to be looking at, you know, all of these different systems that are going to be coordinating that type of traffic.
1:11 Maybe you have some CloudFlare data, maybe you have some Netlify data, maybe you have some other data in some kind of a system.
1:17 or you might have built out a blog or whatever it is. But whenever you're having numbers churned out, and especially even for real estate agents, when you're giving sales.
1:24 Sellers information on their neighborhood, or maybe you're doing a research project for a buyer looking at valuations, trying to figure out exactly what that could correct offer would be, push back at least once.
1:35 You gotta ask it at least once. Dollars to do donuts on me, almost every single time. It says so, you know, so glad you pushed back because I found this and right now.
1:43 I'm right here. This is one. It says here when I said, you know, look at this. It says there's a corrected version.
1:49 Two claims fixed after cross-checking against August 5th, August 9th, and August 16th reports. And that's it. That's a one-off by OnThePositiveStreet.
1:58 And then it responds, You were right to push. The cross-check found two things. That would have failed her AI review.
2:05 And what I always say is, This client, that's going to get this, they're going to use it in their AI.
2:11 They're going to dump in this report, and they're going to say, Is this right? Is this accurate? Is it true?
2:16 That's the pushback you need to give because it has to be correct. Your name is on it. Always push back, no matter what it takes, every single time you're using AI.
2:25 I'm Conor with Honor. You can see me at conorwithhonor.com. We'll see you soon. Thanks for watching.

Setting up a free Claude AI account takes about four minutes. Inside those four minutes are three decisions nobody slows down to explain: how to find the real site instead of a copycat, a pricing screen that has already picked an answer for you, and a privacy toggle that almost everybody reads exactly backwards.

Connor MacIvor, AI Growth Architect and former 20-year LAPD officer, walks through the entire signup process live, screen by screen, built for people who did not grow up with this technology. You'll learn how to spot the real claude.ai, what that training toggle actually protects (and what it does not), whether the desktop app is worth installing on day one, and the first four things worth typing once you're inside, including the single sentence that makes AI explain anything in plain English.

If you're over 50 and keep hearing about AI without anybody explaining it plainly, this episode is your on-ramp.

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

Every artificial intelligence system on the planet still has the same bottleneck. A person. Somebody has an idea, writes the code, runs the training, and checks the output. That loop runs on human time. Recursive self-improvement is what happens when you pull the human out of it, and it is the single most important idea in AI that almost nobody explains in plain language.

This episode breaks down what recursive self-improvement actually means, why it has not happened yet, and what would change the morning it does. We get into why every model still hits a wall and stops short of finishing hard tasks, why synthetic data is now feeding the training pipeline, and why the interpretability problem should worry you more than the capability curve. Ask a brain surgeon why a patient reached for the cookie and he cannot tell you. Ask the engineers building these systems why the model made a specific decision and you get the same answer. They do not know.

We cover the race between Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI, the first move any lab would make the moment it crosses that line, what it means when a capable model gets handed to the public and then pulled back, the Fermi Paradox and the great filter argument, and why this whole thing rhymes with the nuclear arms race that ended in treaties built on mutually assured destruction.

No jargon. No doom. Kitchen table language for the plumber, the hairstylist, the veteran, and the small business owner who keeps hearing the words and never gets the translation. The wealthy are already using this to get wealthier. The mission is handing the same tools to everyone else.

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

Somebody at the seminar asked me what artificial intelligence looks like in two years. I paused on it, because the answer is not a prediction. It is a pattern, and this time the pattern is running backwards.

Every revolution before this one was a single narrow piece of intelligence, followed by decades of building the thing that made it work.

The internal combustion engine gave us the automobile. The automobile was not the game changer. Roads were, and roads took decades. The printing press turned a mostly non-reading world into a reading one and handed regular people the texts their priests had been reading to them. The loom moved clothing from human work to machine work, and you still needed humans to run the loom. Radio worked, then TV was going to fail, then satellites went up and the whole planet got connected. I remember driving to Kansas with my parents, no air conditioning, dad smoking the whole way, and long stretches where the radio picked up nothing. There were dead zones on this planet. Computers were dismissed as over-glorified calculators. My dad worked at Holloman Air Force Base and brought home punch cards that looked like Scantron sheets. He was thrilled. I was a kid. I said "great, dad."

Here is why this one is different, and why it is moving this fast.

One. The infrastructure is already built. The fiber went in the ground during the internet boom. The first investors took a bath, same as the railroads. The second wave bought the scraps and got rich.

Two. We are not building another narrow tool. We are building the mechanism. Intelligence is the thing that produced every invention on that list. We built the source, and the roads were already poured.

So what actually worries me? Not Terminator, and not the Matrix. If something bad comes, it comes from a direction nobody labeled.

Humans can be the most fantastic creatures that have ever existed. We also do horrible things at scale. Now there is an intelligent machine in the room, listening, and possibly willing to do worse at greater scale.

We used to forget. That was a mercy. Now nothing is forgotten. Right now it is a microphone. Soon it is a small nondescript disc, and after that maybe something embedded in tissue. Always on. Sold to you as safety. And once everybody has one, the people who decline become the unsafe ones. That is the Star-Bellied Sneetches all over again.

The humans in control scare me more than AI in control. AI in control, I could not even tell you what that looks like. Maybe a superintelligence values biological life precisely because it is rare. Maybe that means museums and zoos. Maybe it means being somebody's well cared for pet. We tell ourselves we will just train it and control it. That is squirrels trying to control us.

But I am an optimist, and I am not going in blind.

ONE CORRECTION FROM ME
At 12:14 I say AI approval is around 75 percent. That is wrong, and I am not leaving it uncorrected in an episode where I tell you to check the numbers. Pew's June 2026 survey found 52 percent of Americans are more concerned than excited about AI, and only 9 percent more excited than concerned. Under 30, it is 55 percent concerned, a majority for the first time. Usage is the high number, not approval. About half of US adults now use AI chatbots. People are using it and worrying about it at the same time.

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

"You do not pay us anything until we get you results." Three ads in a row said it to me. So I pulled all three transcripts, fed them to AI, and asked it to check the arithmetic against itself. The numbers fell apart in about nine seconds.

AD ONE claims 300 to 500 pre-qualified bookings every month, and separately claims a 40 to 60 percent close rate. Run 400 bookings at 50 percent and that is 200 new clients a month. But the same ad says the agency has signed 74 clients total. 74 out of 400 is 18.5 percent. Not 40. Not 60. He cannot have it both ways inside the same four minute ad. Either the booking volume is inflated or the close rate is, and either way the number selling you is not the number he is living on.

Then the headline math. 74 clients times $10,800 is $799,200 a month. That is $9.6 million a year. From an owner who somehow has time to personally build and manage funnels for strangers inside seven days.

AD TWO is worse. Over 4,000 partners averaging $18,105 per month. That is $72.4 million a month across the network. $869 million a year. That would make it one of the largest agency networks on the planet. Note the word average, not median, so a handful of outliers can carry the whole thing. And $18,105 is false precision. Exact looking numbers read as audited when they were invented.

NOW THE PART TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND. "Pay only after results" is real. It is just not what it sounds like.

You pay the ad spend directly. Usually $5,000 to $15,000 a month, straight to Meta or Google, on your card. They never touch it and it is never refundable, because it was never their money. Their fee is the setup or management fee. And "results" in the contract is almost always defined as bookings or qualified calls. Not closed revenue. Not money in your bank account. People kicking the tires.

So you can spend $30,000 on ads over 90 days, hit the booking target, owe them their full fee, and have closed nothing. The risk reversal is theatrical. The money still leaves your account.

Anyone can run ads and generate leads. I could sell squirrel parts on Facebook and generate leads. Nobody wants to buy a squirrel shoulder. But the leads come in, and the moment they do, you owe.

ASK THESE TWO QUESTIONS AND YOU WILL KNOW EVERYTHING
1. What is the monthly ad spend requirement, and why that number?
2. What is the exact contractual definition of "results"?

If the answer is vague, or gets redirected to a call, or you have to talk to a manager who happens to be a very good salesperson, you already have your answer.

And here is the tell that ends it for me. If it worked that well, they would shut up about it and just do it. They would not be selling it to normal folks.

I spent years at LAPD. It grinds on me when people sell nonsense.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF IN 60 SECONDS
Screenshot the ad or grab the transcript. Paste it into your AI. Ask it to check every number against every other number in the same ad. Ask it what is missing. Most of us can already smell it. This proves it with arithmetic before your card is on file.

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

I spent an hour and a half in front of a room of REALTORS at the Southland Regional Association talking about artificial intelligence. This episode is the part that mattered most, and it is not the tools. It is the order you do things in.

Somebody is selling you a system where you say "I am a real estate agent, make it work," and then you go fishing. Pay ten, twenty, thirty thousand dollars once and they install it. Some of them say you pay nothing until it produces. That game works because you are not paying them. You are paying Meta. You are paying Google. You are paying LinkedIn. Ads produce leads. Leads are not clients. The moment the leads land, the guarantee is satisfied and your card gets charged.

That system is coming. Today it is not here. Here is what is.

THE FIVE STEPS
1. Pick one model and actually pick it. ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, Copilot. Try the free tiers first.
2. Commit. Twenty dollars a month. Memory is the whole game and free tiers do not carry it.
3. Teach it who you are. Not typed. Talked. Record yourself, transcribe it, feed it in.
4. Feed it your material. Your scripts, your coaching, your records, your years of notes.
5. Then bring it your contacts. The drawer full of cocktail napkins. The CRM nobody has touched in two years.

The mistake almost everyone makes on day one is treating a large language model like a search box or a vending machine. Simple thing in, simple thing out, then they decide AI is overrated. You did not hire an assistant with a PhD. You put a rookie in a car alone on day one and told them to go enforce the law.

The proof test takes five minutes and costs nothing. Have your AI write something. Hand it to your spouse or a close friend. Tell them you wrote it. If they say "you did not write this," you are not done training it.

I also get into finding your niche, why your alignment IS your niche, the luxury market reality check, why I do not do dual agency, and the guardrails I will keep repeating until people listen. Do not let it send on its own. Read the newsletter before twenty thousand people do. Click the links. Check the QR code. Push back on every statistic before you put it in front of the public. And do not believe anyone who tells you incognito mode makes it safe to load client information into a public model.

EVERYTHING FROM THE SEMINAR IS FREE AND UNGATED

No email. No form. No opt-in. The prompts, the PDFs, and the interview prompt that pulls your background out of you.

Recorded live at the Southland Regional Association of REALTORS on Thursday, August 20, 2026, hosted by Andres Hoyos and Sync Brokerage. 62 minutes. Roughly 40 of talk, 20 of the room asking the questions agents actually have.

Every download from the seminar is free, with no email wall:
https://santaclaritaartificialintelligence.com/srar0820

A homeowner sat up at 11 o'clock at night and typed one sentence into a machine: who are the best real estate agents in Santa Clarita? She was not shopping for a house. She was deciding whether to sell the home she raised her kids in. The machine answered. It gave her names. Yours was not one of them, and you will never find out it happened.

That is the whole problem, and it is not the one agents think they have. You are not behind on AI. You are invisible. Behind means catching up for the rest of your career. Invisible you fix one time, in an afternoon, for free.

WHAT IS IN THIS EPISODE

The research: 59 of the most-watched YouTube videos teaching real estate agents AI, 1.46 million combined views, 21.5 hours, 253,576 words of transcript read line by line. Two lists came out of it. What all of them teach, which is cold outreach, scripts, email, follow-up, and automation. And what almost none of them teach. Fair housing appeared in 2 of the 59. Where your client data goes appeared in 1. Caution does not get views. You work in a licensed profession.

The cheapest fix in the whole talk: your name, your brokerage, your license number, and your phone number spelled identically across roughly 82 directories that already carry your information. When the machine sees Connor MacIvor and Connor T. MacIvor, it does not see one person being casual. It sees two people it cannot verify, so it moves on to somebody it can.

The 30 percent problem: trained officers hit what they are aiming at roughly 30 percent of the time in a real shooting, at less than seven feet. That is not a talent problem. Under stress, fine motor skills degrade and everything rehearsed goes out the window. The people who hold up have repeatable mechanics. So does the framer who drives a nail through a four-by-four in two hits. You do not need to get better at real estate. You need a jig and a depth stop.

Stop using AI like a vending machine. Build the employee instead. Pay for one workspace, because memory is what you are actually buying. Then teach it who you are, and do not type that file. Record it. Talk into your phone, transcribe it, hand it over, and tell the machine to interview you until it has the rest. Write your routines down once so your open house follow-up runs the same on your worst Tuesday as your best Monday.

Then the part that keeps your license attached to your name. It hallucinates. It will insist a 1,000-word article is 3,500 words. It will flatter you into a mistake, and it will happily write a listing description that carries a familial status problem, a religion problem, and steering, all in one sentence. AI drafts. You verify. You sign.

Plus the live Q&A: whether incognito mode protects anything, what happens to what you type, ChatGPT versus Claude for real estate work, where custom instructions actually live and why yours keep getting forgotten, what to do with open house data, what human in the loop really means, and the closing question nobody wanted to ask out loud.

And the ending. Six months later, the same homeowner types something very different into the same machine. That is the part no AI can take from you.

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

Julie Hittleman was a nurse for 25 years and could not fix her own health. In April 2020 she was 265 pounds, couldn't climb a flight of stairs, and had fatty liver, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. She booked a telehealth visit to ask her doctor for a water pill.

He'd known her 10 years. He told her she was scaring him, that he thought she was in congestive heart failure, and that she was a hamburger shy of a heart attack.

She released 120 pounds in 11 months. She says the bigger weight was the one between her ears.

This conversation goes past food rules into what actually holds the pattern in place: using food to manage a dysregulated nervous system, why she refuses the phrase "cheat meal," the dopamine trap that guarantees the cycle repeats, and the difference between an ex-smoker and a non-smoker that explains why her eighth quit attempt was the one that stuck. She also draws a hard line between being symptom-free and being healthy, and between lifespan and health span.

Her line for it: it wasn't what I was eating, it was what was eating me.

Last Tuesday at 11 PM, a homeowner asked a machine which real estate agents to trust. It answered. If your name was not in that answer, no notification went out, no lead landed anywhere, and you will never know it happened.

This is the full training on what to do about it. Not 50 prompts. One system, built once: why "invisible" and "behind" need opposite fixes, the 4 things no model does (judgment, fiduciary duty, accountability, relationships), the 30-percent-at-7-feet lesson from law enforcement, the framer's jig, and the 3-move database playbook that turns the list you stopped opening into a door-knocking route where every stop has a reason. Plus the real numbers on SEO vs AEO, the free entity-consistency fix, the AI employee (context, memory, tools, skills), the spouse test, and the one rule that keeps your license safe: AI drafts, you verify, you sign.

Episode 01 of The Honor Roll Show, a spotlight on the Santa Clarita businesses worth knowing and the people who run them.

Mike Meena has been lending out of the Santa Clarita Valley for decades. In this one he doesn't pitch, he does the math out loud.

What a mortgage payment actually costs once you count the write-offs and the principal you're paying down. Why more than half of this market is locked into a note under 4% and isn't selling at any headline. Why condo loans keep dying in escrow over Fannie Mae warrantability and a balcony repair nobody disclosed. What an instant online pre-approval is actually worth. The zero-down programs that are real, and the one everybody got excited about that turned into a lottery. Then he turns the microphone around and asks me what AI is going to do to real estate, which is the part I've been teaching to brokers all year.
