We’ve entered an age where we can turn our data into podcasts, join that podcast, turn ourselves into avatars, train avatars & agents to work on our behalf, have tech translate our visions into video, & much more all using A.I. IN THIS POST I’LL SHARE MY PERSONAL NOTEBOOK TRAINED ON MY PRIOPRIETARY MASTERCLASS that’s been turned into a ~20 min. podcast that YOU CAN INTERACT WITH (this is like virtual coaching from me — & is totally free) as well as how to make one of your own (free), how to make an avatar of yourself like the one of me in this video, how to make a video like this one with your avatar, a bonus LinkedIn tip or 2 to accompany the free interactive podcast, & also have a little fun breaking down why true experts will have job security for a fair while longer, in many cases. So first off, if you haven’t played with Notebook LM yet – it’s incredible! You can upload any files, videos, documents, both personal & public, & have it turn the compilation into a podcast that you can listen to that’s engaging, that you can actually interact with, turn into a mind map & more. Soon I presume you’ll be able to add a video avatar to make it a vlog, change number of hosts & their personas, have them generate new & unique assets, & more. Try it out for yourself at notebooklm.google.com But also anyone who’s been wanting to level up their LinkedIn profile & growth here can access the notebook I made today https://lnkd.in/d5WMNieR & listen to the ~20 min. podcast that was trained on my proprietary 3.5 hour masterclass I traditionally sell for $750 as well as start all my 1:1 coaching clients with. But what takes this to the next level by an order of magnitude is that you can go into “interactive mode” (beta) & actually become part of the podcast, & speak with the rep hosts who’ve been trained on the entire 3.5 hour video, & seem to have synthesized it quite well. It’s *almost* like working with me! (air quotes, lol) What will you make? Please share your notebooks in the comments, & if you try mine, I hope it works wonders for you! As far as this video (which admittedly isn’t that good, yet - but this was after multiple attempts) you can create your own video avatar of yourself — or use others’ — on a platform called Captions that also can edit them into videos like this one, intended for social media. But the good news for we humans who are amazing at what we do is that the tech isn’t THAT good yet - as this video demonstrates. These tools won’t replace great video producers, creatives, or top-notch coaches & advisors like myself. While I sincerely hope my notebook is incredibly valuable, if you want to see the full video that trained it, & have a 1:1 hour session with me afterwards (finished in comments below) ?? Also, the new Tech For Good came out last night about Notebook LM too: https://lnkd.in/d4YE7huV

AI is changing the music industry, and independent labels are leading the charge. Empire just partnered with Audioshake to turn its entire catalog into AI-generated stems and lyrics. This is a game changer for licensing, immersive formats, and fan engagement. Why does this matter? Stems allow music to be more flexible. Think about film and TV sync deals, Dolby Atmos mixes, and interactive music apps. With AI-powered separation, artists and labels can unlock new revenue streams without digging up old session files. Independent artists often struggle to access high-quality stems. Now, they can remix, reimagine, and license their music in ways that weren’t possible before. This is the future of music accessibility and monetization. Empire is proving that embracing AI isn’t just for major labels. Independent music is getting smarter, faster, and more innovative.
