English Language Transcript:
Terry Brock [00:00:00]:
Now recording, and we are here in Acworth, Georgia at Hobbob Pike or whatever. Wait. What’s the name of this place?
Gina Carr [00:00:09]:
Woodstock. Hobgood, Georgia. We are in Woodstock, Georgia Woodstock. And Hobgood Park.
Terry Brock [00:00:13]:
Wait. I thought we were in Acworth, Georgia.
Gina Carr [00:00:15]:
That’s right across the street.
Terry Brock [00:00:16]:
Oh, okay. Well, they look very clever.
Gina Carr [00:00:19]:
They’re very close.
Terry Brock [00:00:19]:
Close and and clever. They’re both very clever. All that.
Gina Carr [00:00:22]:
Had to be a line.
Terry Brock [00:00:23]:
That’s right. Well, I’m Terry Brock, and this is Gina Carr, and we are here to help you grow your business and achieve the freedom we want. And part of that is getting out and exercising. Part of it is getting out and relaxing, being with family, and that’s what we’re doing in the midst of work. So, yes, this is still deductible. We’re doing it all together, all rolled into 1. So, Gina, tell us a little bit about where we are here in wood not not in Acworth, but in Woodstock. Right?
Gina Carr [00:00:49]:
Yes. This is Woodstock, Georgia, and it’s northwest of Atlanta by about 45 minutes or, gosh, about 2 hour driving now. But if there’s no traffic, it’d be about 50 minutes from downtown Atlanta. It’s where I lived for many years. I started several businesses here. It’s right at the edge of and part of Towne Lake, which is a master planned community, which I really loved. I started the Towne Laker here, and I started a century 21 here and have a ton of friends from this area. And, actually, in this particular park, for many years, we hosted and sponsored a whole we created the whole thing.
Gina Carr [00:01:25]:
It was called the Cherokee Jubilee, and it was a lot of fun, a big parade and festival.
Terry Brock [00:01:30]:
Oh, that’s very good. I think those kind of things are fun. But the key is, for your business, what are you doing to grow, to get outside of what you’re doing regularly? And then using AI gives you the ability today to really extend your mind. I like to think of AI. Tell me what you think of this, Gina. AI is really an extension of your brain. It’s a way for you to be more creative, to get more done than you would normally do, and you’re able to do that now with a power that you just haven’t had before. Even with all the great material, all of the great, good that we had with video, now we can do even more, I think.
Terry Brock [00:02:03]:
What are your thoughts?
Gina Carr [00:02:05]:
Oh, yeah. It’s tremendous. Someone was asking me today, do I have a good tutorial on Bitcoin? Because Bitcoin’s up and down, and people are talking about it, getting really interested again. You and I have been in it since 2013, a long time. And I said, I said, I really don’t have a good referral for a primer, but I recommend that you check out chat gpt and or perplexity because you can find out everything you need to know with resources and other links. You can really take a great deep dive.
Terry Brock [00:02:32]:
Yeah. Exactly. By the way, for that Bitcoin intro, I would recommend bitcoin.com. If you go to bitcoin.com, you’ll see there’s a lot of good there and a lot of quizzes and information. Plus, you can use chat gpt and perplexity as a tool to say, tell me about Bitcoin. How do I get started in Bitcoin? What are the dangers of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin? What are the opportunities? Things like that. Think of each of those as a chat that you have a conversation with an expert in whatever field it might be. That would be a good way to do it.
Terry Brock [00:03:04]:
So that’s one thing, but we also have someone else. We’re gonna walk over here since we’re using the portable devices here. Someone that we wanna introduce to you now, our, new intern who is actually kinda been an intern for a while, Dylan Carr. Dylan, welcome aboard.
Dylan Carr [00:03:17]:
Hey. Welcome y’all. My name’s Dylan. I am an upcoming entrepreneur, upcoming business owner, and I’m here with my dog, Teddy, right here.
Terry Brock [00:03:26]:
There’s Teddy right there. Hi, Teddy. How are you doing? Teddy gets a little rambunctious at times, but that’s okay.
Dylan Carr [00:03:31]:
Oh, yeah. But, yeah, I’m, hope I’m hopefully gonna open a lawn care business coming up here soon, me and my friend. We got it all started up right now. It’s, called Little Guys Cleaning Services, and we offer pressure washing and lawn cleaning services right now. And so, yeah, it’s going pretty good. We got all of our business cards, everything set up, and we’re right now just starting out and, you know, doing the simple, knock in on the doors, offering our services, and it’s going pretty good lately. So
Terry Brock [00:04:00]:
yeah. That’s wonderful. Dylan, you’re doing a lot with that, and I also noticed you’re doing a lot of study. You’re just studying what are some
Dylan Carr [00:04:07]:
of the topics that you’re studying through chat gpt and making notes on those? Well, a lot of entrepreneur notes, a lot of, basic school notes. I’m a unschooler, and I study a lot up on entrepreneurship and, like, astro astronomy. And it’s it’s going really good right now, and I use AI to help me find out to help me study and help me learn on the topics I want to. So it really helps out a lot.
Terry Brock [00:04:34]:
Yeah. I noticed also what can happen to this, you’re using AI to learn about algebra Mhmm. And about, history and about other concepts and tools. Tell me how that works.
Dylan Carr [00:04:43]:
So, basically, I’ll just ask AI. I’ll be, like, give me a topic I can learn for this, this, that as a 9th grade unschooler, and it gives me a full thing of topics I can learn. And then I’ll ask, okay. Great. Describe this to me in a way that I can take notes down and study for it. And that’s what I’ve really been using now, and it’s working really good.
Terry Brock [00:05:02]:
What would you say to someone who’s watching this and thinking, wow. I didn’t know you could do that with chat GPT. Is there anything else we can do with it?
Dylan Carr [00:05:08]:
Oh, there’s tons of things you can do. So there’s ChatGPT plugins you can use to use anything you want. You can create. I created almost my whole business using AI for my imagery, my profile pictures, my logos, my cards, everything. AI is a real big help for everything I’m using.
Terry Brock [00:05:26]:
Yeah. I like what you’re saying about using your imagery because we talked about the text to image that we talked about. You and I were showing I was showing you how to do that with DALL E 3. Dolly 3 ties in with that through there. Tell us how are
Dylan Carr [00:05:37]:
you using that now. So, yeah, Dolly 3 gives me I just ask you to I’ll I’ll just give it a text, like, hey. Give me a logo for my lawn care company with for example, me and my friend, 2 guys, 1 pressure washing, 1 cutting grass, and they’ll give me a perfect logo with our I’ll say, write my description on it, like my business name. It gives me a perfect one, saves me a ton of money. I’ll have to hire a designer to probably do what I would do to design it. So it’s it’s it’s going really good, and AI has really helped me a lot with my business and what I’ve been doing lately.
Terry Brock [00:06:08]:
So Very good. Well, Dylan, we appreciate you working with us and being here.
Dylan Carr [00:06:12]:
Oh, yeah.
Terry Brock [00:06:12]:
And, on that. And and, Teddy, we appreciate you being here. Yeah. Teddy’s kinda excited, although it looks like there could be, could be a new mascot, and it could be a squirrel over there. So Teddy is pretty excited about that. But we wanted to show you some of the things that we’re doing right now. Here we are in, Woodstock, Georgia, not in Acworth, Georgia, and we’re getting a chance to work with this. You can use your business tools anywhere.
Terry Brock [00:06:34]:
We’re using a portable machine right here. Use my s 24 Ultra from Samsung. Got a nice little tripod. The wireless mic here that we got, which is working out really well, although there’s another one right here that we were going to use, but guess what? Somehow, the battery went kaput. I think that’s the technical term, Janet. Kaput. It went dead. And so we’re going to need to discharge that.
Terry Brock [00:06:55]:
But I’ve got another one, and we thought that was charged. But guess what will be done tonight? It will
Gina Carr [00:07:00]:
be charged. Yes.
Terry Brock [00:07:01]:
That’s right.
Gina Carr [00:07:01]:
In Georgia, we call that plum near give out.
Terry Brock [00:07:04]:
Plum near give out. I think that’s a good technical term. I like it. Alright. Well, Gina, thanks for being with us today. Glad to see you here on Shark Raving Entrepreneurs. And, Dylan, good to have you with us.
Dylan Carr [00:07:13]:
For having me all. I really appreciate it. I’m glad to be on here on Shark Raving Entrepreneurs to share my story and what I do with AI in my business. So it’s been a pleasure. Wonderful. We’re glad to
Terry Brock [00:07:23]:

Like, we’re out here walking teddy, getting the chance to enjoy a nice beautiful day temperature, little bit chilly. I think it’s about 75.
