[0:02] That's the all in code. Organize.
[0:05] Organize this a little bit better. I'm
[0:07] going to add their LinkedIn profile.
[0:10] Boom.
[0:11] I don't need more content. I don't need
[0:13] more information. I just need to surface
[0:16] what I already have and make all of that
[0:18] accessible. Now, the real question. What
[0:20] do you keep and what do you let go? And
[0:23] that's already the insights that my
[0:26] >> [music]
[0:27] >> AI agency giving me. I'm going to go one
[0:29] by one um on the applicable intermediate
[0:32] packets to start distilling all of my
[0:34] notes before we outreach to locations. A
[0:38] beautiful rainy day um happening right
[0:41] now. So, we'll see how much we can get
[0:42] done today and where our where my work
[0:45] will take me. Distill is the phase where

[1:02] materials that I have been collecting. I
[1:05] have some coffee with me now, so I guess
[1:07] more doable. Just to catch up with what
[1:10] we did last session. I run an agent on
[1:13] my second brain. It processed everything
[1:16] and then it came up with all the
[1:17] materials in my second brain that I
[1:20] could use for this research. And one of
[1:23] them was talking about intelligent
[1:25] automations. It already gives me what
[1:28] the insights are. [music]
[1:30] AI agents are resilient because they
[1:33] reason through exceptions. 2,500 miles
[1:36] west, Ethan was deciding what to throw
