AI has completely changed the way I

0:02

invest my money, and it's not the way

0:04

you think. I was voted number one angel

0:06

investor in Canada and have personally

0:08

invested in dozens of companies with

0:10

founders of Google, even Jay-Z. [music]

0:12

And now with AI, I'm making way more

0:14

money by investing in the right things

0:16

and staying away from the wrong ones. So

0:18

in this video, I'm going to show you the

0:19

exact playbook on how to use AI to

0:22

invest your money, starting with the

0:23

very first move you need to make. Don't

0:25

preserve it, create it.

0:27

Wealth preservation sucks. Wealth

0:30

creation is super fun. Preserving wealth

0:32

is like building a wall around your

0:34

money. It blocks other money from coming

0:36

into your life. Your dollars are like

0:39

little soldiers. They should be out

0:40

there on the battlefield working to make

0:42

you more money, cuz when the money's

0:44

working for you, then you'll get to a

0:45

point where you don't need to work for

0:47

the money. Most people are stuck

0:49

penny-pinching and preserving and

0:51

couponing, and I'm like, "What? How

0:53

about we go invest to create more?" So

0:56

once you decide you're going to let the

0:57

purse strings go a little bit and deploy

0:59

your dollars, the next question is where

1:00

do you actually deploy them? You got to

1:02

spot what others don't.

1:04

You can use AI to find deals other

1:07

people miss. Things that nobody's

1:09

talking about yet. You want to find the

1:11

opportunities where everybody else is

1:13

not even looking, but it makes sense,

1:15

and that's where AI can help you in a

1:16

big way. The real wins are not in the

1:18

stuff that's obvious, buy Google. It's

1:21

asking yourself, "What's the second and

1:22

third degree plays that that unlocks?"

1:25

If you can figure out those two, lots of

1:28

money to be made. I like to invest in

1:30

real estate. So I have an agent whose

1:32

whole job is finding those hidden gems,

1:34

running the whole financial analysis,

1:36

and all I have to do is approve it.

1:37

That's how I use AI to find that other

1:40

people are just too busy or not going to

1:41

find because they're looking for the

1:42

easy stuff. So for example, I asked the

1:45

AI to come up with the seven top

1:47

research papers on where the world's

1:48

going. I then had it analyze the trends

1:51

that it found that's common across all

1:53

seven papers. I then correlated that

1:56

with my thesis in my current business of

1:58

what I'm building and had it define the

2:00

areas I should go invest in. That is how

2:03

I choose the companies to invest in in

2:05

my life. I just use the AI to do it for

2:07

me. So, here's how you can use AI to

2:09

find opportunities to invest in. First

2:10

off, open up your favorite LLM. I'm

2:12

talking Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and

2:14

then run these two prompts. These are

2:16

things you can do. Just ask it, "I want

2:18

to invest in this industry or trend that

2:20

you like. Map out the second and third

2:22

degree winners and losers. Who are the

2:23

suppliers? What are the adjacent

2:25

industries and the companies that are

2:27

going to get disrupted? Now, give me 10

2:29

names I wouldn't think of." Prompt

2:30

number two, "Now, run an analysis of

2:33

recent trends and market signals around

2:35

those names and show me the second and

2:36

third degree winners and losers that

2:38

could be real opportunities." For

2:40

example, if you told it to investigate

2:42

the AI industry, it's not going to tell

2:44

you to invest in Google and Nvidia, it's

2:46

going to talk about the energy use and

2:48

the electricians that are going to have

2:49

to install that. Let the AI keep doing

2:51

the digging for you. The pro tip is only

2:54

investing in what you know. If you don't

2:57

live in biomedical engineering, then

2:59

don't ask it to do that research for you

3:01

because you won't have an information

3:03

advantage. By the way, if you're a

3:04

business owner, you should already know

3:06

your best investment is in your

3:07

business. That's why I built my full AI

3:09

company operating system. It has

3:11

everything you need, the master prompt

3:13

templates, the workflows, the frameworks

3:14

to integrate AI into every department in

3:17

your business. If you want it, just find

3:19

me on Instagram and DM me the word

3:20

YouTube OS and I'll send it right over

3:22

to you. Now, finding great opportunities

3:24

that's a great start. But before you put

3:26

your money in, you need to know you

3:27

won't lose your money. You got to red

3:29

team it with AI.

3:31

AI, if you prompt it properly, is the

3:33

best red team you'll ever have. Red

3:35

teaming means you purposely try to tear

3:38

your idea apart. I want AI to have no

3:41

ego, no agenda, and just tell me

3:43

everything about my thesis that might be

3:45

wrong cuz guess what? If I know

3:46

everything can go wrong, then I can

3:48

figure out all the steps I can make it

3:50

right and that way I have a higher

3:51

probability of not losing my money. So,

3:53

we should always pressure test the deal

3:55

before we put money in. Most people just

3:58

skip this step, and then they pay for it

4:00

later. That's how money gets lost on

4:02

stuff that looked great that you should

4:03

have never touched. I was about to

4:05

invest in a personal finance AI tool.

4:07

Then, the AI told me about two things.

4:10

One, the GDP val for AI, and two, the

4:14

concept of economic value creation with

4:17

tokens. So, I found a great opportunity.

4:19

I was excited about it. I actually know

4:21

a lot about it. And then, when I red

4:23

teamed it, the AI explained to me, you

4:24

could, but there's a large probability

4:27

that the big AI companies are going to

4:28

launch something in that space. You

4:30

might not want to compete. I literally

4:32

could have lost millions of dollars

4:33

making that decision. So, here's how we

4:34

use AI to battle test and red team our

4:37

ideas. First, just write this prompt.

4:39

I'm about to invest into this company or

4:41

asset. Let's play out the worst-case

4:43

scenario, and give me the 10 reasons why

4:45

I would lose all my money. Now, be

4:47

honest. Be brutal. Don't be nice. Now,

4:49

you take those 10 objections, and ask

4:51

yourself, do I have an answer for each?

4:53

Right? They just become the hit list to

4:55

make sure you overcome it, cuz if you

4:56

can't with high confidence, then you

4:59

pass. Do they have a low chance of

5:00

happening? The AI doesn't know this.

5:02

You're going to have to know this.

5:03

You're going to have to make a gut

5:04

decision. But, you can use AI to get you

5:06

there a lot faster than trying to do it

5:07

on your own. So, here's a pro tip. Is

5:09

run the prompt against two or three

5:10

other top AIs. Different models catch

5:13

different things. The best deals I've

5:16

ever done are the ones I almost made,

5:18

but didn't. It's where I made the most

5:20

of my money. So, now let's say we red

5:21

team the investment. It passes the test,

5:23

and we decide to move. Now what? Let AI

5:26

monitor it.

5:28

AI has got this really cool ability of

5:30

building dashboards for you. And monitor

5:33

in real time. And the cool part is kind

5:34

of like set it and forget it. You just

5:36

sit down. You build a stock portfolio,

5:38

and then you have it monitor it. You can

5:40

even say if it moves up or down 10%,

5:42

send you an email. I do this for all my

5:44

investments. All my real estate, all my

5:46

vehicles, all my stock, all my

5:48

companies, all the valuations. It's all

5:50

in one beautiful dashboard and it was

5:52

built with AI. So, instead of like

5:54

calling people or jumping to one

5:56

platform and another platform, it's all

5:58

over the place, you have it in one spot.

6:00

And it's fun because AI can pull all the

6:02

updates and give you red, green, yellow

6:04

for all your stocks, little spark lines

6:05

to tell you if it's going up, and then

6:07

even set up alerts in case you got to

6:08

get rid of some stuff. Paying attention

6:10

to where your money goes is how it

6:12

grows. Long time ago, I was trying to

6:13

teach this to my friend and I asked him

6:15

well, how much money you have in your

6:15

business? He's like, I don't know, about

6:17

70 grand. I'm like, about 70 grand?

6:19

Like, I can tell you to the penny how

6:20

much I have today because I monitor it.

6:23

I teach this thing called the daily cash

6:24

email that I now have AI do every day.

6:27

So, if you want your money to grow, have

6:30

the AI analyze, monitor, and give it to

6:32

you. It's like Peter Drucker's quote,

6:34

what gets measured gets managed. If you

6:36

want to make money, you got to manage

6:38

it. So, how do we do it? First off, we

6:40

have to list every investment you own.

6:42

Anything you have your money in,

6:43

anything that has value, anything that's

6:45

an asset, make the list. Second is open

6:47

up your favorite AI and prompt it. Build

6:50

me a live dashboard that tracks, paste

6:52

the list, for each one of them show me

6:54

how healthy it is, look for price

6:57

movements based on the valuation of the

6:58

market, and then flag anything I should

7:01

look at, right? Look at the market

7:02

trends, look at the key signals. And

7:03

then third, tell it what matters most to

7:06

you. You got to tell it your goal so it

7:08

has a direction for how it should guide

7:10

you towards those goals. And then last,

7:12

pick a day where you sit down and you

7:14

review it. I like to do mine every

7:16

Monday when my mind is fresh and I've

7:18

got all the data for the previous week

7:20

and I look through. If everything's

7:21

green, I'm pretty good. If it's yellow

7:22

or red, I got to dig in. And here's a

7:24

pro tip, if you're using Claude, you can

7:26

actually ask it to build an interactive

7:28

artifact in the chat so it's easy to

7:30

visualize. All right, before you go out

7:32

and spend money on a bunch of

7:34

investments, I need you to hear this

7:35

last thing because all this can go to

7:38

if you don't follow a simple rule.

7:40

Stick with what you know.

7:42

The richest people invest in things and

7:45

people where they have an unfair

7:47

information advantage. AI can change a

7:49

lot, but it doesn't change what humans

7:51

know. And what you know, AI can't do.

7:54

I'm an AI guy. So, if I see some AI tool

7:57

that I start paying for, then I go,

7:59

"Hey, is this a public company? Is this

8:01

a stock I could buy?" You just have to

8:03

go, "How do I use AI to battle test my

8:05

concepts?" I made the mistake 15 years

8:08

ago to buy homes in Detroit. I spent

8:10

$100,000 buying a bunch of homes for

8:12

eight grand and about 18 months later, I

8:14

realized I was in a world of

8:16

because these homes were literally ready

8:19

to burn down. They had homeless people

8:21

in it. The guy that I was working with

8:23

never rented them out. They didn't do

8:24

the value add. The whole concept didn't

8:26

work. Why? I invested in I didn't

8:29

know. If I hadn't been a real estate

8:30

guy, I probably wouldn't have done the

8:31

deal. Sometimes pain is the perfect

8:33

teacher. I had a little pain, I learned

8:35

a lesson. I'm going to teach it to you.

8:37

Stick in what you know. The biggest risk

8:39

isn't losing money, it's wasting it on

8:41

things you don't understand. So, there's

8:43

only three filters. These three have to

8:45

pass. One, do I know about it? Do I have

8:48

an unfair advantage? Is it in the

8:50

information flow of things that I

8:51

naturally pay attention to? Cuz number

8:53

two, which is the filter, is will I pay

8:56

attention to it? Oftentimes, I won't

8:58

make an investment because if the amount

9:00

that I got to put in is not big enough

9:01

for me to care, then I know I won't

9:03

care, which means I'll probably lose my

9:04

money. So, I'd rather do less deals,

9:06

bigger number, bigger focus, what I

9:08

focus on expands than doing a bunch of

9:11

little tiny deals. And number three is

9:13

will it be true in the future? I don't

9:15

want to invest in things that going to

9:16

have high turnover because I want to

9:18

invest in things that are aligned with

9:20

where the world's going, long term, 10

9:22

years, so that I don't have to always be

9:24

re-employing my money. And AI helps me

9:26

battle test my portfolio through that

9:28

lens. One of the most recent investment

9:30

I made is in a company called Hark Labs,

9:32

which is creating an embodied model.

9:34

It's this new AI to essentially power

9:37

the robots of the future. The founder of

9:39

Figure, which is one of the top robotics

9:40

company, is the lead investor and

9:42

founder. So, do I know it? It's AI. Will

9:45

I pay attention to it? I wrote a big

9:47

check. And third, do I think the world

9:49

is going there? Uh

9:51

yeah. The future is AI-powered sensors.

9:54

Everything that's electrified will be

9:56

cognified, and that model is literally

9:59

going to power, not ChatGPT. So, yes,

10:02

yes, and yes. Buffett doesn't invest in

10:04

tech, and I don't invest in oil. Know

10:07

your edge and stay in it. And here's the

10:09

crazy part, is the next 10 years, it

10:11

won't reward the best stock pickers.

10:13

It's going to reward the system

10:15

builders, the person that can

10:16

collaborate with AI, can use it to track

10:18

its money, to battle test it, to red

10:20

team it, to ensure that it's not just

10:22

being forgotten about, but it's focused

10:24

on. I believe that my money should be

10:26

out there working as hard as I'm working

10:28

for it. So, if it's not, I got to fix

10:31

that. And AI is a great tool to do it.

10:33

So, let me know below, how are you going

10:35

to use AI to get to your next level? And

10:37

remember, if you want my full company

10:39

OS, the AI workflows and resources I use

10:42

across all my businesses, just DM me the

10:44

word YouTube OS on Instagram, and I'll
