Aloha and welcome back to Shark Bites!

This week I went halfway across the country to drop my daughter of at school.

She got into the makeup special effects program (for movies and such) that she wanted to get into and of course, I’m a proud dad!

Just a little update into where I’ve been.

To continue the update and give you some great content, let’s dive into this round of Shark Bites…

On this week’s Aloha Friday Coaching call, we went live for:

      New Advancements In AI & How To Use It To Make Money With Richie And Dorn

Can you believe that ChatGPT came out nearly 3 years ago!?

And in that time, so much time, money, energy, and research has been put into AI and we've seen tons of advancements.

It can be hard to keep your head wrapped around it all so that you can profit off all this new tech.

Which is why on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Coaching Call, Richie and Dorn sat down to chat all about the new advancements in AI.

More importantly, they talked about how to actually use these advancements to make money.

Attended the School of Hard Knocks. A former restaurant manager in Oklahoma, Tom always wanted to be self-employed and free from the butt-smooching of the corporate world. He wanted success bad enough that he picked up his family, including two small children and moved to beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Starting from zero, Tom embarked on building a local marketing consulting business. And promptly fell on his face! It seems Hawaiians were lovely people, until you tried to sell them something! But he persevered and learned from his mistakes. Today he's arguably one of the most successful in his niche and expecting to grow over 100% this year alone.
