0:38Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
0:49What do you think will be the three biggest skills that we all need to learn over the next three to five years to master using the tools of AI, but also to stand out while everyone's going to be able to use the same tools and be different and get ahead of everyone else. Yeah, I just think you have to be super resourceful, right? Like for me, I hated college because I self-taught myself everything that I felt I needed to know. You know, I was like, I like to read a lot. So I was just like, why am I here wasting four years of my life? And this is like, this was pre-internet. Uh-huh. And so like, like it was pre-internet.
1:39And all I was thinking in college was I could find a book to teach me this, read it and be done with this class. Yeah. You don't need a whole semester. I don't need to be sitting through and all this stuff. just like just i'll just read the book man and like and then when the internet came out i've always had i've always been so anti-college right i just like i've always the internet came out it's like it's insane that people are still going to college for most things like now in an ai world i'm just like are we still doing this and it's like you know it serves a different purpose right It serves a purpose of networking and it's a societal experience.
2:20Yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess if you've got to be a doctor or a lawyer or something like that, you've got to go to certain specialized training and skills to develop there. You can't just AI yourself from being a doctor. To some extent. You need hands-on training. Well, hands-on stuff, sure. Yeah, that part. Yeah, but there's a lot of other stuff that you can, AI is going to get you there quicker too. Right. So you have to be resourceful, right? you just can't be afraid. You just can't be afraid of this stuff. There's a guy I follow on TikTok and I don't even know his name offhand, but I'll give it to you so you can put him in the description.
3:01And I tell everybody I know, he does a TikTok every day and it's like 30 to 60 seconds. And this guy spends, I think, 10 to 14 hours a day deeply researching all the new AI stuff that came out that day and he's like the mr rogers of ai he'll just tell you what you need to know in 60 seconds if you're not following this guy you're insane like i do that with a lot of people yeah but this is a time just to learn it's just a time to learn and and what by learning has never been easier because learning could literally be just watching tiktok videos i mean are you kidding me people are doing already yeah you're kidding me yeah this is what you have to do to be successful in life is watch a few TikTok videos every day of people that are going to do all the hard work and then just tell you what you need to know to be successful.
3:51You don't even need to figure out, just find the people that will help you figure it out over time. So you don't have to do the hard work yourself. You could find the intermediaries who are doing the hard work for you and then just tell you, don't waste 14 hours today. Here's what I learned. In 30 seconds. Here's what you need. Like this guy's like, here's how you have to use a prompt on ChatTPT. And he'll like, I spent a week figuring out all the prompts. He's like, here's the 10 best prompts. Here they are, man. Just do it. Yeah, yeah. You get the best response. Just learn how to be resourceful.
4:28Yeah, that's interesting. The people that are resourceful are going to win. because what I can't tell you is how the next five years are going to unfold, and I won't even try because looking back through history, we haven't come even remotely close at predicting how things like this are going to play out. I mean, if I go back to 2000, we thought e-commerce was going to be this company mall.com, and if you went to mall.com, it was actually like a diagram on the internet of a mall, and it would have a square with Macy's and you click into Macy's and it would show you some products from Macy's and then you click out and if you want to go to a different store, you would click on Foot Locker but it did it through the UI of a mall.
5:18We thought that... I think they raised a ton of money, by the way. This is like bleeding-edge technologist of the time. probably a bunch of Wharton grads and consultants that were, you know, VC-backed company. And that's the best they can come up with, how they were going to bring e-commerce to the masses. So I won't even try to pretend to know how this is going to play out over the next five or 10 years. All I know is you just got to stay current. You've got to stay current because it's changing quickly. And like, if you could just be one of those kids or adults who are just willing to stay up with the times and just like stay up with what's happening every day, that's going to put you in the top 1%.
6:0899 % of people are just intimidated by it. And they're just like, they'll wait for it to come out in the Today Show.

"If you could just be one of those kids or adults who are just willing to stay up with the times and just like stay up with what's happening every day, that's gonna put you in the top 1%. 'cause 99% of people are just intimidated by it." - Chris Camillo
Chris Camillo has been ahead of every major tech wave for decades. While his college classmates sat through semester-long courses, he was reading the textbook in a weekend and moving on to the next challenge. When the internet emerged, he watched in disbelief as people clung to outdated systems instead of embracing the obvious future unfolding before them. Now, as AI transforms everything from how we work to how we think, Chris sees the same pattern playing out again - except this time, the gap between the prepared and the unprepared is widening faster than ever. He's cracked the code on something most people miss: you don't need to become a tech genius to dominate in an AI world.
What Chris shares will flip your entire approach to learning and staying relevant. He's found the shortcuts that let you absorb 14 hours of AI research in 60 seconds, discovered the people doing the heavy lifting so you don't have to, and identified why resourcefulness trumps credentials every single time. While 99% of people wait for AI trends to hit mainstream news, Chris reveals how to spot opportunities while they're still emerging. He's watching history repeat itself - the same way mall.com's "experts" completely missed how e-commerce would actually unfold - and this time, he's making sure you're on the right side of the revolution. This isn't about predicting the unpredictable; it's about developing the one skill that keeps you ahead no matter what changes.
