  • How Ai is Becoming Your “Future-Self Amplifier”

    How Ai is Becoming Your “Future-Self Amplifier”
    Apr 10 2025
    Ever feel like you’re drowning in admin or mundane tasks, knowing you could be focusing on your bigger future? Dan Sullivan and I have been there.In this episode of Capability Amplifier, we dive headfirst into the idea of adding Ai to your team – a powerful new “employee” that can handle everything from research to video storytelling.But the twist? As Dan and I unpack the nuts and bolts of using Ai tools, we realize something bigger...Ai can serve as a mirror, helping you reclaim (and reinvent) your PAST so you can power up your FUTURE. If you’ve been worried that technology will erase who you really are, think again. This might just be your ultimate “Future-Self Amplifier.”KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSInstant “MBA-Level” Research on DemandUsing tools like OpenAI’s Operator, Mike can instruct a “digital assistant” to log into Amazon, gather Dan’s entire book catalog, reviews, and more—in minutes. This replaces days of grunt work and eliminates procrastination.Better, Faster First DraftsBy feeding AI your raw ideas, or even transcripts of past content, you can get a cohesive outline or polished script in seconds. Your human team will love you for showing up with clarity and focus.Turning Reflection into a SuperpowerDan views AI as a feedback machine that reminds you of your best stories and greatest strengths. Think of it as a living, dynamic mirror that knows your achievements—empowering you to leverage them now.How AI Frees Your Mind (Not Replaces It)Rather than being “less busy,” Mike uses AI to become more effective. No more friction or mental blocks—just hyper-fast iteration. That kind of momentum can transform your entrepreneurial life.Building Your Future Self from Your PastDan’s big revelation: “The more you reuse the best parts of your past, the more you know about your future.” AI accelerates that discovery by surfacing hidden strengths and forgotten wins so you can deploy them now.Synthetic StorytellingTools like Invideo can create fully AI-generated videos—characters, voiceovers, animations. This is ideal for first-draft narratives, brand stories, and even personal “mini-documentaries.” You’ll never look at content creation the same way again.Therapy…or a Fast-Track to Knowing Yourself?“Knowing how to be who you actually are” can eclipse years of therapy. By reconstructing your journey—failures, comebacks, and big wins—you craft a narrative that not only sells your offer but also reaffirms who you truly are.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] AI as a New Team Member Mike explains how AI tools crush procrastination and free him to focus on creative (and profitable) work.[00:01:35] Seeing Your Future Through Your Past Dan observes how AI helps entrepreneurs “mine” their personal histories for gold, ultimately boosting confidence.[00:03:46] Game-Changing Tools A live demonstration of OpenAI’s Operator, pulling reviews and descriptions of Dan’s books automatically into a Google Doc.[00:08:00] Reinventing Marketing & Research Mike shares how AI is like having an on-demand MBA researcher—immediate, iterative, and personalized.[00:18:06] Why Tech Can’t Match Human Complexity Dan reveals his new book idea: “Technology Is Trying Hard to Keep Up”—an argument about the unmatched power of human consciousness.[00:30:10] Synthetic Videos & Brand Story Mike showcases Invideo, an AI tool that generates entire mini-documentaries—voiceovers, characters, and all—from just a script.[00:40:38] Your Past as Your Biggest Asset Dan dives into how collecting your “best-of” stories—and weaving them into marketing—can be more powerful than therapy.[00:50:04] The Future-Self Amplifier A final note on how combining your own internal breakthroughs with AI’s external capabilities is the real formula for 10x progress.If you’re ready to harness cutting-edge Ai (without losing your humanity or your personal story), this episode is your roadmap. Listen now for tangible demos, practical tips, and a major mindset shift that’ll help you 10x your productivity – and reconnect with the future you’ve always wanted.Additional ResourcesDownload your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Your Next Act!”Book your $1k Cup of Coffee with me (Mike) here.

  • Japan, Tariffs, and The Trillion-Dollar Bet

    Japan, Tariffs, and The Trillion-Dollar Bet
    Apr 2 2025
    Have you ever thought about tariffs as a "game-changer" rather than just a “political hot button”? Did you know Japan is quietly investing $1 trillion in U.S. manufacturing—especially in southern and southwestern states? That’s right. In this new episode, Dan Sullivan and I dive deep into how tariffs, strategic factory moves, and AI-driven audits may soon reduce our taxes (yes, you read that right) while fueling unprecedented economic growth in America.If that sounds like a Michael Bay movie script, you’re not far off—except this is playing out in real life, right now. We talk about Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs,” Elon Musk’s big-government audit with AI, and why countries like Japan are betting big on producing goods inside the U.S., instead of overseas. If you love big-picture, high-stakes drama with real entrepreneurial takeaways, you’ll want to tune in.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSTariffs Are Making a ComebackAfter WWII, the U.S. temporarily abandoned tariffs to rebuild other nations and contain the Soviet threat. Now that era is over, and “reciprocal tariffs” are in play—if you tax American goods, we’ll tax yours. Or you can just move your factories to the U.S.Japan’s $1 Trillion Bet on American ManufacturingFacing a shrinking workforce, Japan decided 30 years ago to build factories where they sell goods. Enter the U.S. south and southwest—lower labor costs, fewer unions, and easier access to American consumers.Moving the U.S. Government to “Warp Speed”Dan and I discuss Trump’s possible plan to use tariffs to fund government operations (hello, “External Revenue Service!”) while simultaneously lowering domestic taxes. If that works, it could trigger an economic boom.AI Audits: Elon Musk’s Government OverhaulImagine real-time accounting for every federal check ever cut. That’s what happens when you unleash advanced AI to track spending—stopping fraud and inefficiency in its tracks. Lower costs, better governance, fewer excuses.It’s Not Just About PoliticsThe reason these moves are so urgent? The U.S. economy is its greatest weapon and negotiation tool. If the numbers line up, say goodbye to bloated budgets and hello to rapid innovation.The Western Hemisphere Is the New Growth EnginePeter Zeihan’s research suggests that power is shifting west. Europe’s star may be fading, and the big action will be in North and South America—partly because the U.S. can pressure countries with economic, rather than military, force.What It Means for Entrepreneurs (and You)If America becomes the hottest manufacturing hub again, it spells massive opportunity: new factories, high-value jobs, and more disposable income at home. Plus, if government spending shrinks, taxes may drop—fueling startups, scale-ups, and everything in-between.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] Tariffs 101 Dan explains how tariffs helped the U.S. become #1 by 1900, and why after WWII we artificially dropped them to contain the Soviet Union.[00:03:10] Japan Moves In The backstory behind Japan’s multi-decade strategy: build factories in America to sidestep both tariffs and a shrinking domestic workforce.[00:10:44] Economic vs. Military Power Mike and Dan explore how the real “weapon” now is the U.S. economy—not battleships. This is reshaping alliances, trade, and even the future of space exploration.[00:14:26] Union vs. Non-Union States Why overseas giants choose red states over blue to minimize union costs—and how that might transform American politics.[00:24:19] Elon Musk & Government AI Trump taps Musk to audit the entire U.S. government using advanced AI. The potential outcome? $3 trillion “lost” dollars suddenly reappear, possibly replacing the income tax with tariffs.[00:32:57] Europe’s Diminishing Relevance Dan argues that Europe has become more of a “historic Disney World” than an innovative force, lacking the cultural spark of earlier centuries.[00:41:00] The Future Is Made in the USA Why more nations, including the UK, India, and South Korea, may follow Japan’s lead—bringing factories stateside to dodge tariffs and be closer to American consumers.If you love big ideas and epic plot twists, this episode is basically Netflix’s next political thriller—except it’s happening in real life. Join Dan and me for a mind-bending conversation on how the world economy could flip in the next few years, and what you can do to position yourself and your business for massive opportunity.Additional ResourcesDownload your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Your Next Act!”Book your $1k Cup of Coffee with me (Mike) here.

  • Mini Episode – Dan & Mike Talk "The Carnivore Diet"

    Mini Episode – Dan & Mike Talk "The Carnivore Diet"
    Mar 26 2025

    Ever wonder how simply eating steak (yes, just steak) could boost your energy, reduce inflammation, and strip off stubborn weight you’ve carried for years?

    That’s exactly what Dan Sullivan and I are discussing in this special mini-episode on the Carnivore Diet.

    We’re talking “all meat, all the time,” how we navigate restaurants and travel, the surprising drop in food cravings, and the best ways to monitor your health so you know exactly what’s happening in your body.

    Plus, I’ll share why I originally decided to go carnivore after battling colorectal cancer—and how it helped clear my IBS issues for good.

    If you’re curious about a diet that strips away the nonsense and might radically improve your blood markers, this is a must-listen.

    Remember, we’re not doctors—just two guys seeing remarkable results.

    KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS

    1. Cravings Disappear
      • Dan noticed that while his meal choices weren’t necessarily the problem, the real weight culprit was all the snacks between meals. Carnivore crushed those cravings almost instantly.
    2. Rapid Weight Loss & Inflammation Reduction
      • Dan went from 203 to 183 in about six months, and I dropped from 185–190 down to 167 in ten months. Bonus: visible abs, less puffy face, more muscle definition.
    3. Energy & Clarity Skyrocket
      • Surprise: no “meal crashes,” no nap cravings. My mental acuity soared. Dan’s focus remains sharp and consistent, all day.
    4. An “Elimination Diet” for Gut Health
      • I used carnivore to address ongoing IBS issues post-cancer. By cutting out everything but meat, I zeroed in on triggers, which turned out to be a game-changer for my digestion.
    5. A Simple Routine: Steak & Water
      • My daily go-to is a New York strip in the morning, possibly another at lunchtime, and sometimes a final cut later in the day—salt, pepper, maybe a little butter. Dan just logs his weight daily and keeps it simple.
    6. Travel Hacks & Blood Monitoring
      • It’s surprisingly easy on the road (hello, Brazilian steakhouses!). We both get regular lab work and check with our docs. Surprisingly, many markers (including cholesterol) improve.
    7. Question the Old Food Pyramid
      • Conventional food guidelines? Often the result of corporate interests. Always do your own research, test with labs, and trust how you feel above all else.

    TIME STAMPS

    [00:00:00] The Carnivore Backstory: Dan’s 6-month journey, losing 20+ pounds, and the role Dean Jackson & JJ Virgin played in getting him started.

    [00:02:57] Cutting Out Cravings: Realizing the biggest weight culprit was snacking between meals, and how pure protein intake solved it.


    [00:05:10] Mike’s 10-Month Experiment: My IBS, post-cancer rationale for going carnivore and how my steady “steak & water” routine obliterated my gut issues.

    [00:06:40] Practical Travel Tips: How to manage flights, hotels, and social dinners without falling off the carnivore wagon (butter, grills, and friendly hosts).

    [00:09:37] Bloodwork & Energy Levels: Dan’s regular labs look great, I’ve seen improved cholesterol and mental stamina. Turns out no naps required.

    [00:10:38] That Food Pyramid Myth: Why government-backed dietary guidelines can be questionable—and why we rely on data from continuous glucose monitors and quarterly blood panels.

    If you’ve ever struggled with stubborn weight, nagging gut issues, or endless sugar cravings, the Carnivore Diet might be worth a closer look. Do your homework, talk to a professional, then see how you feel when you sizzle up that next steak.
