Better Relationships in the Era of AI

Mike Hambright (00:00.559)
Hey everybody, welcome back to the show. Today, we’re gonna be talking about something really cool. I’m here with my buddy, Anthony Simonie. We’re gonna be talking about relationships in the era of AI. Anthony is an expert on LinkedIn and in this era where everybody is using tech and AI to communicate with people, we’re all secretly craving these relationships. So we’re gonna talk about how to build strong personal relationships that are real in the era of kind of AI and big tech. So Anthony, welcome to the show.

Anthony Simonie (00:28.194)
Hey, Mike, it’s great to be here.

Mike Hambright (00:29.869)
Yeah, this is a great topic. mean, we all know what’s going on and we all are like trying to like automate our lives. But at the same time, we’re hungry and craving those personal relationships more than ever because there’s so much there’s so much kind of stuff that’s not real out there. Like I just give you an example. I had a couple of I don’t know what’s been going on with my social media, specifically Facebook. I’ve had some stuff kind of go a little bit kind of viral-ish lately.

And it’s like, are these even real people? Like I don’t even know any of these people that are liking and commenting. And so I started joking that, hey, I’m huge in the fake world. And know, and the reality is, is I, I more than probably anybody because of my mastermind and stuff like that. Like I crave and I really kind of covet relationships and want to build strong relationships and bonds with, with people. But I’m also from a business standpoint, using all this tech to try to like automate stuff so that we don’t have to have as many conversations with.

at least prospects, right? It’s almost like we’ll use tech for prospects, but when they become a customer, then it’s all personalized. And I think everybody’s kind of fighting with that balance. I mean, you’d agree with that, right?

Anthony Simonie (01:36.824)
Yeah, is. I feel like it’s a catch-22 in some respects because we as business owners, we’re kind of forced to be efficient, right? Always look for efficiency. But at the same time, there’s this balance of using different tools for efficiency and whether or not that is helping us to build the relationships we’re looking to build because the relationships are where the trust comes in. And if you don’t have the trust, you don’t…

You can’t do business with folks, right?

Mike Hambright (02:08.636)
Yeah, yeah. And when people use too much automation, like when you start to get texts from somebody that you know, and you know, like, this just went out to like 10,000 people, this isn’t personal, then you start to, it sometimes it sours your relationship. Like, why would they send this? Why would they send that to me? Like, why didn’t he just reach out, you know?

Anthony Simonie (02:24.012)
Yeah, yeah, you’re right. It’s wild. I’ve been in the entrepreneurial world since 2008. So I’ve seen, in terms of marketing, building businesses online and offline, and I’ve seen things change so much over that time that back then you knew about some sort of tool and it was years before somebody else knew about it. Today, the playing field is just leveled.

And that’s great in a lot of respects, it’s also, I mean, we see it everywhere, right? We got a new guru popping up every 10 seconds in our newsfeed. And I think there’s a way to handle that if you’re a newbie, because I respect the hustle, right? I respect people wanting to go out and do things on their own and be entrepreneurial. But where I have an issue with that integrity-wise is if you just learned to do something last weekend and now you’re telling people, you know, give me $10,000 to…

to change your business and you’ve never done that before. To me that’s just not the spot you want to be in.

Mike Hambright (03:19.492)
Yeah.

Mike Hambright (03:25.573)
Yeah. Another thing that’s going on though is there’s a new AI tool like every like four seconds, right? So you like, and I’m in a AI mastermind and honestly, I feel like I’m a bit behind and I’ve got some friends and some of the same people, you know, that are just like on the cutting edge every day. They’re like breaking news, breaking news, breaking this whole thing. Just leapfrog this company, just leapfrog all the other ones like every day. And it gets overwhelming. Cause you’re like, man, I’m just trying to like run my business here. And what I finally just decided on was this thing. And a day later, it’s like,

That’s not even cool anymore and doesn’t work nearly as well as this thing. And so there’s a limit. But let’s talk about it in terms of kind of relationships, just like how can AI and all this tech we have out there live in a world where personal relationships are probably becoming more more important, more important than ever because people are dealing with fake relationships more than ever. And so they kind of crave that real relationship. what’s the balance there? Let’s talk about that a bit.

Anthony Simonie (03:58.616)
Yeah.

Anthony Simonie (04:20.792)
You know, I mean, for me, I kind of struggle with it too, but, and if I’m honest, I kind of have a love hate relationship with the whole thing because I see like the way it can majorly impact just all kinds of different industries and how it can impact different levels of people and depending on where they want to be in their lives, you know? And so I think there’s pros and cons to it all, but in terms of relationships, it’s like, I think you look at your tasks.

And you see how do you run your business? Where are the spots where maybe an AI tool can help you? So for example, maybe it’s research. So instead of spending 200 hours in research, maybe you can spend two hours in research. And now you’ve got what you need for whatever that task was. But then there’s even AI tools now that can have a voice AI.

And for goodness sakes, there’s profiles on different social media that are, not even real people. So, you know, it’s like, to me, there’s, I think everybody is enamored with it. Everybody is focused on it. But I think that in terms of using it the right way, I think you look at kind of like you said, like, how do you, how do you move a prospect in that example, along to a point where it makes sense now, let’s have a real conversation. Because maybe there’s points where,

you know, a real conversation just doesn’t really make sense right now. But you know, two or three more touches and maybe it does. But I think where I see people missing it, Mike, is they want to take the human out of it and just say, hey, just let the bots run wild and just handle everything. And at some point, I think that’s going to hurt some folks. I mean, I can’t tell, you know, I can’t predict the future, but, you know, I do know that if robots can do everything,

Mike Hambright (06:05.861)
Yeah, I agree.

Anthony Simonie (06:14.188)
then we got a bigger problem, right?

Mike Hambright (06:15.673)
Yeah, no doubt. You know, Tesla is coming out with this like robot. can’t I don’t even know what it’s I don’t remember what it’s called. But my wife for the second time sent me a text yesterday and said I want one of these. think they’re they’re literally like. Maybe 25 grand or so. So the funny thing is is we have a ranch as you know we have a ranch in East Texas and she’s like we need like some ranch hands like in these things like in these things like.

weed the garden and mow and like, you know, cut down trees and stuff. And I was like, I don’t know, I’m sure it’s not there yet. But it’s just a matter of time before we’ve got some robots out there as ranch hands. But you know, what’s funny is, I was just talking to somebody yesterday, and this has been going on for a while. Part of the reason that we’re here today, you and I have been friends for a while, but I committed to doing 200 podcasts this year. And so as we sit here right now, you’re the first one I’m doing of three today.

Anthony Simonie (06:51.64)
You brought it right.

Mike Hambright (07:07.871)
Now I kind of batch things, right? so, I did earlier this week, did, I think I’ve done six so far this week. And so, but last week I did none because I was tied up and had other things going on. after next week for like six or eight weeks, I’m not doing any. So I tend to kind of batch them, right? But, and that’s not my point. My point is, is that I’ve been podcasting since 2012.

done about almost 2000 podcasts under a few different brands under the most of them were under the flip nerd brand and then starting a few years ago under this investor fuel brand. And it was our annual planning last year. I just had this like, epiphany with my team. It’s like, it was kind of this general theme of like, we got to get back to basics. There’s a bunch of stuff we’re doing. That is just a distraction. And we really need to kind of get back to really relationships. And I was like, my time, like, what do I enjoy the most? And what is my time as the owner of the business?

best use and it was talking to people and building relationships and it was like try to get rid of all the administrative stuff and purge a lot of that stuff and AI. I’ve, you know, we’re not, we’re not on the cutting edge of AI. mean, I think there’s, well, certainly in our circles, like we have friends that are like absolutely on the cutting edge. So, you know, compared to them, I’m nowhere close to that, but I’m like, how do I use automation and maybe AI or tech and, or just virtual assistants, just people, you know,

people that have a lower kind of cost per hour than my time, to do all the things other than relationships. So kind what you’re saying here, like I’ve gone all in on relationships because I know that that’s honestly what I love to do the most. And I feel like there’s this divide right now of people that are stuck in this world of doing a bunch of stuff, but they crave real relationships that are just becoming harder and harder to find.

Anthony Simonie (08:56.014)
Yeah, you’re right. think that is, you know, the recipe for business, for successful business, at the top of the list is relationships, right? And that’s the thing that I’m seeing go away more and more. And it’s just because of the human element that is just being less and less valued by businesses that are really caught up. mean, I’ll give you an idea. Somebody sent me a message yesterday.

And they’re like, it was a marketing message like, hey, get my list of 8,000, 8,000 AI tools. And I’m like.

Mike Hambright (09:27.461)
You don’t even have time to read the list let alone use any of them

Anthony Simonie (09:29.678)
Okay, so like am I exactly right, which is, you know, that’s why another industry is emerging where it’s like, hey, it makes sense of this for me, right? And, but at the same time, think, you know, it is, I think moving forward and you you can, you can quote me on this and I those are going to be online probably forever, but relationships, if they go away, I think business goes away. And so we got to focus on the relationships and whether or not use AI tool to do that.

Mike Hambright (09:38.565)
Yeah. Right.

Anthony Simonie (09:59.566)
I think it’s kind of your call. I think use AI where it makes sense and technology where it makes sense and then don’t use it where it doesn’t make sense because that’s what’s going to be. And this is the other thing. Somebody asked me the other I think it was last week on a podcast and he asked me, said, so what do you think is going to be your best chance to have a competitive advantage moving forward in this world? And I said, I had to think about for a second, I was like, you know what, be you, like who you are authentically.

Don’t like 45,000 filter your picture that you’re gonna put on your profiles or on your videos. Look like who you are, be who you are, and focus on the relationship. I think you’re gonna stand out a lot more than most of your competition.

Mike Hambright (10:46.405)
Yeah, it’s crazy even right now and this is going to like who gosh imagine the evolution just in a year let alone five or 10 years. You can right now I can upload because of you know our our buddy Francis Ebola he’s.

was a keynote at Investor Fuel. And he took a picture of me. And then he turned it into a video, which was all made through AI. And it made a video of me. It didn’t. It looked it looked like me. But to me, I’m like, that’s not me. You know, have like a had like a butt chin. I was like, that’s I don’t have a butt chin. Anyway, I knew it wasn’t me. But it was all AI. And he basically listened to my voice. And then he wrote a whole script for it to read in my voice. And it was all me. And like people are doing this now on social media. Obviously, they’re like, I want to create

Anthony Simonie (11:00.963)
Yep.

Anthony Simonie (11:16.462)
you

Mike Hambright (11:28.775)
social media content, but I just want to outsource the whole thing. So like write a bunch of copy that sounds like maybe it came from me and go create all these videos that kind of look like me. But everybody knows it’s like that’s that’s not you. Right. It’s just it comes down to kind of being raw and real. So I think there’s a balance there. Everybody needs to find that balance. But at the end of the day, people people want to work with people. Right. And so real people like humans.

Anthony Simonie (11:41.592)
Yeah.

Anthony Simonie (11:46.926)
Yeah.

Yeah, that’s just it, know, think about it. Yeah.

Yeah, well, that’s just it. We were kind of joking before we hopped on here about that commercial, right? I forget, it’s like an insurance commercial, maybe a state farm or something. And two people are on the phone, they have a split screen, and each of them are debating each other saying, hey, prove to me that you’re not AI. And they’re like, prove to me that you’re not AI. And so what that means to me is that so many more people, Average Joe’s, Average Jane’s, that don’t understand typically the marketing world and all that stuff, they’re now…

they’re being woken up to it. to your point, it’s like when everybody knows that it could be that, if you can do things that make you stand out as like, I’m not doing that and I’m really a human and I care about the relationship, it’s silly to think about, because it’s like, that’s the basis of business and it’s always been, right? But even more so now and ever, you gotta prove to them that you are.

Mike Hambright (12:51.011)
Yeah, yeah. Well, let’s talk about, mean, one of the things that we talked about upfront was like, have a, I know you’re an expert on LinkedIn and you help people raise money and find deals and find all sorts of ways to work together. So let’s talk about kind of creating that professional online appearance so that.

which is real, like really you, but you can utilize AI to help you build that, to look very professional, right? And so talk about kind of using AI to help you in the real world, if you will, in terms of like having that professional appearance online, on social media and things like that.

Anthony Simonie (13:22.659)
Yeah.

Anthony Simonie (13:29.23)
Well, yeah, so it’s wild because even in the world of wholesaling or just raising money in general, right? Going to find private lenders or whoever you’re looking for in that world, we now live in a world where everybody is searching you on the internet. So I promise you, before somebody gives you any amount of money, they’re going to type your name in the internet and they’re going to see how you show up. And the thing about LinkedIn is,

If you have a profile, it’s going to show up on page one of the search for your name and probably in the very first position. So what that means is if you’re trying to do business with other people that are business professionals that have money, they’re going to understand that LinkedIn is a professional network. So if they search you up, they go onto your profile and it looks like the lights aren’t on, it kind of works against you. Now on the flip side, if you have it dialed in,

it works for you because of the same reasons. And so I always tell people, look, again, if you want to stand out, number one is be yourself, be authentic. But secondly, show up professionally online. mean, unless you’re selling like a $27 widget, then people, they probably don’t care all that much because if they lose, they make a bad purchase, they don’t feel stupid. There’s no real consequence there. But when they’re investing in a deal,

Right? That’s a lot different. And so what I’ve noticed is a lot of folks now who are dialing in their profiles, they’re showing up professionally online. And again, LinkedIn is a professional platform and everybody knows that. And that’s why we focus on that before we go anywhere else. If you do that, you’re now standing apart from your competitors. And if you’re asking for significant amounts of money, you have to do that and to stay in age. And so…

building your profile, there’s lots of different things. And maybe, Mike, what I do is just maybe somewhere on the page or I’ll give you a way to get people access to a guide that I have that’ll walk them through how to optimize their profile. And it’ll be like a nice gift for them to be able to go and dial in their profile.

Mike Hambright (15:43.077)
Share that at the end. have we got to keep people on keep keep people listening here till we get to the end and we share where to get things that you know what’s interesting is because I you know a little bit about my story corporate refugee was in corporate America went to grad school down in your neck of the woods went to UT and Austin met my wife there within the in the NBA program. And you know that was a time where everybody was coming out and going to into Wall Street you know consulting with Kenzie and Bane Booz Allen all those all the big guys right and so that’s that’s what we went in to do but.

Shortly after the program started, this is how old I am, 9-11 hit like a month later. And then for the next couple of years, it was just a terrible kind of market, right? But anyway, back in kind of my corporate days and up until that time, I used LinkedIn a lot, like for a lot of things, because it was a lot of networking. That is kind of the, back at that point, that was the social media platform for corporate America, right? But even now, so I’ve kind of come full circle. Now I do a bunch of stuff on a bunch of platforms, but

I find myself as we’re talking here, knowing that I need to lean more back into LinkedIn because that is like the other social platforms are more like entertainment. I would say it’s kind of how I would say it is education and entertainment, but it’s not like as good of a networking tool as LinkedIn. I mean, I know you’re partial to LinkedIn, but how would you compare it? Like, you know who our audience is, is a lot of professional real estate investors like

Anthony Simonie (16:55.106)
Yeah.

Mike Hambright (17:10.095)
how can they better utilize LinkedIn versus other platforms? Because I think a lot of people in my inner circle, if you will, on average, are probably using LinkedIn. They might not be using TikTok or anything like that at all, but they’re probably not using LinkedIn as much as they maybe should be.

Anthony Simonie (17:25.784)
Yeah, yeah, so that’s a great question. And I think a lot of people have tried at one point or another, but it’s just, people don’t know, they think there’s gold over there and there is gold over there, but they don’t know how to mine it. And so when you think about LinkedIn, you’re right. It used to be, and people still do this day when I speak on stage, people are like, I thought that LinkedIn was a place to go post a resume or to look for a job or to find somebody to hire. And it’s great for that. But…

Mike Hambright (17:49.679)
Yeah.

Anthony Simonie (17:52.46)
There’s another side to it. If you leverage the right approach, the right processes and strategies, you can go in and you can generate conversations and leads and new investors consistently because you can get right to the type of person you’re trying to reach. And you can do it without spending a bunch of money in advertising. And you said it perfectly when you said networking. Like everybody understands

that LinkedIn is a networking platform and that is an advantage for us. Why? Because Facebook and Instagram and all these other social media platforms, they’re great. I don’t poo poo on them because there’s a strategy for that. But no matter where we go from LinkedIn, we always start with LinkedIn. Why? Because we can go directly to who we want to reach without all paying for ads, without having to dance around the psychology of why we’re here. They know you’re there to network. So as long as you don’t come across as like a hypey

you’re kind of barking at them and you’re there to build relationships, you’re going to have a lot more success than you will just going out somewhere else and paying for that traffic. And here’s the cool part. A lot of people on LinkedIn already have, one of the strategies we use is what we call strategic alliances or strategic partnerships. Where we go and we find people that would already have the type of people you’re trying to reach in their audience, whether it be a book of business or…

a group that they’re a part of or whatever it is, and we create relationships with them because now we can bring solid value to their audience and make them look good. It’s warm endorsements all day long.

Mike Hambright (19:29.989)
That’s great. Yep. So maybe I don’t know if we kind of tied a bow on this yet. Let’s talk about how to use AI a little bit to help you create that professional presence. And then you’re kind of using it as a tool to supplement the real the real world. Right. And so obviously you could go get a image made of yourself and kind of clean up the image and make it look better. You could also have something create a caricature of you that’s not even you. So you probably would recommend staying as real as possible. Right. But it’s kind of like

Anthony Simonie (19:42.254)
Yeah.

Mike Hambright (19:59.617)
images and maybe even cleaning up some of your writing to describe yourself like Talk about how you would use it and then let’s get into like how to use it to at least start the communication I know that there’s a lot of tech out there to help you start conversations with people I think we’re both big fans of like don’t let them finish the conversation But maybe use it as kind of starting the conversation kind of you know, it’s like a fishing line You’ve got some bait in the water the bait doing its job out there, but you’ve still got a real man, you

Anthony Simonie (20:26.444)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right. Yeah. And again, it goes back to use it where it makes sense. Use it and then don’t use it where it doesn’t make sense. So yeah, in terms of your profile and using AI, you know, one of the best things you could do, even if you’re not going to be on LinkedIn is go do some research. Like if you’re looking for, you know, private lenders or private money, like you could easily do some research on like what’s most important. Like you go, go to chat GPT and you could get all the information you want about.

Mike Hambright (20:32.493)
Right.

Anthony Simonie (20:53.582)
What is important to a private lender from their perspective? What do they look for? How to make yourself stand apart from other people that do what you do? And you start doing these kinds of research, these prompts for the research, and what that ends up doing is allowing you to create not only imagery that would make sense on your profile, but also there’s four key areas that I talk about when I usually teach this on a webinar or in a…

in a group fashion. And that’s your cover image, your profile photo, your headline, and about section. Those are the four areas that you really need to make sure you have dialed in before you start doing your outreach to people. So, hey, I can’t help you guide that. I would definitely recommend not messing with your profile photo in a way that it creates something that doesn’t look like you. Because that’s one of the advantages you’re gonna have if you continue to just be authentic.

you’re going to stand out because lots of people are using the AI. It used to be a joke, right? Mike was like, real estate agents, know, they never look like who they are, right?

Mike Hambright (22:00.389)
Like the 20 year old glamour shots photograph.

Anthony Simonie (22:07.374)
That’s it. That’s it. And they were great in the 90s, right?

Anthony Simonie (22:14.988)
But yeah, use it there. I’d say, you know, research is, it’s really effective for research. And you want to do that because I think when we get into writing and trying to figure out what to say, it’s very helpful there because if for nothing else, it’ll give you some inspiration. And the other thing I’ll tell people is don’t take what the AI gives you necessarily and use it as is. I would look at it and I would change it, personalize it more.

and make it more fit who you are. if you have this whole presence online and people pick up that maybe you have a certain tonality or a certain disposition and then they have a conversation like this here and they’re like, well, you nothing like, that could be good or bad, right? But again, either way it creates a disconnect with that.

Mike Hambright (22:57.797)
Alright.

Mike Hambright (23:04.365)
Yeah, yeah, I’ve been threatening for like 10 years to write a book and I think it’s finally gonna happen this summer is kind of my plan. That’s the first time I’ve actually probably announced that so you guys maybe hold me to it. But I’ve played around a little bit to basically say, know, give some inputs and these are my table of contents, help me kind of come up with a structure. And it’s come back with things I was like, oh my God, this is like really good. I hadn’t thought about that, right? But I would say this differently and I kind of like go and.

Anthony Simonie (23:14.722)
You’re on the hook.

Mike Hambright (23:32.067)
and edit it to make it my own. But then I’m seeing ads like, write a book in like seconds. I’m like, that won’t be me. Like I know that it wouldn’t sound like me. wouldn’t, like I would read it and I would be like, and there are people doing it too. They’re like, I don’t know what he’s gonna read it. It just makes me look like I wrote a book. It’s like, know. So don’t be that guy, I guess.

Anthony Simonie (23:52.856)
Well, I’m always looking at the long game, you know? It’s like, think we as humans, we have this like kind of built in, we want this instant gratification and that’s great and all, but in business, I find the more you can think about the long game and again, it’s relationships, right? Like if you don’t get everything you want right now, but you could with the right approach and building the right relationships down the road, I think it’s every bit worth doing that.

Mike Hambright (24:16.835)
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. You sometimes you honestly there are some things that I’ve bought before from people that it was so crappy that I it’s impacted my

faith or trust in that person or my belief in that person is like, why would they put that out? You know, just like soured, like I just don’t, I wouldn’t trust them with certain things now, just because of crap that they put out. This isn’t even necessarily AI stuff. This is even kind of before that. I’ve known a few people that, you know, have, kind of quote written books, but they kind of followed some of the advice of like, just talking to a voice. This is before AI, just into a voice recorder and then get it transcribed and then just print it. It’s like this.

Anthony Simonie (24:41.763)
Yeah.

Anthony Simonie (24:55.725)
Yeah.

Mike Hambright (25:01.017)
This is stupid, like why would you want to be associated with that? But they did it.

Anthony Simonie (25:06.87)
Yeah, yeah, I think again, it’s like it’s the instant gratification of, you know, just getting something out there. And I think there are times when, you know, it’s like perfection is like the enemy of progress, right? You hear that. But in some respects, depending on what you’re working on, you definitely don’t want to put something out there that just reflects upon you as like, you just don’t put out good stuff. And I think people always ask me when I do webinars, like, why do you give away so much stuff? Like, why do you talk about

I’m like, because you can never go wrong with serving people that way. And I’ve had people that will attend a webinar or something and they’ll take something I told them to do and they’ll go and they’ll land their largest client that they’ve ever had. I’ve had that multiple times and that person never become a client, but you know what they do? They send me everybody that would potentially make sense to have a conversation. And I think that’s the mindset you have to get yourself in because

You know, we live in a day and age where, I mean, if they search long enough to probably figure out what you’re doing anyway, just give it to them. Because I know a lot of people, they’ll just come to you and say, why don’t you just do it for me? you know, why don’t you just, and they’ll just hire you based on that. Like you serve them well and they see that and they feel it.

Mike Hambright (26:23.973)
Yeah.

Yep. Yep. Yep. I agree. Well, Anthony, I know you’ve got some great stuff. I know you have some great resources. You really are an expert in the LinkedIn area and other social media platforms. And I think this conversation is very timely, obviously, right? I’m just like, how do you balance between being real and using tools that you could abuse for sure?

But back to your comment, I use this phrase all the time about the long game, play the long game. I probably said that a thousand times this year to date. And I think that long game includes you being a real person that people actually want to work with, want to refer people to look up to, aspire to be more like or work with or something, right? And you’re just not going to get that if you abuse AI and you abuse tech to represent yourself as somebody that you’re not.

Anthony Simonie (27:18.882)
I agree 100%, absolutely.

Mike Hambright (27:20.997)
Yep. So if folks want to connect with you, Anthony, I know you have some resources, too, like give us some links. Where can they go?

Anthony Simonie (27:27.554)
Yeah, you can go to AnthonySimoni.com is a great place to go. We can connect with me. I’ve got my LinkedIn, I’ll link to connect me on LinkedIn and Facebook and my email address is Anthony at AnthonySimoni.com. then depending on, like I said earlier, I’m happy to give that resource to folks as well where I’ve got a whole guide that will walk them through every portion of their profile and just give them examples and how to approach it the right way.

So I’ll give you a separate link because I don’t typically advertise that. I’ll give a separate link and then folks could either maybe a QR code or a link and they can scan it or go to it and get that guy.

Mike Hambright (27:58.021)
Is that on your side or how do they get that?

Mike Hambright (28:12.357)
Okay, you’re gonna share that if they message you or?

Anthony Simonie (28:15.598)
No, share it. I’ll send it over to you. I’m going to create it specifically for you. yeah.

Mike Hambright (28:20.375)
Okay, okay. Well, yeah, send it to me when you get, as soon as we get off here. I want to make sure it gets in the notes there. So the ultimate cliffhanger, we said we’ll give it to you at the end. And at the end, we said we’ll give it to you once you, once you, well, they’ll, they’ll see it here in the notes. So check the show down below guys for this extra secret link that Anthony is going to share with me. So, Hey man, thanks for joining us on the show today. Great to see you always.

Anthony Simonie (28:35.662)
Yeah.

Anthony Simonie (28:45.102)
Yeah, likewise, it’s an honor to be here and happy to, if you ever want to dive into the actual LinkedIn strategies and stuff, maybe I’ll come back and share some of that. Or maybe I’ll just come and join you live at the ranch and we’ll do that.

Mike Hambright (28:54.115)
Hey, that’s good. always love hanging out with you. cool. Everybody, AI is an amazing place. Just make sure you’re not abusing it. So make sure you’re kind of staying on the cutting edge and you’re using it to supplement the relationships that are really going to drive in your business. It really doesn’t matter what business you’re in. Real relationships are not as prevalent as they used to be or becoming harder and harder to build, but you can stay on the cutting edge of it, I guess, if you’re intentional about it. So make sure that you are. So appreciate you guys. Hope you enjoyed today’s show.

We’ll see you on the next one.
