1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,950
Well, my confidence level is extremely high because you've

2
00:00:03,990 --> 00:00:08,020
enabled me to feel comfortable in my communication with

3
00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:11,970
Codex, teaching me to talk in a different way—ask

4
00:00:12,010 --> 00:00:14,210
questions as opposed to give directives.

5
00:00:14,850 --> 00:00:18,380
And even after we finished our session, I spent a lot of time

6
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:22,300
doing more work because I felt comfortable enough to dig deeper.

7
00:00:23,030 --> 00:00:26,490
And let me tell you, for somebody with my generation to have confidence

8
00:00:26,530 --> 00:00:30,810
going into, uh, an AI system is remarkable.

9
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:33,260
It's nothing I would have ever expected.

10
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:37,290
For somebody like me, the frustration of not knowing how to

11
00:00:37,330 --> 00:00:41,170
dig deeper to get the information is an inhibitor at work.

12
00:00:41,210 --> 00:00:43,590
And that inhibitor has gone away entirely.

13
00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:47,880
I suddenly feel like I have a facility that I never

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,820
imagined having.

15
00:00:48,860 --> 00:00:53,080
I'm currently operating on a $500,000 budget annually.

16
00:00:53,870 --> 00:00:57,610
And I can confidently say that I'll raise $2 million

17
00:00:57,650 --> 00:01:00,770
based on the work that we've done together, because you've radically

18
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:04,430
increased my donor lists, my potential donor list.

19
00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:08,790
And I think that without any effort, I could

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,820
20× that $500,000.

21
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:15,930
The challenge would be for me to figure out how to deploy that.

22
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:19,170
So it would take me some time to put the pieces together to deploy the

23
00:01:19,210 --> 00:01:23,330
$10 million. But I could get there based on the amount of the

24
00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:26,490
way we've aggregated information and made it easier for me to do the job

25
00:01:26,530 --> 00:01:27,490
of fundraising.

26
00:01:27,530 --> 00:01:31,470
These five lists generated by Codex and

27
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:35,590
working with you took less than an

28
00:01:35,630 --> 00:01:36,950
hour in total,

29
00:01:36,990 --> 00:01:41,130
While if I had to do this myself, even with

30
00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:45,290
a staff member helping me, we would have taken up a full week's

31
00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:49,450
work—a 40-hour workweek of time—to create these

32
00:01:49,490 --> 00:01:52,630
lists. And I'm also certain that some of these lists would have fallen

33
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:55,270
by the wayside because we would have had to prioritize which ones

34
00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:57,410
mattered because this isn't our day job.

35
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:01,190
The easiest part about working with Seth is while he

36
00:02:01,230 --> 00:02:04,590
is incredibly capable and knowledgeable about the products that he's

37
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:08,700
sharing, he speaks and communicates with me in

38
00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:09,260
a way that is

39
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:13,220
easy to understand. He's not lost in language

40
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:15,060
that would be off-putting.

41
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,400
He understands that my

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,320
ability and confidence in working with Codex was very, very limited.

43
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:24,260
And he quickly got me up to speed by speaking, quote, my language.
