This episode discusses the importance of legally sound agreements for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Jackson advocates for a comprehensive agreements which he calls "DAO Fund Distribution Agreement" to ensure accountability and prevent misuse of funds when DAOs distribute money to third parties.

The proposed agreement includes clauses addressing purpose, monthly accounting, audit rights, reporting standards, milestones, transparency, dispute resolution, termination, governing law, and indemnification.

Enjoy this overview of my first children's book, "Little Heroes- Big tips for bright futures." It's FREE and packed with grown-up success tips for 6-10 year-olds.

It offers bite-sized ideas, simple enough to spark curiosity, with audio chapters that work perfectly for car rides or bedtime (even if mom or dad falls asleep first).

Why is this episode shared here in the AI in Law Podcast?

The answer is easy. Mitch used AI to help pull content from his popular new book, Power Moves, and then asked AI to help him rewrite these favorite lessons for kids. The artwork in each chapter is was created using Midjourney (AI) and the podcast episodes of each chapter using Eleven Labs (AI).

We think the end result is great and it was fun leveraging AI to do the book project. Also please keep in mind that we'll be adding 5-10 new written and audio chapters in the near future.

Virtual reality (VR) is revolutionizing how we remember and experience information, impacting business and law significantly. VR's ability to create realistic memories raises ethical concerns, as it can be used to manipulate perceptions in marketing or influence legal proceedings.

This episode explores the potential for false memories induced by VR and the consequent legal and ethical implications, particularly in the courtroom where the reliability of VR-generated memories is questioned.

Businesses must consider liability related to using VR for marketing or training, and the legal system faces challenges in distinguishing genuine from artificially-created memories. Ultimately, the text emphasizes the need for responsible VR implementation, guided by ethical frameworks and regulations.

Let’s start with a truth bomb: Artificial Intelligence isn’t just a tool to check off tasks faster or churn out work more efficiently. That’s the surface level. The real magic of AI lies in its ability to unlock possibilities that were once invisible. It’s not about faster workflows or better productivity—that’s table stakes. It’s about opening doors to opportunities your competitors haven’t even thought to look for, let alone walk through. This isn’t just about lawyers, coffee shop owners, or entrepreneurs; it’s about every single business owner willing to rethink what’s possible.

Think about this: AI isn’t a crutch—it’s a catalyst. And if you’re willing to harness it, you can redefine the game, not just play it better.

Moving Beyond the Checklist

Most people approach AI like they would a shiny new gadget—something that speeds up processes or automates repetitive tasks. Sure, that’s useful. But stopping there is like owning a Ferrari and never driving it out of first gear. AI isn’t just here to help you do old things faster; it’s here to help you imagine—and accomplish—things you never dreamed possible.

Take lawyers as an example. AI can churn through thousands of contracts in minutes, pulling relevant clauses and spotting red flags. Impressive? Absolutely. But let’s take it further. Imagine preparing for a high-stakes trial where AI doesn’t just deliver precedents—it analyzes the tendencies of judges, the historical strategies of opposing counsel, and even trends in how specific arguments have fared in courtrooms across decades. That’s not working smarter; that’s rewriting the rulebook.

And this isn’t just for law firms. If you’re a retailer, AI can dig through years of purchasing data to uncover the reason customers are choosing the competition. If you’re a coffee shop owner, it’s not just about optimizing your Instagram captions; it’s about discovering that your community craves live music on Thursday nights or faster Wi-Fi for remote work sessions. The data is already out there. AI just makes it accessible—and actionable.

The Death of Linear Thinking

Traditional business thinking is linear: Step one leads to step two, then step three. It’s logical, predictable, and comfortable. But let’s face it: Comfort is the enemy of innovation. AI doesn’t think in straight lines. It connects seemingly unrelated dots, drawing insights from vast oceans of data in ways that humans simply can’t.

For example, imagine you’re an entrepreneur launching a new product. Instead of focusing solely on demographic surveys or market research reports, AI dives into customer reviews, social media chatter, and even local search queries. Suddenly, you’re not just identifying trends—you’re predicting them. Linear thinking? That’s yesterday’s news. AI gives you exponential thinking, where the possibilities multiply with every new input.

Permission to Dream Big

Here’s where most business owners get stuck: They see AI as a tool for efficiency, not imagination. That’s a mistake. AI isn’t about replacing human creativity—it’s about amplifying it. It’s the ultimate paintbrush, and you’re the artist. The question isn’t, “What can AI do for me?” It’s, “What can I dream up with AI as my partner?”

Let’s say you’re running a boutique hotel. AI can analyze guest feedback and local travel trends, helping you identify that what your clientele really wants isn’t just a comfortable bed—it’s a curated experience, like guided sunrise hikes or personalized dining recommendations. That’s not just meeting expectations; that’s redefining them. The same applies to every industry. AI doesn’t limit your creativity; it unleashes it.

The Human Element Still Matters

Here’s the reality check: AI can process mountains of data in seconds, but it can’t shake someone’s hand, build trust, or truly understand what it’s like to stand in your customer’s shoes. That’s your job. And the more you lean into the human side of your business, the more valuable AI becomes.

Think of it this way: AI can tell you what your audience wants before they even know they want it. But only you can deliver it in a way that feels personal, empathetic, and genuine. Whether you’re crafting a compelling legal argument, brewing the perfect cappuccino, or launching a new product, AI isn’t replacing the human touch—it’s making it more essential than ever.

The Bigger Picture

At its core, AI isn’t just a productivity tool; it’s a permission slip to dream bigger. It’s the nudge that says, “Why stop at doing things better when you can do things differently?” For lawyers, it’s predicting disputes before they arise. For business owners, it’s uncovering markets that no one else sees. For coffee shop owners, it’s creating a space so tailored to your community that it becomes a destination.

The future belongs to those willing to ask bold questions—and let AI help answer them. Why settle for incremental progress when you could be reinventing the game? AI isn’t here to do your job for you; it’s here to make your job limitless. So go ahead: Dream bigger, push further, and use AI to not just improve your business, but to reimagine it entirely. Because in this new era, the only limit is your imagination. Mitch Stay connected https://linktr.ee/mitchjackson
