Starting point is 00:00:00 This episode with Omar was really cool. So Omar listens to the pod, but he also creates these incredible Disney-style content. Disney-style images. Literally, it feels like you're in Pixar. And these are the type of things that you can create for your startup, for your business, for content that could actually drive tons of revenue for your business. Marketing is about storytelling. and if you know how to use these AI tools like Leonardo AI, Kling AI, and what prompts to do,
Starting point is 00:00:36 you are going to clean up. So this episode is a really special one. He goes and does a tutorial of a lot of these AI tools and we sprinkle in a bunch of startup ideas throughout the episode that you can start today that generate revenue and cash flow using some of these tools. I hope you enjoy the episode. Okay, Omar, I've got one question and one question only. What are we building today? We're building full workflows today using AI avatars. I'm going to have a ton of business ideas that you can start immediately with zero employees.
Starting point is 00:01:25 You know, you know that's music to our ears here on this podcast, right? No, no, I know. By the end of this video, what are people going to get out of this episode? man as a audience member of myself i know what i like to get out of your episodes so by the end of this episode you'll be able to assemble an ai SaaS product that can literally print you cash all right let's get into it cool man so we got here a couple screenshots by the way so you might recognize this this is you this is gregg sipping on some like good stuff um so we've put together this little uh i avatar video which we which will share in a bit um and all this stuff is generated with
Starting point is 00:02:06 AI, right? And so I've really become obsessed with this idea of kind of AI avatars recently. You know, I do a lot of AI with my children. You know, we'll be doing it from since the first time CHAPT came out. We would just be playing with like, you know, so many different tools to the point that they literally like wake up in the morning and before school want to do AI, which for them is creating images now. And so it forces me to level up my game. And as I'm leveling up my game, I'm realizing that, wow, like not only is a real problem or at least an opportunity as a parent to like create imagery and do something with it, but it's also a really cool space in general. And so I think there's a few ideas that we can dive into that I think are not necessarily
Starting point is 00:02:46 in the in the children's space because I didn't want to make it too niche for that. The kind of ideas in general that you can apply across, you know, many different verticals using the same type of tools and principles. So I'm going to give you some demos and some prompts that you can jump into and then hopefully just play with straight away and build some products. So this is just to recap on what we just said with Greg. So what we're going to build today, we're basically going to do full workflows of business ideas that you can start with AI avatars. And literally, you don't need anyone to do this with you. There will be a part of the demo we'll go to where I'll explain how you can bring on, you know, a developer and engineer to help you when some
Starting point is 00:03:25 things do get a little bit more, you know, complex. Or you could watch one of Greg's videos with Riley, for example, and then, you know, watch how to do on cursor. But you can literally do this type of stuff without needing anyone. So we'll go through that. And then I literally mean it, like these type of products that you can build from this stuff. I'll show you some examples of guys that have done similar workflows, albeit, you know, they're well into this AI space, but effectively SaaS products that can literally, you know, to print you cash, recurring revenue, a product that's on there that people genuinely, genuinely want to use, you know. And I also feel that as I'm using AI, like I said with my children, there are products out there that if they
Starting point is 00:04:02 existed, I would be using them myself and I'll be paying for them every month. And so I'm going to try and build those. Cool. So just before we get into it, I wanted to tear a little sheet out of Greg's playbook. And I know Greg, you speak about this type of stuff quite a bit, but I think it's an important, you know, principle to just, you know, ruin the ground to really help us understand the type of opportunity and space that we're living in right now. I think like the three kind of key areas that we have in business, typically with tech products, you have the product itself, so the application. You have the marketing sort of part of the business and then you have the operations. And I think there's kind of been this massive transition recently. And I think
Starting point is 00:04:42 the key elements that I've played a part in that have been, you know, COVID, which is completely like, you know, shaking the way, you know, businesses would operate. And then, of course, you know, AI itself. And I also think there's been a big marketing shift as well in terms of how we connect the brands. So let's just lay the kind of map out with. With, we, we're product really, you know, to the traditional playbook and even the way I would see it, you know, as I got into business, was that you had to raise VC capital. It took you years to launch a product. Like my first product, I raised Angel round four. I must have taken like two years maybe to like get the product out, overthinking so many different things, hiring software engineers, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:22 which obviously cost a lot. And it was just one of those things that just felt like it was normal. That's what you had to do, right? And then with marketing, it was similar. You know, you needed something social media budget, a creative team. If not, you'd have professional advertising or an agency you'd bring on to help you out. And then even the marketing angle was kind of like the seasonal big campaigns, momentum, you know, gearing up to like a special thing,
Starting point is 00:05:47 type of method. And then operationally, you know, you're really hiring talent for productivity, you know, to actually get stuff done, right? And so you needed people to actually make progress. So, you know, you could all work together and actually, you know, push the business along. You then need the office space because working was a physical thing more than remote.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And product cycles, as general, come back to the first point, were really dragged out, which meant that the cost then also became dragged out, right? And so you're spending a lot of money keeping all these people on board to then produce a product and then get it out into the market. And then I think these three kind of shifts happened very recently, like I said, with COVID and with AI and the way marketing has changed. And so I think there's been like a big technical shift with product, like an audience shift with marketing and then a cultural shift with operations. And so the technical shift of product, I think is being especially, you know, credited to AI.
Starting point is 00:06:43 You know, you can build products instantly. And I think the more and more people are hearing the word AI because it's around every day now, you know, it's like the buzzword of the century in a sense. You know, but we mustn't become desensitized to how powerful it is. And so that's just really important to iterate that. You know, we're not in a state where you have to take ages, building products. And you could also do it at a low cost and with zero employees. You know, you don't need engineers anymore. You don't need to spend tons of money doing it.
Starting point is 00:07:11 You can just get out there and start right away, which is what we're going to do today. Quick break in the pod to tell you a little bit about startup empire. So startup empire is my private membership where it's a bunch of people like me, like you, who want to build out their startup ideas. Now, they're looking for content to help accelerate that. They're looking for potential co-founders. They're looking for tutorials from people like me to come in and tell them, how do you do email marketing?
Starting point is 00:07:43 How do you build an audience? How do you go viral on Twitter? All these different things. That's exactly what startup empire is. And it's for people who want to start a startup but are looking for ideas. Or it's for people who have a startup, but just they're not seeing the traction that they need. So you can check out the link to startup empire.com in the description.
Starting point is 00:08:06 And they completely shifted the way audiences work as well. So the solopreneurs are super cool now, man. Like I think a big, you know, part of that or a big kind of time stamp, I think was, you know, you probably agree, Greg, was when Peter levels was on Lex Friedman, right? That was like, wow, like I've been following Peter for ages, been seeing his staff. You know, you can put, you know, Danny Post mine that. chat as you've had them on the pod, I think Mark Lou as well, these type of guys, man, super creative, great solopreneurs,
Starting point is 00:08:33 but are like pushing into that kind of mainstream era now and both from a personality perspective, but also from a, you know, solopreneur as a, you know, a way of working perspective. And that's because their transparency, you know, they literally are showing how much money they're making, they're telling their story as they're doing it, and people are engaged with that on like a daily level, right?
Starting point is 00:08:54 So it's always on marketing. a campaign, not gearing up to one time when they're going to show you behind the curtains. And I think the interesting thing with this as well is like you're seeing this happening corporate now, especially with, you've seen like, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the W.E. and U.S.C. kind of merger with TKO. And even the way WWE do their marketing is all based on this always on storytelling, engaging your audience behind the curtain type of technique. And you're seeing a, you know, a billion-dollar organization do that. And you're seeing solopreneurs starting from zero doing that.
Starting point is 00:09:25 And I think it's very interesting and it's actually very empowering, you know, that we can all do that. And people really do engage with that. And I think the cultural shift to operations has been this whole kind of remote working versus office costs, which has become a huge thing now. You literally don't have to pay anyone to be inside a physical space. You can do remote work with them. From all over the world, there's talent. And my CTO is in Armenia, you know, I've what people I work with in the States, in the UK. Like, it's just everywhere. And people are very, very used to working like that now. and also with less people you build faster, so it's much more lean. And so this I found very interesting, by the way, so I thought I throw it up with a nice picture of Greg.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I was watching Col's pod actually today, and I loved it, man. It was really, really good. I learned a ton of stuff. So I do recommend you guys watch that. And it was interesting because Cole touched on these two kind of ways to use AI tools. And one of them was conversationalally, and one of them was to kind of create these master prompts. So conversational being the just, you know, back and forth with chat GBT, and the master prompts being like one large prompt to give you like a solid output.
Starting point is 00:10:27 And I think both of those are absolutely perfect. But I did have something to add to that. So I thought, seeing as we've just had that episode recall, let's add a third layer to that kind of way of using AI. And I call that sequential prompting, right? And so this third technique called sequential prompting is what we're going to go into today. And the way I want you to kind of think about this is chat GPT can, you know, and I think I did this in my last video with you, Greg, as well, where you can use chat GPT as a way to kind of tell you itself how to communicate with itself, right? So, like, you can speak to chat GBT and ask it, okay, can you
Starting point is 00:11:03 give me a prompt to do such and such? And then it'll give you the prompt, and then you can feed that prompt back in and get the thing you want, right? And so sometimes we overthink, you know, the idea of creating a perfect prompt, but you can actually get it out of the system. But what's interesting with sequential prompting is basically like you're creating, you're speaking to chat GPD to generate a new prompt that you're not necessarily going to be using inside chat GBT. And so if you think about other AI tools, you know, with with the avatars, you've got things like Leonardo AI, Kling AI, there's a different kind of AI models you can use, 11 labs. All of those have the ability for you to prompt, right?
Starting point is 00:11:41 And so you need to put something in there to get an output. And really chat GPD can give you that. So if you now look at chat GPD as a way of getting a new prompt, you then take that prompt. you then take that prompt and you go to a second layer, which is you're using that new prompt in a different AI tool to generate another output. So that AI tool is now giving you something else. So in this case, it might be an image like Leonardo AI will.
Starting point is 00:12:02 And then you can take that image and you can carry that on, however many sequences and kind of Lego bricks you want to add. You can do that. You can make the video and animate with KlingaI. You can add voiceovers with 11 labs, you know. And so you can do this kind of process. And it all happens in this kind of sequence. and then you kind of connect those prompts and tools together with a front end user experience, right?
Starting point is 00:12:25 And we can go a little bit into that, but I did some of that in the last video as well. So, you know, once you got all of that, you kind of can build these very complicated, quote-unquote, not complicated in terms of, you know, building them, complicated in terms of, you know, different tools that you're stitching together. But the way you would start is by doing this manually, right? So you do a manual process of talking to these AI tools, and then you can be, have a framework where you can, you know, connect these all up using automation tools, Zapio and make, or if it's more complex, you can do what I said earlier and maybe bring
Starting point is 00:12:57 on, like, one engineer and get them to help you stitch it together. And so simply, this is what the stat kind of used to look like. You used to kind of have, you know, let's say you're creating content for social media. You'd have a physical person doing all of these roles. So the content writer, graphic designer, social media manager, chief marketing officer, so many, you know, of these roles were physical people, then in our office, you know, and we have to, we have to realize that there's kind of new, you know, opportunities on table. There's a whole new set of rules and we kind of have to, we're kind of forced really to rewire the way we think. We can't just accept that the old way of doing things is the best way of doing things. It might
Starting point is 00:13:36 still be very, you know, productive and get the job done. But nowadays, especially if you're like me and you're trying to build stuff on your own and kind of, you just want to sprint with your own ideas. You can literally do the exact same job as like five or six people using AI tools, right, like chat GPT, Leonardo, et cetera. So that's what I want to go in today. So hopefully we can get into some demo building and I can show you how this stuff works in practice. Beautiful. Yeah, so let's get into the first business idea because I think like this is super cool. I find, you know, like most of you guys, I use chat GPT or Claude AI. And when I started creating these kind of image avatars, I became very, you know, curious about how you can go more and more in
Starting point is 00:14:20 depth and customize these AI avatars, but also control the output in a sense. Like if you just, you know, ask chat GPT to create you an image using Dali, it can go, you know, every prompt can go in different directions. And so you kind of do need a prompt structure, right? And so I have this prompt structure that I've written on how you can create an avatar. So that's the first thing that we're going to start with. And then we'll go into different business models that you can do using these type of avatars, right? So, we have this prompt over here that you can just copy up. If you guys want this, so if you're in my community, you can just go to the code and prompt
Starting point is 00:14:57 universe and grab it. But if you're not, you can also jump on the newsletter, just enter your email, and I'll just send it to you for free. So you can just get this like from here and just copy, paste it. So you take this prompt, and then you're going and go into chat GPT and just paste it. Okay, and so just to break down the prompt, all is telling chat GPT, I always get tongue twisted with chat GPT. You want to do, you want to get it to customize, sorry, you want to get it to take an image that you might give it of, you know, a child or a person. And then you want it to give you a description of that person as a prompt, right?
Starting point is 00:15:40 And that prompt is what we'll use as kind of the consistency of the character. let's say you were creating something where there was a story you were telling. So let me just open up actually what we did with Greg. So you guys can see over here. Greg, can you hear this by the way? This is great. Yeah, yeah. All right, cool.
Starting point is 00:15:58 So let me play this actually because this might be good context. So I stitched this video together and I'll show you guys kind of how I did it. But the process started with this one prompt. Okay. And so you'll watch you and you get an idea of what I think AI can look like. if you're creating stories for like, you know, kids, for example. Greg and his magic cup, a teeny tale's tale. This is Greg.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Greg loves exploring new ideas in his magical treehouse. Today, something extraordinary caught his eye. A golden cup glowing with a rainbow light. What could this be? He wondered. Greg took a sip from the magical golden. cup and brouche. A vibrant rainbow glow surrounded him.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Suddenly, bright ideas started swirling in his mind. AI robots, cool inventions, and ways to make the world a better. It's literally like a Disney, Pixar universe. Right. Yeah, that's what's wild, man, right? It's crazy that you can even do this stuff, don't you think? Yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:17:14 I just, it almost feels like it's obviously super hyped, but it's underhyped relative to how, how much this is going to change things and how much opportunity there is to use this for content. Right. To tell stories. So I'm just excited to get into this. So what we'll do is, we have this prompt. And to start the prompt, you're going to have to give it a, sorry, an image reference. Right. And so if I go over here, I'll give it an image of my son, right? So this is my son. I'm going to throw him in. And so you give an image reference and you'll give it a name. So you'll say this character's name is, you know, Cairo. He is three and mail. Okay. So there's the only three elements you're going to change these three parts here. The rest of it, you can need the same. Because a prompt basically just gives chat GPT some options of start. of haircuts, skin tones, accessories, etc. So it knows kind of how to, you know, structure this. And then we give it a little bit of a guidance here
Starting point is 00:18:24 of what type of output we want. So we wanted to tell us the character's name, the age, give us a prompt structure that we can then use in Leonardo AI, which would be the next step to actually generate the image. So back to my point earlier, this is where the sequence starts, right? We send this chat GPT, and we just want a prompt that we can then copy and paste into another AI tool. And so if you're thinking about this from a technical perspective,
Starting point is 00:18:50 if you actually have like a single prompt that Chat GPT can give you and you're connecting to, let's say, chat GPT's API, it can programmatically send that prompt to another tool, right? So I'm doing this manually right now. And so I would 100% suggest doing this process manually because as you're doing it manually, you can change things in your prompt. You can see how the, you know, you can kind of do a lot more iteration as fast feedback loop.
Starting point is 00:19:15 But when you're happy with it, I'm happy with how we've got it right now, I know that this output is the only piece of text I need to then be able to generate the image. All of this other information here is basically the options that ChatGPT has chosen based on their image, it's assessed, right? Because ChatGPT has the ability
Starting point is 00:19:32 for you to upload an image, and you can read the image. Okay? So he reads the image, then it gives me the description of his hairstyle and everything. So he even picks his outfit for me, and it puts it all together, right? And so now I've got this.
Starting point is 00:19:47 This will be used as kind of the consistency in the character if we were to create a story or a narrative going forward. We would use this description of him so that we can have a consistent character every time. Okay? And so what we actually need is right now is this description here. So this is a prompt. So chat GPT has now given me a prompt,
Starting point is 00:20:07 which I can take into Leonardo AI, which is this tool here. So you can go to leonado. com. you can see these kind of fun images we've created already. You can even do Simpson-style's images. This is crazy, man, right? So funny.
Starting point is 00:20:22 You can just paste in the prompt, hit generate. And so you can usually be another AI for free. They give you some tokens, but I think it's like $20. They'll give you like another $8,000. And on your settings, you can kind of keep them as is. The prompt enhance, actually, you can switch off. So let me try again without the process. prompt enhance, and we'll make it 16 by 9, so we get like a widescreen image.
Starting point is 00:20:49 But you can already see how cool it is. Just this simple prompt that chat GPT has given us plugged into Leonardo AI. And Leonardo AI, so has an API. And so that means that we can connect to Leonardo's API and generate images programmatically, meaning somebody could use a user interface to upload their image of their child in this case, we will then connect with ChatGPT's API and run this prompt. So we just give this prompt to the API. It then spits out the prompt that we're looking for, and then we take that prompt, and
Starting point is 00:21:23 we give that to Leonardo's API. And so we're kind of this, obviously, this chat GPT has done this in a few seconds. Leonardo had generated images within a few seconds. So literally, probably within like 10 seconds, if somebody's using like a front end that you've designed on Webflow or frame or wherever it is, they can get like an image of their child like this. So that's just a frame in your mind how these kind of things connect together for you to get an output. And so you can see here, now we've got an image literally from a photo we uploaded here. And we're pretty happy with that. And that's literally how to create, that's the basics of how to
Starting point is 00:21:58 create an AI avatar. Dude, it's, it's ridiculous. Like, look at it. Look at it. Like how incredible that looks. Yeah, so high res man. It's just insane, isn't it? honestly. And how fast? It took, it took like what, like four seconds? Yeah, man. Yeah, yeah, literally. So quick. It's like, that's what makes exciting to like build these things into like APIs and to do things with it because of speed. And I remember these, these things were like, it wasn't that long ago that I was playing with these tools and they were much slower, not as good quality. But like, I actually think even now like, what I've just shown you with the video, while going to it in a minute, like generating a five second video clip right now, it takes about four minutes. but really by the time SORA is out there
Starting point is 00:22:43 they're going to connect that to the API Open AI will do that you'll have all these other tools that are going to just absolutely accelerate so I think you know it's a matter of time before everything just becomes like that
Starting point is 00:22:53 right? Yeah and it's just the and we'll get into it but the startup ideas on top of this like it's cool that we're just doing this and you know getting output and but you know there's tons of businesses that could be built
Starting point is 00:23:08 on top of it one thing that it got you know this got me thinking of is I remember when I was 13 years old I had a a birthday party and my my dad had a shop and there was someone who worked at the shop who was like a graph who was good at graphic design and we actually took for the invite of the birthday party we took a scene from the simpsons this is in 2002 I guess a scene from the simpsons and then they put my face and like in a TV where like the Simpsons were all watching it and like gave it to my friends and they were all like, wow, this is like the coolest birthday invite ever, right? It blew their mind. This is like before Photoshop became popular and stuff like that. Think about that, you know, in today in 2025. It's like, you know, invites to parties, right? You know, is just one idea around like if you can make invites more of a story and more interesting, you know, would people, you know, would people? people be willing to pay for that. And I think that at the end of the day, like, what are you doing here?
Starting point is 00:24:15 You are storytelling and the way your story telling is through animation. And the style is Pixar, Disney. But it is like any human being is going to look at any of these images and fall in love with it, frankly, because, you know, it's a it's a tried and tested way of communicating information in this like 3D format. So yeah, I'm excited about some of the business opportunities on top of it. Man, you literally read my mind there, Greg, because here under business idea, too, people love when Simpsons predict things. Imagine instead of that, Simpson's style is that reacting to things. And so, like, people can do it just for fun or for the wow factor. And so that's so funny that literally you did that in 2002. But that's exactly that, man.
Starting point is 00:25:06 It's like, you know, I find that so interesting because I think you can actually, you can do it for just for fun. or invites or you might have a moment with your friends. Let's say, I don't know, you were chilling with them and something embarrassing happened or they went out and whatever something happened, you could literally, or you went to like a stag where, you know, the guys on a holiday, you could just put together like a storyboard of like your time either based on photos
Starting point is 00:25:29 or you could just like prompted and you can send it to someone in your group chat, you know, as like a funny moment that happened. You know, there's 100%. There's all these kind of like, you know, utility, utilities that you could build off it. Man. And I think, you know, the time is now in the sense that not everyone is, you know, is using these tools well. Like a lot of people are using the tools, but they're not prompting it. Yeah. At this level of quality. So there's an opportunity to build a lot of awareness really quickly right now. So 100% man. And I think it's brilliant. You said the point that you made because actually the business idea number one was exactly that, which is. how can you have these characters and basically create some sort of like, you know, utility off the back of it, a bit like the way, you know, you had, I don't know the business
Starting point is 00:26:21 which would basically create custom greeting cards, like Moon Pig, you know, things like that. I think moonpig.com, I think it is, or is it UK. But basically you could, yeah, so you could kind of create your own, you know, custom cards, right? Yeah. Which obviously is so, like, dated now as well as like a, even as a user experience, right? Like just imagine going straight into a builder, right, where you're creating the moment or the card or the greeting or the image, you know, or even you create the image and then you can connect it to other like, you know, tools to be able to do things with it, which again will come into. But I think that's really fun, man. It's like, you know, how can you create the AI version of moonpig.com?
Starting point is 00:27:02 And I think that's fascinating because these image generation tools can literally allow it to do that. And I think for kids, there was this one called Hooray Heroes. My daughter has a book from Hoorah Heroes. This is actually what inspired me with their kids' imagery stuff because she has this book that she got when she was one years old. My wife made it for her. And she fell in love with the book. And it's like it's ripped in certain pages or whatever,
Starting point is 00:27:25 but she's so obsessed with a book. Is there a website that? And literally you can just build your own, wow, what a terrible sight, right? Man, deal my head in. Okay, anyway, you can be able to be. They were basically custom books like this, right? But they still got illustrators.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Like I was looking at the credits in their book and they have illustrators they work with. And I was like, that's crazy, man. Like this business basically just probably has so many overheads and costs that you can just like rip out like that now. So yeah, I think it's super interesting doing things like that. And I think, by the way, also from a marketing perspective, Greg, I think like memeifying moments is also really interesting.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Like if you're just trying to create like a, you have these meme pages right now, obviously in general that tweet and they would basically jump on the things that are popping right now like today's thing there was a thing every day right and so today's thing was like Mark Zuckerberg checking out
Starting point is 00:28:21 you know Jeff Bezos's misses right like that was the thing today and so like you know every day there's a thing like when Elon Musk came out with Trump rally he was like jumping in the air that was like the thing of the day you know and so like could you use moments like that and memeify them just to even create a feed
Starting point is 00:28:37 where you're just doing that and like that might even be interesting It could be used as like an indirect way of, you know, get a marketing for this other tool you have where people can, you know, create their own avatars and do their own, you know, images from. A few thoughts. One is Moon Pig, which I've never heard of, does $400 million
Starting point is 00:28:57 and increasing every single year, $400 million a year of revenue. So this is like a huge business. Absolutely huge. It sounds like they're really big. in the UK. And so, you know, when you look at some of these ideas, they might seem like kitschy and like fun.
Starting point is 00:29:20 It's like, okay, yeah, like maybe I'll use that once or, you know, yeah, you know, yeah, maybe it's a little gift, but gifts are big business. Yeah. The gift business is huge. That's a great idea, man. That's a great idea, right? I imagine you could create, because the images are generated so fast. What if you could work with chat GPT to actually create like literally.
Starting point is 00:29:39 maybe just a slight movement for like five or six clips and then to generate those through Leonardo and stitch them together. You can literally create jiffs with these type of images. Could we do something fun right now? Yeah, sure. That's what we're here for, man. One of the things I like to do is, you know, okay, we've got this insight. There's an opportunity to create an AI first version of Moon Pig. let's prompt GPT or prompt Clode
Starting point is 00:30:12 and say I want you to act as my co-founder You there? Yeah. I'm sorry. I want you to act as? I want you to act as my co-founder. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I want to create a AI-first version of Moon Pig. How do we describe Moon Pig in one sentence. We should describe Moon Pig. Moon Pig is. Moon Pig Company.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Does it say Moon Pig, Wiki, maybe? Is it on Wikipedia? I got, Moon Pig, Internet based business. Personalized greeting cards. Personalized greeting cards, yeah. Moon Pig creates personalized greeting cards.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah. I found out that using Leonardo plus this prompt, we should include the prompt. Yeah, the prompt above, Jose. The prompt above, right? You can create compelling stories with these 3D characters. And then the question is, what does an AI first version of, Moon Pig look like
Starting point is 00:31:59 that could generate me $10 million a year of cash flow and then let's see what happens and you know sometimes you get some good stuff sometimes you get some bad stuff but I just find that it's great it's helpful yeah I love that
Starting point is 00:32:18 you know what I'm saying like here we go I'm ready I'm already getting tingly so for the people listening on audio you know, some AI-driven features, dynamic character and scene creation, AI-generated stories, turn every card into a mini-story. For example, Caden, the Brave Explorer, celebrated his first thing. I asked my son's name, so I obviously remember that from somewhere.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Amazing. AI-enhanced templates, offer dynamic templates that adapt in real-time based on user inputs, such as preferred tone, voice and video integration, let users add, you know, generated voiceovers or short animated videos. Smart recommendations. Okay, revenue streams. This is literally a business plan. Like, this is an actual business plan. Crazy. Premium card sales. So they sell for between $5 to $10. A.I. Driven personalization justifies a 20, 30% markup over traditional cards. Good to know. Monthly memberships, $10 to $15 a month for unlimited cards, upselling gifts, matching items, five.
Starting point is 00:33:28 flowers, chocolates, that's good. Okay, technology, it gives you the technology stack. Right, wow. Okay, the marketing and growth strategy, social media, stuff like that. And you can, you know, we won't do it today, but you can like double click into those things. Ooh, let's go up. Let's see the, yeah. Projections.
Starting point is 00:33:48 The projections. So the key assumption is the card price is $7. The KAC is $15 a customer, which, by the way, isn't crazy if you're, you know, using, you know, I think right now in terms of paid ads, like there's probably a bunch of formats where you can use these 3D, you know, characters and people, like, you'll get your cacked out. It's just like very engaging. Add-on sales. Okay, so 200,000 users purchase an average of five cards annually, 7 million, add-on sales, 10 million total revenue.
Starting point is 00:34:24 So, you know, it gives you, oh, and exit potential. It says that you can even sell. That's so funny. Greg, you should just create like an Avengers of like SIP, put together your Avengers and just like document the journey of you just creating something like this. It's so funny. It's really, yeah. The other thing I do sometimes is I'll say, this looks great.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Put this into a PRD that I can show to my, that I can. can show to my team. PRD stands for product requirement document. So this is something that, this is a document that you can show to an engineering team, a product team, an agency if you want to outsource the work. Oh, yeah. Just mad, right? And then it just, it gives it to you, man.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Man. You're teaching me, Greg. I love this type of stuff, man. I'm not always using chat GPT for such technical purposes, but it's really fun to see these other things. So, so you would just like take this to your team. I'd like, yeah, great, man. Hey, I've got an idea for something.
Starting point is 00:35:46 I want to get your feedback on it. And I actually tweeted about this yesterday, but sometimes what we'll do is we'll have a product meeting and in the meeting we'll literally use Replit or Bolt or Lovable. to actually, you know, build what the prototype looks like and then be like, what do we think about this by the end of the meeting, like in the meeting. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:36:07 That's the best way of doing it. It's like, because you want to feel it. So even the point you're making, man, like I definitely align with that. Even as a designer, like the first thing I do when I start to play with things with with chat GPT and do these things manually, like even the process I've just shown you, like, I'll do that manually. But then my brain goes into a state of like, let me just create some sort of interface that we can interact with.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Absolutely. Yeah, I actually did, for this one, we did create. This was like maybe a year ago when I first started playing with it. This is the brand we put together, teeny tails. And so I designed this. So you could say like, you know, the child's name, date of birth, upload their image, hit continue. So it's just like some UI. You know, where will they go today?
Starting point is 00:36:49 What happens? You know, what's the theme of the story? And you can hit like, or you could press that magic tale and it would like imagine something for you. And so this is like what I mean by like with Moon Pig. It should land you straight into an experience and let you just go through it. And I think a lot of people, I think a lot of landing pages sometimes assume that a person's kind of like thick and like needs a lot of explanation. But really people just want the thing and want to figure it out. And a lot of people learn through using it.
Starting point is 00:37:18 And so I think this would be pretty cool. You hit generate tail and they'll do like this building your tail type of, you know, interface. And you kind of like sign up afterwards. But yeah, we'll, like, create the story. You could change the cover. It will, like, go to Leonardo AI, generate a new cover, then, like, throw a new one up for you. And you could, like, so it kind of engages the audience and the kids as well at the same time.
Starting point is 00:37:41 And then you could, like, read your tale. And that's sign up at this stage. And then we had, like, this editor, which is, again, like super fun. Actually, let me do it again. Is this live? Yeah, I mean, you could go to a URL, actually. but it's not it's not like it doesn't work because i haven't connected up to anything i just built like the front end uh but yeah so this is basically like a thank you bro so um yeah i was just
Starting point is 00:38:08 experimenting with stuff like this man just to see what it felt like um and then to get feedback from my kids and stuff as well so um yeah so literally you could you know go between slides you know change the cover edit the text you know if you wanted to um change the title up here and then you you know, you could edit moments and then, you know, redo the tail and, you know, maybe play a narration or something from here. And so the idea is like, you know, could, you know, could we basically connect all these tools using that kind of sequential prompting process, which is really like, if you hit update tail in the background, it's literally just doing the whole flow, chat GPT, Leonardo,
Starting point is 00:38:44 et cetera, et cetera, and then like feeding you the content through its API, but you can just design an experience, which to the point I was making of the gentleman that was on your pod, that taste or that kind of presentation has such a big impact on the value people put on a product. And I think that's what's exciting. That's at least a space that I really enjoy being in is like how can we add, you know, a user experience to these AI models because the AI models themselves are so exciting to work with. But as soon as you can create like a brand and interface around that, that's where you can knock off like your moon pigs and stuff of the world
Starting point is 00:39:19 because, you know, you can be quicker, faster, think it through from scratch, you know, and yeah, and it's really just AI workflow in the background. Yeah, it gets me thinking that, so if you, what do you call it, a sequential prompt? Is that what you called it? Yeah. Like if you come up with a great sequential prompt and you've stitched together some of these workflows,
Starting point is 00:39:44 you can build teeny tails, but you can also build teeny tales for, you know, you mentioned memes, teeny tales for memes. teeny tales for you know b to be social content or b to see social content like these are all like um kind of niche ideas around that whole workflow that you can go and build that all have several million dollar a year opportunities to build around and so that's also really exciting right now and then it's like well so someone might be listening to this and be like yeah but can't, you know, Leonardo just do this or chat GPT just do this?
Starting point is 00:40:28 And it's like, yeah, I mean, they could. And Leonardo is going to make it easier and easier for people to find prompts because they want people to ultimately get as much value from the product as possible. But if you're like, I saw what you did with teeny tails of the front end. Like, it's very specific to the use case that you're going after. Exactly, exactly. And yeah, that's it. That's exactly it, man. If you really think about chat GPT in general as a product,
Starting point is 00:40:57 it's just a UI layer on top of OpenAI's LLM model, right? It's just the fact that obviously they have that moat and, you know, it's their product, you know, et cetera. But like really, all of these things are just built UI layers on top of an LLM model. And so I think that's where brand comes into where, like we said earlier, marketing, the storytelling is very interesting. And I think there's, you know, and especially where you can find these interesting opportunities,
Starting point is 00:41:20 like all the business models you just mentioned are almost things that probably haven't even existed before, you know, like could you find a way of, I find the fact that, you know, I guess I have kind of a very heavy parent mindset right now because I'm literally watching three kids grow up, you know, but they're learning about new things in their school that they're not necessarily engaged in like, especially historical things, you know, just things that they have to learn because in the curriculum, but then I read, I go through those things with them with AI. So like if they're learning about, you know, the Romans, for example, we'll, create images about it and then we'll actually create stories about it. So even you could,
Starting point is 00:41:55 there's a whole kind of beta E model, let's call it, where it's our business to education, you know, where you're literally selling it to score B2C to schools, where you could create like whole educational systems based on the curriculum. So if you just search, for example, British curriculum, you know, syllabus, like you could, you, you can actually figure out exactly you know exactly what kids are learning in schools by topic, right, what they legally have to learn, let's say in like the UK. And so you literally know like the exact topics they're going for, you know, what actual topics are learning, what, I can't exactly where it is,
Starting point is 00:42:38 but there's a way to basically figure out exactly the things they're learning. And you could create a whole kind of system based on these topics and just give it to them and say, look, he's an engaging way for kids to interact with this. and they could basically learn these type of topics, you know, using AI. So I think it's super, super cool, man, all these type of, like, individual models that can come off like this avatar thing. Do you have another business idea you want to share or something else you want to share? Yeah, man, I'm just going to touch on two more. So one, they're kind of just building onto exactly what we spoke about.
Starting point is 00:43:07 So, you know, I love this, man, because we've actually touched on many more business ideas that even I thought of. You know, so it's actually, it's given my brain ticking. I'm in a whole different planet somewhere else thinking about Moon Pig. But let me go into Kling AI. I'll re-wondy. I love it when I can share tools and hopefully get people to be excited about them. And so let's take this image we generated.
Starting point is 00:43:28 So let's go back. Let's close this off. So we've got this image we generated. So what you can do is like we can take this one right here and just download it. And then you can go into Kling AI. So KlingaI is really good at turning images into videos. And so you can just jump in here
Starting point is 00:43:45 and then throw the, oops, put a picture in on my wife. Let me refresh that. Let's upload, download, there we go, throw that in. So by the way, what I was going to say as well is, like, you can add characters as well to your prompts. So if we went into our chat, the chat GPT here, and I said, let's just do this real quick. This is where the actual second business idea was going to touch on what you mentioned earlier,
Starting point is 00:44:13 Greg, with how can we create these sort of greeting cards or like memes or like personalised moments. So I want to give an example of how you can interact with other people. So let's say we add a second character. So what we're going to do is I'm going to take the exact same prompt again. Let's just throw this in. So I've uploaded a picture of my wife now and I'm going to say, mom. Let's just say like 33, Bima. And then, so let's just get a prompt for her. So what we're now going to do is we're going to get two prompts. So we've got two different characters, right? So we've got our child and we've got the parent, for example. Now it will generate us a prompt. And what you can do is you can then speak to chat GPT and say, generate me. Another image prompt with similar style, where Cairo is waving goodbye to his to mum on the first day of school.
Starting point is 00:45:30 ensure you maintain the same character consistency. Cool, so let's see. So this could be an example, again, where these prompts are what you can give your API in the back end. And so you could upload a picture of yourself, oh, look at it, look at it. So Ciddy is trying to create the image. Don't create the image for me.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Give me a prompt I can use in Leonardo AI. first of all how terrible is that that's so bad that's just that is the equivalent of will smith eating spaghetti yeah it is you know and let's just go up scroll up and how they feel school also is just the icing on the cake so crazy man yeah obviously it's not a yeah they create like this amazing sorry but i'm happy you did that you know why because some people are going to see stuff like see some of these you know Pixar photos and be like oh I I can never do that like they do one prompt on chat GPT they get this they're like I can't do that and they don't realize that their prompt is wrong and that they're using the wrong product they should be using Leonardo
Starting point is 00:46:48 not yeah not chat GPT 4-0 exactly perfectly said man there you go so now you have like kaira saying goodbye to his mom for instance right and so like this now creates a moment where let's say me as a father, I want to, you know, print this out. I want to get a card made with it to, you know, wish him good luck. You know, you can probably even like, you know, let's just put here, add text. Let's actually change it. So let's actually really go moon pig. Let's moonpig this thing out. Now add some text to say good luck. Let's see what it does. Because this actually comes on to like another business idea I was going to come to in a minute. So it's pretty cool. Let's see how this works.
Starting point is 00:47:36 So while this is, actually, let's say I run and run this, and then I'll show you Kling AI quickly as well. Cool. Cheerful, handwritten text, overlaying, and bold, friendly font that says, good luck in your first day. Play subtly above the characters, but not obstructing the scene. Interesting. Okay. So let's see what it does here.
Starting point is 00:48:00 So I might actually take one of these images then, because this might actually be more fun. So let's download this image. and then we're going to animate that. Yeah, these guys are very good at text. You know, really cool. This one's a bit weird, but this one's great. That's awesome. Yeah, man, super cool.
Starting point is 00:48:24 So, like, you can take that. So now what you want to do is you want to come into Klingi, and then you can upload an image. So I've got this image. We want to open that in there. Now, with Kling, again, they have an API, so you can do this all programmatically. I run it through code, basically,
Starting point is 00:48:40 and just display it on like a front end. You can also add some additional prompts in Kling. So you can mention what you want to do in the scene. So like in some of Greg's scenes, I would actually tell it that I wanted him to like, you know, sip the cup. So the scene where you're sipping the cup, I think is over here. I told it to do that because it was in your hand at the start
Starting point is 00:49:01 and I was like, no, I need him to sip it. And so I just put that in the prompt area here. Let me just refresh this quick. So drop that image in and then While that's adding Do you do things like the motion brush Do you know how do you think about No I don't really man
Starting point is 00:49:26 I kind of just leave them They're going to introduce camera movements apparently Which I have which is not in there yet But no I don't normally I don't normally add any additional prompts I really like in a weird way trust the AI. I want to see what it comes up with. And then I can add additional prompts
Starting point is 00:49:43 if I want to after. So Kling has some sort of error right now so we can't get it to work. So it's fine. But basically Klingaai, if you guys jump on it, you can basically upload any one of these photos. So like I say,
Starting point is 00:49:56 this one we get from Leonardo. And then the next part of the sequence is putting into Kling and getting video generated. So literally clips like this are from like a photo that then turn into a moving video. So it's so cool. Like this, this was literally an image that we generated so you can see, oh, here's some of my videos. So you can see here, this is basically an image we generated here. This is a static image in Leonardo. We put this into Kling and then it generated
Starting point is 00:50:25 this video here that I just showed you guys. Now, what's even more cool is actually in Kling, they have a dub feature. So you can actually put words in and it dubs the mouth to say the words. So this guy, is he talking this one or this one? Okay, it's not in these ones. So in one of the videos, he's talking. So I think this is the dubbed version here. But basically you can get him to, yeah, it's being super slow. But you can use a lip sync function.
Starting point is 00:50:55 You can also get him to say words. So like if you want to really memeify this, the character that you generated in, like Leonardo could actually be saying something in the scene inside Kling. And so you can see if we're clinging the first. five second videos, which take about like four minutes to generate right now. So that's where like it's not really scalable, I think, as a video offering as a product right now.
Starting point is 00:51:16 But the way I thought it could be interesting is if you literally had like a manual process where you hired people, you know, whether it's in the Philippines or whatever, like assistance that could just basically sit there on like, you know, two or three thousand dollars a month and just be dealing with like the orders that you've got coming in. if people did want to pay for like this premium offering or video clips or video scenes or these GIFs that you want to generate. I think GIFs are actually a good idea because it could just be like five or six video clips that you stitch together.
Starting point is 00:51:45 But at the moment, this process is like, you know, quite lengthy, you know, I suppose the stage of what AI is at. But I think very quickly you'll become a lot faster. But it's mad because you can do things with like, I want to show you all this, man. It's so annoying because we created something with Sonic, you know, where like Sonic is running. you know there's so many cool things you can do but yeah cling AI is amazing so I'd say if it is working for you guys just like
Starting point is 00:52:08 download one of your images from Leonardo throwing to Kling and you generate a video and you'll blow your mind I told Greg as well there's a demo in here in my community I've done like a whole Kling demo so you can kind of watch it and we might have the output here yes you can see like this is like
Starting point is 00:52:30 Sonic running you know so you can watch the whole demo there and play around with it but it's very cool um yeah so that's cling so move on to the next thing let's do it yeah cool um so the other idea so we'll just touch on this last one i think it still speaks to the uh idea of avatars but i thought about um personalized stickers using avatars right and so again dad brain uh but i would when i went to my um my daughter's class I saw that her teacher had these kind of, just a couple of, like, customized, you know, signs in the class where she had a face on there and it was like, you know, pointing towards something, like something on the wall. And I looked at that and I was like, you know what should
Starting point is 00:53:15 be super interesting is like if teachers had like, instead of giving kids like generic, well done stickers, they had like images, AI generated images of the teacher and then they're saying, well done, good work or whatever. And they have just sheets of these just like in their classroom or they can have these kind of, you know, stickers that they are putting up in different parts of their classroom. And then maybe even, so that's where the school kind of or educational institution becomes the customer in a sense, but also they could have, you know, licensed user accounts on your platform for, you know, children to have their own stickers. So you could get your own stickers. So if you're working really hard, you might really want your own sticker. It might be an incentive
Starting point is 00:53:56 for kids to, you know, work harder because they want that sticker with their face on it. and take that home, or with the teacher. Like we just showed with the image generation, we've done with two people here, you could do with, like, your teacher, giving you a high five. And it's really cool because you can just do this by just adjusting the prompt a little bit. So, yeah, so you can basically, you can just tell ChatGBT, GBT to just create you, like a kiss-cut sticker artwork because that's, like, the style where, like, you can kind be cut up.
Starting point is 00:54:22 It would then give you the artwork itself, the prompt for the artwork, which you can throw into Leonardo, so I've thrown in here. and I was taking him as a character and like I've said to it over here, he's won a soccer game, for example. So this could become a sticker, basically. So what I'm actually going to do here is I'm going to go, just in terms of Leonardo,
Starting point is 00:54:42 what you want to do is you want to turn prompt enhanced off so it doesn't modify the prompt. And then for stickers, you want to make it one by one. And then let's go again. And I want to make sure it adds a congratulations text because it added it here, but I want it to be in that kind of like a stickery style. But where I think this is super interesting is you can basically create like a business model where you only need chat GBT and let's say Leonardo AI
Starting point is 00:55:04 but well terrible but you could then plug it into like a drop shipping tool or like a third party printing API like printful to actually have this whole order process going on and just be fulfilled automatically so you're kind of creating like physical like exciting products using AI without even you do anything at all like it's just one big automation that's running so okay this is a bit So what I would do here is just to get my prompt right, I'll copy this image, give it to chat GPT, and say, everything is perfect except the positioning of the text. And prominence of the text. It should be, is it kiss card? Am I saying it wrong?
Starting point is 00:55:53 stickers. Yeah, so it is kiss-cut stickers. So everything is probably set the potential in the front of the text. It should be, let's just do like an example. Kiss-cut sticker example. So this is really cool. ChatGBTGBT is also.
Starting point is 00:56:11 You can just throw examples in and get it to hopefully, you know, help you get the prompt right. So we give an example of like this. But I don't want to be overly... Let's see. Let's just give it. Oops.
Starting point is 00:56:28 anybody that it should be a kiss-cut sticker. I've attached examples of kiss-cut stickers to. Right, so let's see if it gives us a new prompt. And then we can throw it back into Leonardo. So this is the process I would go through. Just like, this is why it's important to do this manually, because once you've done this, you then can have a solid prompt that you can then plug into like, you know, your Zapio workflow if you're doing Zapio or like an AI, an API that you're connecting up.
Starting point is 00:57:06 And you would literally just take that. If it's in here, let's hopefully see if this works. And then what I would do, by the way, Greg, is like I thought a good way of, let's say even marketing this or getting customers. Let's say you were targeting schools is if you go to any school website, they normally have like the staff on like the page. So let's say you pick like, I don't know, New York Elementary. scores. I'm going to blow someone up, like, actually getting fired. What's like a school? I don't know any schools in
Starting point is 00:57:35 the States. Any, any, that famous schools? Like, let's say Manhattan I know Manhattan Film School. Is it Manhattan Films? New York Film School? Right. Let's say stuff. But basically that you'd have, like, you know, like this, like a faculty directory, for example. I would find that the principal, and I would take their image, and they would like, I would do this chat, GPT process.
Starting point is 00:57:58 using their specific image. And then I would like get like sticker sheets printed and then basically just mail them. So I'd like I would or somehow like get it across them. But I would do process like this like really guerrilla hacking type methods where like it's interesting because it would like throw them off. But also it's a way of like kind of getting their attention as well. Totally. By the way that would go viral within that school.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Right. Like who doesn't want a sticker that looks like that? It'll at least put it puts a smile on everyone's face. I mean, I mean even when you sent. me that Greg video. I was like smiling from ear to ear because I thought it was so nice. So I think that, I mean, kind of what you were saying is using these tools to create digital assets, finding what APIs is to create physical assets, and then even doing some old school marketing techniques, like literally sending the product to people, if you can get, I mean,
Starting point is 00:58:56 stickers doesn't cost you know doesn't cost a lot um so it's definitely uh a huge opportunity totally and so exactly man exactly that i think um and you know there's so many tools that you can stitch together like these are just some examples um so the only thing i've done right now is i've just gone back in and i'm actually much happier with this now uh but to get a kiss cut effect that we might have like a plain background so the only reason i want to show you you guys this is because I actually want you to have like a full workflow. So there's one other tool that we're just going to add in to make sure that this is like
Starting point is 00:59:33 something that you guys can actually practically do because this is, if you literally take this prompt here and then run it into chat GPT to create characters and then run it into Leonardo, there we go. So now we've got like a sticker art map, right? Crazy. Mad.
Starting point is 00:59:49 So this is like perfect. It's got congratulations. is literally the image from here that we uploaded with the character we wanted. And so now what you do is you'd use a tool like RemoveBG. So RemoveBG is a tool where it just can remove the background for you. So I would take this and download it and then just drop it into RemoveBG.
Starting point is 01:00:22 And the remove BG have an API. So you can again, just programmatically plug this in. So it generates backgrounds, it removes background automatically. So you could have the image from Leonardo automatically sent to REMBG, or then cut it out, and now you've got like a PNG sticker, right? And so now you have an actual image that you can use for printing stickers. That's literally a sticker right there. And you can do like, you know, hundreds of these, you know,
Starting point is 01:00:55 for so many different, you know, types of, you know, congratulations or good luck or whatever you want. So I would then go to like Printful, for example. They have an API. So Printful API. And by the way, they have tons of products on Printful. So they've got, you know, stickers, but they've also got clothing, T-shirts.
Starting point is 01:01:15 So you could create like a whole business on top of like a printful type thing and click their API. So you could use this to literally place orders. You create a new order for a product. I collect it up to Shopify, printful works very well with Shopify, and just have this automated workflow going on where someone can come onto your site, upload an image, create stickers, and do all sorts.
Starting point is 01:01:39 You know, maybe even just like print, you know, other products as well. But that's why I think is, you know, very, very interesting right now. And I think there's loads, because of this, like, AI image type, you know, error, I think there's like loads of guerrilla marketing type, techniques you could use. So yeah, that's how I would do it, man, and just spawn off like a sticker printing business, maybe for schools or in general.
Starting point is 01:02:00 I mean, you might even be able to grab people's display pictures on Instagram and X and just like DM them, be like, hey, you know, what do you think of this? And, you know, that's maybe a way to grow, grow top of the funnel in a really systematic way. I love this idea. I think it's really smart. I think it doesn't reinvent the wheel.
Starting point is 01:02:24 It creates a product that people want that make them smile. And I think the world is looking for fun tools and fun things like this more and more. So thank you for sharing it. And always great to have you. Before we end, though, does the class, AI. Like, we can put what we had, but I'm curious if it, if it, uh, just to close the loop. Yeah, it would be great if it does it.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Yes. Looks like it's working. Okay, great. So it's upload the image. We'll hit generate and then, oh, don't do that. Let's try one more time, one more time, one more time. It seems like it's got some sort of, yeah, all right. Is there no work around there?
Starting point is 01:03:23 Because the internet's working on our side, isn't it? Yeah. No, it's being wild. But yeah, no, no, it's being crazy. Okay, no worries. It's still good. It's still good. We got, we got to, you know, people can connect the dots.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Um, Omar, this, always a pleasure talking tactics and ideas with you. And I appreciate you sharing how the sausage is made. and we'll include the link to your school community and show notes for anyone who wants to go and check that out. Thank you. And it's just great chatting with you. Bro, you too, man. Real pleasure. Real pleasure.
Starting point is 01:04:03 And I really had a lot of fun, man. Hope everyone enjoys building and creating stuff themselves as well. And, you know, I definitely think you should jump on the moonpick thing. I think you're on to one of there. I'll let the listeners grab it, you know. but I can't wait to see what people build and please let us know in the comment section. I actually read every single comment
Starting point is 01:04:23 so let us know if you enjoyed this or just let us know your thoughts in general. So we'll be in there. Later Omar. Take it. Thank you. Cheers.
