Evan Ryan joins Dan Sullivan and Gord Vickman for another episode to share some valuable insights about how to regain control and use technology to enhance your creativity and freedom. Evan is convinced that AI’s best use is to amplify human potential rather than replace us.

 

In This Episode:

 

• Dan mentions his new quarterly book, Owning Technology Like A Great Dog, which emphasizes the importance of humans being in charge of their technology, and not the other way around.
• Evan explains why it’s critical to know what you want. Then, you can make the technology work for you.
• Dan shares his experience of using Joe Stolte's Daily.ai newsletter platform and how it leads to significant increases in open rates and engagement.
• Dan makes a distinction between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom.
• There are four freedoms of being an entrepreneur—time, money, relationships, and purpose—and technologies like AI can help or hinder that freedom.
• They discuss the shift from manual labor to knowledge work. Working with AI now presents people with an even bigger “conceptual chasm.”
• Some people have an almost religious view of technology that can veer into misanthropy—resenting the realities of relating to other human beings.
• Evan describes the freedom of the “digital nomad” lifestyle that he enjoys because of technology.
• There are technological “demarcation lines” that Evan won’t cross.
• Dan: “Humanity is always infinitely bigger than anything that humanity creates.”
