Ep159: The Ai Show
Episode Summary:
Today’s episode is all about Ai or Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT and how they can be used by podcasters and content creators.
The Confession:
The entire script of this episode was written by ChatGPT in a matter of minutes and I read it word for word.
My reason for creating this episode was to have a little fun while also teaching the basics of Ai that I think is a mystery to many (including myself), but it is certain to have an enormous impact on life as we know it. If this is your first time hearing about ChatGPT, I encourage you to give it a try. To say it is impressive is an understatement.
Episode 159 Overview:
In this episode 159, I will discuss the benefits of using AI for podcasting, how ChatGPT works, and some of the ethical and social considerations that come with the use of AI.
The Script (Generated by ChatGPT):
What is Artificial Intelligence?
There are several different types of AI, including:
1. Narrow AI: This type of AI is designed to perform a specific task or function, such as language translation or image recognition.
2. General AI: This type of AI is designed to perform a wide range of tasks and adapt to new situations, similar to how a human brain can learn and adapt.
3. Strong AI: This type of AI is designed to be indistinguishable from a human in terms of its ability to think and reason.
AI is being used in a variety of fields, including healthcare, finance, education, and transportation, to improve efficiency and automate tasks.
However, the development and use of AI also raise ethical and social concerns, such as the potential impact on employment and privacy.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a chatbot that uses a natural language processing Ai model (NLP) and machine learning to generate human-like responses to user input. It is based on the GPT-3 language model developed by OpenAI, which is one of the largest and most advanced language models currently available. ChatGPT is able to understand human language inquiries and then generates appropriate responses.
Here is how ChatGPT works:
1. ChatGPT receives input from a user in the form of a message or question.
2. The input is processed by the chatbot's NLP algorithms, which analyze the words and phrases used and determine the intended meaning.
3. Based on this analysis, ChatGPT generates a response using its machine learning algorithms, which have been trained on a large dataset of human-generated text.
4. The chatbot's response is sent back to the user, who can then continue the conversation by providing additional input.
5. This process repeats until the c

As Eleanor Roosevelt famously said, Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so today I simply want to say hello, reconnect and bring you up to speed on what I’ve been up to and what I have planned for 2022.
Episode Summary:
Hello and welcome to episode 157: The 2022 Life Update Show.
It’s been a minute since I published an episode and I simply wanted to touch base and provide a quick life and business update. So, let’s go.

In Today’s episode, I am going to read a simple, but practical checklist from a book that I recently finished to help or inspire you to create a positive change in your life
Summary:
The checklist I am going to share with you today is from the book, What to Say When You Talk To Yourself by Shad Helmstetter which is all about rewiring your brain with positive thoughts and self-talk.

TIP
If you have an Amazon Alexa device, you can buy Kindle books on Amazon usually for $3.99 or less and use the Alexa app on our iOS Device and listen to your Kindle books like an audiobook. The voice of Alexa is a little robotic and not nearly as high of a production value as an Audible book, but it’s been a great discovery for me and I’m finding myself consuming a lot more books listening like I do podcasts at a fraction of the cost of Audible books.
Whatever you put into your mind in one way or another, is what you will get back out, in one way or another
Are you kind and positive and encouraging when you talk to yourself?
Do you beat yourself up over all the things on your to-do list that you can’t seem to get done or the projects that you never seem to have time for or the failed attempts at getting in shape, or the inability to get ahead financially, etc.

This episode breaks down the process of how to move your show (podcast) from one podcast hosting company to another without losing any subscribers.
Topics covered in this episode:
When you start podcast, one of the major decisions you will make is where to host your show. There are many podcast hosts available but some of the more popular ones include:
Others hosting companies include:
Overview of Podcast Hosts:1. Audio File Storage & Delivery2. Generate your RSS Feed3. Publishing & Syndication to directories.
Audio File Storage & Delivery To store your audio files and serve them to listener devices when someone clicks play or download from a podcast app or an embed player or anywhere your podcast episodes can be accessed.
Generate your RSS Feed which is the link between your show and subscribers and to all of the podcast apps and directories.
Every podcast has one unique RSS Feed and that usually only changes when you change podcast hosts.
Note: Your RSS Feed is not always generated at the location where you store your audio files. When moving a show, you will do so wherever your RSS Feed is located and not necessarily where your audio files are stored.
My original set up was using the Powerpress plugin by Blubrry on my Wordpress website and I hosted my audio files for download only on the podcast host, Libsyn.
If your RSS Feed was generated by Powerpress, then that is the location where you would redirect your feed.
Ask if you are not certain.
Additional roles of podcast hosts:Analytics, websites, sharing tools, embed players, and some even have world-class support!
A podcast directory is simply a library or catalog of podcasts where one can browse, listen, and subscribe to new shows.

Apple Podcasts

Behind the scenes of my simple and practical new financial freedom plan to help me create the life I want. Today is about taking action and control of your finances so you can create the life you want.
I Will Teach You To Be Rich
By Ramit Sethi
1st Edition:
My biggest takeaway from the 1st edition was setting up online banks for automating your finances. Set it and forget it. Deposit your paycheck in a checking account and have set amounts go to bills, savings, and investments automatically.
2st Edition:
I ordered the audiobook from Audible immediately and listened to it non-stop for 2 days.
This book is a crash course in the fundamentals of investing and also very tactical in that he gives step by step advice along with specific recommendations for investments and online banks.
I Will Teach You To Be Rich caused me to take action 10 years ago and it had the same effect on me the 2nd time around because the message throughout the book is taking the time to do this now will help you create the life you want.
This book will teach you exactly what to invest in, how to set up online banking so your savings and investing are automatic, and what it means to live a rich life.
It’s not about the money, it’s about intentional living and purpose.
The Latte Factor
by David Bach
Podcast Mentioned:
The James Altucher Show
I also listened to The Latte Factor on Audible from start to finish.
The Latte Factor is story about a girl named Zoey who is a twenty-something working and living the dream in NYC and is buried under student loans, debt, and living paycheck to paycheck just trying to make ends meet. Not an unfamiliar story for many. The thought of savings and investing are the furthest thing from her mind as she can barely afford rent. This is a story many of us have experienced and it can be a vicious cycle of financial stress and worry working hard just to pay debts and eek by without being able to put any money aside for travel or savings or retirement.
Zoey meets a wise old man who changes her perspective and teaches her many valuable money and life lessons such as the power of compounding interest and one of the the most important lessons of this book and my biggest takeaway from the book is Pay yourself first.
**Pay Yourself First: **
You take the first hour of every working day and put that in your savings or investment account.
Example:
You work 8 hours per day
You take your hourly rate for 1 hour out of the 8 hours
You put the f

Today is the 3rd anniversary of Mike Murphy Unplugged and this an update episode about change, development and creating the life you want. I have some exciting news to share with you.
Episode Summary:
I started this show on Friday 9/25/2015. Thank you to all of you who have supported me over the past 3 years.
The podcast is still on hiatus, but I created this episode:
1) To acknowledge you and the anniversary
2) Share some updates since Episode 150
3) Let you know about my new position with podcast hosting company Simplecast
A milestone is an action or event marking a significant change or stage in development.
Change is to make or become different.
Development is state of growth or advancement.
Reason 1: To connect, teach and help people figure things out,
Reason 2: To figure out how to make a living as an online educator and content creator.
My solution: Starting a podcast was the perfect medium for me:
Why Podcasting?:
-I have been an avid podcast listener since the iPod 1.0
-I love audio and gear
-I could share my voice to the world from my bedroom
-I knew it was an emerging medium.
Timeline:I gave myself 30 days to learn how to start a podcast, how to record and edit audio, create the artwork and branding, and set up social media profiles and figure out what it was about.
I did not overthink starting a podcast and I was determined to stay genuine and authentic to me and do it my way.
Everyone told me I had to niche down and narrow my topic, but that is not who I am.
I have a wide range of interest and skills and I wear many hats (I’m the guy who has watched over 11,000 Lynda videos remember).
I used to think of this as my weakness, but it is my super-power.
My long-term goal was to make a living as a content creator and teacher.
was to document my journey and share all of the tools and resources and steps I was taking to move myself forward towards a very general goal of making a living in creativity and teaching tech tips and tricks.
Step #1: in the journey was starting a podcast so I dedicated the first several months of Mike Murphy Unplugged to being a podcast about podcasting.
I shared everything I knew about setting up and producing a podcast as that was my main focus at the time and I knew it was an emerging and important medium for businesses in the future. And guess what, the more you talk about and share knowledge about a topic the more of an expert and authority you become. I knew what I was talking about and was confident in my abilities from the start.
The main principle I want to share today on this anniversary is showing up day after day even when it seems like nobody is listening or you are not getting many downloads or views or likes, etc.
I created at least one piece of content 7 days a week 365 days in row for almost 3 years because I knew that if I just kept showing up I would either figure it out or an opportunity that would present itself.
I started this podcast and online venture without a roadmap or plan, but I started and I just kept at it. My priority was to get really good at everything related to teaching and creating
