My Way Or The AI Way

Have you always wanted to write a book, but felt overwhelmed by the process?

In this episode, I break down exactly how I wrote and published a business book in six weeks using AI, step by step. Not by letting AI “write the book for me”, but by using AI in three very specific roles that make the process faster, clearer, and far less intimidating.

I show you how to use AI as:

• A book coach – to help you plan, structure, and clarify what your book is really about

• A ghostwriter – to interview you, extract your ideas and stories, and turn them into a first draft in your own voice

• An editor – to critique, refine, and improve the writing without losing authenticity
  

This approach keeps you in control of the ideas, while AI does the heavy lifting around structure, momentum, and polish.

You will learn:

• How to plan a non-fiction book using AI as a thinking partner

• How to train AI to write in your tone of voice

• How to use AI interviews to turn spoken ideas into written chapters

• How to use one AI model to assess the work of a different one and improve it

• How to format a book for print and ebook

• How to self-publish a book on Amazon using KDP

• How to turn a book into a credibility and authority asset
  

I also share the real workflow I used, the mistakes I made, and what surprised me along the way. Writing a book no longer needs to take years, or feel like an impossible project.

If you are a founder, consultant, marketer, or business owner who has always thought “one day I’ll write a book”, this video is designed to show you a practical way to finally make that happen.

34:12 Summary and last thoughts

Wikipedia is one of the top sources used by AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews, and it still shapes what shows up when you search for a brand, a person, or a business online.

In this episode, I speak with Bill Beutler, founder of Beutler Ink and one of the world’s leading Wikipedia experts. Bill has been a volunteer editor since 2006 and runs the Notability Company, a PR firm built around Wikipedia’s strict sourcing standards.

Together, we unpack how Wikipedia actually works, how it influences AI models, and what business owners and individuals should know if they want to build a legitimate presence on the platform.

If you’ve ever wondered how Wikipedia pages get created, what “notability” really means, or why AI relies so heavily on Wikipedia… this is the episode for you.

What we cover

• How Wikipedia is edited, moderated and kept accurate

• Why Wikipedia still matters in the AI era

• How AI models use Wikipedia as a trusted training source

• What “notability” really means (and how to qualify)

• Mistakes businesses make when trying to edit or create pages

• Ethical ways to build a Wikipedia presence

• How to fix errors on your company page the right way

• Why media coverage, not marketing, determines eligibility

Even as AI changes how we search, Wikipedia remains a foundational database of trusted information used by:

• Google

• ChatGPT

• Perplexity

• Gemini

• Bing

• And countless AI-powered search tools

For businesses and personal brands, understanding how Wikipedia works is becoming a crucial part of modern reputation management.

If you are curious about AI agents and how they actually work in a real business, this is the episode to watch.

In this conversation I speak with Gabriele Sanguigno, CEO of Toothfairy AI. They have been building AI agents for six years, well before ChatGPT made the idea mainstream, and they work with businesses of all sizes who want to automate real tasks with agentic AI.

In this interview we cover what an autonomous agent is, how it differs from a chatbot, why so many AI agent projects fail, and what smart businesses are doing differently. We also talk about the mindset shift leaders need to make, the hybrid workforce, the skills required to manage agents, and the emerging opportunities for small businesses who want to go AI first.

If you are a business owner, consultant, marketer or leader who is thinking about using AI to create leverage, reduce repetitive work and scale your team without increasing headcount, this episode will give you a clear and realistic starting point.

Watch this before you build any AI agents of your own.

What you will learn

• Why most AI agents fail and how to avoid the common traps
• The difference between chatbots and true autonomous agents
• How small businesses can gain a competitive advantage by being AI first
• How multi-step agentic workflows actually work

Most businesses avoid documenting their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)… until it hurts. In this episode, I show a 10-minute AI workflow to turn a quick screen recording + commentary into a clear, agent-ready SOP. You’ll see what worked (NotebookLM) and what didn’t (my first ChatGPT upload), plus the exact prompt + guardrails I use so AI sticks to your source and doesn’t invent steps.

You’ll learn

• The fast record → transcribe → generate SOP method

• Why SOPs = strategic advantage for the 2026 AI agent wave

• My ChatGPT vs NotebookLM test (wins + fails and the workaround)

• How to write guardrails (“use only the video/transcript”) to stop AI adding steps

• Adding acceptance checks & flowcharts so someone (or an agent) can follow it

• Future-proofing: document intent + steps, and keep passwords out of SOPs
