Speaker 1:

Hello and welcome to the Diarobie Health Show. It's been a while, and the reason it's been a while I've got a big announcement I'm going to make today. I haven't been idle, I have not been recording episodes on this show, but the reason for that is I've been through a huge personal transformation and the world is going through a transformation at the moment Now. First of all, I started this podcast 281 episodes ago, years ago and since then, podcasting has become much more popular and there's some really good podcasts. You obviously listen to podcasts. I listen to podcasts. I am a certified nutrition coach who's passionate about nutrition, exercise supplements, you name it. I'm interested, I want to know more, but the fact is I've been passed up. There are some really good shows better than the Dairobi Health Show. I hate to say it, but the fact is it's true. They've got resources, they've got studios, they can bring high-level guests in. I've had some phenomenal guests and I'm grateful for every single one of them, but the fact is that there's now celebrities in the space and it's become cram-packed and not only cram-packacked but good, good quality. There's some great health shows out there and the Dairobi Health Show became just another one, and I appreciate you listening and those of you who have hung in with me and enjoyed the show and the comments I've gotten and the reviews. It's been really fantastic. But meantime, really fantastic. But meantime, as the space has gotten crowded, an entire new segment has emerged and that is the arena of AI. I believe will revolutionize health and fitness as much as it revolutionizes law and programming and graphic design and music and everything else it touches.

Speaker 1:

And for me I'm a huge fan of technology. I always want to be ahead of technology. I don't want to be left behind. I'm not one of these people that's fearful, although of course, anything can happen. Look, a meteor can hit the earth tomorrow and the whole thing is over. We don't know. Of course there's risks. There's risks with AI. The first risk that could wipe out humanity came in the 1940s in the form of atomic power, and we've lived under that, with at least two countries who can destroy the entire world for almost 100 years. And could atomic energy still destroy the world? It could, absolutely. It has the power to. Could AI destroy the world? It could too.

Speaker 1:

But guess what? I got a secret. I've watched the movies and in the movies, the people who survive the AI apocalypse are fit. It's the buff people Think of Terminator. Sarah Connor could do pull-ups right.

Speaker 1:

So guess what? I got this great idea. I'm going to combine AI and fitness, and we got the best of both worlds. If you use AI to improve your health, your fitness, your mental wellness, everything. If one day the machines rise up, you and me will lock arms, go out into the woods and survive. The week will be left behind. Okay, I'm joking, but you get the idea. We don't know what the future holds, but we know what the present has, and the present right now has some incredible opportunities in AI.

Speaker 1:

Let me give you a couple of thoughts here Now and let me just get to the punchline and then I'll carry on and you can stick with me if you want or not. Here's the punchline. I'm starting a new podcast. It's called the AI Fitness Podcast. I feel like it's a space that I'm really excited about, where I can thrive, where I'm not competing with a thousand really good podcasts. No one's doing an AI-focused fitness podcast at the moment, and I think that's a shame. I think there's room for it. I think that it's going to evolve. What we have in AI for fitness right now is incredible. I'll be giving you examples of how I'm using it. I'll be giving you resources. We'll be giving you PDF downloads to use as prompts. We'll be helping you to raise your level of fitness, health, exercise predictive analytics. There's so much to it. It's so exciting.

Speaker 1:

I'm starting a new podcast with Dr Rob Lyon. He has a PhD in education sociology. I'm sorry I always get it confused because he's got multiple degrees. He's got the degree that matters here is his PhD in health education. He's incredibly interested in the exact same world that I am and what he does is. He helps me with another problem of podcasting.

Speaker 1:

For those of you who've been listening for a long time, you might remember when I had a lot of guests and then I stopped having guests. Do you know why? Because it was a pain in the neck constantly working on getting new guests, setting up schedules, making sure that I figured out exactly what could be said and what can't be said, and whether they had a book to promote or a call to action, and then sometimes they didn't show up and that was a pain in the neck and I found it was really time-consuming for a small entrepreneur like myself, small being we have a small business and I've got a lot to do. I wear a lot of hats, so I started doing them on my own. But guess what? Solo episodes aren't that great. So having a guest, or at least a co-host, is fantastic, but arranging a new guest every time just sucks. It's just awful. And having a co-host, though, allows for the conversation it allows for if I misspeak, he can correct me. Vice versa, if he says something really cool, but I think maybe I don't understand that fully or maybe the audience didn't quite catch what you just said. This is the thing that co-hosts can do they can make each other better, make sure they don't misspeak. They can also help prepare for the episode. So I'm taking everything I've learned from all these episodes, combining it into what I'm really passionate about now, which is the arena of how AI is going to transform our health, wellness, even our mental health.

Speaker 1:

So let's talk about AI for just a minute. First of all. I believe that AI will transform the world in as big a way as the printing press, the industrial revolution or the digital revolution. I've done my homework on this. There's a lot of experts who agree with me. The printing press revolutionized access to knowledge by making books affordable and widely available. Ai is doing a similar thing by democratizing information, for example. There's sophisticated technologies that were once confined to experts, but ChatGPT empowers non-programmers to become programmers. I helped my daughter create a will. Normally, you had to go to an attorney to do that. The printing press allowed ordinary people to access books and knowledge, and AI takes that a step further than the internet. The internet allows us to access knowledge, but not in the way that AI does. On Google, you got to search forever and then hope your sources are good and spend all this time where AI searches the web for you, searches the best possible sites and, yes, it can make mistakes and this is the worst AI will ever have, because it's getting better and better, but overall, it's already better than one person and Google.

Speaker 1:

Economic shifts from AI will be huge, and I don't take these lightly. Some people will lose their jobs, but just like manual labor was replaced by machines transforming industries like textiles, transportation, ai, through automation, is expected to reshape industries such as finance, healthcare as we're talking about and manufacturing, and it will significantly alter labor markets. This will be tough, I get it, but ideally the job displacement will be balanced by the creation of new roles. There are already AI, engineers, data scientists, and this is analogous to how the industrial revolution displaced artisanal jobs but created factory-based employment. Now, that may not be the best example, because most people don't want to work in a factory, although it's much better than it used to be, but at least they weren't starving, right. It was a step up in some ways. A lot of artisans were hungry people right, where at least factory-produced jobs were more stable and, over time, got better. Okay, ai's role in the fourth industrial revolution.

Speaker 1:

Many view AI as a key driver of what is already being called the fourth industrial revolution. Just like the revolutions fueled by steam, electricity and the internet, ai will transform how we produce goods, how we produce services, how we automate complex tasks, and will boost up innovation and productivity in every sector. All of this is backed up by the rapid adoption of AI, which is blowing everybody away. Did you know? Chat GPT hit 100 million users in two months. That's a record pace of adoption for anything, ever, anywhere. This mirrors how past revolutions, like the internet, like the car replacing horse-drawn buggies, have transformed society. So AI is going to transform everything and I want to be there. I want to be there in the arena where it's transforming health, the AI Fitness Podcast.

Speaker 1:

Depending on when you listen to this, the website might already be up where you can go and figure out where you can listen to it AIfitnesspodcastai. There's actually a placeholder there and we're quickly putting it all together. So if you listen to this podcast very quickly, you might arrive and go wow, this looks wrong because that's the state that it's in right now, but we're recording episodes one through three, possibly through five tomorrow and the day after, put them all up online next week. And I still love the DiRuby Health Show. I'm still leaving it up. There's still a lot of users on a monthly basis, which I really appreciate, and there'll be times I just will have something to say that just makes the most sense for the DiRub, something really important. So if you want to stay subscribed, that would be great, and I will still leave the show up and continue to add in topics that I believe are really specific to my Dairobi customers, to the Dairobi Health Show generally and where I just want to pull out the microphone and share something and not to get together with Dr Rob ona.

Speaker 1:

More highly prepared AI-focused show. In the first five episodes we'll be covering a lot of really useful, tangible information and ways you can put AI to work right away. We're both using it to develop fitness plans, meal prepping, improve our workouts, our recovery. I've deleted apps. I use ChatGPT I feel like on a pretty high level compared to most people and I'm going to share that with you.

Speaker 1:

At the same time, I feel like a child with a new toy just learning all this stuff, and so I'll be learning it with you.

Speaker 1:

As a matter of fact, if you have ideas, if there's things about AI you'd love to learn about, please send them to me. Dave at dyrobicom, send me the information and any ideas that you have for the show, and I would love to hear them. I think you'll love Dr Rob. He is an enthusiastic guy who's a geek, just like I am in all this stuff. He's an amateur athlete, really engaged in athletics and nutrition, and an expert in his field, and I think the two of us will make a great pair and it will be a really fun episode. So again, thanks for listening, for all this time and for putting up with this long break while I've been going through such a big transformation, and I'm just excited to get back at it in a different way in which I feel like I can actually contribute again in a field that's not so crowded, that is emerging, that's exciting, that's got a ton to offer to people who are interested in it, and I hope you enjoy it as well With that. This is Dave Sherwin, wishing you health and success.
