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.
