“Then I, you know, you want to download a clip, and I'm like, that's a lot of work. So I told it, hey, do me a favor. There's all these like open source projects to rip, you know, an Instagram, Twitter. YouTube video, and they all get shut down when they're on the web, but the open source projects are still there.

“And so I do production meetings now for the podcast. I pop up and I plod. I do the production meeting I say, here's what I want to talk about on the pod. These are the four or five topics, and I will be talking to two producers or two executives at the firm. And then I can just summarize it. It has a whole gallery of different transcripts, summaries, action items, all different ones being created, like the skills.

“Inside the wallet is my plot. And what it is is it's a little thin piece of hardware. And you'll see there's a light on it. And there's a little button that you can barely see. When I hold the button down, it starts and stops. And it does a little haptic. So I hold it and then it starts recording. When I go out of the ski mountain, I start it recording. And I have a plaud pin I wear, which is a different form factor. And so when I start my day, I record. Now I'm on this podcast. It's recording my side. It can't hear your side. But I just talk to it all day long. And if I'm in a meeting, I use it and I put it on the table and it has like a little indicator that it's recording. So it's like moving a little strip across. Then at the end of the day, it knows when I say action item, it knows when I say tell this person to do this or ask this person about that or remind me about stuff.”
