Hi there everyone.

A great bit of Monday Motivation comes from Helen Rowland.

"You will never win if you never begin."

Last day of £100 discount. As last day of July. MARKETING100

As yes I forgot there are 31 days in July. But luckily for me I didn’t forget to check the polls last night and guess what.

THE WINNING VOTE WAS FOR MONDAY!

So I used Sunday, whilst my daughter was asleep as her plane was delayed coming home from holidays, to read up on the last week in technology, AI and the future of work to create this new edition for you.

Welcome to the new newsletter. All about technology, AI and the future of work.

This AI Revolution: IS Not For the Faint-hearted

Greetings from the future of marketing where AI, the intuitive genie, is awaiting to transform your entrepreneurial journey.

Are you ready? Ar we ready? Am I ready?

Or are you, like most, "grotesquely unprepared to cope" with the changing tides of marketing and society as suggested by fellow futurist Alvin Toffler in his book Future Shock1?

The change is here, and it's racing at a pace we don't yet fully comprehend.

“In our time, life changes so fast that we no longer know how to act"

Toffler expertly diagnoses the onset of future shock. What you need more than ever is guidance, a roadmap to navigate this new territory, as my friend and mentor Tom Cheesewright says in his talks - this is likely to be the slowest pace of change the world ever sees…

But what can we do - as the pace - speeds up?

Welcome to the Future, Innovators!

The giants of today are bowing down to AI - Amazon is growing its generative AI efforts. Whilst other people in the entertainment industry are re-imagining its production with AI's light guiding its steps. You should see the generative AI videos that are now being created!

But as we also see in Hollywood there is a lot of negative reaction to part of this change as well. Hence the script writers STRIKES.

Which are not surprising as suddenly, seemingly insurmountable tasks like writing new movies, creating engaging emails, crystallising trends and predictions, and developing marketing strategies turn into a walk in the park with the aid of AI. Artificial intelligence seems to be here to streamline your mundane tasks, freeing up your time, not replacing but enhancing your efforts.

However, this transition isn't painless. As OpenAI's recent attempt with their AI Text Detector proved, the learning curve in AI is steep. But in the wise words of Toffler, what we need today are

"preparation and coping skills”

And to this I would add education too. But what can we do if the people who created some of the technology now believe due to how quickly it has advanced that even they can’t reliably tell when is computer generated and what is human? And does it really make any difference to how we consume or produce things anyway?

From a marketing POV I don’t think it matters. Marketing is getting goods and services to the right market - whether that’s a horse drawn cart or a lorry. The person at the end of it all - doesn’t care. But does it matter for deeper thought, for art, for empathy and compassion? For society? For You?

Stay Ahead of the Curve: Take Control!

Dive into the world of AI marketing with our expertly crafted online course, starting August 14th. Built for pioneers like you, it promises to unlock your potential with AI tools and practices. We've left no stone unturned - from #AI prompts to #artificialintelligence tools. Get ahead of the game at just £179. And, as an added bonus, take an extra £100 off with the code Marketing100. Don’t hesitate, grab the last spot and level up! Enrol here.

Perhaps we survive by working together more?

In the strangely close-knit community of innovators and trailblazers, we've come to realise the strength of unity—case in point, Hugging Face, GitHub, and others combining forces to defend open source.

I like this idea. And it might well be the future of work itself. Let's stand with them and learn from the collective intelligence as we shift towards a more collaborative work environment.

Ever wonder why you might feel mentally drained despite doing everything right? Well these six habits could be secretly contributing to your misery. Also, dig into a relatable reality check about how dealing with life's daily uncertainties can equip us for navigating the unpredictable world of marketing. And this new future with AI.

Finally, the last thing we need to do. Is to learn to embrace change—this will be an essential survival skill in the fast-paced world of marketing and the world of technology - which is happening right now.

Embrace the Future - It's Happening Now!

Remember, the road to the future is paved with AI but also WITH humanity. The more humanity we can add into the new revolution the better it will be for us all..

So with that, I had best go be a dad, and wake up my teenage daughter and teach her a little about AI. And watch some Marvel.

See you next week (or maybe in two weeks time) to continue this journey into the future. Until then, keep adapting, keep learning and above all, stay human and if you can LOVE what you do.

As loving their work is what - right not - AI cannot do for us.

You don’t have to love this - but …

Today is the last day. And aptly it’s also the last place. So it’s the last chance.
