Lisa
Hey. Hey, everyone. Thanks for joining me for another episode of the Full Frontal Living Podcast. And today I've got a really special and exciting guest on. This was a lady that I met last when I was at Cal in February.

00:00:56:24 - 00:00:57:17
Callan
February.

00:00:57:20 - 00:01:23:02
Lisa
In Tulum. We had a very deep, soulful conversation while standing in the ocean, which is where, you know, big things happened in my life when I'm standing in the ocean in Tulum. And I wanted to bring her on the podcast because she is really one of the leading females. I want to, you know, highlight that one of the leading females in the air space right now, air is here.

00:01:23:04 - 00:01:44:23
Lisa
It's not going away. It's moving very, very quickly. And I really knew nothing about it until I met Callan. So we're going to talk a little bit about my journey with I welcome you into that world. Callan has such a beautiful way of making I not scary, not feel like, you know, the apocalypse is coming with it, which is what I thought.

00:01:44:25 - 00:01:54:02
Lisa
This is going to take down society. It's not. It's going to be so much fun. So, Callan,, go ahead and introduce yourself and then we're gonna talk a little bit about how you got to where you are today.

00:01:54:04 - 00:02:12:01
Callan
Amazing. Well, I am so happy to be here. Lisa. Our little ocean convo is one of my favorite things ever, and for anyone listening that has not put their feet in the ocean and like thought about life recently, you should do that because downloads come through. My name is Callan Faulkner. I am the founder of the Uncommon Business.

00:02:12:01 - 00:02:35:06
Callan
And we it's funny when I explain what I do at a party, it's like, who am I talking to? I would explain myself to just the layman's person who doesn't really understand to get them excited. As one of the world's leading air coaches, helping people understand how they can work smarter, not harder, how they can collapse time and create more quantum leaps by actually implementing I the right way.

00:02:35:09 - 00:02:56:09
Callan
But I think when I when I zoom out at what I'm really doing is I'm really helping people activate themselves to their highest potential. And I just happens to be the easiest way to do that. So I've been in technology my whole career. I saw Chad Djibouti a few years ago and just had that full body. Yes, right away.

00:02:56:09 - 00:03:02:01
Callan
And now we run AI education and we help people implement it the right way. It's been really fun.

00:03:02:01 - 00:03:04:03
Lisa
You were working in real estate before, weren't you?

00:03:04:03 - 00:03:23:00
Callan
Real estate was, yeah. So I did this thing where I. I graduated college and I went right to work. I was in sales, so I was working for a marketing technology consulting firm. And then I went to go work for a CRM consulting firm. We did big Salesforce implementations. I was a VP of sales. I was designing systems.

00:03:23:00 - 00:03:41:03
Callan
I love efficiency. I love like if I see someone working on Xbox, I'm like, What is going on? You are wasting time. We need to migrate you to the 21st century. So the process of efficiency has always been something I've been obsessed with. Just because I think people work way too hard. And I saw that, you know, even in college, I see people study.

00:03:41:03 - 00:04:04:14
Callan
I'm like, Oh my God, you are trying so hard. Why are you trying so hard? You can do it in a much easier way if you have the right systems in place. And then I saw all my friends flipping houses on the weekends and I was like, I should probably do that. And I also saw the people. I'm very motivated by money, which I'm not sad to say now because I understand that I have big goals around impact.

00:04:04:14 - 00:04:21:20
Callan
So I want to be able to have resources. And I saw that, oh, I don't know. You know, the people that make money are the guys that make money. All do real estate. So I was like, okay, well, I need to do real estate. So I started a a land investing business and I did land because I can barely hang a picture frame.

00:04:21:20 - 00:04:44:22
Callan
So I'm like, there is no way I'm going to be taking down walls and cabinets. So land seemed a lot more reasonable. There's no remodeling got in my land investing business and pretty quickly realized that my soul was being sucked out of my body, doing that business, doing those deals. It was fine. It was fine. The community of Land Investors is amazing.

00:04:44:22 - 00:05:00:17
Callan
Like the most wonderful people ever. They started asking me questions about how did you set that system up? How did you how are you getting them to sign documents? I'm like, Doc, you sign. They're like, Can we pay you? Is that thought up? I was like, You absolutely can pay me to set up, Doc. You sign that. It was not a problem.

00:05:00:20 - 00:05:18:01
Callan
So that was the birth of my consulting business. And then and then I saw the Jackie Beatty demo, and I went on a mastermind and with Rene Warren, who's a mutual friend of ours now, you know, a hypno breath work session came out of it and knew I needed to shut everything down and go all in on A.I..

00:05:18:04 - 00:05:22:05
Callan
And that was February of 2024. So about 16 months ago.

00:05:22:07 - 00:05:44:13
Lisa
Wow. So what is going all in mean? So obviously you were drawn to A.I. because of the efficiency of it, but you're a real master at speaking A.I.. So maybe start there with what does this even look like? Which I have to say that now that I've gotten my fingers into AI, I realized that I'm actually very, very good at prompts because I'm very.

00:05:44:14 - 00:05:45:21
Lisa
You're asking questions.

00:05:45:22 - 00:05:46:10
Callan
Exactly.

00:05:46:10 - 00:06:02:05
Lisa
You're I know how to think around things. However, one of the things that I will say about A.I. that gives me pause and we can talk about this in a little bit is it's often way too agreeable. Yeah, it's very much a it's a very much a pleaser, which is problematic.

00:06:02:07 - 00:06:23:24
Callan
You know what I say, though, Lisa, is that humans are also agreeable and humans want to pander you. Like if you call a friend right now, just a miscellaneous friend, Most friends are not going to tell you what you don't want to hear. They're not going to tell you, hey, you know what? You keep complaining about your boyfriend, but you know who's the problem is?

00:06:23:24 - 00:06:44:06
Callan
You you're really you should probably say that to me. And I probably do that, too, because I've gotten to the level of saying the things. And that's why you're hired, because no one's friends are telling them what they actually want to hear. So it's funny because A.I. is just a mirror. It wants to make you happy. It wants to give you the answer.

00:06:44:06 - 00:06:57:22
Callan
If you go in and you and you say, Here's what's happening with my boyfriend or girlfriend, they're being so annoying. They're not giving me any attention. I should break up with them, right? A.I. is going to say, Yeah, you should and your friends are going to say that too.

00:06:57:24 - 00:06:58:07
Lisa
Right?

00:06:58:13 - 00:07:20:09
Callan
Harder Question is A.I.. I want you to be Dr. John Gottman, a world class marriage counselor, studied thousands of marriages, understands what patterns lead to success, what pattern lead to divorce. You don't have to tell a guy that it already knows who Dr. John Gottman is. I'm going to explain the situation right now with my partner. I'm going to give you here's all the context.

00:07:20:12 - 00:07:42:25
Callan
Here's what's happening. Every morning I wake up, my partner is already out the door. They leave the kitchen a mess, whatever, blah, blah, blah. So in that situation, I need you to help me through this situation. And I don't want you to tell me just what I want to hear. I want to see. I want to see the situation from the perspective of my inner child, from the perspective of my partner and his he or his or her inner child.

00:07:42:27 - 00:08:02:05
Callan
I want to hear what I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong, all the different angles of the situation, and ultimately guide me to a place where I can have a conversation with my partner in a very loving way. And then also help me build a text message so I can send a message to them this morning, let alone letting them know I love them, but also letting them know I want to have this conversation.

00:08:02:07 - 00:08:07:27
Callan
Please ask me clarifying questions. Who would go to their friend and say that literally Nobody.

00:08:07:29 - 00:08:32:01
Lisa
Nobody. This is why people pick coaches. So here's where like this conversation is going to be interesting, right? Because I swing in circles. That's probably not the right term. I'm in circles of men and women who are doing their work, so to speak. They've invested a lot of time and money into knowing that there's so many more perspectives available to them.

00:08:32:01 - 00:08:56:16
Lisa
They've worked on things, the, you know, the wounds, whatever we want to call them. Right. Like even the police are wound, right? I've done years and years of work on that. General population, though, is never going to know to ask those questions of Ally. Hmm. Oh, how problematic is that in the future when we've got people asking questions but not really knowing how to ask questions or who even John Gottman is?

00:08:56:23 - 00:08:58:10
Lisa
Right?

00:08:58:12 - 00:09:18:19
Callan
It's such a good question, Lisa. And if we look at the the playing field right now of life, you know who the winners of life are. And, you know, winners are the loose term, right? Just who is ultimately feeling joy? Feeling happiness is also a little like Oprah couldn't can't define happy. Everyone has a different understanding of happiness.

00:09:18:19 - 00:09:44:09
Callan
Let's just say the ultimate goal of life is to find joy, find happiness, find our souls potential, and like live in a state of gratitude and joy for the world. Great getting to that level requires you to do the work. What is the work? The work is understanding your own traumas, your own triggers, your own. You have to learn how to regulate your own emotions.

00:09:44:09 - 00:10:01:00
Callan
You have to learn how to regulate your nervous system. You have to learn who these experts are. You have to study. You have to go to YouTube. You have to hire a coach and learn the power of now and who Eckhart totally is and who Joe Dispenser is and who John Gottman is. And you have to learn how to ask really hard questions and ask our questions of yourself and journaling.

00:10:01:00 - 00:10:24:14
Callan
Go in and do all this stuff. It has nothing to do with A.I.. It has to do with the work. If you're willing to do that work and actually understand how to communicate, you will level up in this game of life. That's ultimately like a video game that we're all playing, that we're trying to trying to navigate. I explain A.I. right now as like we're all in the Tour de France.

00:10:24:16 - 00:10:44:13
Callan
Some writers are using steroids and some are not the bad riders are suddenly like getting ahead. What's going to happen is that eventually everyone in the Tour de France starts using steroids, so the good riders still win. My argument is that I think Lance Armstrong probably would have won with or without steroids because everyone's just everyone's doing it.

00:10:44:16 - 00:10:52:18
Callan
All right. This is, again, the work that you do for your clients. They're going to win even more, is just going to collapse time around getting out.

00:10:52:18 - 00:11:12:05
Lisa
It's really fascinating because, you know, I said before we hopped on, I was just at a conference in Santa Fe with a roomful of coaches and a lot of people are freaking out that this is going to, you know, is going to eliminate their jobs. And, you know, my perspective is my job isn't going anywhere because nobody knows how to ask questions and ask questions or take place.

00:11:12:05 - 00:11:15:09
Lisa
You can't go on air because you don't even know the questions to ask that.

00:11:15:13 - 00:11:15:20
Callan
Right.

00:11:15:25 - 00:11:25:28
Lisa
And having gone through my own, you know, massive wake up moments in life as you have as well, we don't even know that the questions to ask ourselves.

00:11:25:29 - 00:11:26:28
Callan
That's exactly right.

00:11:26:29 - 00:11:37:11
Lisa
Well, do my own coach and say, hold on here, help me see what's going on. I couldn't have wanted I to ask that question because I didn't know the questions to ask.

00:11:37:12 - 00:11:55:29
Callan
That's right. That's right. And you don't even just like, you know, you say people don't even know who Dr. John Gottman is. They don't even know who Eckhart totally is or they don't know you don't know these frameworks, They don't know these systems. They don't know that an emotion is only supposed to last 90 seconds in the body and your thoughts are what's actually keeping it there.

00:11:56:04 - 00:12:15:25
Callan
They don't. They don't know any of this information. So you are going to be able and you already are introducing them to world class systems and frameworks in your intellectual property that has already collapsed time around healing. But now you're going to be able to do that with AI. And again, the winners are still going to win. Your business is going.

00:12:15:25 - 00:12:30:12
Callan
You are just going to be able to get them from A to B faster and then maintain them. But your systems will keep them there. You can't just use Strategy B to regulate your nervous system. What are you going to help me? It's going to be like here breathing in, breathe out for, you know, call, try box breathing like nice.

00:12:30:12 - 00:12:49:06
Callan
That's great. That might get me out of a traumatic situation. But are we talking about 6 to 12 months of healing from a 25 year marriage? That's not going to happen using it. JT beats number one source of information is Wikipedia. So for most people, that's that's what they're going to get. They're going to say, How do I heal from a marriage?

00:12:49:06 - 00:13:09:11
Callan
Well, you should start getting out. Go on Tinder. Like that's that's some of these answers you're going to get, right? You're going to get crap answers now. And the problem now is that people are writing, they're content with this. They're creating frameworks with this using crap answers. And that's why I say the good are the winners are still going to win because they're not going to settle for that type of stuff.

00:13:09:11 - 00:13:14:12
Callan
They're going to hire Lisa Carpenter, say, I'm not going to settle for Wikipedia answers. I want experts.

00:13:14:15 - 00:13:31:22
Lisa
What I found is so interesting, you know, as a social entrepreneur, I do have a team, but now working with Claude and we chat, it's like having an assistant with me. And because I'm I don't want to take just the pleasing answer, I'm like this This doesn't sound good. This doesn't sound right. This isn't all. Yes, you're right.

00:13:31:22 - 00:13:55:27
Lisa
Like, it's it's still very pleasing, but it's been really fun to be able to collapse time around. My content rights have loaded a bunch of my content up there. It's been able to help me pull out frameworks that I wasn't able to see about myself. But it's also been able to bring me clarity when I'm trying to like pull like I've got this big idea.

00:13:55:27 - 00:14:28:10
Lisa
How do I distill it down? Because you, for somebody who is very like productivity systems, systems are not my strength. So now it's like having this personal assistant that systems are at strength. Once I learn how to once I learn how to program it. And I don't think that people are understanding the power of that. So can you talk a little bit about prompts how people can use it to their benefit, whether they're an entrepreneur or, you know, a mom trying to organize her household?

00:14:28:12 - 00:14:50:02
Callan
Yeah, Yeah. Well, what I said, what you just said I think is really important is that AI is so great at taking chaos and turning it into clarity. I will give an example, a couple of examples. So the first example is even just this past weekend for Mother's Day, I sat down to write my note to my mom and I had the writer's block.

00:14:50:02 - 00:15:08:29
Callan
And one of my rules is that we don't start from scratch. If anything, I start with AI interviewing me just to spark me. So that's what I did. I went into A.I. and I said, I'm sitting down around my mother's notes, my Mother's Day note, my mom. I want it to be a note that she remembers forever. I want her to feel loved.

00:15:08:29 - 00:15:34:04
Callan
I want it to feel like she really understands how grateful I am for her and all the love she's given me. Please interview me with five questions so that we can extract some fun memories and stories that I can include them. I know. And it started getting really specific. It said, Give me an example of a time and as a child, where your mom made you feel so loved.

00:15:34:06 - 00:15:58:17
Callan
And it started to spark these memories of her cooking meals when I would be done with soccer practice. And then I said, I gave I use my transcription. I just talked, I answered all the questions and it's and I said, if you notice any connections here or anything that could start to create a connection to my life, now feel free to give me a response.

00:15:58:19 - 00:16:21:28
Callan
It came back and it said, Because Chatty Betty knows I'm an entrepreneur and knows I run a business, it said, It sounds like your mom actually taught you how to build a system of care, and it sounds like your mom actually taught taught you how to receive and chat was like, It's probably the reason why it's so easy for you to delegate because she taught you that receiving help made you stronger.

00:16:22:01 - 00:16:45:00
Callan
And I was like, getting teary. I'm like, You're 100% right. It is so easy for me to ask for help. I always have, because my whole life my mom was such a caretaker and she had systems and she had tutors and she was like, Whatever you need. The private coach. And I feel so lucky. And I think it's my biggest advantage right now as a business leader and and, and a partner a in a relationship I don't have.

00:16:45:01 - 00:17:05:02
Callan
I have a house manager. I have a cleaner. Anyways, I would have never gotten there without I did I think of some random thing. No, it extracted all this out of me, cleaned it up, made it clear. Same thing happened when I sat next to an author on a plane. You've probably heard this story already. SAT Pam I.

00:17:05:02 - 00:17:24:12
Callan
Pam. So I was on the plane and I'm sitting next to this woman. I'm feeling greater universe. Nudge me and tell me you need to tell her about I and I and I was in middle seat which is very unusual for me. I'm usually I'll like I do not want to be this person. I did it anyways I started having this conversation.

00:17:24:13 - 00:17:42:06
Callan
She's like, I, I, I is kind of like cheating so I'm not really a big fan. And that's when I'm my background sales. So I was like, Oh, this is going to be good. We are going to go out of here. So I said, Well, hey, what do you do for a living? She said, I'm an author. I said, Okay, what's your name?

00:17:42:12 - 00:17:58:24
Callan
Pam. Amazing. Well, you don't know me, Pam, but I am one of the world's leading AI coaches. And if you would be willing to give me, like, 20 minutes, I think I can change your perspective. Well, 20 minutes turned into two and a half hours. We were flying from Minneapolis to Naples, and she was working on a memoir.

00:17:58:24 - 00:18:22:17
Callan
She's been working on it for six years and it's about her son's speech impediment. And he he was born a first couple of years, couldn't speak. They went through all of this therapy. And it turns out he her voice was actually not being used. And she wasn't speaking out. She wasn't speaking The her the real authentic truths. And so is this whole story.

00:18:22:20 - 00:18:44:22
Callan
I spent the first 45 minutes asking AI to ask her questions. I said, you are a world class book writing coach. You have helped thousands of people, have New York Times bestsellers. What are the 20 questions you would have for Pam? Here's a short excerpt of her story. I recorded it. I grabbed the transcript, I brought it back into club, and luckily I had just gone to a book writing seminar.

00:18:44:22 - 00:19:14:04
Callan
So I had some concepts of like how to write a book, which was really helpful. Again, I'm not relying on Wikipedia to tell me how to write a book I had, okay, you have to do this and you have to do character development. Then you have to do this. So we we worked through the Steps Character Development chapter outline, and there was a moment where it was Clyde took all of this information and brought back a moment of, Hey, Pam, I don't know if you realize this, but when you walked over that bridge with your sister, it relates to the entire story.

00:19:14:04 - 00:19:53:14
Callan
The whole story is a bridge. And she lost it. She started sobbing, too. Same kind of story. It took her brilliance and it clarified it down. And it actually extracted amazing parts of the story that she would have never saw herself because there was just so much there's so much to the story. So we say that because the people who learn to use AI to articulate well, even just being able to articulate their desires, articulate their dilemmas, articulate these deep feelings will unlock exponential clarity and results, whether that's in your life, your relationship, your I need to make a meal plan and I don't even know where to start.

00:19:53:14 - 00:20:12:00
Callan
I am on this new diet. Here's a transcript of my health coach or I want to try to get 200 grams of protein a day. I have no idea how to do that. That is the best part of my eyes were not. But times are not even using it to find the information. We're just using it to clarify the information we already have inside us.

00:20:12:02 - 00:20:37:29
Lisa
So wild. So like it's just it's been so again, mindblowing for me, just in all my ways that I've now used it that I never thought to use it. Like I was saying before we hit record, you know, my nemesis is, is cooking, so I'm super clean, healthy eater. It's just part of my lifestyle, right? But I mean, yeah, I was making meal plans back in the day when there was no macro tracker.

00:20:38:01 - 00:20:54:23
Lisa
We had an Excel spreadsheet and we had to go out and find the information, right? Like this is how long ago it was. And now to be able to just put in like, here's my macros, can you build me a meal plan please, based on this, split it into five meals. This is how I want it to look and it'll just do it.

00:20:54:25 - 00:21:02:06
Callan
And here's what I have in my fridge. Yep. And then let me know anything you want. And here's three recipes I found online. Yep. And then build me a grocery list by department.

00:21:02:08 - 00:21:20:12
Lisa
Yeah, absolutely. I do it for our Easter dinner. I was having a really good dinner and I remembered all. Kalon said that she uses it to plan out the whole dinner. So I said, This is what I want. You know, these are the type of foods I want. This is how many people gave me a grocery list. Give me like I said, can you please.

00:21:20:15 - 00:21:32:15
Lisa
It's. This is a thing for me, right? The potatoes are done in the turkeys. Not this is my life. Right? The carrots are ready. We're eating in shifts. I'm like, Can you time it all for me? I feel good. It all lands on the table, warm.

00:21:32:17 - 00:21:33:10
Callan
The same time.

00:21:33:12 - 00:21:49:23
Lisa
At the same time. I mean, it was just mind blowing, right? Let's just simply go into the fridge and say, I have no idea what to put together tonight. This is what I have in my fridge. And then it'll say, Well, what kind of flavor do you want? Mexican? Do you want Greek? Do you want? And I it is streamlined.

00:21:49:23 - 00:22:06:19
Lisa
It's the equivalent for me of like when, when, before COVID, I was able to order my groceries online and have them delivered. And I felt like I was ahead of the curve. Right? Because people are like, Now, I saw you do my grocery shopping. I'm like, someone else can pick my groceries. I'm not that particular about my veggies.

00:22:06:22 - 00:22:10:22
Lisa
This has been the equivalent of that in terms of how much time it saved me.

00:22:10:25 - 00:22:11:14
Callan
Yeah, just.

00:22:11:14 - 00:22:29:12
Lisa
Forgetting things done so in saying all that, give us some maybe some lesser known tools that people would not even think about with A.I., because the point of this conversation is I want my listeners to be like, Wow, I never even considered that I could use it that way.

00:22:29:14 - 00:22:48:05
Callan
I'm totally so I'm going to stick. I'm going to, well, stick inside of the big large language models, then we'll go outside of it. So everyone has probably heard of Chat GPT That is the that's the first large language model that came to market. It doesn't mean it's the best one there is. There are many other large language models.

00:22:48:05 - 00:23:09:18
Callan
The large language model I find myself using actually the most is called Claude. So Claude is c l a you d dot i If you look at the large large language model rankings, Claude is ni best for content. So I use Claude quite a bit for content. And then perplexity is amazing for research. It always verifies its sources.

00:23:09:20 - 00:23:39:01
Callan
I've actually been using Grok quite a bit recently. That's Twitter X is a large language model. Amazing to search on Reddit and extracts. So if we're at Twitter threads. So if I'm looking for what was I doing the other day, I was looking at affordable blood work strategies. My Lord, it's hard to get blood work done. And I was like, Look on Reddit threads to find really affordable blood work strategies in the United States.

00:23:39:01 - 00:24:04:09
Callan
And it gave it found a bunch of Reddit threads. And so consumer is great for our life. I think a couple of things. Number one, what you just talked about and what these examples I'm going to give, I want you guys to think about the offloading of brain creating of brain space. Like that's ultimately what we're doing because your brain is not not meant to hold information.

00:24:04:09 - 00:24:20:20
Callan
It is meant to move information through. And when we get to the place where we are holding all this information in our brain, the carrots and then the green beans and then the potatoes, and then I need to go to the grocery store and do this, this and this. Are you going to have a productive day at work the day before doing that?

00:24:20:20 - 00:24:49:06
Callan
Absolutely not, because you're too much in the brain. So let's just think about things that are holding space in the brain. Number one, any sort of conversation, things that you have, any sort of human to human disconnection or conflict. I say do not hold that. Put that directly in the eye. And if you don't know who you want to be, I always want to be someone or else is going to use Wikipedia as source.

00:24:49:06 - 00:25:09:21
Callan
So tell it your situation. This is what's happening with the person, my employee, my friend, my partner, whatever. What is a thought leader or a person that could really help me through this situation? Maybe it's the author of crucial conversation. Maybe it's the author of what is some sort of culture book, who, not how, who knows something like that.

00:25:09:24 - 00:25:36:05
Callan
I usually use Dr. John Gottman for relationships. I'm find your thought leader that regulates that, that helps you regulate that situation, get that out. Like move it. You have to call someone. Just get out, start talking. And I love it for any sort of any time I'm triggered, like, any time I'm having any sort of body reaction, anything, I'm going in there to talk about it, have it be Brené Brown, have it be the author of Body Keeps the Score, Have it be Jo dispenser.

00:25:36:08 - 00:25:57:23
Callan
If we're getting more into like life systems, obviously anything to do with meals, food, the thing about mom stuff, chore lists, schedule planning. Hey, I need to get my I'm doing a five year old birthday party. I need to reverse engineer. I'm three days out. What are all the things I need to do in the morning? What I will do is I'll go into Chatty Beauty.

00:25:57:24 - 00:26:18:20
Callan
I'll go for a walk, and Chatty Betty knows that Shelley is my house manager. While weird, is my executive assistant. Nicole is my girlfriend. Kate is my mom. So it knows all of the people. And so I will go in in the morning. It knows Kinsey's marketing, etc., etc. and I will just have it be Al Newport, the author of Deep Work.

00:26:18:20 - 00:26:44:05
Callan
He's a productivity expert and I will have Cal Newport interview me questions one by one to brain dump every single thing that's happening in my life that I need help with. And then at the end I'll just say write a message to each of the people that need to be delegated these tasks. And it is amazing because again, we hold so much that we need to get we need to get information out to people, but we like, Oh my God, how am I going to get I mean, Shelley needs to get me a wrench.

00:26:44:05 - 00:27:08:03
Callan
Like how am I going to get that to her? Everything to do with I know we talk about relationship a lot, but just the weekly check ins that we have goal setting planning. Honestly, any week, let's think about my packing list for L.A. or the schedule or I mean, it's honestly infinite if this are the.

00:27:08:05 - 00:27:26:01
Lisa
Oh, I had Missy took Jake, my youngest, so my partner took my youngest to Portugal for Trip, and he was having anxiety about how he was going to plan this trip. And I'm like, we'll just go into plotter chat and ask them to act as a high level travel concierge. Tell them you're traveling with a 14 year old.

00:27:26:03 - 00:27:44:26
Lisa
This is where you're starting, this is where you're ending and what type of activities would be best for you. And he was like, What? And it literally spat out a whole agenda. And I mean, obviously you can change it and tweak it, but it gave him a framework to start from which made life so much easier.

00:27:44:28 - 00:27:46:18
Callan
So good, isn't it? It's like.

00:27:46:18 - 00:27:50:00
Lisa
It is. But I'm going to tell you about the dark side for me.

00:27:50:00 - 00:27:52:12
Callan
Oh, I love dark side.

00:27:52:15 - 00:28:22:24
Lisa
So as somebody who probably is a little bit ADHD, self diagnosed, if something goes in a drawer, I don't see it. I is like, it's so fun for me. Give me a desk, Give me that. Right. I now have a folder of all the things that I want to do that I'm not getting to. So I had to really step back and go, Lisa, how much time have you wasted creating this, that and the other thing that you're not actually executing on?

00:28:22:27 - 00:28:34:26
Lisa
Because the ideas there. So I'm like, Ooh, I need to talk to you about this. Help me build out this little right? Like I've got quizzes right now. I've cut off designer Callen Hours of wasted time on stuff.

00:28:34:26 - 00:28:45:28
Callan
Well, my question for you is, do you feel like you have had this habit before where you have a lot of ideas and unfinished ideas?

00:28:46:03 - 00:29:04:09
Lisa
Yes. I didn't have the ability to structure things. No, I just want to be done. So now it's giving me the opportunity. Like I've got all this content, right? So I'm like, Give me some ideas here. This is what I want, and then I'm down the rabbit hole with it. So that's something I'm having to manage.

00:29:04:16 - 00:29:13:19
Callan
Well, you're also a visionary, right? Yeah. Would you say that your job is to start a project or finish?

00:29:13:19 - 00:29:17:18
Lisa
The project is to get it started and then hand it off.

00:29:17:21 - 00:29:30:29
Callan
That's right. So I think you are doing exactly what you need to be doing where you are coming up with these amazing ideas. And then your team's job is to help prioritize. So we follow us internally, right?

00:29:30:29 - 00:29:31:17
Lisa
A controversial.

00:29:31:17 - 00:30:07:01
Callan
Operating system. Every 90 days we meet with our your integrator. We have a whole meeting. We block a full day. And all of these ideas which are called rocks US language get put on the whiteboard and I have all my ideas. I want a chat bot on the website. I want to you can text, I want these for lead nine because I want you to all I really go all in the board on the board and then I don't do any of those things that is not Lisa star Lisa's job is to have all the ideas put on the board and then as a team we decide what the rocks are for the next 90

00:30:07:01 - 00:30:27:03
Callan
days, right? Are we going to redo the website in the next 90 days? Is that actually priority? Is that going to move the needle? Is that what we need right now? Yes. No, no. It's going to go in the rocks parking lot and that parking lot might have 150 things in there. And until you hire another person or until you get more people on your team, those things are just going to sit in the parking lot.

00:30:27:05 - 00:30:37:03
Callan
But your job is not to do those things. It's just creating, create. And then the team is your right hand is going to help you prioritize and figure out who's actually going to do it.

00:30:37:06 - 00:30:43:27
Lisa
It's a very good tip for someone like me. Yeah, because I assume, like if I create, we need to go produce. No.

00:30:44:00 - 00:31:03:24
Callan
Well, yeah. And that's my team pushes back on me a lot now because as we're getting bigger, it's becoming like a bigger boat. Like turning a cruise ship is a lot harder than turning a jet ski. And before I was on a jet ski and now I'm on a boat like a midsize yacht. I wouldn't say we're a cruise ship yet, but.

00:31:03:26 - 00:31:06:18
Lisa
I don't know. I think you're probably getting close to a cruise ship.

00:31:06:18 - 00:31:28:14
Callan
We're getting closer. We're getting closer. But it's just harder for me to hop it on a zoom. Be like, Guys, we need X, Y, Z. They'd be like, cute. Like, put that on the ideas list. So like, now they just push back on me because they know that that's just not that's going to so or they'll say, okay, well we're just going to shut this entire other project down.

00:31:28:15 - 00:31:37:11
Callan
You call that like, Oh yeah, no, no, I don't want to do that. So that's but they manage my, my issue.

00:31:37:13 - 00:32:07:23
Lisa
Oh, good. Well, this is just like I feel like we've just touched the tip of the iceberg, but I want to be mindful of your time and the listeners tell everybody where they can find you. So I did your air foundation arts course, which blew my mind. And then I've signed up for your automate to accelerate, which I'll be doing the replays on that because unfortunately I can't be on life and I'm sure that my head is going to explode yet again because Kellen so over delivers in the amount of information.

00:32:07:23 - 00:32:19:02
Lisa
Even the free workshop she did leading up to your big launch of Automate to accelerate were the feedback I was getting from the people that I referred to it. And holy crap, I'm like, I told you, I told.

00:32:19:02 - 00:32:19:23
Callan
You.

00:32:19:26 - 00:32:25:26
Lisa
So. Where can people go to find out about these programs if they want to get started and learn?

00:32:25:28 - 00:32:45:09
Callan
I love it. Well, thank you, Lisa. And anyone that comes, I will say if you come to one of my free things, you will not be disappointed. That's one of my my values is way over. Deliver on all of our free stuff. The the the way for sure is to follow me on Instagram, which is Calvin Faulkner not always has the latest links up to date.

00:32:45:09 - 00:33:08:07
Callan
What are we doing? When are we doing it? You can join the waitlist for automate to accelerate. That is our ten week training course. We're doing another one in the fall, so October of 2025 is our next one. And that is what's Lisa at Lisa's in right now. And it is so much fun. If you go to the Uncommon Business Dot CEO, you just hit work with us and then scroll down to join the waitlist.

00:33:08:07 - 00:33:27:00
Callan
You can join the wait list there and then just follow me. I try to do a lot of like tips and tricks. And I think what I'll say to anyone that's like, Oh my God, this feels overwhelming is that communicate like we can't even touched on in the beginning. Communicating with AI in a great way is all about your ability to learn how to talk.

00:33:27:00 - 00:33:44:19
Callan
We are learning a new language, we're learning a new side of communication. And I also am rewiring your brain. And I. I say this because I've had friends that have gone through the entire automate to accelerate program and they kind of paid attention a little bit and they got out of it and then I see them on their computer.

00:33:44:19 - 00:34:04:11
Callan
I did this happened to a friend. She was manually writing in her manually writing a sales page. I'm like, What are you doing? She's like, Oh my God, I should be using AI. I'm like, Yeah, What? What? It's crazy. So just give yourself grace that this is going to be it's going to take a little bit of time, but just a little Post-it note.

00:34:04:11 - 00:34:20:23
Callan
Maybe you're on your computer. Could I help me with this? Because I think of it as like we talk all the time, right? Oh, I want to spend time with my kids. I want to lean into my life. I want to create space. And then you just go back to doing the same crap you've done over and over again, starting things from scratch, trying to do everything yourself.

00:34:20:29 - 00:34:30:19
Callan
And there is a tool here for $20 a month that can take significant bandwidth off of your plate, and we're just not using it because we're scared. So yeah.

00:34:30:22 - 00:34:46:17
Lisa
It's I mean, it's literally amazing and you don't have to like I think people think like, oh, what if I spits out? I have to use that. If I spits it back to me, the sales pitch, and then I go back and forth with it four or five, I'm like, We're going to edit the section by section until I get it to where I want it to be.

00:34:46:19 - 00:35:15:27
Callan
Yeah, we touch on that for one second. Yeah. Because this is really, really important. There are going to be two types of people that come out of the next one, this, this type, this part of life where air is coming in. There is going to be the lazy person and that's what's coming out right now is the person that goes in and they put their little prompt in there and they say, Can you create a sales page?

00:35:15:27 - 00:35:34:14
Callan
And it creates a sales page and it's crappy. And it's like these the words are so robotic. It's using words like Revelation and Oasis and it makes me want to kind of throw up, but it's fine because they just want to get the project done. Well, that's how they operate that into their entire life, right? They're always creating C-plus plus content.

00:35:34:14 - 00:35:54:04
Callan
They're always not checking their work. They're not using their intuition to make sure that this work they are proud of. This is the work that they would show to anyone and just be like, look at this. I am so proud of what I've created. So there's two that's a lazy person. The second person is the actual AI architect.

00:35:54:06 - 00:36:15:19
Callan
They're the one that is understanding how to build with AI, and they're they're using AI from a place of integrity and alignment with their highest self, and they're combining it with their emotional intelligence and their inner wisdom to say, Hmm, just like you said, like I'm going to go section by section on this. Like, sure, it's 70% there, but I would never say it like that.

00:36:15:19 - 00:36:46:07
Callan
Like, oh, that does that. That sentence just doesn't resonate with me. A AI is a co-creator with that person and they are using it and they would never give work that hasn't been reviewed and pressure tested, but by A.I. and they would never give work that hasn't been reviewed and pressured, pressure tested by the human lens. So that is the person that I no one on my team is not an architect, like there is no one that's working with me from our virtual assistants in the Philippines to my right hands.

00:36:46:09 - 00:37:04:01
Callan
There's no one that doesn't know how to use AI, because if they don't, I'm just blowing money into the wind by paying their salary. And that's why I'm so obsessed with training the human being on how to use it and not settle for crappy outputs.

00:37:04:03 - 00:37:21:08
Lisa
And so I love you so much. And this is why it's so easy for me to refer people to you, because I really do believe you are one of the best at what you do and how I get to the world. And I know if you've noticed that everybody seems to be an AI trainer these days, like, Oh my gosh.

00:37:21:11 - 00:37:40:22
Lisa
So make sure you go and check out Cowan's work. I will put all the links at the in the what do we call those things? Show notes. I will put all your notes in the show notes. Check it out if you have any questions. Of course you can reach out to me personally as well. And I'm happy to give you, you know, what it's been like to work with Cowan, but I'm so grateful that you came into my life.

00:37:40:26 - 00:37:49:16
Lisa
I'm so grateful to have that conversation standing in the ocean into bloom. I love you so much, and thanks for spending your time with me this morning. I appreciate it so much.

00:37:49:22 - 00:37:51:13
Callan
Thank you. Lisa, You're the best. Have a.

00:37:51:13 - 00:37:56:16
Lisa
Wonderful day. You too and I'll catch everybody else on the next episode.

00:37:56:16 - 00:38:17:27
Lisa
Hey. Hey. Before you go, I'd like to ask you something. How much longer are you willing to put yourself last to keep pushing through, hoping things will magically change while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the life you truly want. Tell me if this sounds like you. From the outside. Most people think you have it all figured out.

00:38:18:02 - 00:38:38:25
Lisa
But the truth is that on most days you feel like you're barely holding it together. Your life is full of responsibilities and there's a high demand on your time and energy. You know you can't drop the ball yet. You're terrified it's going to happen. And worst of all, you're already taking the hit because you often end up at the bottom of your to do list.

00:38:38:27 - 00:39:12:02
Lisa
You've achieved so much, yet deep down, what you want most is more ease, more fulfillment, more joy, more you. And that is exactly what reclamation is all about. This isn't just another program. It's your opportunity to finally break free from the patterns that are keeping you stuck and step into a life that feels aligned, intentional and fulfilling. It's a safe space to have conversations that matter with women who get you and share your complicated relationship with vulnerability.

00:39:12:04 - 00:39:38:21
Lisa
Imagine having the support, the tools and the accountability to create real, lasting change where you're no longer just surviving, but thriving. So if you're done with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and constantly running on empty, it's time to take that first step. Head to Lisa Carpenter, dot K forward slash reclamation and say yes to yourself, yes to the life you know you're meant for.

00:39:38:21 - 00:39:46:11
Lisa
Because if nothing changes, nothing changes. As I'll see you on the inside.
