I signed up for the Bootcamp and I am super excited and open to learn everything there is to learn. However, I have a question regarding AI privacy, security and legal aspects whilst we use AI to advance our businesses. In her post titled "Next Steps: Building Security into Your New Company, AI Apps, and Workflows (5 minute intermediate level reading)" @Theresa Elliott brought up some very interesting points regarding AI privacy, security and legal in her recent post. I agree that we should do things right from the very beginning to safeguard ourselves, especially when it comes to the cloning. @Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi @Dean Graziosi @AI Advantage Team I am concerned about privacy, safety and legal. So, how are the coaches going to help us safeguard ourselves within the world of AI as we use the software tools to grow our business and create all the things we talked about and more. Will there be an expert during the bootcamp who will guide us using laymen's terms on what steps to take so that we can safeguard ourselves regarding AI Privacy, Security and Legal? Is one of the teachers/experts going to guide us through these aspects of AI during bootcamp so we don't leave ourselves wide open to being hacked, and our information stolen as we feed information to AI? I am freaking out a bit.

I did not get what I was hoping for out of The AI Advantage Summit. Still, the time was not entirely wasted, as I was able to come up with the titles of nearly a year's worth of articles for publication and even wrote and scheduled the ones from now through January 2026. And through this wonderful community, I gained some additional insights and people to collaborate with. Connections matter more than hype.

Google AI and Cloud training offers a free certificate of completion if you take it directly through Google Cloud Skills Boost or Grow with Google (not through third-party platforms like Coursera). You’ll see the certificate appear automatically when you finish the modules and pass the quick quizzes. It’s an official Google-issued digital badge, which you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume at no cost. However, it’s important to be specific: - Grow with Google courses like Google AI Essentials and Prompting Essentials include a free badge or completion notice once finished. - Google Cloud Skills Boost paths (like Introduction to Generative AI or Machine Learning Crash Course) issue a free digital completion badge through your Google Cloud account. - You do not need to pay for these. The certification and learning access are both free. Coursera is accessible for free, BUT, if you want to obtain your certificate, you have to pay for it.

Here's something we hear almost daily in our community: "I know I should be using AI more, but I feel like I need to learn it properly first." Let's address this head-on: There is no "properly." There's no certification you need before you're allowed to type a prompt into ChatGPT. No AI police are going to show up at your door because your first attempts were clunky or your outputs needed editing. The myth of "doing it right"... We've been conditioned to believe that technology requires expertise. You wouldn't perform surgery without medical school, right? You wouldn't argue a court case without a law degree. So naturally, our brains tell us we shouldn't use AI without really understanding it. But here's the truth: AI tools are designed for people who aren't AI experts. They're built for business owners who need to write an email, coaches who need to outline a program, creators who need to brainstorm content ideas. The tool doesn't care if you've read the technical documentation or watched 47 YouTube tutorials. What "imperfect" AI use actually looks like... Sarah runs a consulting business and needed to create a client proposal. She'd been putting it off for weeks because she thought she needed to "master" AI first. Finally, she just opened ChatGPT and typed: "Help me write a proposal for a client who wants marketing strategy help." Was it perfect? No. Did she have to edit the output? Absolutely. Did she save herself three hours compared to starting from scratch? Yes. That's imperfect AI use. And it's completely valid. James, uses AI to clean up his rambling voice notes. He records his thoughts while driving, uploads them to an AI tool, and gets back structured outlines. Does he understand the underlying technology? Not at all. Does it save him hours every week? You bet. The real skill isn't AI expertise... The skill you actually need isn't understanding how neural networks function or what parameters mean. The skill you need is knowing what you want help with and being willing to iterate.

We just had the privilege of letting our partners over at Feeding America know that we will have another 2,000,000 meals ready to send their way in November. We just donated 1,400,000 meals in October and they just informed us that in the last few years we are now at 14,173,890 MILLION MEALS DONATED! It wouldn't be possible without all of you! 😃
