Keeping It Reel Podcast w/Sweet T

Tired of fearing AI? In this walk & talk, I break down the 3 levels of AI use and why cloning yourself with AI is the smartest move right now. Stop worrying it'll take your job – it only replaces those who don't use it. Lean in, train it like you, and get your time back.Full description:What's up y'all, Tommy Kenyon here. Just wrapped another late-night walk after the AI Advantage Summit with Dean Graziosi and Tony Robbins. If you're sitting on the sidelines scared AI's gonna replace you... this one's for you.I lived through Black Monday, dot-com bust, 9/11, 2008, and COVID – pattern guy here. AI ain't different. It's not coming for you... it's coming for the version of you that refuses to learn it.Key Takeaways:Level 1: Just asking for answers (basic Google vibes)Level 2: Thinking partner / brainstorming buddyLevel 3: Agentic – your AI clone that actually does stuff for youI’m already running agents that send me job alerts every morning. You can train yours to think, talk, and act like you. Atoms vs Bits – physical you vs digital you that works while you live life.Friendly nudge: Stop fearing it. Start training it. Speak to it daily like you’re talking to a mirror. The people winning aren’t smarter – they just started.Chapter Markers:0:00 – Sunday night walk & AI Summit thoughts0:40 – Black swan events I’ve lived through1:37 – The 3 Levels of AI Usage2:30 – Why people fear AI cloning (and why they’re wrong)4:05 – Toastmasters fear of “getting caught” using AI5:12 – Atoms vs Bits explained6:10 – Train your AI to be YOU (mirror talk)9:07 – Level 1, 2 & 3 breakdown10:10 – Delegate what you don’t loveIf you're in your 50s, 60s or just getting started with tech and podcasts – this is your sign.

Episode Title: Don’t Just Upgrade Your Tools — Upgrade Your HeartShow Description:What happens when a “CEO of Warner Brothers” comments on your LinkedIn post during your job search? Sounds exciting — until you realize something deeper is going on. In this inspiring and thought-provoking episode, I share how that unexpected online moment taught me one of the most powerful lessons about authenticity, intent, and technology in today’s AI-driven world.Episode Summary:This episode revisits my very first speech contest — the speech that started it all. I reflect on a strange (and seemingly fake) LinkedIn encounter that made me rethink how we connect and communicate online. From networking and time to AI and creativity, we explore how technology reflects not who we say we are, but who we really are.Here’s the truth:AI doesn’t care about titles, buzzwords, or filters — it amplifies your intent. Whether you’re using LinkedIn to grow your career or experimenting with tools like Suno AI to make music, your results will mirror your motives.If you want to cheat or cut corners, AI will help you do that faster. But if your goal is to create, learn, and serve others, AI can take you further than ever before.Key Takeaways:The difference between connection and authentic connection in the digital world.Three ways we choose to connect: networking, money & time, and technology.Why AI reveals our true intent — and how to use that awareness to grow.The personal story behind my first experiment with AI-generated music (and why “duds” are part of the creative process).A reminder worth repeating: Don’t just upgrade your tools — upgrade your heart.Quote of the Episode:“AI can amplify your why — but only if you lead with your heart.”Call to Action:If this episode inspired you, share it with a friend who’s navigating their own digital or career transformation. Let’s spread the word about building genuine connections — and leading with heart in a high-tech world.Hashtags:#AIandHumanity #AuthenticConnection #Inspiration #PersonalGrowth #CareerJourney #PodcastMotivation

Live operations is the work most people never notice... until something breaks.In this episode, I talk through what “live ops” actually means in streaming and broadcast environments, why the role is often misunderstood, and how my career has consistently centered on keeping systems stable under pressure.From early livestreaming days to modern broadcast and cloud workflows, this is a reflection on being the person who clears issues, restores signal, and keeps things running when it matters most.This episode is about the mindset, responsibility, and value of live operations in today’s media landscape.I also touch on how ops professionals adapt quickly... learning new tools, systems, and even AI workflows faster than most roles require.

Buddha said your thoughts are your greatest enemy – true, but did anyone mention the Fiverr sales pitches in my YouTube comments? #entrepreneurlife

Hey everyone, Today, I wanted to share a bit about relaxing and staying calm, even in chaotic times. I recently came across this quote: "Don't chase, don't beg, don't be desperate, just relax. When it comes to you, make your wants want you." This idea of attracting what you desire really resonates with me. It's about trusting the universe and letting things unfold naturally. Instead of forcing things to happen, we should focus on our own peace and well-being. I've been practicing this myself, and I've noticed a significant shift in my mindset. I'm less stressed, more focused, and more productive. I've learned to listen to my intuition and trust the process. Some tips for relaxing into your desires: Practice mindfulness: Spend time each day meditating or simply being present in the moment. Let go of control: Sometimes, the best thing we can do is surrender to the flow of life. Trust the universe: Believe that everything happens for a reason. Take care of yourself: Prioritize self-care activities like sleep, exercise, and healthy eating. I hope this helps! Remember, you don't have to be perfect. Just be you, and let your desires manifest naturally.
