SPI 898: Business Tools I'm Using More than Anything Right Now

Over the years, I've probably used 500 different tools to help me run my business in some way, shape, or form. Now that's a lot of tools, and a lot of those tools have come and gone. Some of those tools I still continue to use, and I'm not gonna tell you about all 500 of them, but I am gonna tell you today about 10 that you should be paying attention to to help you in some way, shape, or form, whether it's to save money, to save time, to help you brainstorm, get things done faster, all those kinds of things. And I'm gonna start with one tool that I've been using more than anything recently, and that is Poppy. AI.

Poppy AI is sort of a layer on top of popular AI tools to allow you to visually connect things together to a chat window so you can understand exactly where it's pulling the information from and you could train it on certain things. For example, if I want to write a newsletter, I can upload my own newsletters and even my own voice and my books and my YouTube videos. and then prompt it to create a new newsletter for me. This is exactly how I write my unstuck newsletters. And I know they're going to be in my voice because the source material is literally my own material.

Let's say I wanted to create a video essay and write a script for it, but I don't know how to do that. But guess what? There's a lot of people who have taught for free on YouTube how to do that. And I could pull those videos as source material to then train this system to be able to then create my own video essay.
