Welcome to The Proving Podcast, where it's not about what you think, only what you can prove.
Susan Sly was told she had months to live. She lost her business and watched her marriage fall
apart. 25 years later, she has built billion-dollar brands, led the largest AI rollout in US history,
and lives a life that most of us can only dream of. Buckle up. She's here to prove how it's done.
The show starts now. All right, everybody, welcome back to the show. Susan, thank you so much for
being on. Charles, I am so excited to be here. Thank you for having me.
Absolutely. So for the few people on the planet, which I can't imagine many don't know who you are,
can you give me a breakdown of who you are and what you're done?
Oh, so for the 7,999,000,000,000. So for everyone listening, we've all had those moments that either define us or refine us.
And Charles, you and I are cut from the same cloth.
Like we're never going to be a victim.
So there are always going to be refining moments.
And for me, the big one happened coming out of 1999 into 2000.
So we were all worried about Y2K. You and I are both
technologists and everyone in the world's freaking out. And at that time, I owned a health club. I
had about 52 employees. I was a professional athlete, Ironman distance triathlon. I was a
media celebrity. I was on radio, television, doing all this stuff, but my body started breaking down.
And my first thing I want to say to everyone is,
don't just put something on a post-it note and be like,
oh, I need to go get this checked out.
Cause I was that person that just kept pushing,
pushing, pushing.
But finally I was dropping things.
I started slurring my speech.
I wasn't drinking.
And I went to my doctor.
I was like, listen, Ross, I need these tests.
And he's like, Susan, you're just stressed out.
I knew I wasn't stressed out.
I went on vacation anyway.
I slept the whole time at a five star all inclusive resort.
I didn't get out of bed for seven days.
I flew back, handed him the post-it note.
I said, Ross, listen, you come to me,
you wanna know what to eat, what running shoes. I want these
tests." And I had the test. January 13, 2000, Charles, he calls me in the office. We didn't
lose the world with Y2K, but my world shifted. And he showed me a scan and it was, it looked like a
fish bowl full of fish. And he said, this is your brain. These are lesions.
You have progressive multiple sclerosis.
This is the worst kind.
You are going to be in a wheelchair in 10 years
and dead in 20.
Three days later, my marriage fell apart.
16 weeks later, I walked into my health club.
There was a padlock on the door.
We'd been shut down for failure to pay taxes.
I had been burying my head in the sand financially.
So in a 16 week period, I end up homeless as a single mom,
completely lost everything and diagnosed
with a terminal illness.
And that was a refining moment for me.
And as we get into my story, the thing I want to say
to anyone listening, if you're going through something,
the biggest thing I'll say say to anyone listening, if you're going through something, the biggest
thing I'll say is, as Winston Churchill said, if you're going through hell, just keep on
going.
And, you know, I'm here today, 25 years later, because I made some very deliberate decisions.
And that's what refines my career, not just in sales and marketing, where I've generated
billions of dollars in sales for large companies or as a
Technologist doing the largest deployment of computer vision AI at scale that has been done in US history
So there's a lot to unpack there and
So MS for most people is devastating for MS when you get diagnosed that it's an autoimmune disorder
It knocks the legs out of you now. I know this will come as a surprise, but you're not dead.
Hey, out in a wheelchair.
I'm an AI, no.
You're an AI, you're not real at all.
This is just agent.
So you got remarried and you've done all these things
and you just were recently at a wonderful place in Montana.
How does, when you get punched in the face that hard,
cause most people are like, hey, how do I pay my bills?
But they're not understanding, again,
I spent eight years in hospice watching people die who didn't curve the way you did and of that hard. Cause most people are like, Hey, how do I pay my bills? But they're not understanding. Again, I spent eight years in hospice watching
people die who didn't, you know, curve the way
you did and have that gift.
How do you withstand that?
When you get that type of a hit, what are some
of the proven strategies that's going to go,
okay, I just found out that I'm diagnosed with MS.
What do I do?
And for you, spending all that time in the hospice
and you've read, I know those studies on death and dying and people's
biggest regrets, right? For me, the blessing came just prior to the breakdown. So there was this guy
who was also an athlete and he said, you know, Susan, you define yourself by the Mercedes you
drive and the handbag you have and blah, blah, blah, the people you know. And he you define yourself by the Mercedes you drive and the handbag you have
and blah, blah, blah, the people you know. And he's like, if you lost everything tomorrow,
these are his words, literally, you lost everything tomorrow, you were naked alone. This is before
the show naked alone, by the way, but you're naked alone in the woods, you had nothing,
your family didn't exist, nothing, who would you be? I was like, that is a question.
And it was a snowy day, but the road was clear.
And I took my bike out and I biked for about three hours and I kept going, who am I?
Who am I?
And little by little, the small voice was like, you're a teacher.
And I went, I'm a teacher.
What have I got to teach?
And so when the end came, I literally got down on my knees
and I was like, God, if I'm meant to be a teacher,
what am I meant to teach?
And I want to spend the rest of my life empowering people.
But first, I have to get out of this situation.
Like to your point, Charles, an impossible situation.
And it's, you and I know a lot of people in common, people who have been on the situation, like to your point, Charles, an impossible situation. And it's, you and I know a lot of people in common,
people who have been on the show,
people like Jeremy Dahlk, right?
John Lee Dumas, people who have been like Jeremy's situation,
oh my gosh, impossible, not just one time,
two times, three times, the FDA rating him,
like, you know, all of it that happened.
And yet people who are clear on who they are, they're clear on the
fact that there is a source, whatever someone wants to call it, I say, God, that ultimately is
benevolent, you can get out of it. And that's how I did. And so I began to turn my life around. I
began to on the health side, biohack my health. On the wealth side, I knew that we are
who we surround ourselves with.
And I made a declaration after I lost everything
that I would have memorized the names of seven people
who made over a million dollars a year.
And so this was before cell phones were really a thing.
And I said, I will have those names memorized.
And within two years I did,
I started listening to Jim Rohn. I started to listen to Tony Robbins. I have shared the stage
with Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins. All of the people from those days that, you know, you had John
Asrath on the show. I've done multi-speaker events with John. All of those people that people can
name Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen is a good friend of mine.
That's what I set out to do.
And it was, I knew who I was.
I was intentional.
I wasn't a victim.
And I just, every single day was leaning into that power of belief and source.
And that's how I got through it.
It's interesting.
A lot of what you just shared, because a lot of
people will talk, you know, we'll make things up
like, oh, well, I see that way the same way, or I
felt this or things of that nature. Literally wrote a book called Who Changes Everything, which is all about
identifying who you are. And I think a lot of it came from being around those types of situations.
I've been very blessed. I haven't had to face that wall. And you know, some things that Jeremy ran
through and that you ran through, if you don't understand who you are, the what, the how and the
why are useless. You have to identify and really dig into who you are.
It's just, it's militantly clear.
When so selfishly, I have a dear friend of mine who has just come
into the world that there's a strong possibility that he has MS.
So I'm going to selfishly take time on this podcast for him.
If there were five or six things that you did that you're like, Hey,
these are the things that changed the ball game.
You'd be at relight therapy or oxygenating your blood or different types of things when
it comes to MS.
So, you know, we're going with this.
What are kind of the five things that I can selfishly steal from you and pass over to
him?
So, hey, this is how you pivot over and then we'll get into AI and some of the other stuff
that you're doing.
But if you're running into some MS hurdles, which you're thriving in your life, what are
some of the things that have produced the best results for you? I love that. And, and to whoever it is listening, um,
that Charles knows how to contact me.
I'm happy to do a call with you and we can
talk through some of these and do a deeper dive.
It doesn't have to be a terminal, uh, life
sentence.
So the first thing is I didn't go to any
support group.
I do not have time to sit around with people
complaining about problems because then where's the solution, right? So firstly, I never went
to a support group. I was like, screw that. I'm not going to do that. The next thing is
I decided to biohack. And the first thing, it's like anything. You do real estate investing,
Charles. So you're not going to pay attention to people who lost millions of dollars in deals and
went bankrupt and never came back.
You're going to look at people who crushed it in real estate and they're not just making
money from teaching people about it.
They're actually, they did it and the same thing.
So in those days, Montel Williams, he was living exceptionally and he was one of the first
people to start talking about essential fats for MS and specialized diets. I'm like, if
Montel Williams is doing it, I'm doing it. So I started to first and foremost, like really
clean up my diet. I drank diet Coke like crazy part of that. So I haven't had a diet coke in 25 years. So none of, no aspartame,
gluten, nothing with sucralose in it, no MSG, nothing. Super, super clean. That is one.
Number two, I started to also look at what were the therapies that were effective. And here's the thing,
I'm going to disclaim the statement that everyone needs to speak to their primary health care
practitioner. Go advice. But I was a certified holistic nutritionist. And so I decided to go
back to school. I stayed homeopathic medicine. I stayed traditional Chinese medicine. I looked
at Ayurvedic medicine, and the best progress
was actually being made with what I call complementary therapies, acupuncture, all of those things.
So I started to really ensconce myself in that. So my practice still currently is acupuncture,
ozone therapy, IVs, so infusions. Every Monday, I detox detox and even though I'm in my 50s and
there's new evidence that's like, oh women in menopause shouldn't be doing
intermittent fasting, that's not why I do it. It's not a weight issue. It's just to
recalibrate my body. Once a year I go to a place called We Care and that is in
Palm Desert and I do a whole week long
fast.
Matthew McConaughey has gone there to get ready for Dallas Buyers Club.
It is the most healing place on the planet, medically, physically.
There's no medical interventions.
You fast, you meditate, you pray, all sorts of, they wrap your body in castor oil, it's the best feeling.
So it's very healing. I also go to, I'm just laying it all out. So I, you know,
what, again, this is what I do. It's just like, if we were talking about the stock market,
you know, you have to get your own advice. But I also go to a place in Cabo San Lucas called StemMaid. And so they do stem cell therapy.
They're doing, they do eBoo.
So they'll pull your blood out.
They'll ozonate it.
They'll clean it.
They'll put it back in.
They do all kinds of different therapies.
So those are the things I do on a daily basis.
Every morning I'm doing 45 minutes of prayer or meditation.
I don't look at my phone in the morning.
I get exercise every single day, seven days a week.
If I don't move my body, I feel it.
So lots of yoga, stretching, I run, I cycle,
all of that stuff.
I do heavy strength training.
I just did my first CrossFit workout with Marcus Wilson,
who founded Noble Shoes. And Marcus and I were at this summit in upstate New York, and he's like, let's do CrossFit workout with Marcus Wilson who founded Noble Shoes and Marcus and I were at this
summit in upstate New York and he's like, let's do CrossFit.
I'm like, sure.
So I just did that.
It was a lot of fun.
So I mixed it up and then I always do gratitude every day.
I write 10 times gratitude and before I start my day, I leave three gratitude voice texts
for people and that's 23 years of practice now.
So I am not, full disclaimer, I do not take the
medication for it.
I do have my days.
Some days I do feel like, oh, it's a little bit more
challenging, but you know, that that's how I roll.
I love that.
It's, it's interesting because I've done triathlons
as well.
And a lot of it, cause for those of you because I've done triathlons as well.
And a lot of it, cause for those of you who don't know triathlons, there were, I've never done it.
It's, it's for crazy people, but you go to swim, bike, run, and I'm, I'm a swimmer
by default, I'm a swimmer.
I'm exceptionally fast in the water.
The bike is what it is, but I have 17 inch calves.
So the, the run is like running as a, it's brutal.
All of everyone who's ever done this, and you could probably speak to this, the mind game that you get to play and finding out who you are in the run is like running as a, it's brutal. All of everyone who's ever done this, and you could probably speak to this,
the mind game that you get to play and finding out who you are in the run is
the whole reason I do the tries.
And when you were talking about some of the stuff with stem cells and
ozone and doing the infusions, um, luckily he's doing some of that.
But I will, if I will a hundred percent take you up on, uh, getting the two of
you guys connected, cause he, um, giving him the idea that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train, uh, would be,
it would be a gift because he's just, he's a great human being. So, but back to the stuff we're
talking about here. So you get diagnosed, you find this stuff and you find your way out through
everything that you shared, which was beautiful. You didn't just find your way out. You've knocked
down and done some really impressive things. You know, you talked
about your father a little bit and some of the things that he was doing. I'd love to hear you
share that just to give him some tribute as well. What were some of the things you've done
professionally now as well? Yeah, I was raised and to all the men out there, you know, even though
I'm such an advocate for women and we know that women-led startups receive less than
1% of all VC funding.
It's actually gone down, Charles, from 2.5% to 2.4% to under 2% to last year.
In 2024, it was less than 1%.
And yet, women-led startups are 60% more profitable.
It's crazy.
And so, I was raised by a single dad who taught me
that he had five sisters, no brothers, poor guy,
that I could literally be do and have anything I wanted.
When I was 10 years old, he handed me the book
Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
And one of the biggest lessons from Master Sun was for me,
adapt your train.
So one of the things I've always been adaptable.
So we turn on the news, there's tariffs, adapt.
We turn on the news, there's suddenly no grant funding,
adapt.
I have to be scrappy and adaptable.
And as a triathlete, you don't know.
You could show up for that race and it's raining,
it's sleet, it could be, I did Ironman Malaysia,
I kept flatting out my tires,
I did the last 10K of the bike on flats,
I ran out of tubes, like just the stuff, right?
So for me professionally, in my book of work,
if there were headlines, yes,
largest deployment of computer vision AI
at scale in the United States,
that company I co-founded,
we now have eight patents and counting. We're just
crushing it there. Doing a new company being the first company to really dive into the
perimenopause and menopause space using AI. We could talk about that. Building sales teams,
as I mentioned, that generate over $2 billion of sales for domestic companies in the US in both CPG, consumer package goods,
and also in technology. And so yeah, I've done a lot. I think the biggest thing for me when I got
the diagnosis, Elizabeth Kuvler Ross, the stages of death and dying Charles, you know all about those.
I wasn't angry. I wasn't shocked. The first thought in my head was, crap, I
haven't done the Boston Marathon yet. And I think of all the professional things in
my body of work, my big thing was doing six Boston Marathons after getting diagnosed.
I want to do four more to make it 10. And for people who don't know, you have to qualify
for Boston, you don't just get to do Boston,
you don't show up and do 26.2 miles.
So that's one of my big achievement, of course,
having my kids and everything else,
even being with my husband, Chris, for 25 years,
that's in dog, like a marriage these days,
it's like dog years, it's like dog years. It's like, you know, 200 years.
You've done a lot of things that other people haven't.
And, you know, we both see our tech background.
Normally in tech, when there's something going on, normally you just pull up, you
read the white paper, which I've written way too many of those.
There's, there's going to be instructions.
A lot of things you've done that didn't come with instructions.
There's a lot of people right now who are finding they're adapting to a new world and it's ever
changing, especially with AI. And we're going to jump into a lot of the AI stuff you've done.
But when you're sitting there and there isn't that plan, what is the first kind of things you go
into? Okay, I've got to build these sales team to do this, or I've got to penetrate this market
differently. Or as an angel investor, how do I look at things differently? Because we're pitched
all the time. How do we go into the history?
Please stop pitching me for any of you guys who are listening out there.
Please stop pitching me.
Me too.
Me too.
Please.
No more.
Please.
No, I love that you found what a Sequoia deck is.
I love you for that.
Please stop pitching me.
Thank you.
So as you're going through and you're trying to break in those, there's those steps,
those proven paths of like, okay, new problem, no
matter what it is, this is what I walk through.
What are some of the things that you do?
Because you've overcome and done some amazing
things. What are the things you're like, okay,
these are my tangible first three or four steps.
Uh, you know, it's so interesting is that there
are different schools of thought.
So I'm going to reference Mark Zuckerberg
because I, this is how I build software.
So one of the things people might not know
about Mark Zuckerberg, other than he gives his wife
interesting statues or he has his uniform
or you know the Harvard story and we all saw that movie.
So the way Zuckerberg builds software,
and this is directly from him, is that he will say,
okay, we're gonna kind of survey people
or get a vibe for what people want,
and then we're gonna push out a feature.
We know it's gonna be really ugly.
We're gonna get user feedback,
and we're gonna be totally fine knowing
that some of the feedback is gonna be really horrible.
We're gonna refine the feature, push it out,
refine it, push it out until people love it,
and then we're gonna wash, rinse, repeat, and do the same thing. So the question about
how do we solve for problems? So what are the problems people want to solve? I went to MIT
Sloan and then I graduated from MIT exec ed in the engineering school. And that my one wish from
my dad was I go to MIT, but I failed calculus first year university in my undergrad.
So I thought MIT was not in the cards,
but it became my COVID project.
Some people got chickens, I went to school.
So anyway, but the big piece around
that problem we wanna solve is at MIT,
the way we look at solving problems is
how can we do it cheaply, get our proof
of concept, but get something called a MMP, not an MVP, so a minimum marketable product?
So how do we take some off-the-shelf tools, put together a tech stack, put it out there
in the world, and then see if people will pay for it?
So that's what I'm doing with my current company.
With my past company, we were at the bleeding edge of AI before there was off-the-shelf
tools.
So we had to build all of our own tools.
That's why we have so many patents in that company.
And we were looking at problems we could solve.
And then suddenly, the way that company was really bootstrapped was because we went into
computer vision because no one else was there.
And the whole thing with computer vision, and we can dive into that, and I know you
know all about it, is that essentially for listeners who don't know, there are different
forms of AI.
Computer vision is when you're taking artificial intelligence models, looking at cameras, security
cameras, ideally existing cameras, and then doing motion interpretation
of what humans and vehicles are doing or whether or whatever it is through those cameras.
So we decided to go into the gas station convenience store industry because there were already
existing security cameras, but no one was solving for customer analytics using vision.
That's where we decided to play and to dive right in.
So the way I look at it is the way Zuckerberg does, we're gonna solve a
problem, we're gonna get feedback, it's gonna be ugly and we're gonna start
with a solution that we know people are gonna pay for and we're not gonna have
cycles of spending tens of millions of dollars building stuff that no one pays
for. Like that's get it out the door, get some early revenue and just keep charging that mountain.
And listen to the feedback that comes in because it will change it.
Now, one of the things that have changed, and I love that you jumped into AI,
AI is changing the world. We were talking about this before. You were in tech when it was Y2K
and we were installing cards that did nothing. They're like, oh, this will protect you from white.
Anyway, we installed tons of those things nothing. They're like, oh, this will protect you from white ever.
We installed tons of those things.
And I remember during that environment,
I had multiple networks running,
none of them even skipped a beat, nothing happened.
So we're like, what the heck?
We thought the whole world was gonna die.
Dang it.
Lots of extra overtime, it was wonderful.
We're now into a world of AI.
And there's a lot of people like, oh, well, this is a fab.
Like the internet was a fad.
Now we're in the world of AI where this is,
this is the new world.
There I was on stage.
I was talking to John about this.
John said, there are going to be two type of
companies in the next six months.
The ones who use AI and the ones who call me
towards bankruptcy.
He goes, and that's just how it is.
And John Asroth hit it really well.
I was like, okay, that, that makes sense.
For those of us who are walking into it, and
you're kind of tip of the spear when it comes to
this, you've already done this and you've created some amazing things. For those of us who are walking into it, and you're kind of tip of the spear when it comes to this. You've already done this and you've created some amazing things.
For those of us who are not tip of the spear
and are trying to catch up,
what are some of the things when it comes to AI,
when you're starting to use it,
where some of the mistakes people are using,
be it based off fear or just implementation
or being tactical with it,
what are some of the problems that they're running into?
Oh, that's a great question.
And as a side, I do, if people listening want me to,
I do do AI innovation workshops and consulting
with companies because what we, here's a big mistake.
You've got someone's like, oh, we have to do AI
and they don't know what they're talking about.
The first thing is, the question I have is, who is on your board?
Does anyone on your board have experience scaling AI?
And I'm not talking about they read some freaking McKinsey report or like they have a Gardner
consultant.
Like, I mean, does anyone actually have experience doing an AI implementation that's scaled?
And by scaling, Charles and I, what we're talking about is a piece of technology that can go to multiple users, multiple divisions,
in multiple geographic locations. That's what scaling is. Not all technology is
scalable. There are a lot of ideas that are cooked up in a lab that will not
actually scale. So who on your board has experienced scaling AI?
Number two, I always ask in my workshops, do you have an AI committee? If so, who is on the
committee? Do you have multiple stakeholders? Because you know what people always do on their
AI committee, you and I know this Charles, big number one mistake. We're just going to put all
the tech people on the AI committee. Wrong. No, you're not. You need people from HR, from legal. I even love people from finance on there.
You have to get the buy-in from multiple stakeholders. And in my past company, we worked with large hospital ecosystems,
some of the, you know, one of the biggest retailers in the United States. And so the multiple stakeholders, that's the next thing.
The third biggest mistake is you don't know why you're using AI.
To John Asra's point, yes, companies that aren't AI forward, they're not going to exist.
And the other thing in startups, if anyone's doing a tech startup, is that with AI forward,
what the VCs are looking for is lean teams. We saw that in one of the most recent news cycles, Intel is laying off hundreds and hundreds
of employees just in their Silicon Valley location.
That's not globally.
We've seen big layoffs from all the major hyperscalers.
And the reason is, is because even we use no code tools too, that with these tools, one person can now do the work of three or four people.
And so you have to know why you want to use AI,
what is your problem you're trying to solve.
And those are the big things I always say
before any company starts to think about AI.
And the, you know, it's like the doctor
who isn't prescribing certain medication,
then the pharma rep comes
in and is like, hey, you need to use this.
And by the way, if you prescribe a lot, you get to go on a cruise.
And suddenly they're just giving this out to every patient.
That's what we're seeing with AI.
It's like, oh, I saw this AI tool and now we're just going to use it for everything.
You're not thinking about all of the different levels of complexity that you should be going
through in your organization
in order to scale it and use it effectively.
What have you found as far as tools or methodologies with AI have been the most effective?
You know, we were talking about how corporations are changing and Microsoft just announced
that they saved like 50 or 500 million dollars and they're like, hey, we just changed the
ballgame.
This is only going to continue.
So what are some of the tools and the methodologies that you have found that like, hey, we just changed the ballgame. This is only going to continue. So what are some of the tools and the methodologies that you have found that like,
hey, this has really proven to be the best thing
when it comes to using AI and implementing it.
Where have you seen it shining stars?
So it's so interesting because this year I was speaking
at CES on agentic AI.
And I also hosted a panel on BCI,
which is brain computer interface.
We don't have
to get that nerdy because some of your listeners are like, what the heck are you talking about?
But two years ago at CES, everyone was talking about gen AI. And just going back a little
bit in recent time, generative AI and what open AI did was the democratization of AI. Prior to this, AI was reserved for enterprise
because it was very expensive.
And my background is edge AI.
So there's a server component,
there's a cloud component.
It can be pricey to do those deployments.
But everyone's talking about GenAI.
GenAI now is several iterations old, which means that some of the things like the hallucinations and the things that were happening early on, those things have been ameliorated. a great return on investment are using Gen.ai tools. And I use Gen.ai tools myself all the time.
Our team uses them. But I'm like, do not show me something that you ran through GPT that wasn't
like a, you know, that that particular GPT wasn't given a proper instruction set. Don't just spit
something out. I don't want to see the word thrive. I don't want to see delved. I don't want to see the friggin dashes. I don't want to see the stupid emojis. I, you know, I can do
that myself. Thank you all very much. Right. So, but generative AI tools can be used, I think,
for the following three things. So one, we all get decision fatigue, especially in the C-suite,
founders, middle managers. That's a great time to go to your GEN.AI
model and say, hey, help me come up with 10 ideas that we can use to lift sales 5%. And you don't
even have to put in proprietary data. I'll give a real-world example. So I trade my own stock
portfolio. So one of the things I'm using my GPT-4 model, one of my custom GPTs,
is saying, okay, let's take a look at the news cycle for NVIDIA. I want you to read the charts
for NVIDIA. I want you to take a look at the global landscape for semiconductors and build a predictive model of this target of the estimated share
price for the next 18 months.
So that's something I'm doing in my personal life for my portfolio.
The same thing is true using it Charles for saying, hey, I want you to take a look at
the news cycle.
This is a great freebie that anyone can do.
Look at the news cycle.
Look at, put your competitors' websites in.
Put your website in.
Give me 10 ways we could drive profits by 5%.
So that's one.
Love Gen.AI for that.
Number two, I caution against putting your proprietary data into a GPT.
But that being said, you could put dummy data that's lookalike data into the GPT and say,
where can we cost optimize?
That is phenomenal.
The third way, if you have your own generative AI models and you are putting your own data in,
it's the questions you ask.
And things we previously,
and sorry, I have friends who work for these companies,
but I have said consultants.
Two years ago, I said there will be no consultants,
there will be no influencers.
These are the top things that AI is gonna replace.
And even Gary Vee is like, there'll be AI influencers.
Last year, Mango, the Spanish clothing company,
did their whole spring campaign with AI, Looks Like Humans.
So we won't be needing consultants
because of generative AI, sorry, friends in that world.
You don't need them.
So that's the biggest low lift,
playing with content creation.
We all know like white papers, blog posts, all of those things.
Just make sure you go sanity check them.
Another way I just save money, we have a patent we're applying for.
I love patents.
Most female founders to the female founders listening, you don't do enough patents, you
don't do enough trademarks girls, you need to get off your ass and do those things.
So I had my GPT do
this the preliminary search on the USPTO. So I wasn't paying an attorney $5,000 just
to search. And then I went in and verify the links myself. So all sorts of ways but GenAI
is the bright shining spot. But we're moving into a Gentic AI, then robotics. I know many
investors, I was just at an event with Jack Selby, they're like
doubling, tripling down on robotics. We can talk about that, but all of this has been leading to
this inflection point in technology where we're headed within the next, I would say 18 months.
Short, yeah, closer. It's going to go a lot faster. So a lot of people are listening to this,
especially the SMBs out there,
the people are like, Hey, I just made my first, you know, I've made my first 10 million.
This is what it is.
A lot of them are terrified because they, they contact me and they reach out and they're like, Hey, where is AI going to go?
What, what jobs are going to be left?
And, you know, I've got people who are friends in LA and they're like, I'm going to be an actor or an actor.
So I'm like, no, that's cute.
No, not anymore.
So where do you see,
because everyone talks about the doom and gloom.
These are gonna get wiped out.
These billions of jobs are gonna get wiped out.
And when that comes across my desk, I'm like, yes, absolutely.
Just like when we went from industrial
and went from agricultural to industrial
and when technology boom happened,
these things are changing.
Where do you see the opportunities that are coming in?
Cause you're, you're an individual who has not found the opportunities,
but capitalize them on a high level.
Where should people be saying, okay, I own this type of business.
Maybe it's time to systematize scale and sell that and enter into a new industry
that has a better path ahead of it.
So I, I love that question, Charles.
So I'm going to answer it first through the investment lens. path ahead of it. I love that question, Charles.
I'm going to answer it first through the investment lens.
So, in order for us, so I was having this discussion about Tesla as an example,
and with a fellow founder who's also an AI, because we were talking about our investments.
And I said, I want to use Tesla as an example. So we know that,
you know, Elon's just launched the robot taxi and my home base is Phoenix. So Phoenix is
the only location right now currently where Waymo can pick you up and drop you off the
airport. My kids use Waymo all the time. It's cheaper than Uber. But in order for us to get to where we are in artificial intelligence and robotics,
it's been the years culminating, culminating.
Where I came out of IoT and computer vision,
it's for the average lay person.
You have data inputs coming in from computers, from audio,
from cameras, from all sorts of different kinds of sensors, and then to be able
to combine them and to have a car that can make decisions, right? And that's where Elon, starting
with Tesla, and then going to the robot taxi, and then to Optimus, we're having these personalized
robots. Those personalized robots are built on the technology
from the autonomous vehicles,
which came from the EV vehicles that were computerized.
So I just wanted to give a brief history of this.
So where we're going, robotics, robotics, robotics, robotics.
And that is what the vision is, is that, you know,
for Elon's vision, everyone will have their own
personalized robot and it will fall in the price point of somewhere anywhere from $35,000 to $55,000.
So just like we all, you and I are of the age where we remember life without cell phones.
And when the first cell phone came out, it looked like a huge box of tissue. I had one of those.
And then everyone's were like,
not everyone's gonna have cell phones.
Now everyone has cell phones.
Like, you know, everyone has cell phones.
So the vision is everyone will have robots.
Where the opportunity is and invest as you see fit,
I'll share where I'm personally investing.
I'm investing in Nvidia.
I have friends that work in NVIDIA. I did business
with NVIDIA when we were in Vision. NVIDIA is the premium chip maker. Jensen is, in my opinion,
one of the top CEOs in the entire world. One of the things Jensen does is his VPs, when they have
their monthly one-on-ones, do you know what he asked them Charles?
I don't.
Bring me an idea that is going to make us an extra billion a month.
Now I have heard that from friends, but that's how he operates.
And so he's, when people say Jensen, that, you know, he, they just became a $4 trillion
company.
When people say Jensen is at the bleeding edge, it's because he knows how to ask the right
question. So the question shouldn't be anyone listening, if
you're an SMB, should we incorporate AI? Like, please,
don't call me. Because that's the wrong question. The right
question is, how do we use AI or how do we use robotics to
generate an extra 10 million a month or billion dollars a year,
or whatever your size of your company is,
that's the right question.
That's the interesting question.
And so where we're going is robotics.
Where we're going is aging in place.
We have a massive shortage in the United States
of hospital beds.
You came out of hospice.
You and I have seen many, many people die.
So aging in place, we don't have the hospital beds. Most people are retiring out to poverty.
So using robotics for home monitoring, home assistant,
that kind of thing, we're gonna see that very widely adopted
within, I would say the next 15 years.
And that's what I want.
I wanna age in place in home.
I don't wanna be living in a home, forget that nonsense.
So that's where we're
going. So I'm an optimist because, and I want everyone listening to hear this, the moment
you flick your switch and start to think of yourself as an investor, so Charles doesn't
drink. So instead of getting the $45 martini, you don't have a second martini, you
put it in an investment account. And you know, the other thing
I'm looking at is cryptocurrency. I've had crypto
for a while not smart enough to get Bitcoin was $50. But I have
friends who did and they're doing okay.
They're doing great guy turned that is I turned that down one of
my guys and he knows who he is can he was like, Hey, there's
this thing is this virtual currency. It's like 100 hundred bucks. We should buy some and I was like
Why am I buying in this war? I thought it was like the world of warcraft stuff
I mean, I I've missed that bolt multiple times. I it's okay. There will be more boats. I'm okay with that
But yeah, okay
If you think of yourself as an investor
Then the big thing is I would you know, this is common sense, right?
And we hear this a lot on your show.
Like, you know, there's no one on the show that I've seen as a guest that is like, oh, I just woke up and got lucky, won the lottery.
Like the, the great entrepreneurs are the ones that are able to see the opportunity that's even just a little bit further ahead, right?
So when I'm looking at,
in order to have the technology that we're all using,
you look at the Microsoft's the world,
you look at what Zuckerberg is doing with his AI,
he's trying to get the top talent from other companies.
He's offering them huge salaries and packages.
I said years ago, he was never a social media company.
I had a financial advisor and I got rid of him
because when Facebook IPO'd, I wanted to buy it.
He said that company is never gonna go anywhere, Susan,
because it's a free platform and I'm like, you don't buy it. He said that company is never going to go anywhere, Susan, because it's a free platform. And I'm like, you don't see it. And he has the largest facial recognition
database in the world. And we all annotated his data. So if you're afraid, number one,
it's inevitable. I did a talk for MIT. I'm like, why would you be afraid of something
that's inevitable? You have to figure out how to adapt to the train.
Number two, everyone is an investor.
Regardless of your financial position right now,
you need to get out of debt.
You need to save money.
You need to live on less than you.
You need to.
And then take every extra bit of resource and invest
and find a mentor.
So Charles does real estate investing.
Find a mentor who can mentor you,
get a good investment advisor. And if your investment advisor doesn't know anything about
AI, doesn't know anything about cryptocurrency, doesn't know anything about robotics,
they're not the right person for you. That person who, you know, hasn't looked at anything since
they did manual calculations in 1985 is not your investment advisor. You need to find somebody who's on top of it. And then I would say the last thing about being optimistic is good
people create good technology, bad people create bad technology. And the cautionary
thing just knowing some of your guests who I know as well, I'll be very blunt. Our enemies are not going to use technology for good.
Correct.
So it's very Pollyanna of us to think that there are people out there that don't want
to use drones, robots for war, and America also will too.
And so that is also nothing you know, nothing that, you know, you can really change. It's just human
nature. So you can either invest or you can write your congressperson or you can protest
or you can do whatever you want. The way I look at it is through the investment lens. Because at
the end of the day, my goal is to become wealthy enough that I can invest in the next generation of startups
that can really change the world.
Well, one of my first mentors said it, he goes, accept the world how it is,
not how you want it to be.
Yes.
Are the way what they are, period.
So part of that of accepting the world and doing better,
and you brought it up before, is asking better questions.
And everything starts with better questions.
And you were talking about NVIDIA CEO.
What are some of the better questions that you
asked not only of you're in the finance world, but
in your health world and then also with your kids?
Because we'll find out that we perform at
different levels.
And if you're coming in, you're like, Hey, I just
found out that I was diagnosed with MS and then I
got a divorce and then I lost a lot of money.
You are asking different questions.
There are questions you asked that led you to a
25 year marriage and to have the relationship
you have and the health you have.
Those are different questions.
What are some of those questions that you ask?
The first question I always ask when confronted
with a, like any challenge, because like, believe
me, and everyone listening, like I have them
all the time, that who has been in the same
situation and gotten through it
and prospered. So they didn't just come through it. It's like they came through it and they
like went on to sort. And that's why I love what you get to do. What I get to do is like
interviewing people and finding out, you know, how did they get through it? How did Jeremy get through what he got through? Right.
And everyone listening, go back and listen to Jeremy's episode and read his book.
It's awesome. So how did they, how did they get through it?
And so that when you, we think about that, it shifts our mind.
I, many years ago, I did my NLP master training certification and I did, you know,
to do those big multi-speaker events with like Tony Robbins and Pitbull and Mel Robbins and all
the folks, right? So I used to do these transformational leadership training events. I learned how to ask
better questions from who I surrounded myself with, right? And you don't last very long on a stage if you're full of nonsense and you
didn't really transcend because you get, you get busted pretty quickly. Right? So that's the first
question I always ask. The second question I ask is who do I know who knows that person?
If I don't know anyone that knows that person is how do I learn about that person? So thank God we have podcasts, we have books,
we have multi-speaker events, we have all sorts of things
and I always wanna get access and find it out.
And I'll give a real world example.
So I have an amazing friend, I won't name who she is,
she's a huge influencer with a very specific area
of specialty.
And she and her husband were
on the verge of divorce and she's like, I'm done. Then suddenly they're happy,
Charles, and they're like renewing their wedding vows. I'm like, what the heck? And
I called her up and she's like, Susan, I went to this transformational training in
LA. She's like, Lewis Howes went through it,
Beyonce went through it, all these people went through it.
I was thinking it was gonna be like $60,000, it was $600.
So the first thing I did is I signed up for it.
I didn't need to know anything else.
Then my husband and I were going through
a really rough patch of our marriage.
And it was like, he was like,
and I don't mind saying this because if it helps you,
and he was like, Susan, you know,
I think we just want different things.
And you know, I was spending,
he was spending more time in Montana.
I was spending more time in Scottsdale
and we were not really seeing each other.
But I said, you know, what if we could fix this?
Would you be all in if we could?
He's like, yeah.
He goes, I don't know how.
We've tried therapy, we've tried this.
I said, okay, here's the deal.
I'll go to this, then you go to the next one.
That's what we'll do.
And that's what we did.
So I went to the first one, he went to the second one,
then we did the advanced course together.
And then it was like, suddenly,
we let go of all this trauma, stuff we were carrying,
and it was like two weekends, and we were like a newlywed couple.
It was crazy.
So that's how I look at solving problems.
When I see someone who is transcended a similar health condition, how they do it, where they
go, one of the best things I heard recently, and it was a guest on Lewis's show. He said, wealthy-minded people,
I want everyone to make sure they hear what I just said, minded, not wealthy. Wealthy-minded people
figure out how to get money and use that money to save time. Poverty-minded people
trade their time for money and often those people will become exhausted broke or more sick in that.
And it comes down to that mindset. So that's how I look at things, whether it's technology, whether it's, you know, no matter what it is, when I'm looking at stock splits, Charles,
So I'm like, okay, what stocks are likely to split?
Right.
And then I start to like go deep in the rabbit hole in that research.
What is the outcome of that?
Do I know anyone who was invested when that
split before?
Can I call them up?
Are they still in that position?
Same thing.
So it's the idea if you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
Yes.
One of the things that we don't talk about
enough is something you're really passionate
about, and I know this is a hard gear shift,
but I want to talk about it.
So I was raised by single parent as well.
And I, the entire world I spent at hospice
was all female and you're doing something
with Paul's AI that was probably the main
reason I wanted to bring you on
the show.
I was like, I want to talk about that because not
only are you doing something where, you know,
you've got internal plumbing and the entire
society doesn't give you a big enough ability to
speak to that.
We talked about this before, less than 2% are
getting funding, but 60% have a better rate.
So it just, it's, it's wild that your side of the
species isn't celebrated more.
But you guys also, if you're blessed enough to live long enough, are going to run into something.
And, you know, we jokingly call it men on pause, because it's not men on pause, it's men on pause,
it's to go away. You have something with pause AI. Can you tell everybody a little bit about that?
And then some of the infrastructure behind that? Yeah, sure. So as we go into this,
this part of the conversation, I don't think it's a hard
pivot because we've been talking a lot about like change in the world and I want everyone to think
about, especially for the guys, is a woman in your life you love. It could be your sister,
it could be a partner, it could be a coworker, colleague, whoever it is, best friend. And menopause is the only inevitable health condition every woman will face.
Not every woman will have a baby, menstruate, all sorts of things.
By 2030, from a TAM perspective, a total addressable market, there will be over
a billion women in menopause globally.
And every woman navigates menopause differently. Some women
have hot flashes, some women don't. Some women gain weight, some don't. Some have brain fog,
some don't. And then we go into Charles, which I knew as an area you're passionate about too,
is cultural differences. So like women from India have different sized blood vessels than white women.
And so none of this has been studied. Up until just over 20 years ago, women weren't allowed
in clinical trials.
So there isn't the data.
And so how the story begins for me is when I, after I had my last baby, I was 38, I started
getting my period for two weeks a month, every year for 13 years.
I was misdiagnosed.
I was told it was PMS.
I was, you know, like every single wrong thing.
And I just suffered in silence because I'm an athlete.
I pushed through.
It was debilitating.
And in 2023, I was invited to speak in New York at the Women in AI event.
What this event is, it's put on by NVIDIA, HP and 32 women.
It's very, very prestigious to get an invitation.
Then what happens is you do this AI collab with these top women from all these companies,
then you go to a fashion show. And there's champagne involved.
So I'm there, I've been suffering,
and we're now on the party bus
to go to the Badzely-Myszka fashion show
and my girlfriends who are VPs,
C-level at these huge hyperskillers,
we're not talking about AI.
And we are the leading women in AI.
Like last year I was voted as one of the top women
in the entire world in real-time AI,
alongside Mira Murty, who is then the CTO of OpenAI.
Mira wasn't there, but we're not talking about AI.
We are talking about how much sleep did you get and do you have hot flashes?
And one of my girlfriends, Charles, goes, can you solve this with AI?
And I was like, I want to solve this with AI,
but you can't build AI models without the right data
and the data doesn't exist.
There are electronic medical records,
but there isn't real data.
So how I went about solving the problem was to say,
we're going to start with a consumer facing application.
So the Paws AI app is available in the app store
in the Play Store. And I'm building like Zuckerberg.
We're pushing features out.
They're ugly.
We're getting the refinement.
We only launched it like six months ago.
And we have a, like we're spending the next,
whenever someone's listening to this,
it'll look different by the time you see it,
but we're spending the next seven weeks
where like my developer team, like all of our engineers,
we're just heads down with all these features because we have some big,
big announcements that are coming out and big collaborations.
And but in order for us to build the three P's,
which are the trifecta of any health care app, which are predictive,
prescriptive, preventative,
we have to create data that doesn't exist anywhere
on the planet.
And so that's what we're doing
and solving it in a different way.
So already our subscribers, almost 90%
improved better wellbeing
and the first 90 days using the platform,
which is amazing.
We have gamification, we have integration wearable.
So women like at their
biofeedback and it's like, oh, my resilience score is whatever it is, this is what you
need to do. And then we have an AI agent that named herself Harmony with an I, we have the
trademark for that. And she'll have the conversation with you and help you feel better if it's
two in the morning and you want to like punch someone or you're having a hot flash, you
can talk to Harmony. And Charles, I'll say from the personal side, women in
this cohort is one of the fastest growing suicide rates in the United States. It is
one of the biggest divorce rates. And men are suffering. I get men messaging me on LinkedIn
all the time, please solve for this. And it breaks apart families. I had one woman tell me that her mother,
when she was in her 50s, committed suicide.
And so this is a big problem to solve.
It keeps me up at night.
Like I try not to work seven days a week,
but I just, I've got to solve it,
got to solve it, got to solve it.
So that's what we're building.
This is the sign of any entrepreneur.
We're like rabid dogs.
What does bite them?
We won't let go of that bone.
This side of the species, since I have external plumbing, what can we do?
What can my side of the species do to help out
with this for the listeners out there?
Cause a lot of the people who listen to the show,
they are married and mausoleum, but they're also
running into that because it is, you've got your
spouse who you adore, who is going through this.
And for us who have external plumbing, it's hard for us to understand.
We're like, we don't understand.
Tony talks about this all the time.
I am not a hairy woman.
You are not a hairless man.
We are not the same creatures.
We are very different creatures.
So from our side, what can we do to help out and to help pause AI or just even our
spouses, like you talked about wearables.
What is the number one wearable that works well for this?
So question.
It's one thing to know your data.
It's another thing to know what to do with it.
And the, I grew up in a Buddhist Jewish Christian
household.
I just want to say there, there are a lot of
people listening who, you know, maybe culturally
you came from a country where women are a little bit more
cloistered.
And I will tell you, in a lot of cultural backgrounds, talking about painful intercourse,
talking about vaginal dryness, women just don't feel comfortable.
And so one of the big pieces around what we've created with the AI agent is you can have
those conversations with her and she can give you the right guidance.
And that's the thing I want to say because there are a lot of men who don't know how
much their partners are suffering, Charles, because it's, you know, women will tough it
out.
And I say the number one thing is having a conversation
and being okay with the conversation.
Number two is, especially as her body is changing,
your body is changing too, Andrew Paz is real.
Mark my words, I will solve Andrew Paz next
because once I solve this, I am gonna solve for men.
Men, when testosterone starts going down, other hormones, there are so many things and I'm gonna solve solve for men. Men, when testosterone starts going down, other hormones,
there are so many things and I'm gonna solve this for men.
Guys, I am coming, I am gonna do this.
It's really important to me as a mother of a son
and a daughter of a single father.
And watching my husband go through it,
coming out the other side, like, you know, thank God.
Have the conversation and know that things are gonna change,
but that's not the time to check out.
It's the time to dig in more.
Sex is going to change,
intimacy is going to change, but the good news is,
we have a lot of resources that those things don't have to change,
but not all women can go on hormone replacement therapy.
There was bad data, bad study,
and over two million women have died so far because they were given bad information.
And that number is growing.
So less than 4% of women in the United States are on hormone replacement therapy.
Some women can't.
If they've gone through cancer, it doesn't mean they can't do other things.
And so we have the conversation, go out for dinner, go for a walk and say, you know, are you having symptoms?
What can I do?
And my, you know, my ask is, of course,
I want every woman, the 50 million women in Menopause
to be using our app.
We want the feedback where women found a company.
The leading period tracking app was founded by two guys.
So definitely women, you know, kudos to them.
We are a female founded company, that's one.
Number two, you know, we are going into benefits.
We already have customers lined up.
So if you are an SMB and you want to have an accessible
like plug and play benefit that women can just get
and you can just give them.
This is a gift. Reach out to us through the Paws.ai website.
Now I'm just saying, if you love the women in your life, please go to this website.
We need to solve this, please. And yes, for on the guy side, it's amazing because I know
menopause as a word. Like that's a word that's very, I know that word. Then you said the male version
of that word. And I was like, I've never heard that word. I was like, you haven't heard of
andropause? Nope. The, the, the ignorance in my side of the species. Like we don't, we just don't
even talk about men, especially, I mean, some of us change our EQ, right? We were, we have evolved,
some of us been blessed to have your side of the species in our lives
and it changes our trajectory of our lives.
But as a whole, you know, we, at least for me
in my generation, you didn't cry.
It was always, you know, if you get up, you will,
I'll give you a reason to cry.
I remember when the Lion King came out
and I just bawled.
I was like, what?
No, shut up.
Dude, it's taken a while.
Luckily I've been blessed by your side of the species
to open that side of me up.
And I had a dear friend of mine, he was like, he was men don't cry. I was like, cool, give me a while. Luckily, I've been blessed by your side of the species to open that side of me up. And I had a dear friend of mine, he was like,
he was, men don't cry.
I was like, cool, give me a second.
I called up a buddy of mine who's an operator.
I was like, form a Navy SEAL.
Tell him he's not a man when he starts crying.
I dare you.
I wish you the best of luck.
So it's just this idea that you can be in touch
with it, but also being comfortable that there
is a side of us that we need to let out and have
that testosterone let go.
We need to be able to find that balance in a healthy way.
So there is that finding that balance on both sides,
but the ignorance that exists on what happens for men on our side,
I don't even know what we're in for.
If I could do a quick PSA for men, and I'm not talking about prostate,
so the symptoms of underpaws are very similar to PMS for women.
So moodiness, crying when it's like I've never been a crier.
And yes, it's great you're emotionally in touch, but it's like suddenly you're crying and there's kittens in the, you know, or the Bud Riser horses or something that's not normal.
Of course, the-
But we're watching the news.
Yeah, sorry. Yeah. Erectile dysfunction is another symptom of
the andropause, brain fog, low libido, low drive.
And I am going to solve this.
This is my life's work.
It is, I am going to solve it.
It is, and I'm going to solve it fast.
The big thing for the guys listening
is there are things you can do naturally
to raise your testosterone, not just injecting the tea,
the interval training, even things like,
I know this sounds crazy, but watching movies
that are like, you know, have fighting and Game of Thrones
and all that stuff, watching sporting events,
doing that kind of stuff
we would traditionally call guy stuff.
And the problem is there's been this movement where men are being told that that stuff's
not good, but it actually is, that's how the species was designed.
And so my message to guys, if you're feeling all this stuff, it doesn't mean you just go
buy a Harley and mortgage your house.
It's more than likely go get your blood tested.
And that's why we're seeing,
like going back to the investment conversation.
One of the things I'm researching with my GPT
are what stocks are gonna benefit the most
of both menopause and andropause
and men having those, you know,
actually waking up and going, Hey,
wait a minute. I'm not supposed to feel like this. So I think this is such an exciting time
in technology and investments and exciting time to be solving problems. And of course,
like anyone listening, if you want to connect, reach out, you know, I'd love to, um, we would
love the support. That was literally my next question. If someone wants to track down,
because there's so much more,
and you and I could probably talk about this
for days and days, and I have so many other ways
I wanna go, but I wanna be respectful of your time.
If someone wants to track you down,
if someone's like, oh my God, I wanna do this,
I wanna help out, I wanna learn more about AI,
I wanna learn how to invest,
I wanna learn how to help out the women in my life,
I am a woman, I wanna be helped out there.
If someone wants to track you down,
what's the best way to get ahold of you?
Yeah, absolutely.
If you're interested in having a menopause benefit
that's accessible, then just go to the pause.ai,
do the contact form.
That is gonna come to me.
I'll see it through the marketing team.
If you're interested in having me come in
and as someone who's scaled AI
and do a workshop with your company,
just go to suzSly.com.
And then I'm on all the socials. I'm on Instagram. I haven't done anything on X in a while. I
had one TikTok video go viral. It was one of my AI robotics videos and I haven't done
much with TikTok because I've just been heads down building product. I'm on LinkedIn almost
every day. But follow me on Insta And that's a great way to reach out.
And what are your hangouts?
At Susan Sly.
That's what I was looking for.
So it's at Susan Sly.
Susan, this has been a wonderful conversation.
I'm really glad there's so much more I wanna ask you
about your respect for time.
Thank you so much for coming on the show.
I really appreciate it.
Well, thank you, Charles.
And I love everything you're doing in the world.
And I would just encourage everyone to go back
and listen to some of the other episodes because everything builds on each other. When you see someone who's
created a $30 million revenue stream or when you see someone who's overcome the odds,
every day we want to be learning and growing. Charles, you know, Charles's podcast is amazing. My podcast is slightly
different, Raw and Real Entrepreneurship. We've had some of the similar guests. So if you love
Jeremy's episode, I did an episode with Jeremy where he doesn't swear. So you could check that
out. But yeah, that's my show. I have no idea you got Jeremy not to swear. I still have that
problem with him every day. Yeah, I said, listen, dude, we're both parents
and I have kids listening to the show
and I get messages from parents that play my show
in the car with their kids.
And I said, so that's why.
And yeah, Steve Sims didn't swear, Brandon Steiner, no.
Yeah.
It's impressive that you got through these guys
not to swear.
Hey, we made it almost all the way through mine.
I haven't sworn yet, so we're doing well.
Thank you, Susan. I really appreciate you.
Thanks so much.
Thanks, Charles.
That concludes this episode of The Proving Podcast.
