This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips.
Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life.
Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in Adobe Firefly, the all-in-one creative AI studio.
Just describe what you want to create and the assistant handles the rest,
orchestrating multi-step workflows across Photoshop, Premiere Express, and more in one conversational interface.
You direct the outcome.
The assistant accelerates execution.
If we use AI to write, are we losing our authenticity?
Should we be using it everywhere?
That's one of the things that we're going to be talking about today on everyday AI.
This is your daily live stream podcast, free newsletter, everything, just to help everyday people,
people like you and me, to keep up with AI because there's so much going on.
So make sure, if you're hearing this on the podcast, please join us live because we bring a guest on almost every weekday, 7.30 a.m. Central Standard Time. So make sure to come join the conversation. So before we have a conversation today, which I'm extremely excited about to talk about AI and LinkedIn, let's actually talk about what's going on in the world of AI news. There's a lot. So I'm going to go a little faster today. So quick hitters, here we go. Google announced a new AI app called, Nope.
So it is an AI-powered note-taking assistant.
So this is going to be interesting to check out.
I don't know if it's going to be kind of a replacement for Google Docs or if it's going
to be competing with Notion.
So we'll kind of see and we'll be previewing that in the newsletter as well.
So make sure to check it out.
Probably the loudest AI news at the last couple of hours is Elon Musk has officially
unveiled his new company, XAI.
So obviously Elon Musk is the former co-founder and board member.
of Open AI, tried kind of a little bit of taking it over, didn't work out.
So he has started XAI.
So a lot of eyes on what Elon's going to be doing at XAI after, you know, taking over
Twitter.
But he's already catching a lot of heat for the early formation of this company, mainly because
it is all male staff.
So, yeah, catching a lot of heat.
So make sure to stay tuned because we'll be sharing about that a lot in the newsletter.
Two other quick things before we bring on our guests.
just an overview on meta.
So meta, behind the scenes,
I don't think a lot of people are paying attention
to what they're doing with all of their different AI models,
but they did just kind of release Word
that they are going to be soon releasing commercial versions
to rival Open AIs, Chat 2BTTPT,
to open Google to kind of go against Google Bard, Microsoft,
all these other big companies.
So meta, Facebook, Instagram, you know, threads,
you know, so they're going to be rolling that out pretty soon. Last but not least, we have some
news from China, some AI regulation. But I think it's something that the U.S. could actually
benefit from, you know, as here in the U.S., we're talking about how do we govern AI, but China
just released kind of its first AI governance, you know, something we actually talked about
on the show yesterday. But essentially, generative AI services will need to obtain a license
with the country's government in order to operate.
So is that going to be the future of regulation,
or is that just going to be one other step of a country wanting to get its share?
I'm not sure, but it's going to be exciting to see how that plays out.
So we already have some comments coming in.
Very excited for all of you to join us.
And I'm very excited to bring our guests in.
So let's talk LinkedIn and AI with Joshua B. Lee,
the founder of Standout Authority.
Joshua, thank you for joining us.
Jordan, good to be here, man.
I'm just sitting here.
I'm writing notes of what you were just going over to because I'm like 100% get it.
You know, you and I talked about Elon before.
You know, you're talking about what Google's with notes.
I'm like, Evernote just went down.
And then you're going China.
I'm like, oh, yeah, you know, most of it didn't pay attention to the Vatican actually releasing a whole AI standards, right?
Yeah, a couple weeks ago.
So it's just I'm loving it already.
I'm already excited for the conversation.
We even got to the LinkedIn site.
So, oh, Joshua, so much.
Like, all the big names have come out the last week, right?
So we talked about, you know, meta going commercial.
Yesterday, Anthropic released Cloud 2, which is supposed to be the biggest and best
competitor in Open AI.
So much going on.
But let's actually turn to LinkedIn.
You know, one of those social media platforms, I always joke.
It's like, I'm not on social media except LinkedIn.
But, I mean, just tell us, how have you used LinkedIn?
not even talking about AI, but you've been working with big brands for many years.
How have you used LinkedIn to kind of grow your business and to grow your reach?
Yeah, man, Jordan, look, here's the whole thing.
I think most people continue to be able to sleep on LinkedIn.
They forget that it's one of the longest running social media platforms out there.
They just hit 20 years, right?
So they've been around.
They stood this test of time.
So there's massive opportunity, but it's shifted, right?
It used to be the platform.
You used to go to find a job, post a resume.
You know, it's a B2B platform.
But I think most people forget about, and this is why we leverage it so much, it's not B2B or B2C, business business or business consumer, right?
That's just ways to diversify ad spend.
I mentioned before when my first clients is MySpace.
So I've been in this space for a long time watching these things kind of go around.
But the biggest thing is everything's H-D-H, human-to-human, because every company is run by another human being.
Most marketers forget that.
And so that's why LinkedIn's so powerful.
you have a massive platform of human beings that are well educated,
have a higher income than most other social platforms,
and four to five people on that platform are business decision makers.
So that's why the opportunity is when you're going in there to be able to not only connect
with the right people for your products or services,
but at the same time, where they're going and what they're doing with AI,
I mean, Microsoft owns, if people are listening right now,
if you don't realize that Microsoft owns LinkedIn,
them and Microsoft invested $13 billion in Open AI, dude, where they're going is insane.
And so that's where we started really kind of going through there and going, how do we not sell
people?
That's what the biggest thing with most of you all LinkedIn.
They go in, they go, dude, I get pitched every day.
They're like, oh, hey, Jordan, you wear a shirt, me too.
Let's connect.
And then two seconds later, two seconds later, you get pitched.
And it's like, no, shift that.
People don't want to go in and be sold anymore, right?
I mean, I'm not sure if they ever wanted to be sold.
You want to educate, inspire, and drawing your audience and have them choose to work with you.
And now more than ever with what they're doing with AI, man, there's so much, so much opportunity
for all of us to be able to leverage it as human beings and stand out better than ever.
Yeah. Joshua, it's funny. You know, you talk about just how little effort a lot of people
sometimes put on LinkedIn, right? Like, hey, you and I both wear shirts, now buying my stuff.
Maybe AI will help that. But I think just AI in general. And actually, before,
Before I shift here, I want to throw up some comments because we already got people tuning in.
So thank you, Val, saying, good morning. Nancy, keeping up. Thank you. A lot of people, Dr. Ross,
Jero, thank you guys for joining us. If you have a question for Joshua on how to use AI and LinkedIn,
please drop it. But let's quickly talk because I think it's a big issue, I think, about AI and LinkedIn.
because so many people say, hey, as soon as you use AI, you are losing the authenticity.
Right.
What's your take on that?
Here's the whole piece, right?
I think the biggest thing is if you're copying and pasting, yes, you're losing authenticity.
That's 100% doesn't matter if it's on LinkedIn or any platform what you're actually going through to be able to do.
AI is a resource of the tool.
It's not a replacement.
And this is the biggest thing that most people need to understand.
If you're going through to be able to have it write your copy, AI doesn't have emotion.
right as human beings we make decisions based on emotion and i'm sorry man like people go in like
oh i don't i don't make decisions emotionally no we all make decisions based on some degree of love or hate
we do not make decisions based on being indifferent and right now with AI i mean it was before jordan
i mean like content wasn't king anymore right like we've all been like on a friday night and we're like
dude there's nothing to watch on netflix man there's there's no there's too much to watch because
there's too many shows to be able to go through. So content's not king anymore. Quality is
queen because that's what we're going to see right now more than ever on these platforms is
the people that are leveraging it the right way to be able to use it as a tool as a resource to do
to be able to help them design the content, but that also put their personal touch in there,
those are the ones that are going to really stand out and we're going to start really
drawing in that audience better than ever. And I think that's probably where a lot of people
struggle, right? Because they think of, they do think of AI as a blanket tool, right? Let me put some
AI on this. But Josh, you brought up a great point. You still need the personal touch.
So how can you, you know, given your experience, how would you recommend that people can
properly tiptoe that line between using these great tools that these companies are offering,
but still giving that personal touch? How do people accomplish that?
Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its
creative suite into one conversational experience.
Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the all-in-one creative AI studio.
Powered by Adobe's Creative Agent, Firefly AI Assistant lets you start with your vision, just describe
what you want, and shape the outcome as it takes form with the Assistant.
The Assistant orchestrates multi-step workflows, drawing on 60-plus, pro-escent.
grade tools across Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere,
Lightroom Express, and more to help bring your ideas to life. You can also get started with
creative skills, a growing library of pre-built workflows for common creative tasks, like batch
editing photos, creating mood boards, portrait retouching, and creating social variations. Every step
the assistant takes is visible so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any time. You
stay in the driver's seat as the creative director.
Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta.
See it today at firefly.adopi.com.
You know, you have to be able to take time to be able to understand who you are and what you
stand for, right?
And this is the biggest thing.
When we work with our clients over at Sandow Authority, we spend the first month and
a half just to understanding their personal brand, their who, they're what, they're what,
they're what's their tonality, right?
What are their mannerisms?
How do we actually communicate?
Right.
And it's not just about who they are now, right?
Personal brands.
And the biggest thing about this is it's not about how the world sees you.
It's the overlap of how you see yourself and how those two overlap.
That's what a true personal brand stands for.
And when you take the time out to be able to do that, you can feed the algorithm and the
AI, the information it needs.
Because look, everyone listening are, I mean, some of you all probably do.
I can go in and go, I put content out for the last 10 plus years, so I can say,
write like Joshua B. Lee, right?
And be able to go through, but not everyone can.
So what are you feeding it to be able to understand?
Like, I've got different prompts that I'll use Jordan, you know, to really go through.
And it's like, like one right here.
Like, right, you are Joshua B. Lee, a social media pro and LinkedIn expert that avoids
jargon and takes a more fun conversational tone, right?
Being able to feed those things.
Now, what it gives me back, I'm not just cut copy base.
Again, I'm adjusting it as well, too, to be able to read.
And so that's what people need to understand.
And it's not just about the content.
LinkedIn's shifting.
So it used to be, we were seeing a big thing, viral contents, you know, the cat, hang in there, right?
Like, I'm like, dude, you're getting a thousand likes.
But what is it actually generating?
LinkedIn's just shifted the algorithm 100% to go, we're going to focus on not viral content.
We're not giving visibility of that anymore.
We're actually going to give it to the people that are educating their audiences, right?
How are you adding value?
How are you giving tips and education and really being able to provide value?
And then they're going to go through that.
And that's where we can use AI.
You can use it to be able to find that information, go through your current content.
Like, we'll go through my past podcast.
We'll go through content of written in the past to be able to go through or have conversations.
But this is what the big thing is, Jordan.
I think people are going to see this and go, oh, cool.
I'm going to be an expert in AI.
So I'm just going to ask ChatGBT, GBT, you give me all this.
Dude, if I was on here with you and I was the expert in AI and I just had AI write everything
for me and then I showed up on this conversation, you'd know really quickly that I was
bullshitting.
I mean, it's like.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, you bring up a good point.
And I think it's important, you know, for people to, you know, because some people are saying
like, hey, can you share the prompts?
But what's important, like, Val, to answer that question.
You know, you also have to understand the tool that you're using and the information that
that tool has available to it.
You know, so, you know, Joshua brings up a good point.
He's been working in the online space since the MySpace days.
So if he tells ChatTPT, which has a knowledge cut off of 2021, to write like Joshua B.
Lee, there's enough information out there on the internet that Chan CPT can know it.
But for most people, you don't have that wealth of information.
So something I do want to talk about, Joshua, because I think you have some insight that a lot of us don't have, you know, because we think of AI and we automatically, everyone shifts to, okay, what tools should I be using or can I use, you know, like Audrey asked like what tools would you recommend. But I think you have some insight into what Microsoft slash LinkedIn is actually doing because they are bringing AI tools to the entire platform. So talk a little bit about that.
No, and this is that whole piece, man.
I mean, how they're integrating is just phenomenal.
I mean, like you talked about Elon with his new company.
Well, that did come out of nowhere, right?
Like, he bought Twitter not to own another social media platform,
but to actually index the human algorithm of how we were actually interacting
and be able to teach the new AI company how humans interact
and how we actually go through them.
Guess what?
That's what Microsoft and OpenAI are doing with LinkedIn.
So, I mean, they're going to start going through
and they're rolling out different tools from collaborative arts.
articles where they're having AI write these articles, hundreds of them being able to go through
on the topics that they want content on, right? They want to be able to index. And Jordan, I mean,
before we even get to AI, like LinkedIn was a powerhouse for SEO, right? Like people didn't
understand that all those aspects of what you were putting from your profile to your content,
to your comments now on LinkedIn, we're actually getting highly, highly indexed on Google.
So like I could take your blog from your website, put it on LinkedIn.
And I actually, I promise you, I'll be when I search on Google, I'll find your blog
on LinkedIn before I find it on your own website.
And so in that same scenario, that's what Open AI Microsoft are doing with LinkedIn.
They want to index all the amazing information and be very tactical on it to be able to grab
that in and have human beings go through and add their knowledge to that article to be able
to do an AI human integration, right?
so they can really be able to get that side.
So yes, there's tools from being able to help post to right now what we're seeing.
I think a lot of people that have been on the platform for a long time are using AI
to be able to go through and find sleeper people on LinkedIn or fake followers.
Right.
So I'm losing followers like crazy.
Guess what?
They're trying to really be that platform that goes through.
Look, we don't need to know if you got a million followers and 900,000 of them are fake, right?
Like we want to see the real people, what's going on.
and use AI as a tool to be able to help people really stand out.
So from content to the articles, writing your headline, another tool they're coming out with
or they're actually launched already is being able to help write your resume.
All these things are kind of coming into play, Jordan.
So like that's that whole piece of what LinkedIn's doing.
And I was just at their New York offices here recently.
And I mean, like, dude, we're on, we're scratching the surface of what they're going to be launching.
And like, their main focus, I've never seen LinkedIn the long as I've worked with them.
They're taking people from all different departments and bringing them in under this AI to really make sure that it's front facing focus for them and where they're actually taking LinkedIn and AI integration.
Yeah, there's, I think there's so many ways.
And I love that you brought up the SEO piece, right?
Like as someone that's been in and out of SEO for 20 years, I really, I really appreciate that because people don't understand that, you know, that if you,
maybe don't have a website that's bringing you in a lot of new new business new leads if you are
posting correctly on lincoln that can help you you know helps and discoverability and i don't think
people you know give give uh lincoln enough credit for that so very important to know so so i guess
you know a lot of people probably listening um or or maybe you know if they're reading about this
you know as we recap it in the newsletter today they're going to be saying oh my gosh this is so much
happening on LinkedIn.
Right.
You know, a lot of people, which is, it's funny, a lot of people don't even know the whole
Microsoft LinkedIn.
You know, and then you throw in OpenAI.
So it is really kind of a trio of different teams or platforms moving in unison.
But a lot of people are going to say, okay, I want to be doing more of what Joshua is doing
at that standout authority.
I want to be using these platforms to get more.
But it's so much, you know, all of this AI, these different ways they're integrating it.
So what's your recommendation on how people can actually use?
all of these different tools and features to grow.
First and foremost, Jordan, it starts with your profile, right?
Like people build, unless you're looking for a job, your LinkedIn profile should not read
like a resume.
It should be your career journey, your career story, being able to go through.
And of course, there's AI tools to be able to go through.
Like Jasper has a thing now to be able to write your bio on LinkedIn.
It should tell a story, being able to figure these things out.
So like, that's where everyone needs to start, right?
Like, how do you actually go through?
One of the biggest things I want people to understand is, especially,
when you're starting LinkedIn, your headline is so key. Like we actually tell people to go,
I help X to achieve Y so they can have Z, right? This is important because it identifies your audience,
who you actually work with, right? I work with this. This is me or this is not me. What you do,
the average person sells on service, right? No one buys a service. They don't care how the hamburger's
made. They just care how it tastes. And that's that Z, right? The outcome of what you do. So these
are things that you can actually use chat, CBT, to go, hey, here's all the things. I want to
XYZ statement.
And by dropping it, I help X to achieve Y so they can have Z.
And that's what's amazing with the eye.
You can use tools like, hey, here's all the things I do.
I'm trying to create this statement.
And it'll help you stand out.
Right.
And it starts with a profile.
Because if you start creating content, engaging with people, having conversations,
because that's what it's all about.
How do we have conversations that build relationships?
Relationships create opportunity.
Not spamming a thousand people hoping to get the one sale.
is they can just piss off 999 people.
Oh, gosh.
Please, if you are listening and you are one of those people that is just the term is pitch
slapping relentlessly, just write down what Joshua just said there and put it on us on
a sticky note.
All right, we have some questions.
Tons of the questions in there.
I mean, you know, Jordan, I wanted to make sure, too, like everyone, I saw some questions
going in there, like truly like content-wise and stuff like that.
I mean, like create content.
Like they've made that shift to algorithm.
The one I want everyone to understand is too, it's the 10, 20, 70 method of content creation.
You can use AI to be able to help you do this as well too.
10% personal, 20% around your company, right?
Talking about what you've done, not what you can do.
No one cares if you can help them make seven figures, show them how you've helped someone else,
then 70% other add value, educate your audience.
And so these are different pieces that I think people need to from that statement
and then how to actually create your content, especially using AI.
when you start doing that, that's where your visibility will come out.
Yeah, huge, like, visibility is everything.
I think on LinkedIn, you know, the more people that you can get your message out to,
the better.
It's something, you know, all people, you know, want more visibility on LinkedIn or website
or whatever.
Yeah, it may be.
Nancy, Nancy asking Jasper, what's the scoop on that?
So, you know, Jasper, Nancy, to answer the question is, it's a generative AI tool that uses
the GPT technology.
You know, we talk on the show that, you know, a lot of people when they think GPT, they think, oh, chat GPT, which came out seven months ago.
But GPT technology has been openly available since 2020.
I believe Jasper launched, you know, the last week of 2020.
So, yeah, there's a lot of other tools that have been using this technology for many years.
But a good question that I wanted to toss your way here, Josh, from Val.
Just saying, what is the LinkedIn posting schedule or daily workflow with the platform, right?
Because I think when you get more AI, you just think, okay, I'm going to do 20 posts a day now because it takes 30 seconds.
Don't do that.
Don't do 20 posts a day.
Look, they're not looking to be able to have a whole bunch of content from one user, right?
Like that's going to actually hurt you, right?
You want to do them.
What we look for is a minimum of three posts a week.
Now, it's counterintuitive to every other platform out there.
Like Twitter, you want to be posting three times a day.
Hell, threads people are posting three times a minute, right?
It's, you know, you have Facebook going through.
Like, so people are going through.
Like, you have the opportunity now on a platform to create content three times a week
to a higher, you know, more educated, higher income and people that I can actually make
decisions on a platform like this on LinkedIn and get indexed on chat GPT, right?
Open AI, how they're actually leveraging it to not just be the expert, but the authority,
because that's where we're actually going.
So when you're creating content, think about that.
Like in the mornings, too, we usually look at.
about between 9 and 10 a.m. depending on where you're either audience is or where you are in the
world, right? So look at those things in the morning. And then really as you're kind of going through,
look, I post every day, Jordan, and you know, kind of going through and creating that content,
but don't post. If you post the second post in a day, what we actually see is you need 10 times
the engagement, likes or comments, you get the same visibility. So you're not working smarter. You're
working harder by putting out more content. And so that's where I want everyone to kind of think about
being able to go through. Now, it doesn't stop at posting. You know, if you think that I'm going to
put up a post, I'm going to go, okay, I'm waiting. Where's the money? Where's the people? Do that,
that doesn't happen anymore. Right. One of the biggest things that we look at is you have to be able to
draw in that audience, right? Sales navigator is an amazing tool to be able to do that with. And it's not
just, most people use it again for that pitching piece. This is your opportunity to be able to not
cold pitch. We all hate cold call and cold email. So this is what I want you all to be able to think
about what actions, what trigger points does someone take? Do they look to your profile? Do they
engaging your content? Or did they post great content? Right. So we're spending our beginning days because
you only get about 100 invites a week right now because LinkedIn's limited that because of the spamming.
So go through that. If it's your ideal audience, I'll pull it back one more, Jordan, because I think
this is really important for everyone. Why does everyone in the world, no matter who you are,
where you live, you know, what your background is. Why do we all post online first and foremost,
right? And I'll give it to you because I know we're limited on time to kind of going through,
but I mean, the reason why we all post is for those little hits of dopamine we all get when someone
likes her comments on our post. Then it's everything else because they give us validation.
We put it out there like, is someone going to like it, right? We've been conditioned over 20 years.
So that's what I want you to think about when you're on LinkedIn every day.
Go in, use a tool like sales navigator, LinkedIn CRM system. It's $100 a month.
And then go through, find the people that have posted content because the average person gets less than 1% engagement.
You want to get Jordan's attention, like his post, comment, a post, then send a message out and say, hey, Jordan, man, I saw your recent, you know, event with Joshua Bealey, man, really got a lot of value.
We just want to take two seconds out and say, thank you.
Thank you, create stopgaps in people's patterns.
Because the pattern online, the human algorithm is like comment, share posts, like comment, share posts.
You appreciate someone for something they take for granted on a regular basis.
it creates that stop pattern and allows you to be able to hear and have a conversation.
So, wow, wow.
Yeah.
I know it's outside of AI, but we have to bring that human element in there because if you start using AI without that, you're lost.
You absolutely, you have to.
But I think the important takeaway, at least for me, because I'm learning over here, I'm jotting down notes, is that, you know, you still have to do that hard work of supporting other people, adding in your, you know, it's not just you.
putting things out to the world.
You got drawing your ideal audience.
Yeah, exactly.
You have to go out, find the people that's your ideal audience, draw them into your
world, and then your content backs you up as of the authority and they, and that educates
them enough that they have a problem.
This is where that, man, it's, it's massive.
It's huge.
It works so well.
I mean, we work with our clients.
I mean, our programs are running from $5,000 to $50,000.
We never spend any money on advertising.
We're just doing organic marketing on LinkedIn, doing relationship building.
and being able to use AI to be able to do that.
Same thing, right?
There's a tool.
I know one person asks,
Merlin is a great tool to be able to use because it allows content,
but don't just hit because Merlin's got those first three,
which is trying to remember.
I think it's like positive reply, thoughtful reply,
curious reply.
Go in and write your own prompt.
Use it.
Don't just go in and hit the random things because I guess they'll go through and read
and then make it the right way to be able to go through.
Merlin is powerful to be able to go through.
and I've gained thousands of followers just by going in and making sure that I'm engaging on people's
content that already have a huge following that add value of this world and align with what I do.
And just doing that five comments a day will bring you massive, massive opportunity on LinkedIn.
