How Sean Weisbrot Uses AI to Turn Conversations Into LinkedIn Content

Meet Sean Weisbrot, entrepreneur, podcast host, and the founder of SparkVox, an AI-powered platform designed to turn business conversations into authentic LinkedIn content.

After living and building businesses across China, Vietnam, and now Portugal, Sean has spent the last 15 years as an entrepreneur while interviewing hundreds of founders through his podcast, We Live to Build. In this conversation, he shares how psychology, curiosity, international experience, and relationship building shaped the way he approaches business, networking, and AI.

We explore why Sean believes networking is often misunderstood, why genuine curiosity creates stronger relationships than transactional conversations, and how traveling and immersing yourself in different cultures can fundamentally change the way you think. He also shares lessons from raising capital, building companies, learning from mentors, and shutting down a startup after investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into it.

Sean also explains how podcasting became more than just content creation. For him, it became a way to learn from experienced founders, build meaningful relationships, and create opportunities that extended far beyond audience growth. He shares why many business podcasts should focus less on views and more on building valuable connections with guests.

The conversation also dives into artificial intelligence and why Sean believes every modern business needs an AI-first mindset. Rather than fearing AI, he argues that entrepreneurs should use it to increase leverage while protecting the one thing technology cannot easily replace: authentic human relationships.

Finally, Sean walks through SparkVox, the platform he created to help founders and business owners transform sales calls, meetings, podcast appearances, and other transcripts into LinkedIn content that sounds like them instead of generic AI-generated writing. He explains the problem the software solves, who it's built for, and how using it has already led to podcast invitations, new business conversations, and partnership opportunities.

Whether you're building a startup, hosting a podcast, growing your personal brand, exploring AI, or simply looking to build stronger professional relationships, this conversation offers practical lessons on networking with intention, creating opportunities through curiosity, and solving problems that matter.

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Today we're joined by Sean Weisbratt, entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Spark Fox. We talked about building powerful networks, launching AI products, and why relationships will always be code outreach. Let's get into it. Thank you so much for joining us today, Sean. And for people discovering you for the first time, who are you? What have you been up to lately?

SPEAKER_01 0:22

So my name is Sean Weisbrot. I'm an American entrepreneur based in Portugal. I've been here for four years. Before that, I was in China for 10 years in Vietnam for five years. I'm fluent in Mandarin and I can read it as well. And I've been an entrepreneur for about 15 years. And right now, I recently launched a product called SparkVox, which helps business owners to take their transcripts from their sales calls or podcast guest appearances, what have you, and turn it into content that will help them be visible on LinkedIn because if they're not visible on LinkedIn, then their competitors are going to take their deals by being visible. And on top of that, I have my own podcast I've been doing for six years. I have 320 interviews under my belt with business owners ranging between seven and nine figures a year in revenue. And I've learned a tremendous amount from doing that. And I've always been very uh tech forward with the podcast. And so uh for the last two years, I've been heavily focused on how AI has been implemented by these founders, how AI is impacting their industry and their services and their operations and whatnot. And more recently focused on a gen tech work from these founders.

SPEAKER_00 1:30

What is so interesting about you is that looking at your career, you've advised founders, you've raised capital, invested, hosted hundreds of interviews, built across different markets, and now you're building AI products. So, how did all of those pieces come together for you?

SPEAKER_01 1:45

I think the most important thing that I've learned in my life is psychology. My degree is in psychology. And I didn't just learn psychology from a book, I applied it in my life. And since university, which was nearly 20 years ago, I just turned 40 a few days ago, if you'd believe it. I have been to 60 countries and I've lived in four. And whenever I travel, I go at least for three or four weeks to that country. And so I've been actively applying what I've learned of psychology around the world and talking to people from different languages, different cultures, different religions. And it's from this practice of being curious about the world and communicating with people and learning from them that I'm able to grow. And I think if I didn't have such an open mind, if I wasn't so curious and I wasn't so uh willing to talk to strangers, that there's so much I would have missed out on learning. And I think that would have severely hindered my ability to grow as a person. And so the one thing I suggest very strongly for everyone to do is leave your damn country and go travel and be curious.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

That's actually the best advice ever, and that's one that I always aim to take myself. So I completely agree with you. But if you were to look at your life, what role do you feel is the most central to your identity when it comes to your work? From out of all the roles that you've taken in your career, like building AI products and hosting podcasts, what is one thing that you feel like it's your identity?

SPEAKER_01 3:19

My first job out of university, I was a teacher in China. And I think the thread that binds all of the identities that I've assimilated is that of an educator. Interesting.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

And you often say that your network is also very valuable. I would say it's your most valuable asset, right? Why do you believe that so strongly?

SPEAKER_01 3:39

Because if I didn't have that curiosity and I didn't have that drive and that travel experience and that ambition, I wouldn't have been able to make friends with people who I was able to help to raise funds for or who became investors in my business, or who I invested in, or who I partnered with. Literally, the first tech company I started, the very first person I hired was a technical guy from the Philippines who was a friend of mine. I met in a telegram travel group, like a digital nomads group. We were friends for years in that group before I started the company, and then I was like, I think I need to hire this guy. He's the right person. I didn't know what I was doing.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

I think one thing that a lot of people misunderstand about networking is that everyone thinks about networking as uh just a transactional thing, but it's not really like that, right? So, where do you think people should come from when it comes to networking?

SPEAKER_01 4:34

Well, it it's curiosity, right? If you go to yes, I I think networking is the wrong term. Everybody wants to make friends, everybody has this need to be social, and everybody loves to talk about themselves. So if you are curious about the world and you like other people and you like to talk, or even if you don't like to talk, if you just like to listen, then you can just ask people questions about themselves. And even if you don't say a word, they're gonna love you. But the reality is people want friends, and so you're gonna have to talk back at some point. And so if you're not an interesting person back, if you don't have life experiences to speak from, it doesn't matter how interesting you are, it doesn't matter what questions you ask them, they're not gonna want to know you if you don't bring something back to them, even if it's just, oh yeah, I saw this thing. For example, I was uh talking to a guy on LinkedIn recently who I had interviewed a few years ago. We hadn't had any contact in several years. And I figured it'd be nice to reach out to people because some people I haven't interviewed in five years or six years. So, like, hey, look, how are you doing? Right. This guy said, Oh, you know, things actually they weren't really good for some time. Like I had a divorce and this and that. But like I'm starting a new business now after losing basically everything. And I heard about what business he was doing, and I started to share with him some of the businesses that I knew that were his competitors. I know the founders of all of them. I've interviewed them, and I started sharing him some of them to see, like, hey, this is what your competitors are doing, just giving you some ideas. And he's like, Hey, I'd love to get on a call and catch up, right? He suggested we get on a call to catch up rather than just text because I was providing value to him because I wanted him to succeed.

SPEAKER_00 6:05

It's so interesting because um what hearing you talk about this is I've I've started doing podcasts, let's say like three or four months ago. So it's something completely new to me. I was doing YouTube videos, but that was completely different. When it comes to podcasts, I always think about how do I make it not transactional? How do I show the guests that I actually value them, that I value their time here, and that I, you know, I want to build a connection long term with those people? And I do feel like when I look even in the comments that I get, a lot of people are one, they're they don't know how to get guests, they don't know how to put themselves out there to book guests, and two, they're scared of not knowing how to deal with guests or how to keep that relationship. So why do you think that happens? Why do you think people are so scared of building a relationship that is intentional, that is out of curiosity instead of just transactional?

SPEAKER_01 6:59

When I started my podcast, I had started my tech company two years prior. And I started the podcast because I wanted to build a waiting list for the product that we had been building. And I knew that I needed to go to business owners that were grossing millions of dollars or tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars a year because they would have dozens or hundreds of employees that we could onboard. I also knew that I wanted to learn from them because a lot of them were tech people and I had never done a tech business before. So I literally didn't, I was like learning as I went. I had previously had a consulting business and I made a lot of money from that, but I never made money from tech. So it was a completely different mindset to be in for me. And so the podcast was simultaneously therapy because it was during COVID and I was in Vietnam, so I was very cut off from a lot of the rest of the world. Like curiosity about learning how to be a business owner in a different way, in a different type of industry, because it was very foreign to everything that I knew and how I knew to make money. You would think, oh, maybe he's scared, you know, to talk to these like big guys, whatever. But like I didn't see them as any different for me because I had already had success. I had already had a business that did $15 million in sales.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Like I know how to talk to people, I know how to do these things. I'm not scared of that. I'm confident in myself, I'm confident in my knowledge, I'm confident in my experience. These business owners are just like everybody else. They need friendship, they need social aspects of their life. So why would I be afraid of like having a relationship with them when that's what they're doing this for? That's what they want. If they didn't want it, they wouldn't do it. Now they're hoping that they have a good experience. And so I always will do an intro call with my guests. So I'll do an intro call, and on the intro call, I'll decide if I want to interview them or not. But generally, I'll get their bio, and from the bio, I instantly know if I want to interview them. The intro call is a formality, but it's not even a formality because it's just a friendly chat. And I do this because I realize, sorry, cut you off. I do this because I realized in the very beginning when I didn't do intro calls, I had one or two really bad interviews and I said, I'm never gonna do that again. It's worth it for me to have an extra 30 minutes of my time put into these calls with people because it's also building a relationship by having multiple touch points. So, for example, we're doing this interview now. We didn't do an intro call, and we have one touch point, right? But if you do an intro call and then like a week or two or three weeks later, there's an interview, you now have a second touch point. And so there's more familiarity. And so I use the intro call as a way to get to know the person and I remember the details of our conversation so that when we go to do the interview, I let my curiosity run the interview using information about them that I learned on the intro call, using information I know about their industry. And then the curiosity wants to fill in the gaps. And I allow the curiosity to run the intro, uh, to run the interview.

SPEAKER_00 9:59

And it's so interesting because I was talking to another guest yesterday, Gabrielle Dolan, who is an amazing guest and she's an amazing storyteller. And she was talking to me about how you know we live off of storytelling, we communicate with storytelling. We especially if you're creating content online, it's all about being memorable to other people. To you, is there any strategy when it comes to those calls or during um the interviews itself or in meetings that you is there any strategy that you use to be memorable after a first conversation?

SPEAKER_01 10:34

I just be myself. If not myself, then I'm gonna be memorable because how do people forget? Like, how many people do you meet that have my story that I've lived in a number of countries that like didn't mention this, but the consulting business I did, it was in Chinese. My clients were mostly Chinese who couldn't speak English. Yeah, so I did a business that made millions and millions of dollars in a foreign language.

SPEAKER_00 11:00

That's very impressive, actually.

SPEAKER_01 11:02

Like, yeah, so I think that's memorable, right? So when people hear that just when people hear that I'm living in Lisbon, right? When I do an intro call with someone and they're like, You're in Lisbon? What? Like a lot of the people I talk to are from the US. So they hear that I'm living in in Europe and they're like, oh wow, like I've been there before, it's beautiful, or oh, I've always wanted to go, it sounds great, or you know, like that's awesome that you're there. Like I go somewhere else, you know, I go to different places, right? So when people see that I live outside the US, there's this instant recognition that I'm a different kind of person than they're used to talking to because I choose to not live in the place that I was born.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

Is there any habit of like a relationship-building habit that people should stop doing when you know trying to be memorable? Because as you're saying, you're telling your story. So storytelling is the most important thing, and we're seeing that people are craving that. Like I said, people want friends, people, especially now with social media, people are lonely, people are on their phones every single day. As a content creator, for example, you always have to keep it in mind that you need to keep creating content that is relatable, that people feel like they can connect to you, that they have access to you. So, what is one thing that people should not do in order to let's say someone comes up to you and they're like, I want to create content, I want to host a podcast like you're doing, but I want to be relatable and not that appeal to that mainstream type of YouTube videos.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

I think it depends on what they're trying to do. Like, not everybody needs to have a podcast, and not everybody needs to have a podcast that is meant to be mainstream. If you're trying to run a business and your podcast is meant to build your sales pipeline, who cares how many people see the video? What matters is that your guests want to work with you, right? A lot of the people that I interview, they end up working with me, right? They're giving me advice on my software, they're using my software, they're introducing me to people in their network who want to use my software, right? My guests are my pipeline. So I don't care if I have a hundred views or a million views. My audience doesn't matter because they're not the people I'm selling to. Now, sure, of course I like to have people view things, but what matters is the guests, not the audience to me. Now, I go on and be a guest on other people's podcasts because their audience is important to me. True. Right? Because your audience may become my pipeline.

SPEAKER_00 13:30

That's true.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

Right. And so by being here and providing value to them, they may think me as being memorable. They may hear about what I'm doing and might go, wow, that's interesting. I want to check it out. Right? That's the hope of any guest, is that you're providing value in a way that makes the audience want to know more about you. So being a podcast host is horrible for the host because you're promoting other people. Yeah. Right? No, that's why people do talking head content. Because the talking head content tells the audience, I'm an expert in something you should buy from me. Being a podcast host says, I'm an expert, listen to me. Being a host doesn't help you in any way, which is why your podcast has to be your guests are your pipeline. Or you have millions of viewers and sponsors are paying you money, or you're selling something to the audience somehow. But like the vast majority of podcasts have sponsors, not something they sell to the audience.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

Whenever I'm interviewing someone, I there's a lot of things that I would like to talk more about. If it was a talking head video, I would be making a video about just one question that I'm asking, and I would be able to articulate about it. But I have in a way to be neutral and give the stage to someone else. And I think that's you know, also key to a podcast. You have to make sure that the conversation is both it's not only one-sided, but at the same time, you're letting the gas shine instead of you, and that's one of the challenges. So, is there anything that after you started hosting a podcast that changed a little bit about the way that you build relationships?

SPEAKER_01 15:00

No, I think I was always like this. I I think I think what hosting a podcast did for me was made me a better listener, it made me more patient, but it didn't change how I built relationships because I've been doing this for 20 years, right? Living living China taught me how to build relationships.

SPEAKER_00 15:22

In what sense can you tell me a little bit more about it? If you're a creator or a business owner trying to stay consistent online, editing can easily become a full-time job.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

Well, the way that Chinese people operate is hyper social, right? Several generations of Chinese people were prevented from pursuing economic freedom, right? Because of the way that the government operated. Yes. In the last 20-ish years, they gained the freedom to pursue wealth, although they still don't have uh political freedom. Which I don't I'm not here to say what systems are right or wrong, having lived in both sides. Actually, yeah, I've lived in what people will consider a communist state, I've lived in a socialist state, and I've lived in a capitalistic state, and it's really funny the differences between all of them. Anyways, Chinese are better hustlers than Americans. They have more ambition, they have more energy, they have more focus, they have more drive than than any American I've met. And it's because they are able to pursue something that they were previously unable to pursue, where Americans were always pushed to pursue it. And so the Chinese want to make it happen because who knows if one day that won't be allowed anymore. It's that fear of losing something that you have access to that drives them. And it's because of that drive that every action or every interaction has the potential to become something that's related to money. But differently from North American culture, specifically United States culture, because I can't speak for the other countries, they in China don't want to do business with you until they get to know you as a person. Where in the US, they want to do business with you the first time they meet you. Or if they think there's a fit, like they'll be like, oh yeah, let's do, let's do something together. Yeah. Where the Chinese people want to know you as a person, sometimes that takes months or years before they're willing to do business with you. But they are constantly assessing the people they meet for fit. And they put their energy into the people that they think there's a fit. And they use those experiences to tell them if they are right or wrong. And if there's an if there's interest, if there's opportunity.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

Is there any specific person that you've met throughout your journey in your career that completely changed the way that you think?

SPEAKER_01 18:14

Yeah, absolutely. My first mentor in China uh is a guy from Israel, and we're still really good friends now. I've known him for 11 years. And I'm no 12 years. And I met him when I was doing my very first company. It was an event company. I had 700 people attending these events live. So this is butts in seats in a physical venue in one space uh once a month. And I did that for nearly two years. And the events were completely in English, the advertising was completely in English. Everything was like you had no English very well to be able to attend, which was the only event like it, as far as I know, in the entirety of China, because most everything is done in Mandarin. And if something's done in English, usually it's because they want to teach you English. But this event said, we're not teaching you language. You need to know the language to attend. This is a high-level intellectual speech event in English, right? So we attracted some really great people. The vast majority of them were Chinese. Like 95%, 96% of them were Chinese. And we got the wind of the Chinese government. And they decided to kind of have a meeting with us after, like, we we did two or three events, and they're like, Yeah, we we need to know who this guy is. Like, who is he? What is he doing? Why is he doing it? Right. Because like foreigners don't usually take an active role in Chinese society, so it was very rare. Um, and so they had a meeting with me, and they're like, Okay, we we feel about you. We get the sense that you're being honest, of like you're trying to do something good for society, like you're not a threat to us, you're not trying to harm Chinese governments, you know, you know, trying to harm society. Like, I I've lived for years. I speak Chinese. Like, why would I do something bad? Like, why would I do something that's gonna make you want to put me in jail or kick me out of the country? That's true. I've chosen to live here, I've chosen to learn your language. Like, why would I use that for bad, right? It just doesn't make sense. Uh so they decided to support me. They put me on radio shows and TV shows, and they paid me to do private speeches, and they paid me to do private events or a private event organization. All of this was in Mandarin. They uh paid me to do some trainings for some government officials on cross-cultural communications between China and the US. I was introduced but from them to a company that does manufacturing in China. And then I did some training for some of their boards of directors, members uh who wanted to go to Brazil and other countries to open new factories. Um, same cross-cultural communications. So massive, massive opportunities uh just because I was doing this this huge event. And so this Israeli guy was one of the people attending the events, and so he decided to introduce himself, which, you know, as I was saying before, when you're the founder of something, people want to know you. And so when you're the founder of something and you're good at it, you don't need to network because people uh want to come to you. You don't have to do anything, they just come to you and opportunities arise. So him and I became friendly and he decided to mentor me because he's like, Look, I I can see that you do really good on stage, like you're really good at what you do, you're good with the government. He's like, But I I think where I'm standing that you're missing out on a massive opportunity that I don't think you even realize you see, you know, you have in front of you, and that is your network. I don't think you're using the network that's bit being built in front of you. And so I'd you know, if you're willing, I'd like to teach you how to take advantage of that. And I had no idea what I was missing. And once we started working together, it completely changed the way I saw the world. And then within two years, I had that business, that consulting business.

SPEAKER_00 21:58

I think it's also key that you knew. That you could learn something from him. You weren't there just thinking you had already achieved everything and you knew everything because it's always going to be that constant learning and we're going to be constantly evolving. And it's that metamorphosis of life. But um one thing that I want to get into and understand more, like you said, in China, uh building relationships is key to any successful deal. And I know you've helped raise millions of dollars already. Do you think in Western culture uh relationships matter more than pitch decks decks? I mean, we know that it matters more, but do you think in practice it's it has more effective late lately than just pitch desks?

SPEAKER_01 22:42

So to be fair, I I stopped fundraising for startups uh earlier this year because I was pursuing the software business.

SPEAKER_00 22:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

I think relationships are always going to be key, and I think it's the one thing AI can't take away from us. I think it's gonna try, but I think it's the one thing that it can't take away as long as we're not willing to allow it to. And don't get me wrong, I'm I use AIs all day long. I'm very in favor of using AI the right way, but I don't let it write for me. I don't let it take my voice. I I I they're always gonna be number one, and pitch decks don't matter, you know, as much as a relationship, for sure. You could have an awful deck, you could have no deck, you could have no product, and you could raise money if you have the right relationships. I've seen it happen. I literally interviewed a guy from India who raised a $4.2 million pre-seed round and he didn't even have a product yet. He had an idea, but he had the right relationships.

SPEAKER_00 23:42

And the right communication skills, right? That's key to understanding. Um also uh one thing that I want to talk about is that you've openly talked about shutting down a company after investing hundreds of thousands. Um, what did that experience change about the way that you think?

SPEAKER_01 24:00

Uh well, this was before AI. So everything cost a lot more than you thought it would, and everything took a lot more time than you thought it would. Shutting down the company was awful. I learned a tremendous amount from what I did on a day-to-day basis when I was running the company. And that informed me on how to do this software business the right way, which is very fast and very lean. But AI has enabled me to take the knowledge I gained from that business and make it so that before the AI, I had 17 people on that team full-time, and now I'm doing everything by myself. And I'm I'm far more efficient by myself with the AI than I was with the team years ago.

SPEAKER_00 24:42

What would you say to people that are scared of AI and where do you think we'll be in a few years from now? Because I always ask this question to every single guest, and it's always that there's always that contrast of people who are either really scared of AI and this can be a problem, this might hurt my business, or they're like, You have to jump on a bandwagon and work alongside with AI. Where do you sit with it?

SPEAKER_01 25:08

AI is gonna destroy everything. You're either gonna control it or you're gonna be controlled by it. And I refuse to be controlled by AI, so I'm using AI to do it whatever I can to build a business that's going to work in my favor. And I'm building a business in AI so that it can be relevant. If you're not building something in AI, then like it's already obsolete. You need to learn to use it. If if you're running a business, it has to be AI first right now. If it's not, you're you're losing faster than you think. If you're working for other people and you don't get involved with working with AI, you're gonna lose your job to someone who does, or you're gonna lose your job to an automation.

SPEAKER_00 25:49

One thing that I want to talk about before we finish things is this new tool that you're working on. How does it work again? And who do you think it's your target audience? And if you could share a little bit more about the inspiration behind it and what you were able to accomplish so far with this tool, that would be really cool.

SPEAKER_01 26:08

Yeah, so the original thesis was people need to be visible on LinkedIn. Investors are talking about founders being visible on LinkedIn, CMOs are desperate for their teams to be more visible on LinkedIn so that the whole company can get a boost. Just there's no reason why people are ignoring LinkedIn. And so when I was looking at how to be more visible on LinkedIn months ago, I realized that everybody sounded the damn same. Like everyone had the same exact voice. And I realized that they were all using probably Chat TBT because I've tested Claude and Claude doesn't sound like that. I mean, it has its problems, but it doesn't sound like this. It's better. So I realized that in order to solve the problem of people being visible but not requiring people to do more work to make that visibility happen, because that's my problem. I don't want to write. Um I'm actually really good at language and really good at writing. I just don't have time for it, but I have to do it. So I figured if I can take the my knowledge and experience and I can build something that would solve this problem for me, I'm sure that there's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of other people that have the same problem, probably millions. I decided that the input method has to be something that people are constantly creating, which is transcripts, right? If you have a sales call, if you have an internal meeting, if you have an HR call, the trainings, internal presentations, podcast guest appearance, or podcast host appearance, what have you. People are constantly creating hours and hours of transcripts every day from the work they're already doing, but they're not taking advantage of that and putting it on LinkedIn. So my tool essentially takes that inputs it into the system, curates the most important moments, turns them into several themes, so it creates a content strategy around that piece of content and then makes it so that you can very easily publish it to your personal profile or your company page. And it does it in your voice, it doesn't sound like an AI. And the more times you use it, the closer it gets to sounding like you.

Since you launched this too when you started using it yourself, were you able to see a lot of improvement in the industry? Were you able to, when you're checking your analytics on LinkedIn, for example, what what was the process like? Was it proven to be very successful?

SPEAKER_01 28:19

It varies. Some of my posts do really well, and some of my posts don't. And that's just a function of are people interested? It's also a function of what day of the week are you posting, what time of the day are you posting? There's a number of those factors that are really hard to pin down. But the concrete results are what's really important. In the last six weeks, since I started using the tool to post once a day, I've been invited onto three podcasts. You're one of them. You reached out to me on LinkedIn and you said, Hey, do you want to be on a podcast? So I've had three podcast invites. I had one person who has a substack want me to give her a quote so that she could publish her article in a week and I would be quoted and she can be backlinked to my website. That'll happen next week. And I've had two people DM me saying, Hey, I heard about this SparkFox thing. I'd love to talk about it more with you. And I booked calls with both of them from those DMs. And I've already had the calls with those two people. So this is just a very small sample of what's happened. And I published something that ended up uh pissing off a bunch of accountants by accident. And this woman on LinkedIn, who has 700,000 followers in the accounting and in financial space, reached out to me to connect with me. And I saw that she had a tool that was complimentary to mine. Her tool lets uh see like accounting people to upload their transcripts from calls with clients to get coached on how to do better in that position to become a better advisor. So I sent her a message after she requested to connect with me. And I said, Hey, by the way, my tool lets your avatar take the same content and turn it into the content that'll get them their next clients from LinkedIn. And she said, I love it. Let's talk. And we've got a call booked for next week. So she could potentially bring me hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of clients.

That's actually a great way to close in how to explain how networking works in practice. And if there's I have one question to you, which is if you were to give an advice to anyone who's thinking about coming up with an AI product right now and being where you are, what would that advice be?

SPEAKER_01 30:18

Solve a problem that you have. It has to solve your problem. If not, you don't care. If you don't care, it won't be a real business. Solve your own problem. Hopefully, you design it in a way that it solves other people's problems too.

SPEAKER_00 30:30

Awesome. That's great advice. And thank you so much for joining us. And if there's anything you'd like to promote, please do so right now. This is your moment.
