And there’s two factors at play here. The first is artificial intelligence. The people who understand how to use products like chat GPT and Claude adeptly are very definitely at a competitive advantage. John mentions that his competency today as an intelligent functioning human being is substantially greater today than it was nine months ago. He can see things that he couldn’t see before because he was constrained by the four corners of his own mind. But by using AI, he can see things he couldn’t see before. And that’s critical because success comes down to one’s daily actions. Both doing them consistently and identifying the right actions to take. AI allows you to better see the right actions to take. The second factor in the separation between the 98% and the 2% is a concept of advanced leadership of self. The vast majority of the 98% are simply winging life. They don’t have a way of leading themselves. They just get up each day and do the best they can. But the 2%, a large percentage of them have an actual way of doing life. During this podcast John shows our audience how using AI can make you see the right actions to take in your career. He uses the example of his current three year goal and the milestones to get there.
