Join Doug as he interviews Georgia Kirke, founder of Clio Books. They talk about the revolutionary world of AI-powered book writing, discussing how Clio is changing the game for aspiring authors. Georgia shares her expertise on the importance of books for building authority and thought leadership, while Doug reflects on his own authorship journey. This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs looking to share their knowledge and boost their personal brand through writing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Clio Books is an AI-powered SaaS platform that guides non-fiction authors through the book planning process, allowing them to speak their book rather than write it.
• Traditional book writing methods can be time-consuming and expensive, but Clio reduces the time by 93% and costs a tenth of traditional methods.
• Having a book establishes authority and thought leadership, opening doors to speaking engagements and industry recognition.
• Consistency in content creation, including books, blogs, and podcasts, is crucial for building a strong personal brand and sharing expertise.
• Clio doesn't replace the author's thinking or content; it streamlines the process and structure, making book creation more accessible.
• Effective book marketing strategies include creating a targeted hit list of ideal clients and strategic partners for personalised outreach.
• Trademarking key phrases or titles can add extra authority to an author's brand and make them more memorable.
• While immediate financial returns on books may not always be evident, the long-term benefits in terms of opportunities and brand building can be significant.

BEST MOMENTS

"Clio is an AI powered SaaS platform that leads non-fiction authors through the book planning process, provides the structure, gives you a talking plan, and then asks you questions, and your answers then become the book manuscript that Clio types up for you."

"Writing and books are synonymous, yes, but it’s not accurate that you have to become a writer in order to author a book."

"Books and authority go hands in hand and, and in fact, the word author comes from the original Latin word for authority."

"I know my book sort of kept me up with the Million Dollar Roundtable, MDRT, and you know I've been invited to go on a committee about membership services and so that's happened and then somebody else is talking to me about the possibility of speaking at the conference next year, which would be amazing."

"Don't write your book, speak your book. Get onto the Clio site, follow Clio, loads, loads of exciting things to come."

Doug is joined by Dr. Doreen Rivers, known as River, to talk about her groundbreaking AI-powered platform, Savantz.ai. Discover how River's innovative solution is revolutionising online education and content creation, making learning more engaging and effective. From repurposing books to transforming corporate training, River shares insights that could change the game for entrepreneurs, educators, and businesses alike. Don't miss this fascinating discussion about the future of learning and content delivery!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• River is a consultant and entrepreneur with 30 years of experience in startups, often hired to help launch new companies.
• She wrote a book called "Brain to Bank" and initially planned to create an online course based on it. River hired an AI specialist to help create her course, which led to the development of the Savantz platform. Savantz is an AI-powered platform that converts text into engaging, educational micro-videos.
• From her experience teaching at university level, River has a depth of understanding of modern learning challenges. Savant helps create content that people will actually watch and learn from, addressing short attention spans and modern learning preferences.
• Savantz can repurpose existing content like books, PowerPoint presentations, and blogs into valuable video courses and offers features like story generation to enhance educational content and improve retention.
• The platform aims to help content creators monetise their existing material more effectively than traditional book sales.
• River describes herself as more comfortable behind the camera as a producer, rather than in front of it.
• She's passionate about improving learning outcomes and adapting educational methods to suit modern learners.

BEST MOMENTS

"I realised I am not creating an online course for Brain to Bake. I am actually creating a platform that could help millions of people take the text that they already have... and turn them into micro modules, small videos that people would actually watch."

"We don't just create videos. We care that at the end of that, you've actually learned what you set out to learn."

"What if you could take that same information, and let's face it, every kid, no matter what age they are, up to 50, they have their phone in front of their face, and they're watching something on their phone. So let's meet them there."

"We are creating videos for education specifically. We are creating enhancement tools."

Doug Bennett interviews Dr. Rana Al-Falaki, a health and performance expert who shares her revolutionary approach to goal-setting. Prepare to be inspired as Rana unveils her FIRE technique, challenging the traditional SMART goals method. From visualising million-pound houses to achieving remarkable success, this episode is packed with actionable insights that will transform your approach to personal and professional goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The FIRE technique (Feeling, Integrity, Relevance, Engaging) adds depth to traditional SMART goals, engaging emotions and aligning goals with personal values.
• Visualisation and multi-sensory engagement are powerful tools for goal achievement, as demonstrated by Rana’s family experience in manifesting their dream home.
• Accountability is crucial for goal success, with studies showing you’re 40 times more likely to achieve goals when held accountable.
• Authenticity is key to personal and professional success, fostering trust and creating a foundation for accountability and goal achievement.
• The “five-second rule” can effectively combat procrastination by preventing overthinking and tapping into desire rather than fear or logic.
• Intuition plays a vital role in goal-setting and decision-making, requiring the silencing of distractions to trust your gut instinct.
• Daily rituals like acknowledging progress, celebrating wins, and practicing gratitude in free-form writing can enhance goal attainment.
• The “wantaholic syndrome” often leads to short-term fixes; instead, focus on sustainable, remarkable shifts that align with your true self for long-term fulfilment.

BEST MOMENTS

“Only 9 percent of people who even set their goals do end up carrying on. The good news is if they do, then the chances are they will succeed massively in life.”

“I put the SMART goals in the BIN. Because the reality is if you want to achieve remarkable goals, which actually everybody deserves to do, why are we just, you know, sticking for the average?”

“If you’re confident in who you are, that’s okay. And societal norms as well that we’re battling against very often. And I think that’s easing back quite a, quite a lot.”

“Everything we’ve been talking about is about how to tap into energetic states that allow you to move forward.”

“We’re human beings, not human doings. We don’t just do a relationship. We don’t just do a career. We just don’t just do health. Actually, you can have goals in everything.”

Whether you're a crypto sceptic or enthusiast, this episode promises to expand your understanding and maybe even inspire you to take a closer look into crypto and digital currencies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, solves real-world problems in countries with unstable economies by providing a digital alternative to devalued fiat currencies.
• The crypto market operates in cycles, with bear and bull runs occurring approximately every four years, offering potential investment opportunities.
• Daniel's "bull run investing" method focuses on accumulating solid crypto projects during bear markets and selling during bull runs for profit.
• Crypto education is crucial for safe and successful investing, with Daniel emphasising the importance of understanding the technology and market dynamics.
• Decentralisation is a key benefit of cryptocurrency, preventing government or institutional control over personal assets.
• The upcoming bull run is predicted to be significant due to increasing mass adoption and institutional involvement in crypto.
• Daniel advocates for a simplified approach to crypto investing, suitable for busy professionals who can manage their investments in just 10 minutes a day.
• The crypto industry offers potential returns that may exceed traditional investment methods, but education and careful strategy are essential.

"I do see why crypto has inherent value. I do understand there's a finite amount of Bitcoin, just like there is gold on the face of the earth."

"I love people. I love teaching. I love sharing what I learned. It's always been in me."

"I decline people from my program that I don't want in the program. I do not want it. There's no amount of money on the face of the earth to be worth the headache of dealing with the wrong people."

Doug Bennett interviews integrative healing practitioner Sandie Gascon. Sandie shares her inspiring journey of overcoming chronic illness through natural healing methods. She emphasizes the importance of reducing toxins, eating real food, and supporting the body's systems for optimal health, energy and productivity. Sandie also discusses her ambitious goals, including giving a TEDx talk, and provides valuable tips for setting achievable goals

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Reducing toxins in your environment, food, and products is a key first step to supporting your health naturally
• Start making dietary changes gradually, one meal at a time, focusing on real, unprocessed foods
• Sandie offers an affordable Level 1 course teaching how to heal yourself naturally using functional medicine labs
• Healing your body enables you to have the energy, focus and motivation to pursue your goals and passions

BEST MOMENTS

"People are out there doing it. You just have to start working on it. And I recommend people make one, one change at a time."

"The real key with the goal is the motivation to start taking action. And then when you take action, even if you're failing or you're not doing it, what, what you wanted to happen, you're still moving forward."

"Instead, focus on the fact that that goal, I know, right? That goal drove you to make those changes and now you have tools."

"When you fail, that's teaching you something, it's teaching you what not to do next. And that's equally, equally valuable."

"Your body is the most important bank account that you have. It really is a bank account and you need to stop making withdrawals, lowering your toxin burden, lowering your stress burden."

Doug interviews Chris Dillon, the automation expert who shares his secrets to success. Chris reveals how setting clear goals and implementing clever automation strategies can transform your business and personal life. Discover the power of creating "Mickey Boat moments" for your loved ones and learn how to achieve your dreams while enjoying the journey.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Automation removes regular tasks and sets clear expectations with prospects, nurturing them through the sales process without removing the human touch.
• Setting specific, measurable goals with a deadline helps break down the steps needed to achieve them and removes the pressure of daily targets.
• AI will fundamentally change many aspects of work, but it's an opportunity to utilise it to make life easier rather than a threat to jobs.
• Creating meaningful experiences and memories for loved ones, or "Mickey Boat moments," is a powerful motivator for achieving business success.
• Passion for what you do is essential for overcoming the challenges of running a business and staying motivated.
• Understanding that prospects have lives outside of your business and making it easy for them to engage with you is crucial for converting leads.
• Small, consistent improvements (the "1% task") can lead to significant changes over time, so focus on long-term progress rather than short-term gains.
• Don't bring people into your life who don't align with your core values, even if they offer financial benefits.

BEST MOMENTS

"I class [automation] as two different things. One is the removal of regular tasks... and secondly, it's the act of using good automation to set really clear expectations with prospects and not removing the human from the process."

"My fundamental purpose is bringing those moments, more moments to myself, more moments to my loved ones, and more moments to the good people that I surround myself with. That's what drives me."

"People massively underestimate what they can do in five years and massively overestimate what they can do in one."

"If you're setting a goal for the sake of setting a goal... if you don't have a passion for what is going to get you to that goal, then you'll never get there because there's so much about running a business that isn't easy."

"Too many business owners think, right, they're not getting back to me. They're not picking up the phone. They must not be interested. It's like, no, they just have a life. And they don't care about your phone call more than their life."

"We have to make sure we, we oversupply on abundance and positivity because that little bit, that little nugget of negativity. It causes havoc, it disrupts your day in a massive action."
