This past Monday I debuted a new topic by Zoom; A Rave Legends Guide to How to Be More Human in an AI World.
The entire project went from a spark of an idea to delivered presentation at light speed, which is a telling factor. I was curious so I looked up the original message from my friend Rita that created the cascade. It was dated January 24th.
However, more important than the link was her answer to my follow up question: Why did she send this to me?
Only then did she speak about how she saw me as a valued voice on a stage like the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Which sparked this thought in me: If that’s true, what would my value be? Within 24 hours I had the title and an outline of what I would talk about, and more importantly, me answer the question of why I’m qualified to give this talk.
I gave myself 2 weeks to promote it to my private community, the same talk I would have given in Davos. I acted “as if”. I also didn’t want to wait for a future large stage. I wanted to seize my energy. This is important.
So I went from idea to execution in just over 2 weeks, this past Monday.
I’ve already gotten some very thoughtful response emails from the people that saw it live, and now it can have another life as a capture of a moment:
My FEELINGS of having hosted this: Pride in myself, inspiration, and touched from the feedback I’ve received (these are the “things” that doing a talk on AI got me to). What feelings will it generate in you?
Who knows where this will go next. It will be exciting to find out.
PS: I also “failed”, by running out of time and being unable to showcase my custom made AI (The Wow Machine), but now will give it it’s own dedicated showcase in coming weeks.
PPS: I would love to hear your biggest take-aways!
