Scott Tindle

Scott Tindle: [00:00:00] My name's Scott Tindle and I'm the co-founder of MeEducate.ai.

Marcus Neto: Nice to have you here, Scott. It's been a hot minute since you were on the podcast last, but, um, but I am very excited to have you here because I know this is gonna be a fun talk, so,

Scott Tindle: well, I always enjoy visiting with you. Uh, so anytime we get a chance to do that. Bonus for me.

Marcus Neto: Yeah, absolutely. Well, uh, the last time you were on, I believe that you were still in the midst of, like we talked about, you know, your time on, uh, shark Tank. Mm-hmm. And we talked

about, um, some of the other things that you had going on with the duck boats and Right.

Stuff like that. But I know that you've kind of moved into like a new. You know, a new area. Um, but before we, you know, get into that, let's, you know, tighten, kind of take a step back and give people, kind of just give them the 32nd or the two minute kind of who you are and what some of your experiences have been.

Yeah. You know, also your education matters too. Sure.

So, but yeah. Um,

Scott Tindle: so I was born and raised in mobile, or at least [00:01:00] I thought I was in mobile. I grew up, out past the airport. It was mobile to us. Yeah. Went to Baker and really enjoyed it. And, uh, from there ended up getting a degree in secondary education from Auburn.

Thought I wanted to be a teacher and a coach, and did that for a, a little bit and, uh, realized that wasn't the world for me.

What did you teach? I don't remember.

I taught history. Remember that? Yeah. I've taught everything from seventh grade history to 12th grade government. This is crazy. My first teaching job, I graduated in December.

I had just turned 21 and I got hired in January to, uh, replace a teacher that was on maternity leave. I was teaching 12th grade government to 18 to 19 year olds when I was 21.

So

Marcus Neto: you weren't

Scott Tindle: much older than they were and

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Yeah.

They were like, what are we doing this weekend? I was like, absolutely nothing.

If you show up at my house, you know we're gonna have problems. Wow. It was an interesting experience. No, it's fun. I was still living in Auburn. Yeah. Um, so after that, um. I went to law school at University of Alabama and, uh, [00:02:00] really enjoyed the people I met there. That was a great experience. Then along the way, after that, man, I, uh, every several years I take on a new adventure.

So I've done everything from That seems to be your, yeah. The, it is like a three to four year window and then we go on. Is that intentional adventure? Uh, uh, it, it didn't start that way. Okay. But now, but it kind of is now. Yeah. Yeah, it's, um, I'm happier that way and, uh, some people like to do the same thing for 15 years.

No, I'm, we're gonna dive into that in just a minute. That's just not

Marcus Neto: what I enjoy. Yeah. Because like, uh, that's very fascinating to me, but I don't want to, you know, sidetrack you from Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Well, and we can get into that. But, uh, so yeah, from, because of that,

Marcus Neto: and I'm not gonna edit this out because I'm a moron.

I've been running late today. That's fine. But I'm gonna turn these lights on so that you guys can see us if you're watching this. There we go. I was wondering why, why is it so dark in here?

Scott Tindle: Um, yeah. So I've done, uh, a lot of different things from international security to, uh, running a nonprofits and [00:03:00] state fair and Thai company that was on Shark Tank to running Yeah. Tourist operations in a restaurant.

Marcus Neto: Okay. So. I want to, I want to hear more about this though. So you have intentionally made, or you're intentionally doing this cycle now? Mm-hmm. Is this because you find that this is just the way that your brain works, or is this just a natural thing for you, or what? Yeah,

Scott Tindle: I think it, it was learning how I learn and what I find value in.

I find value in building things, creating new things, and once they're built or created, somebody else is gonna do a better job of running them. Yeah. Day to day. I don't enjoy that part. So for me, if I can build something, create something, move on, that makes me happy.

Marcus Neto: That's really interesting. I've, I've always said that I have felt, you know, like way back in the day I read this book called Courageous Leadership. It was by Bill Hybels at the time. He had Willow Creek Church and it was the biggest church in the United States outside of Chicago. I think they had like 30 or 40,000 [00:04:00] members or something like that. I mean, it was a big church, right? Yeah. And he wrote a book on leadership. Now granted it was geared towards church leadership, which I was in, so read it.

But you know, it applies everywhere. And it was very eye-opening because he talks about the different types of leader. And it wasn't until that moment when I read that book that I realized, oh wait, there's like. There's room for like different Yeah. Types of leaders. Yeah. There's

Scott Tindle: gradients in there, right?

Yeah. It's a spectrum of leadership

Marcus Neto: and he talks about the entrepreneurial, you know, leader that mm-hmm. You know, and I very much kind of leaned into that because I'm not a manager either. It's why I've always had to have. Somebody else that you know, works with me because oftentimes they're better at, you know, continuing to manage things than Yeah.

Than I am. It's a real slog for me.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. One of the best things that you can do is when you finally get the self-awareness to know that what you're good at and what you're not good at, and feeling comfortable letting other people be a part of of that. And you know, I tell [00:05:00] people if we were all just alike, we wouldn't need each other.

Right? We're all different. And if we embrace that and figure out how to work. Through that, the best way then we can build better organizations, better businesses, better friendships. You know, I don't want all my friends to be just like me. What would I learn? Well,

Marcus Neto: I guess

Scott Tindle: we can't be friends anymore then.

Marcus Neto: You're not just like me. You got a lot of things going on that I can't do. Yeah, that's true. No, it's, uh, you know, it, it's just very interesting to me. 'cause I, you know, again, you know, we've talked about it, you know, here, uh, I was diagnosed with A DHD even though I knew that I had it forever. I was diagnosed.

Late forties, I think it was.

Scott Tindle: Yeah.

Marcus Neto: And um, but it's not so much, you know, the, I don't care about the Adderall and stuff like that. Mm-hmm. You know, that's easy. Go to your doctor, figure it out. Right. The real kind of, um. Expansive thing for me was learning how that impacts my brain or how I think versus somebody who doesn't.

Right. Have that. And a lot of it is surrounding [00:06:00] this like, hey, I like to, I like to build things. I like the excitement of something new. I like to learn new things. Mm-hmm. And I've had to kind of temper that because, you know, doing that can also be quite expensive.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. And you know, and you're prone to chase shiny things and take your eye off what you need to be focusing on.

Yeah. So that's one of the things that I, I am trying to get better at. I always have so many ideas. There's so many different things I wanna learn or pursue. I can get myself spread too thin.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: And then I'm not doing anything. You're very well anybody. Yeah.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. No, it's, and I guess that's just part of understanding is then you can more, um, closely keep an eye on even yourself, you know, if you're following prey to some of your.

Personality quirks, if you'll Yeah, absolutely. I mean,

Scott Tindle: if we have some self-awareness and we evaluate ourselves every day, I'm pretty good at knowing. At the end of my day, I can rank myself on how did I do today? Yeah. And that doesn't necessarily mean like, how much did I get accomplished, but it's how did I feel?

Uh, how did I, how did I engage with [00:07:00] people, man, how did I react when people engage with me?

Marcus Neto: So we're going down like completely and, and we hadn't talked about what we're gonna talk about or anything, so this is kind of freeform, but. Maybe this is just Marcus's therapy session, but how did you disconnect feeling like you didn't accomplish anything?

Because the task list didn't have a bunch of check marks on it?

Scott Tindle: Um, I started to think about defining what a win is, what is a win? And a win to me is being present in the day. I'll give you an example. A win to me was having the ability to take my daughter. To her orthodontics appointment this morning to get her braces off.

That's a win.

Marcus Neto: Mm-hmm.

Scott Tindle: She's 15 years old. That's a big moment too. In, in three years she's gonna be outta my house. Those are wins that I can count on every day. So even if I didn't get enough done at work, what is, what were the other wins I got through the rest of the day? Yeah. Did I, did I help a friend who needed to talk through something?

Did I help a friend who had a [00:08:00] question about business? Did I. You know, was I a good dad making time for those moments that pop up? Yeah. Yeah. And trying to be present in that.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: And I, I did not do that very well when my kids were younger. Uh, I was running the ducks in the restaurant and the fort and I was working 70, 80 hours a week, and, um, I missed a lot of those things.

Yeah. And you just can't go back and do it. But what you can do is start from now. I gonna be present now. So I think about that with my nine. I've got daughters that are 15, 12, and nine. Okay.

Marcus Neto: And so, that's funny. You've got three daughters. I've got three daughters. I've got, well, three of my own boys. Yeah.

You know, so it's funny, but good. Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. But it's so, it's an interesting experience. So it's like, how do you feel good about it? Like if I don't meditate, I in the morning. My day is gonna be different. Like I can just tell, um, if I don't meditate before I go to sleep, I don't sleep as well. I mean, meditation for me has been a huge tool and it took years of practice to get good at it, and I'm [00:09:00] still not great at it, right?

Some people can do it a lot better, but for me, being able to meditate, get into a place where you can turn your brain off and you think about nothing. That allows you to start having new thoughts that come into your brain, new connections, new ideas, um, just being introspective about it.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. I mean, it's, and some of you are gonna nod your head when I say this, and some of you of you aren't gonna understand what I'm saying, but for a lot of us, there's a constant recording of just utter bullshit that's going on in our ears, regardless of whether there's somebody in the room talking to us or not.

And it's our own mind. And so for, and I can imagine that the reason why it was so hard for you to, to get into meditation was because there was a voice that was constantly talking to you.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. Do It's, the whole process is trying to figure out how to slow it down and turn it off.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Medication works for some [00:10:00] people.

Um. I think that that's between them and their doctors. Yeah. Right. Like I don't get in the middle of that kind of relationship, but for me, meditation allowed me to get off my a DD meds. Um, and I feel better, uh, I feel more me when I'm not on 'em.

Marcus Neto: Well, and you're also, you're able to adjust your day Right.

To suit what you're capable of doing. Exactly.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. It's, it's, um, and that's part of what I like also. I like to be able to create things with people I want to create. Yeah. And if I don't want to do something, don't, I like having the flexibility. Don't, not having to do it. I just don't do

Marcus Neto: it. I mean like we were texting this morning at what, seven o'clock or something like that and it was like, Hey, you still wanna do this today?

And you're like, yeah, I'm up for it. And I'm like, alright, see you soon. You know, it is like there's

Scott Tindle: not a lot of people's schedules are that flexible, you know, where they could just say, yeah, I'll see you in a couple hours. Yeah. Sit down for a little bit.

Marcus Neto: Yeah, it was pretty cool. But no, I, I, you know, and I, I know that it's a luxury that we have that, you know, we're able to, to do that.

And you're just the first [00:11:00] person that I think I've met that's been able to kind of like, I don't know, calm that, calm, that voice, you know? It's a work in

Scott Tindle: progress. I mean, it, it's not, I don't want to, you like that? I've conquered it, but I am making progress on it. Yeah. And I can tell. Not so much day after day, but month after month, I can look back at how my meditation practice was a few months ago.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: And really it took about three years for it to click, and then once it clicked and for those three years, you're like, what am I doing? Yeah. Like this is silly. But there's nothing silly in sitting still and being quiet. Right, and just letting yourself be still and quiet. We don't have enough of that in life.

Marcus Neto: No, we really don't.

Scott Tindle: We're not bored enough and we don't, we rarely have time by ourselves, and when we do, a lot of us look at it as, oh, I'm by myself. I'm lonely, I'm bored. Like, yeah, I'm never bored with myself. I got so much going on in my brain. I'm having 17 conversations while we're doing the podcast.

[00:12:00] Preach, brother.

Marcus Neto: So. Well, you know, you were, and I, I hope I'm not elevating myself, you know, by saying this, but you and I, I think were pushing, you know, for a lot of things that were happening in mobile. Yeah. And one of the things that I just wanted to touch on was just like. You know, kind of the state of the city.

Mm-hmm. You know, like, uh, where what you see, you know, that's going on here in mobile. You know, anything that, um, I don't know. Not anything that necessarily that, because we're not looking to impact anything anymore. I don't, I don't think, um, I think just myself

Scott Tindle: and my kids.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. I mean, I, I think we all kind of took a, a shovel to the face with COVID.

Yeah. And, um, you know, uh, I don't know. So what are your thoughts around, you know, all that. Well,

Scott Tindle: people always like to say we're the city of perpetual potential. Yeah. Alright. And if that's true and we haven't lived up to our potential, that's one thing. But if it's true, that also means we have potential that we can go live up to.

Yeah. And I think we do. I think [00:13:00] we've got infrastructure in place, we've got really interesting things going on. But where I'm concerned is, and we've, we talk a lot about ai.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: I'm concerned about the changes. In the world in the next five years and people not being ready for 'em or not even being aware of it.

So a lot of my time now. Whether it's on the radio show on Tuesday nights, or Johnny Gwen and I do a lunchtime show now called Lunch Breaks.

Marcus Neto: Yeah, actually

Scott Tindle: stop and tell us about the Sure.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: So, uh, we have a show called Johnny Gwen and I have a show called Lunch Breaks. Uh, we come on at 11 45, 12 o'clock kind of whenever we actually get to get live.

Yeah. But it's punk rock man. We just, uh, two guys in front of a camera and he's producing it from his computer. And

Marcus Neto: yeah,

Scott Tindle: we're showing things on the internet that we find interesting or we have one segment called Rate the Robots. And, uh, so we rate 'em if they're a clinker or a banger. Okay. And apparently clinker has become the, uh, the [00:14:00] slaying.

Yeah, I heard that too. For, uh, or slur. I guess Slur is more of where, what people are using it for. Yeah. Um, but I think back to the city, right? I think that if we take advantage of opportunities, we've got a chance to be successful because the world is going to change so much in the next 10 years. I think it's gonna be five years that we'll see a lot of change.

In 10 years it'll be radically different. And I was, when I was thinking about this earlier today, I was thinking, what was life like 10 years ago? Okay. And Barack Obama was still the president. The Trump, the first Trump administration had not even started. Right. We were still in wars in Afghanistan. Like just think about how different the world was.

And that was only 10 years ago now it's crazy. The next 10 years are gonna feel like 50 or a hundred. And in 2030, if you invite me back, we'll sit here if we're all still around. Let's hope it's not that long, but yeah. [00:15:00] Well, my point is in 2030 when we had this conversation, yep. We'll look back on 2025 the way that today we look back on 1985, that's how much change you're gonna see.

40 years worth of change in the next five to 10 years. So, alright, so let's, let's go into what the city can do. Yeah. And I don't disagree with you with this idea of the bridge. We don't need to build the bridge. Don't build the bridge. Okay. We will, every 18 wheeler will be autonomous before that bridge is built.

Most people's human, most humans personal cars will be autonomous. Before we could get that bridge built, I hadn't even thought about that. So there's no reason to go down that, that path, right? It's about to get a lot safer. Um, I think that in the next. When five, 10 years, when autonomous cars are everywhere, your insurance is gonna be sky high if you choose to drive your car.

Yeah. It'll be bit of, you're be, you're gonna be penalized for being the human driver. Yeah. Because the autonomous driving is so much safer. Um, but it's things like that. So it's like, [00:16:00] why are we, I love that mobilians get excited about things. We get excited about small things. Right. We, we get a train. Back in town and it is like, it's the 1860s and the railroad is coming through.

Everybody's

Marcus Neto: so excited. I can't tell you how many times Mr. Perry, Rick Perry has told me that he wants to go on this train, and every time he asks me, I kindly remind him that it's an eight hour round trip. You know, like four hours or so there. Yeah, you get a couple of hours in New Orleans and then four or so hours back.

And I, I'm sure I'll end up on it at some point in time, but man, I just, well

Scott Tindle: look, people like what they like. I don't, yeah. When I finally accepted that, I became so much happier in life. I, I hear you. Uh, I used to, I used to care what you like. I don't care.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: If your emotional support celebrity gets engaged and that makes you happy.

Yeah. It makes me happy that that makes you happy. Your

Marcus Neto: emotional support celebrity. That's a good one. Uh, so, you know, we get, you were saying we get excited about small things. Yeah. And

Scott Tindle: so, alright, if we know that about ourselves, [00:17:00] how do we get excited about big things? How do we create big changes, right?

The next administration is gonna have a wonderful opportunity to start implementing new technologies in ways that before were too expensive. A lot of this technology has existed, it just wasn't practical to be able to deploy it to scale. Right? And so I think you're gonna see some, some pretty big changes.

I think that before the midterm elections, I don't like talking about politics, but it's just part of our lives. Mm-hmm. Um, I think that AI will be, and job displacement will be the largest. Topic of conversation in the midterms.

Marcus Neto: So, and I mean, it's already a topic of conversation. I mean, certainly with us.

Yeah. Well, I mean, not even just with us. I think just in the news, you, you're starting to see a lot more about companies saying that new hires are, you know, it's like the last resort. You know, if it, if it can be done by AI than do it with AI. And you know, let's just not even have, you know, those positions anymore.

And it's only so. Long before that, you know, comes up this, the pay scale, if you will. Yep. And [00:18:00] affects everybody and,

Scott Tindle: well, conservative estimates still, this is just the conservative estimates have us losing 70% of entry level white collar jobs in the next five years. Okay. Now people say, well, how does that affect me?

Wow.

Marcus Neto: Okay.

Scott Tindle: Uh, it affects you a couple different ways. If these young people are not moving into jobs, there are no jobs for them to move into. Where, how do we learn to be adults? Mm-hmm. What is that process gonna look like? What are we gonna do with our time? How are we gonna pay our bills? And all that goes into the same cycle.

How does that affect you? Well, if we lose 15,000 jobs in the city, we lose sales tax from 15,000 people who are unemployed. That directly affects the budget, right? 'cause we're a sales tax driven city. So. We have to think about those types of things. Or if you're thinking, well how does this affect me? Will it affect your kids and your grandkids?

Yeah, for [00:19:00] sure. Uh, and that's gonna affect you.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. We've had a number of talks in our household about, you know, the kids in school and, you know, what does this all mean? And I don't know that we've kind of landed on any kind of concrete. You know, ground. But I'm of the mindset of, you know, schooling right now is not preparing them anywhere near for the world that they're about to be launched into.

No.

Scott Tindle: And And it can't. Right. It can't in its current capacity. Right. 'cause that's not what it was built for.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: It was built to be a factory system. It was built to create factory workers, people who could work, follow instructions. Yeah. That's not the world we're moving into.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Those jobs don't exist.

So if your robots are gonna replace the. The just non-thinking jobs and the AI will enhance the robots.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. And when you look at, you know, even how that might impact, you know, like the local government, do you have any incl inclination as to how that will start to, I mean, what does that look like? Is that, is that also entry level jobs and government not being hired?

Government will

Scott Tindle: [00:20:00] be, government will be one of the last places to, because there's no incentive to not hire in government. Okay.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Um, government jobs will be around forever. They'll be doing different things. There'll be a lot of people sitting around doing nothing. But you're not gonna see layoffs at scale until the budget starts getting crunched, and then they have to start making hard decisions.

Yeah. Um, and maybe we don't have that, right. Uh, maybe we go through this AI revolution and we come out on the other side with just some nicks and bruises. But right now I don't see a way that our current systems in place can survive without being torn down and rebuilt. And I'm not saying I'm the one that has the answers on no how to rebuild 'em, and you're not.

There's other people saying, there's other people that will know. People are gonna know their own verticals. They're gonna know and see it coming inside of their businesses. So AI is gonna disrupt industries because someone in that [00:21:00] industry is gonna create a tool that they needed for themselves. Once they have that tool, they'll sell it to everybody.

Yeah. And so when we talk about AI creating new opportunities, it will And for, for people who are industrious and smart and wanna try new things, it's never been better. But we don't create jobs that way. So like Med Educate is a company that Johnny and I started, it's a AI healthcare company. And in the past.

Just to get where we are now to launch, we probably would've needed 30 employees. There's two of us, three of us. I mean, and we can scale up to a thousand doctors without needing employees. So it's like where are the jobs gonna come from? Yeah. Not the businesses. People will be able to create their own businesses for themselves, but it used to be.

When you created a business, and this is one of the people reasons, people liked it. They felt like they, by creating jobs in their community, they were serving their community.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. I mean, it's one of the reasons why I started Blue [00:22:00] Fish,

Scott Tindle: right? And most people feel that way, and that's not gonna be the way that the world looks going forward.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: I don't know what jobs are. What The other thing is this, we talk about what jobs are safe and what jobs are not safe. Well, even if your job is safe. The pressure that we're gonna put on the economy because now you've got all of these people pushing into other fields and that's gonna push people way down the ladder.

And you look at it, if we lose 70% of white collar jobs, who's gonna get the jobs? Yeah. The people with the relationships, the people that know the person hiring or the higher pedigree of your degree if you had to go to a college for your specialty.

Marcus Neto: Yeah,

Scott Tindle: I mean, right now, if I was 18 years old. Or if I was talking to somebody that had an 18-year-old son, let's say, I would tell them, go get a job at Austal.

Work as many hours as you can. Take every shift possible. [00:23:00] Live like a poor college student. Yeah. And in four years, pick your head up with a stack of cash and look at the world and figure out what's going on. Yeah. 'cause there's not a, there's not a lot to do. You could easily have half a million dollars stacked up after that period at 22 years old and then trying to figure out what to do with life.

Um, I also think if you're a technical person going into the Space Force could be a really interesting place to wait out the AI revolution. You know, you don't ever hear about Space Force. It, uh, people need to be paying more attention to it. Really? Yeah. I mean, so there's, it's so, it was this joke when we started it, right?

Like, oh, it's Star Trek. Oh, we got a space for, I mean, like, there's some really,

Marcus Neto: there's some

Scott Tindle: wild stuff that they're doing now. The new frontier is space. Yeah. Who is gonna get to, who's gonna occupy the moon? Who's gonna figure out the resources there? Is the moon gonna be, uh, the, you've had for me a staging for Mars.

Showing for Mars. I don't know. How are the robots, you know, the robots are gonna build Mars before humans ever get there. Yeah. [00:24:00] Um, and they'll do the same with the moon, which is crazy, but is it really that crazy?

Marcus Neto: Mm-hmm.

Scott Tindle: Because we landed on the moon, they tell us in 1969.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: We haven't had, like you, if you'd have told people in 1969, we won't go back to the moon for 65 years, they would've

Marcus Neto: thought we were crazy.

Scott Tindle: They'd be like, well, that's absurd. Of course we will. Well, we'll probably be on Mars by then,

Marcus Neto: which is part of the reason like there's one way to shut up all the, uh, you know, the conspiracy theorists is just go back.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. You know,

Marcus Neto: like,

Scott Tindle: just go back. So Johnny and I actually talked about this on the show yesterday.

Okay. Um, the question of the day we do a question of the day was, alright, do you believe in the moon landing?

Marcus Neto: And I had this conversation with Chrissy last night on the back porch. Yeah.

Scott Tindle: My answer is I believe in both. I believe we actually landed on the moon and I believe we did not get good enough video.

We recreated the moon landing to show the public. Okay. That's my, that's, that's, to me, that [00:25:00] fits and checks most of the boxes.

Marcus Neto: That's a plausible, it would, you know, like, then why not just say that, you know, I mean, like, they, they say that they don't have the original footage. Why, why does the government keep secrets from us all the time?

Yeah. They don't. Yeah. Anyway.

Scott Tindle: I mean, that's the other thing, right? You start going down the, the government would never. And you're like, oh no. Oh, the government would never, they've done test syphilis on everything. People in Tuskegee. Oh yeah. American citizens. They would never do that.

Marcus Neto: Yeah, of course they did.

They've done everything under the sun. So, um, you touched on it, so I, let's go there. Educate. Yep.

Scott Tindle: So educate AI is a patient education platform, and Okay. The way I describe it is this, um, you go to the doctor, you've got kidney stones and you're in pain. And he says, well, Marcus, we're gonna need to do a.

Surgery and he goes through the details of the surgery. Here's what you need to do before, here's what to expect during, here's what you need to do after, so that you're in good shape. You're not listening to any of that. Mm-hmm. You're just thinking about yourself or my nervous an issue. And you're nervous, right?

Yeah. [00:26:00] So doctors are spending a lot of time doing that, and it's a waste of time. Very few patients are getting anything outta that interaction. Yeah. So what we've been able to do is create a platform using AI tools that when you schedule your procedure. The person says, all right Marcus, we're gonna do this surgery.

They enter the medical billing code into their, into our platform. It pulls a video in there specifically about the procedure you're going to have, and it's narrated in your own doctor's voice. That way you have a personal connection to the doctor. Now we take that video and we text it to you or email it to you.

You can watch it as many times as you want. You can send it to friends and family.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: And what we're really trying to do are tackle two big problems, which are cancellations for procedures. Most people cancel because they're anxious.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Or they didn't follow instructions. So if they say you need to fast after midnight, and you stop at McDonald's and get a biscuit on the way to your procedure.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Now we've gotta cancel the procedure. Right. Um, and then we don't want readmissions. A lot [00:27:00] of readmissions happened because patients don't follow the post-op instructions, but that's 'cause they can't remember them.

Marcus Neto: Right.

Scott Tindle: Or they've got 15 pages of stuff that they lost on the way home and you're trying to take care of mom and where's mom's papers?

Yeah. What are, what are we supposed to do? You know? So the opportunities inside this industry are tremendous. And so we've launched a urology product. Um, soon we'll have internal medicine, ENT and, and more. Um. As we build out the libraries. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah. It's a same kind of thing. Yeah. It's a fun challenge to figure out if we can make it work, and I'm sure I'll do this for three or four years and I'll go find the next challenge.

Yeah. And figure out how to make that work.

Marcus Neto: It's interesting, you know, I just, I, I've gotta spend some time, I mean, off camera, we'll have to have another discussion about the whole cycle thing, because that's really interesting to me. 'cause I, I oftentimes find myself going through, you know, cycles as well.

Scott Tindle: But that's not for everybody.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. If you like stability,

Scott Tindle: this is not the world for you. Oh, no. I don't [00:28:00] like Right. But I mean, some people, they want the stability. Yeah. They, they like the nine to five, they like at five o'clock leaving work, not thinking about work until they get back in the morning. Yeah.

If those are the types of things you and you like, then don't do this.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. And I think that, you know, if I was just to, to kind of like. Impress something on anybody that's listening to this right now. It's just that if you, if you find yourself, uh, with somebody, or if you find that you are someone who has this, you know, internal drive that, you know, things need to change every so often.

There's nothing wrong with that. Um, that there are a lot of entrepreneurial minded people that have that same, you know, feeling. Um, because I know that that's sometimes painted in a bad light, you know, like, oh, this guy's, you know, always switching Yeah. Flaky jobs, blah, blah, blah, blah, flaky, blah, blah.

Right. You know, like, choose your words.

Scott Tindle: Well, and it's only, it, it's really an invention of the modern world.

Marcus Neto: [00:29:00] Yeah. A hundred years ago is to do this. Yeah. It's to keep you in, in control and keep you in that position that you hate. You know, and, and I'm, you know, I'm of the mindset of like, life's too short.

Like, if you don't really enjoy doing something, then you know, there's plenty of other things that you can do. You know, one of the best

Scott Tindle: things

Marcus Neto: you can do is say, no. Yeah, I don't wanna do that. Well, you were, man, we were just talking about the moon landing and we, we, uh, escaped out of that. I'd like to go back and be on the record and just say that I, you know, like, I don't think I do anymore.

You don't think so? No, I don't, I don't think I believe in the moon landing anymore. And I, I would like to be able to believe in my government a lot more than what I currently do. And I, I hope that at some point in time that trust is built back up. But there's just been so much trust that has been destroyed by lies over the course of the last, say, even 10 years.

We just

Scott Tindle: need two weeks

Marcus Neto: to flatten the curve. Marcus? Yeah. Two weeks to flatten the curve, I'm sure. But, um, [00:30:00] I don't know. It's just, you know, wild to think about all the things that, you know. That were taught to us one way as kids going through school, and that we spent a lot of our lives kind of like making these assumptions about whether it's, you know.

What people in Russia are like, right. Or why the people in the Middle East are angry with us all the time. Or, you know what, choose your, you know, choose your own. Choose your narrative. Yeah. Choose your narrative. And you know, it's funny because a number of years ago I realized that, you know, like the news is on this three day cycle or something like that, it's like, you know, they pop something up at the end of the week and you're, you know, you're dying to hear about it first thing in the, you know, the new week.

They're good at what they do, you know, and then they, that passes over and then, you know, but you never hear about any resolutions any. More and you know, just kind of,

Scott Tindle: we're not a serious people.

Marcus Neto: No,

Scott Tindle: we we're not. Like, if we need to start there.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Um, and we've allowed ourselves to not become serious people because life is so easy.

[00:31:00] Life is not hard compared to the course of human history. Right. We live better than Kings lived a hundred years ago. We're sitting in this room with climate control and lights and mm-hmm. We're streaming of, we've got a little magical box. Yeah. That allows us to talk to people all over the world. Right.

Anybody that wants to listen to us. Yeah. A king would've killed for the ability to communicate like that. Um, so it's all about perspective. And I'm not saying life is easy. Right. Easy life is hard. Right. But it's considerably easier today. When you don't have to go look for clean drinking water.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Or don't have, have to be a job hunt food or Yeah.

A job used to just be, walk down to the river, get the drinking water for today. Mm-hmm. It may take you six hours, you know, to, instead of a train to New Orleans, you're hiking to the river, you know, just to get water to drink. Yeah. So, um, I don't know. It's all interesting. I, I do think AI is going to, [00:32:00] uh, like any other technology or tool, it's about how it's used and implemented.

It's gonna solve some really interesting problems. It's gonna create some new problems. Yeah. And, uh, I think we'll eventually have an AI golden age, but I don't know what dystopia we're gonna have to go through to get there.

Marcus Neto: Get there. Yeah. Yeah. And I guess we, we should have said this at the, uh, beginning that full disclosure, like we're in a little chat group Yeah.

Where, you know, with a couple of other guys that, um, and we bounce, you know, these thoughts back and forth about AI and robots and what the future looks like and stuff like that. And you know, it's been, it's been nice to have other people that are paying attention to this, to kind of talk to, um, and as I make it more public through podcast episodes and stuff like that, that, you know, I'm kind of wading into the AI thing.

I'm having more conversations with people. Um,

Scott Tindle: well, that's an important thing that we need to do, right? Yeah. People who are interested. Need to talk about it. Mm-hmm. And then the more people learn about [00:33:00] it, they'll decide if they're interested or not, but they at least need to understand what's going on.

Yeah. So I think the more you do that, and I love that you're doing an event at the Chamber. Yeah. I think that's really important. Like the more of those that people can go to just to get exposed to it. Because right now people use ai, like a Google replace. It.

Marcus Neto: Mm-hmm.

Scott Tindle: That's how most people are using it.

Marcus Neto: Yep.

Scott Tindle: Boy, it's a lot more powerful than that.

Marcus Neto: Um, yeah, very much so. Yeah. It's, it is really amazing just in even the last year how much things have progressed and, you know, just recently with like the agent mode and stuff like that with chat GPT and, you know, some of the other, uh, you know, AI systems that are, um.

You know, out there, whether it's Gemini or uh, rock, you know, Claude, whatever. I mean, some of the capabilities that they're, you know, touting now are just incredible. So it'll be, I saw a

Scott Tindle: video the other day. Sorry to cut you off. No, you're good. Uh, I saw a video the other day. This guy is a developer, but his boss is an AI agent.

His boss put an AI agent over the team, and now he reports [00:34:00] to the AI agent. How weird is that? Alright, so that goes, I don't even know what to say to that next thought. That's so well, who is teaching people how to manage a hybrid business of humans and robots? When we have humanoid robots, how are we gonna manage them?

You can't manage 'em like you do a human.

Marcus Neto: Yeah,

Scott Tindle: right? If you're running a hotel and you're cleaning staff, or now humanoid robots is different than, you know. What's you used to managing? Yeah. That's a mind,

Marcus Neto: that's a mind shift that, you know, we haven't even kind of like gotten to yet. Um, and, and

Scott Tindle: what is it gonna do?

What does it do to humans who can treat robots poorly with no repercussions? What does that make you think that you're also capable of doing?

Marcus Neto: I would think that that would exacerbate what we already experienced with the internet effect, where people are total assholes on the internet 'cause there's no face associated with it.

Yep. But then when you meet 'em in person, they're a perfectly lovely person.

Scott Tindle: I think it's gonna enhance [00:35:00] people's negative personalities. And you know, in my brain, the first place I see this happening is when the robot starts stocking the shelves at Publix, the guy who got replaced is gonna go up there and he's gonna remove that robot from Publix.

Physically. Yeah. Because people are just gonna be frustrated. Yeah. Like you're, like, you see now, like out in San Francisco, people destroying autonomous taxis. Why? Because they feel like there's nothing for them. They feel like they don't, they nothing is built for them and nothing's going their way. Yeah, and I think we're gonna see more of that and we're gonna have to figure out how to find purpose outside of our jobs.

Because right now when somebody says, what do you do in America? We mean, what is your job in Europe? And they say, what do you do? They might say, oh, I ski, or I enjoy. Jogging or whatever in America, we've defined ourselves by what we do. What is our, what is our work, and that's gonna have to change [00:36:00] as we enter a post-lab economy.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. And I, you know, I almost, I, I welcome that kind of mentality. 'cause I mean, I think, you know, and I, I guess that goes back to the whole like, liking change and mm-hmm. I find, I find things interesting and I dive into 'em very deep, you know, and it, it's, it can be a problem at times because if you're.

Wanting to focus on one thing, but this thing is really interesting to you. Then you really may have no choice but that focus on this thing, right. Until you get to a certain point, and then you can go back to what you have to focus on. Right. And that gets to be kind of like, um, you know, a mess in your, in your brain.

But it'll be, it'll be interesting to see how we get there. 'cause getting there is the problem. It's not once you're there, like enjoying life and being able to, oh, like. Going to the beach mean the same if, you know, we can go anytime we want because we don't have to work,

Scott Tindle: or

Marcus Neto: you know, I don't, you know, those are all the questions that I have.

And the bigger, the bigger problem that I have is just that it seems like [00:37:00] nobody at the levels that this needs to be happening in, that nobody's having that conversation. You know, about what? What's next? What does the, how do we move the world from a pre ai, pre robot economy into a post ai, post robot economy?

Scott Tindle: Well, and it goes back to your point about trusting the government. Mm-hmm. Because right now we know they're not telling us the truth. Right. We know that AI is the most powerful military industrial tool that's ever been created. Okay. So the, the US government is not going to let us lose that race.

Without trying really hard. Oh yeah. So when we start getting into issues with power and the power grid and we can't create enough power, who's gonna be the one without power? It's gonna be us. Yeah. We're gonna be rationing our power and we decide we can do the podcast at 10 30 in the morning, but not at noon.

'cause they're cutting off our power for three hours. Right. Um, but they're not telling us that. They're telling us everything's gonna be fine. Don't worry about it. [00:38:00] Right. We've got UFOs coming outta the ocean. Like that is happening. Yeah. And they're like, oh yeah. I mean, that's happening. Yeah. Don't worry about it.

Yeah. Don't worry about it. Now. That's another example where I believe both. I believe that aliens exist, but I believe those are ours.

Marcus Neto: Yeah, I do too. Yeah. That's one of those, these are not the droids, you're looking for moments where it's just like, exactly, we're not gonna, we're not gonna tell you what it was, but you know, don't worry about it anymore.

Yeah. It just went away, you know?

Scott Tindle: It's funny, Trump said, I'm gonna get to the bottom of it and I'm gonna tell you exactly what's going on. And then he gets back in office and somebody whispers in his ear, we're not, we're not gonna tell them that. And he's like, yeah, you're right. We're definitely not telling them that.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. It really does make you wonder what being in that position is like.

Scott Tindle: I can't imagine the immense amount of stress, but also I can't imagine the amount of hubris it takes to want that job.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. Agreed.

Scott Tindle: That to me is just like, [00:39:00] I kind of have this idea. It's not, I don't think a lot of people would agree with it, but I think you, your politicians should be drafted.

I don't think it should be elected. I don't, I don't think you should have people who are opting in. I think we should be drafting people and saying, sorry, sir, for the good of your community, you're gonna, you're gonna have to go do this. No, exactly.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: But. I feel like if it was that way, we would solve a lot of problems.

Like we've got people in Congress for 50 years. Yeah. Like, what, what, what are we doing?

Marcus Neto: Yeah. You

Scott Tindle: know,

Marcus Neto: retiring with hundreds of millions of dollars in their bank account and we're left wondering, you know, why would as a nation owe so much money?

Scott Tindle: Well, this is an interesting stat. These things we send each other, right?

Yeah. So for people are wondering, like this type of stuff, the stat I sent the other day that said, um, 50% of all consumer spending. It is now done by the top 10% of the population.

Marcus Neto: Say that again? 'cause I don't, I want people [00:40:00] to get that. Is that of

Scott Tindle: all the money spent buying things, going to restaurants, stuff, cars, whatever.

50% of all that money is coming from 10% of the people?

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: The top 10%. The top 10%. That's how imbalanced the economy is right now.

Marcus Neto: Was that, I don't remember. 'cause when you said that, I looked at it, but was that just for the states or was that worldwide?

Scott Tindle: That was just the United States.

Marcus Neto: Okay. So it really truly is like what we would view as the top 10%.

'cause if you include the world, then all of the United States.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. We're all, we're all in the top 10%. Yeah.

Marcus Neto: So,

Scott Tindle: no, this is just a US stat.

Marcus Neto: That's wild to think of. Yeah, it it is a very different thing, you know, so we were just recently in Atlanta and it almost seems like people in cities. Are not feeling a lot of the same crunch that, you know, the rest of us are feeling.

And I don't know if that was just my perception or what, but there was a whole lot of money being spent, you know, when we were walking around and, you [00:41:00] know. Yeah. It's just wild to think. I, I don't

Scott Tindle: know, is the answer. Right. Um, the economy, we, we call it one thing, but it's not, we don't have one economy.

Right. We've had dozens, probably hundreds of economies. Yeah. Um, so, and it's gonna. This AI revolution will take place in different places at different speeds. Mobile will be a holdout. We'll be one of the last places that feel it because we just don't like change. That's the way we

Marcus Neto: are, man.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. And we're not ruthless people, right?

So we're not gonna have, you're not gonna see a lot of business owners in this town. Fire 30 employees.

Marcus Neto: They will have to when all the main employers start

Scott Tindle: and, and they will over, and it, it goes back to replacements. They just won't replace people, right? If somebody leaves for another job, that those tasks will either get divided up or there'll be an AI agent that doesn't.

So, um, it will be slower for us. But to your point, like I, I used an example of roofers. People [00:42:00] think, oh, roofers can't be replaced, you know, it's impossible. And even if it can be replaced, I wouldn't use a robot. Okay, that's fine. But if I use a robot and I bid $10,000 or $5,000 to do your roof and the guy using humans is gonna charge you $25,000, you're gonna hire me.

Marcus Neto: Your insurance company may not give you a choice either,

Scott Tindle: and they may not give you a choice. Yeah. So then if you're the guy with the humans, you're, you're gonna lose jobs to the guy with the robot every day.

Marcus Neto: I think you wouldn't even have the capability of having a roofing company because after the robots get to a certain point, insurance companies won't want to cover roofing companies for all the injuries and the workers' comp, workers' comp and stuff like that.

But they have, because it is a very dangerous job. It is. And that's why it is one of the very first that they're, you know, they're starting to, and I don't know if anybody else that's watching this has seen it, but there are robots. That's why we're having this discussion that actually [00:43:00] do roofs.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. And they're not, and that's the other thing people need to understand about robots.

They come in all different shapes and sizes. Yeah. They're built for their specific tasks. Yeah. This isn't humanoids. No. And humanoids will be necessary for some task because we've built the world.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: For humans. Mm-hmm. But this roofing robot is a little box. It goes up, rails carries the shingles, then starts laying the shingles and nailing them down.

When it runs outta shingles, it goes back to the, to the ground again. Yeah. So right now you still need a human to load the shingles, but in five years you'll just have a, you'll have a humanoid that, yeah.

Marcus Neto: Yeah, there's running a robot. We, one of the neighbors in our, uh, around the corner from us just had their roof redone.

And the other day when I drove by, they probably had about 20 people out there, you know? Yeah. Uh, working on it. And I, you know, if it gets down to the point where it's only one or two people, then it'll be a huge, uh, huge thing.

Scott Tindle: You're also gonna see it in, you're gonna see a surge in, uh, robot policing.

That's going to happen. That's

Marcus Neto: the one that kind of gets weird.

Scott Tindle: Yeah, it gets weird

Marcus Neto: when you have to, you know, obey a robot [00:44:00] for, you know, certain things. So,

Scott Tindle: and do the robots get designation, like service animals do? Because if you injure an officer's canine, you get charged for injuring a police officer.

Are we going to give the same rights to the robots? I don't know.

Marcus Neto: It's weird.

Scott Tindle: It's a question we're gonna have to ask.

Marcus Neto: So where do you, um, where do you go to, to find out, you know, some of the information that you've been learning about ai? What's been useful? Most

Scott Tindle: of the time I find something on X and then I use grok and say, where can I go learn more?

Okay. And then I'll just get down rabbit holes after that. Yeah. But then you start to curate your feed a little bit. And, uh, the algorithm will start to serve you more of those things. That's what people complain about the algorithm. I'd love the algorithm.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Because you're feeding me things that I wanna look at.

You're, you're not making me, I wish all advertisements were already curated. Yeah. Right. Like, I don't mind watching an ad if it's something I'm maybe interested in buying

Marcus Neto: bad. [00:45:00] Yeah. I just, if it's targeted, it may work and that's fine.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. I mean, but if you're telling me to ask my doctor about this pill and then here's the 50 side effects, I don't want that advertising.

Marcus Neto: No. It, um, I, I agree. You know, I get angry when my feed doesn't work, you know, when the algorithm doesn't work in my favor and like, re recently on YouTube, it seems like I've had, I've watched all the stuff that I've. Would normally watch. And, um, and so it's like, okay, well feed me, you know, another one that I'm gonna be interested in.

Right. But the stuff that I'm getting fed is just, it, it's not, you know, it's, it's not doing its job the same quality. Yeah. And I honestly, I don't also don't know that it's not because I've already watched all the worthy content. It may be the subject areas that I'm, 'cause I'm talking about woodworking and 3D printing.

Sure. Stuff like that. I mean, it's not like, yeah, you're

Scott Tindle: gonna, you're gonna run out of, uh, woodworking, YouTube. Guys pretty soon. Yeah. Creators. Yeah. There's

Marcus Neto: like five I bet. I bet they're real good at it though. Yeah. Well, um, obviously you've learned quite a bit over [00:46:00] the course of, you know, the last, I think it's probably been like two or three years since we've done one of these.

Mm-hmm. Probably. And, um, but you know, I do appreciate you sitting down. I, I have a couple of questions that I've been been asking people. Rapid fire. All right. So this is just kind of like, you know, let's do it. Alright. So, favorite type of music?

Scott Tindle: Um. Great question. Huey Lewis in the news.

Marcus Neto: Okay. What's your favorite time?

You look like a Huey Lewis, man. You said that

Scott Tindle: you're like, that's on brand. That's on brand for you. That's great, man.

Marcus Neto: What's your favorite type of food?

Scott Tindle: Mexican

Marcus Neto: favorite restaurant in lower Alabama.

Scott Tindle: Oh man. I'm gonna make somebody upset. I've got too many friends that own good restaurants.

Marcus Neto: Mm-hmm. So just gotta pick one.

Scott Tindle: Alright. If I've got to pick one boy. Right now, I would say debris down here on Dolphin because of the roast beef po. Boy,

Marcus Neto: I had the Ruben the other day. It was delicious. Um, [00:47:00] favorite city outside of Mobile,

Scott Tindle: Dubai

Marcus Neto: City you want to travel to but have yet to visit?

Scott Tindle: Um, Tokyo.

Marcus Neto: What comes to mind when I say guilty pleasure?

Scott Tindle: Uh, fantasy sports.

Marcus Neto: Dogs, cats, or none of the above?

Scott Tindle: Uh, I like dogs. Uh, we currently have a cat that adopted us, and so I like this cat.

Marcus Neto: Okay. Um, summer or winter?

Scott Tindle: Summer.

Marcus Neto: Uh, favorite movie or TV show?

Scott Tindle: Ooh, another good one. Um, I'm gonna go with Friday Night Lights.

Marcus Neto: Okay.

Scott Tindle: Both the movie and the TV show. Nice. For different reasons.

Marcus Neto: Consistency there. Uh, favorite holiday besides Christmas

Scott Tindle: fourth, the July.

Marcus Neto: Favorite color,

Scott Tindle: blue.

Marcus Neto: Favorite cereal,

Scott Tindle: cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Marcus Neto: What are you most thankful for?

Scott Tindle: Um, boy, that's a long list.

Marcus Neto: That isn't a rapid fire.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. Um [00:48:00] hmm.

One thing about having kids is they love you no matter what. Mm-hmm. And when you come home. They don't care how your day was at work. Yeah. They're not worried about that. They just want you to be with them. So that's, that's it. That's,

Marcus Neto: that is absolutely amazing. Well,

Scott Tindle: and for everyone there is the guy in the corner chopping onions.

No, I don't

Marcus Neto: think anybody's gonna fault you for having those feelings, because I think that if you don't have those feelings about your own kids, then you need to check yourself.

Scott Tindle: Yeah. Right. Being a parent is the hardest and best thing about life.

Marcus Neto: It really is. Yeah. I've learned more about myself in the last five or six years.

You know, my, my boys are a little bit older. Mm-hmm. So I've got, uh, miles, [00:49:00] who's, is he 23 or 24? No, he is 25. Wow. Okay.

Scott Tindle: Alright. So you had him when you were like 12.

Marcus Neto: Yeah.

Scott Tindle: Yeah.

Marcus Neto: So I've got a, you know, I've got some that are in their twenties. I've got one that's, you know, uh, just graduated high school, so 18 and, uh, and then, uh, 13 and 10.

Scott Tindle: Yeah.

Marcus Neto: So it's quite, you know, but I'll tell you like I've learned more about myself. Through that than anything else that I've, that I've done. Mm-hmm. And it, it really is, you know, it's, it's a blessing, you know, and at times it's just like, man, you wanna bang your head up against a brick wall because it's like, what am I doing?

You know?

Scott Tindle: Yeah. I try and remind myself that, um, you're not dealing with fully formed brains. Right? Yeah. They're, they're, their brains are not, they're, they're working it out for themselves. Yeah. They're trying to figure it out. That's

Marcus Neto: the problem is usually us. Yeah. We forget just how much we've learned and,

Scott Tindle: and you gotta [00:50:00] go through the process.

Somebody telling you what to do is helpful. Yeah. But learning how to do it yourself and you can't tell somebody how to go through their first time when they don't get invited to a birthday party or they have their first breakup, or all these things. You can't. Tell somebody how they're gonna, how to feel on that.

They gotta feel it themselves. Yeah, they gotta go through it. But I would say for anybody that is thinking, you know, should I have kids? I would say absolutely. Um, the first few years are really hard, right? It's like, like that kid, that kid is relying on you.

Marcus Neto: It's hard until they're a little bit more self-sufficient, which is usually around 30 or so.

Yeah, about 30. Around 30.

Scott Tindle: My mom might argue different. She might say 43. We're still working on it, you know? Um, but yeah, I, I, uh, kids man.

Marcus Neto: No, well tell people where they can find you.

Scott Tindle: So, uh, man, you can find me pretty much anywhere on the web. Um, [00:51:00] Scott Tal, T-I-N-D-L-E. It was funny, you've probably seen this meme before, but this actually happened in real life to me.

Somebody said, what's your email address? And I gave 'em my email address and they said, whoa, how'd you get your name? I said, I said, 'cause I was around when Gmail started.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. You know? Yeah. I, I made purchases of like domains and stuff like that for my name and you know, I think I got Miles and Preston at one point in time.

Mm-hmm. You know, and if they didn't want it then, you know, when they get got to be adults then sure. I just let it lapse. But, um, but you know, you don't think about those things really as just a normal person. But if you're involved in technology, it's like when something pops up, it's like, you know, Hey, I just stake my claim.

It's real estate, you know? That's right. Um, well, I wanna thank you again for coming on the podcast. Any final thoughts or comments you'd like to share?

Scott Tindle: Uh, thank you for having me, and I would just tell people to be curious. Yeah. Learn more. Figure out what you like to learn about and the more, more curiosity you have, the more joy you're gonna find in life.

Marcus Neto: Um, [00:52:00] I could not agree with you more on that.

Scott Tindle: Good. Yeah. Glad we're on the same page.

Marcus Neto: Absolutely. Curiosity is everything, and it's what I try to instill in the kids. It's what I, you know, I mean, it, it drives, it drives me. So, um, and I just wanted to say to you, like, I've really, I, I know we've kind of rekindled this friendship here recently over ai, and I'm just really appreciative of your friendship and I, I wanna, well,

Scott Tindle: I feel the same way.

Yeah. Yeah. It's, it is been really good to, um, get a, a group of people who are. That you can talk Yeah. And you can talk about things. And what's happened is our, our text has evolved now, right? So it's no longer just about AI and robotics. It's Chad going on a trip with his daughter. It's, you know, somebody on vacation.

Like, it's become really fun. Yeah. But, um, we should figure out a way to, to be able to take that to scale, because I would love for more people to be able to be a part of that conversation. Yeah. But text is not a way to manage that. Absolutely. I appreciate it, but [00:53:00] thanks again.

Marcus Neto: Yeah. Appreciate you coming on.

Scott Tindle: It's always fun. Thanks brother.
