I Built an AI Version of Myself – Here’s Why with Marcus J. Carey

The best time to be alive is right now—if you know how to use AI. Marcus J.

In this episode, he shares the workflows he uses that redefine productivity, from dictating books in a week to building a personal AI twin.

In this episode, Ron and Marcus highlight AI’s true power—when used right. They discuss why intuition is the secret ingredient, how AI is reshaping cybersecurity, and why people who master AI will lead the future. Plus, Marcus breaks down how he built his own personal GPT, his approach to learning, and why he sees AI as a tool, not a threat.
