Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.299
All right.
00:00:00.299 --> 00:00:01.889
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:02.908
Let's do the damn thing.
00:00:02.968 --> 00:00:05.940
Welcome to another episode of What's Your Problem, the podcast.
00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:11.429
I'm your host, Marsh Buice and today, man, we're gonna talk about technology and how do you use technology?
00:00:11.429 --> 00:00:16.410
Do you use technology more or less?
00:00:17.099 --> 00:00:19.890
Because here's the truth, if you're using it to do less.
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:22.679
Technology's going to replace you.
00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:34.109
But if you're using technology to do more work, work harder, work smarter, it's gonna make you massively successful.
00:00:34.649 --> 00:00:36.899
That's what I'm gonna unpack today, this morning.
00:00:37.109 --> 00:00:47.009
This inspiration for this episode, episode 9 51, comes from Reading Coach Bill Belichick's book, the Art of Winning Lessons from My Life in Football.
00:00:47.609 --> 00:00:50.759
And specifically in chapter 14, I like to jump around.
00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:54.899
I do random reading, so I didn't start at chapter one.
00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.179
I just found the, the title of the chapter, chapter 14 is called change.
00:01:01.409 --> 00:01:03.509
So I was like, that's interesting.
00:01:03.834 --> 00:01:06.204
And so let me listen to that section.
00:01:06.204 --> 00:01:09.054
Sometimes I read, uh, random sections.
00:01:09.114 --> 00:01:12.743
Other times if I'm doing other things, I just listen to it.
00:01:12.743 --> 00:01:14.274
This morning I was listening to it.
00:01:14.484 --> 00:01:18.394
I like to read it because I can kind of soak it in and highlight those and come back to it.
00:01:19.183 --> 00:01:25.603
When I listen to those things, I just bookmark 'em and then I come back around to 'em and really unpack it in my quiet time.
00:01:25.873 --> 00:01:27.433
Coach Bill Belichick says this.
00:01:27.433 --> 00:01:33.704
He says, I'm all for technology, but the point of technology, and let me set this up before I go any further.
00:01:34.213 --> 00:01:38.174
He's talking about when he first started coaching, he used an ice pick method.
00:01:38.265 --> 00:01:40.814
And the ice pick method was he had these little.
00:01:41.234 --> 00:01:43.454
Uh, these three by five note cards.
00:01:43.454 --> 00:01:52.155
And what he did is he, he, he broke down every possible situation he could think of, and he put 'em in all kind of different offense, defense, special teams, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:52.905 --> 00:02:00.674
And so he would put these, he would punch a hole in the top and he would, uh, put, push a ice pick through'em, and they would be on his wall.
00:02:01.004 --> 00:02:03.974
And so in different situations, they would pull that ice pick off.
00:02:04.034 --> 00:02:08.025
And then how to coach in those situations would drop down.
00:02:08.025 --> 00:02:10.784
And that was his IIC method, very archaic.
00:02:10.784 --> 00:02:18.194
He said, nowadays, you know, the technology they use it costs a hundred thousand dollars a year for them to use, and he is just a point in the click.
00:02:18.194 --> 00:02:20.625
He said, but look, I'm, I'm all for technology.
00:02:21.552 --> 00:02:22.932
But the point of technology.
00:02:22.983 --> 00:02:30.393
Is so that you can work more, not work less, especially where the margins make all the difference.
00:02:30.423 --> 00:02:32.282
Now let's just park right there.
00:02:32.823 --> 00:02:34.502
The margins in your life.
00:02:34.832 --> 00:02:36.242
That's what this is a game of.
00:02:36.272 --> 00:02:39.603
He's talking about football is a game of margins, bro.
00:02:39.603 --> 00:02:41.913
Life is a game of margins.
00:02:42.802 --> 00:02:49.193
The margins are what's gonna make huge differences in your life.
00:02:49.693 --> 00:02:51.763
Success is not found in the big leaps.
00:02:52.302 --> 00:02:54.402
It's not found in the highlight reels.
00:02:55.393 --> 00:02:59.622
Success is always going to be found in the margins.
00:03:00.103 --> 00:03:08.622
And so winning, whether it be in football, whether it be in business hell, whether it be in life is found.
00:03:09.432 --> 00:03:16.362
By working your edges, it's found in the margins and the margins are these micro adjustments.
00:03:17.112 --> 00:03:32.610
Now, it takes hours of practice and dedication and years of repetition, but this is how you, this is how you get your edge and see, technology should be used to help you sharpen your edge.
00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:34.580
It should make you sharper.
00:03:35.121 --> 00:03:36.681
It should make you faster.
00:03:37.100 --> 00:03:38.691
It should make you more efficient.
00:03:39.260 --> 00:03:42.770
But lemme tell you what the danger is, most people don't use it for that.
00:03:43.204 --> 00:03:45.004
Most people use technology.
00:03:45.544 --> 00:03:46.050
If a shortcut.
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.789
As a crutch to do less.
00:03:50.479 --> 00:04:00.110
And if that's the case, if that's you, the technology that you're using as a crutch to do less is going to eventually replace you.
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.759
Coach Bill Belichick reminds us like, bro, if you have technology, so does everyone else.
00:04:07.060 --> 00:04:08.919
It's not like you got an unfair advantage.
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.539
The unfair advantage is how you use the technology.
00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:20.620
See if you're using AI to write 50 pitches, you gotta understand your competitor.
00:04:21.384 --> 00:04:28.095
Is 10 x in that they're figuring out how to do 500 pitches, same tool, different outcome.
00:04:28.305 --> 00:04:33.254
One person is just dialing it in, is using it to cut corners.
00:04:33.944 --> 00:04:41.024
The other person is using technology to expand capacity, and that's the difference.
00:04:41.324 --> 00:04:42.254
That's what's key.
00:04:42.524 --> 00:04:45.920
See, technology raises all boats and.
00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:51.968
But only for those who actually use it and use it in the right way.
00:04:52.387 --> 00:04:58.148
Many people don't even use the technology and that's the OG method is noble.
00:04:58.567 --> 00:04:59.017
Okay?
00:04:59.288 --> 00:05:00.127
It is.
00:05:00.637 --> 00:05:02.557
And so the good, good news is.
00:05:03.247 --> 00:05:13.807
If the shit hits the fan and you gotta go to analog lifestyle because you're old school, because you like the old pen to paper because you like to freehand this thing.
00:05:13.807 --> 00:05:15.458
I like to thank it for myself.
00:05:15.458 --> 00:05:20.617
I don't want to, no, you're really scared of technology, but that's all noble.
00:05:20.617 --> 00:05:27.608
If you can do that and do it analog style, meaning that you, you could do it just the old caveman style.
00:05:27.848 --> 00:05:28.478
Great.
00:05:29.033 --> 00:05:36.322
That's good because when technology shits the bed, and occasionally it does, you have to have alternatives.
00:05:36.822 --> 00:05:41.562
But technology is a tremendous companion to you.
00:05:41.682 --> 00:05:43.932
It's not a crutch, it's a companion.
00:05:44.509 --> 00:05:48.560
And technology, when used the right way, can help you do superhuman things.
00:05:49.009 --> 00:05:53.449
Because where everybody else like bro, how, how in the world you get all this stuff done?
00:05:54.170 --> 00:06:00.055
It's because you use it in the right way as a companion, it frees you up to do more impactful work.
00:06:00.685 --> 00:06:01.255
That matters.
00:06:01.255 --> 00:06:08.605
So that way you can spend your emotional and your mental currency, physical currency, even on things that even bring more impact.
00:06:08.605 --> 00:06:18.475
So while technology is sometimes that companion your caddy, if you will, now you can apply resources elsewhere.
00:06:19.490 --> 00:06:21.716
And this is how everything perpetuates.
00:06:21.716 --> 00:06:23.966
This is how everything gets big for you.
00:06:24.466 --> 00:06:25.995
Don't use technology as a crutch.
00:06:26.495 --> 00:06:29.165
I will tell you this and hear me and hear me well.
00:06:29.165 --> 00:06:46.836
Uncle Marsh told you if you're using technology to shortcut, if you're using technology to dial it in, just get it outta the way, get it done here just for the simple fact so that you can get back to seeing what everybody else is doing on social media.
00:06:46.836 --> 00:06:48.360
If you're using technology to scroll.
00:06:49.386 --> 00:06:56.886
To sit there and get back to gossiping, talking about last night's game, or just get to the next Netflix episode.
00:06:57.446 --> 00:06:59.125
Bro, you're sabotaging yourself.
00:06:59.425 --> 00:07:02.276
See you using technology as a crutch to get it outta the way.
00:07:02.276 --> 00:07:05.365
Just push, send, get the report done.
00:07:06.132 --> 00:07:06.463
Okay?
00:07:06.583 --> 00:07:08.850
You're not leveraging technology.
00:07:09.350 --> 00:07:11.389
You're, you're letting.
00:07:11.930 --> 00:07:18.752
Technology eventually replace you and hear me and hear me well, that's mediocrity at best.
00:07:19.773 --> 00:07:27.723
If you're using technology to do mediocre things, technology will take, it's gonna take you out.
00:07:28.112 --> 00:07:36.009
It's gonna replace your mediocre As and do even more things like, let me tell you how I use technology, technology.
00:07:36.694 --> 00:07:38.975
Number one, I embrace technology all the time.
00:07:39.305 --> 00:07:40.894
Like I don't mind looking stupid.
00:07:40.894 --> 00:07:43.564
I don't mind looking like a rookie because it's all temporary.
00:07:43.564 --> 00:07:46.894
It's just another notch for me, man.
00:07:47.165 --> 00:07:48.935
It's another arrow for me.
00:07:49.475 --> 00:07:49.745
Okay?
00:07:49.745 --> 00:07:56.615
So the technology, not only do I embrace it, 'cause I work 10 hours a day, six days a week in the car business.
00:07:56.855 --> 00:07:57.064
Okay?
00:07:57.064 --> 00:08:01.175
So I'm putting in about 60 hours but I have a full-time podcast.
00:08:01.834 --> 00:08:09.954
And I've been able to leverage technology using AI and using D Script.
00:08:10.735 --> 00:08:15.865
I used that not so I can do fewer episodes so I can bring you more.
00:08:16.675 --> 00:08:21.805
And so when I first started the podcast and how I do it today, it is pen to paper.
00:08:22.225 --> 00:08:24.894
I am a fan and will always.
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:26.665
Write these things down.
00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:31.000
I will use the old analog method pen to paper.
00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:32.889
I have a digital tablet.
00:08:32.889 --> 00:08:33.909
I don't like writing with that.
00:08:33.909 --> 00:08:35.350
I like a legal pad.
00:08:35.529 --> 00:08:36.399
I have 'em all right here.
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:37.509
I have a trunk right behind me.
00:08:37.509 --> 00:08:38.230
It's full.
00:08:38.289 --> 00:08:44.264
I need to buy another trunk full of legal pads that I've doing, been doing every day since 2017.
00:08:45.215 --> 00:08:51.514
So I use the analog method of, of writing, of thinking things through.
00:08:51.904 --> 00:08:56.345
But when I'm done with that now I bring technology in as a companion.
00:08:56.825 --> 00:09:01.235
I run it through AI to make sure my message is more clear.
00:09:01.595 --> 00:09:04.677
It's, it's concise, it's still me.
00:09:05.248 --> 00:09:08.128
It just root out some of the stuff that I get off on the feeder road with.
00:09:08.577 --> 00:09:10.288
So I use technology.
00:09:10.962 --> 00:09:12.673
To keep me on pace.
00:09:12.852 --> 00:09:19.903
So that way I'm not just babbling and then I use D Script, so that way I can quickly, I'm not good on GarageBand.
00:09:19.903 --> 00:09:20.802
I didn't know how to use it.
00:09:20.802 --> 00:09:24.072
It was too, I, I didn't, I didn't have studio time.
00:09:24.373 --> 00:09:24.702
Okay.
00:09:24.883 --> 00:09:29.322
So I use DS script to edit my podcast super quick, plus it clips out.
00:09:29.727 --> 00:09:33.316
The most impactful clips, so that way I save time with that.
00:09:33.576 --> 00:09:36.336
I don't use AI to come up with my episodes.
00:09:36.485 --> 00:09:38.826
Give me something motivational to talk about today.
00:09:38.826 --> 00:09:40.745
No, I do the hard work.
00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:42.365
I, I think about it.
00:09:42.546 --> 00:09:45.731
I read, I study, I write it out.
00:09:46.001 --> 00:09:46.542
But then.
00:09:47.047 --> 00:09:50.871
I run these things through so that way I can deliver a message in a short amount of time.
00:09:50.871 --> 00:09:51.831
'cause I gotta get to work.
00:09:52.101 --> 00:09:57.201
I gotta go 10 hours so I don't have five hours to develop something.
00:09:57.621 --> 00:10:04.912
And it's part of my core energy that I read, that I write, and that I deliver a message every day.
00:10:05.481 --> 00:10:07.282
And so I'm perfecting those things.
00:10:07.672 --> 00:10:08.361
To get better.
00:10:08.412 --> 00:10:10.032
So I wanna use me as an example.
00:10:10.182 --> 00:10:17.471
I'm using technology so that I can do more work and work harder, not less.
00:10:17.971 --> 00:10:19.172
So here's my challenge to you.
00:10:19.788 --> 00:10:22.729
You gotta take a hard look at how you're using technology right now.
00:10:23.869 --> 00:10:25.788
Are you using technology as a crutch?
00:10:25.788 --> 00:10:27.168
Are you just hit and send?
00:10:27.543 --> 00:10:31.474
Are you just flinging in like a old cigarette butt just done?
00:10:32.433 --> 00:10:32.854
No.
00:10:32.854 --> 00:10:35.793
Use technology man to think as a companion.
00:10:36.214 --> 00:10:37.803
It's a superhuman companion.
00:10:37.803 --> 00:10:48.850
And the more you use like tools like AI gets to know you more., I've built a body of work and so it knows how I deliver it, knows how I, how I think.
00:10:49.466 --> 00:10:55.255
And so it is the, the, the model has learned the way I deliver messages.
00:10:56.035 --> 00:10:58.586
At first it was like way out there.
00:10:58.586 --> 00:11:00.235
I was just kinda like, didn't really know me.
00:11:00.235 --> 00:11:01.405
We're just getting to know each other.
00:11:01.405 --> 00:11:04.495
But the more you feed that thing through, it's my stuff.
00:11:04.855 --> 00:11:09.162
I feed it through and it makes the messages better, more concise, I hope.
00:11:09.162 --> 00:11:11.261
So that's how you use technology.
00:11:11.922 --> 00:11:16.392
So how are you using technology as a crutch or as a companion?
00:11:16.793 --> 00:11:20.244
Are you using technology to do more or less?
00:11:20.844 --> 00:11:26.384
Because if you're using it to cut corners, it's just a matter of time, bro, before it's gonna replace you.
00:11:26.933 --> 00:11:37.476
But if you use it to expand your capacity, to push harder, to work more, to get sharper, this is where the yolk separates from the egg man.
00:11:37.976 --> 00:11:39.236
You're gonna separate yourself.
00:11:39.792 --> 00:11:41.292
Technology ain't going away.
00:11:42.192 --> 00:11:43.272
There's just more of it.
00:11:43.932 --> 00:11:49.361
And if you're already running along with it, then you just, you just bring another skill set in.
00:11:49.572 --> 00:11:53.772
So if you haven't started using technology, begin using it.
00:11:53.981 --> 00:11:54.461
Okay.
00:11:54.552 --> 00:11:56.142
You're gonna look stupid for a little while.
00:11:56.142 --> 00:11:56.711
That's all right.
00:11:57.611 --> 00:11:57.942
Okay.
00:11:58.091 --> 00:12:01.542
So use technology, get started.
00:12:02.152 --> 00:12:03.142
Push yourself.
00:12:03.562 --> 00:12:05.601
And as you do it, you'll get faster.
00:12:05.601 --> 00:12:07.402
You'll get quicker, okay?
00:12:07.402 --> 00:12:12.562
And then as new technology comes about, you'll just feed it along the way.
00:12:13.192 --> 00:12:16.581
Don't forget, I'm putting a worksheet with today's episode with that as well.
00:12:16.581 --> 00:12:18.711
'cause I want you, I want this to be a working podcast.
00:12:18.711 --> 00:12:22.192
I want this to be some self-reflection for you and really just kind of.
00:12:22.687 --> 00:12:26.226
Check yourself and be like, Hey, am I using technology in the right way?
00:12:26.287 --> 00:12:31.267
Alright, so free download for that, and if I can help you with anything, please let me know.
