What the “teenager” question is really asking (Live Presentation)

The teenager question isn't really about the teenager.

Mel,   Of the three questions I raised at my last seminar, the one that gets the most uncomfortable reaction is the first one.   Can a smart teenager get 80% of what you do from ChatGPT?   People want to argue with it. They want to list the things a teenager couldn't possibly understand about their industry, their relationships, their nuance.   But here's the thing I've noticed: the most revealing moment isn't the answer. It's the pause before the answer.   Because the question is really asking something deeper than "is your knowledge replaceable?"   It's asking: where does your actual value live? In what you know or in what you do with what you know?   For most of the last century, those two things looked identical. Your knowledge was your product. What you could understand and explain to a client was the ceiling of what you could deliver.   That ceiling just got blown off.   On June 25th at 12pm Eastern, Josh and I are going to dig into what that actually means for a 7-figure business, and what to do about your answer to that question. Join us for “Three Questions Every 7-Figure Business Owner Must Answer about AI.”  [Register here → I want to think this through] Seize the day, Perry   PS: Scott Schang is joining us for the close of the June 25th session. He has a 4th question he thinks every business owner needs to answer before they go any further with AI.   ***NOTE: This email address isn't monitored!

Is Your Business AI-Proof? 3 Questions Every 7-Figure Entrepreneur Must Ask

Live Thursday, June 25th at 12pm Eastern. These three questions will tell you where your business stands

Mel,   I asked these questions in a room full of entrepreneurs at my Intervention seminar…   Question 1: Can a smart teenager get 80% of what you do from ChatGPT?   Question 2: Is your revenue tied to hours worked?   Question 3: Can a $100 million dollar company staff your niche?   If you have a strong NO answer to all three, you're probably in good shape.   If you're not sure, or if one of them made your stomach drop, you should join me and Josh Long on June 25th. Is My Business AI-Proof? (Live Presentation for 7-figure Business Owners)  We're not going to tell you AI is the answer to everything.   We’re going to show you…    How to think about your business in an AI world What it means to actually integrate AI into real operations (not just use it as a fancy search engine) What we've been quietly building inside AMN for the people who want to stay ahead of this   Josh is going to share what he's doing inside his own company right now. Not theory. The actual work.   And at the end of the session, we’ll give you a sneak peek into the 7-figure CEO Dashboard we’ve been building for AMN members.   One hour. Three questions. A lot of clarity. [I want to know where I stand — save my spot →] Seize the day, Perry   PS: One more thing – Scott Schang is joining Josh and me for the last part of the call. He's been doing something with AI that most business owners haven't seen yet, and he's going to show you where it starts. More on that as we get closer.   ***NOTE: This email address isn't monitored!

Why most 7-figure business owners are flying blind

They THINK they’re steering, they’re mostly just reacting

Mel,   There's a phrase I keep coming back to lately that I first heard from my brilliant friend Victor Cheng of Entrepreneur-to-CEO…   Are you flying by instruments or flying by sight? When the sky is clear, flying by sight feels fine. You look out the windshield, see the horizon, make tiny corrections, and the plane goes where you tell it. Then the fog rolls in. Now you’re flying on memory, feel, and whatever your gut says worked last time.  Which is exactly how most seven-figure owners run their business. They have revenue numbers. Old news. They have a P&L they look at once a month. Older news. They have instincts, and sometimes very good ones, but instinct is pattern recognition from yesterday wearing a clean shirt. In fog, yesterday is dangerous. A real instrument panel tells you what’s happening now, and what’s likely to happen next.  It gives you the signal before the mountain shatters your windshield. Scott Schang and I built something for Advanced Mastery Network members that gives you that kind of instrument panel. Present tense clarity. Forward-looking signals. A sharper view of where the business is actually going, not where the spreadsheet says it’s already been. Big talk, I know. So we’re going to show it to you. On June 25, Josh, Scott, and I are pulling back the curtain and showing why Advanced Mastery Network just got massively more valuable than it was even six months ago. And you’ll also get a chance to try it free for 14 days. Put June 25 on your calendar. And if you don’t want to wait, email Josh now at Email Josh at josh@perrymarshall.com to have a chat now.

The four practices of lucky people

Join me in Southern California

Perry Marshall: Live! Southern California on June 12 Get Perry's Eyes on Your Business Mel, Psychologist Richard Wiseman spent a decade studying luck. Turns out lucky people aren't lucky by accident. They do four specific things: They maximize chance encounters (meet strangers, wander into unfamiliar rooms) They trust their hunches  They expect good outcomes  They find gifts in misfortune  I’d like to focus on number one. As convenient as Zoom is, as comfortable as your office chair might be, you cannot maximize chance encounters by sitting in your office.  Luck congregates where people gather. Magic happens.  At Perry Marshall Live events something magical, and highly profitable, always happens.  I can’t predict what it will be, but it will be lucky, fortuitous, surprising and worth the cost of your ticket 10 times over.  It always happens.  If you can get your butt out of your office and show up.  And if the luck and magic aren’t enough to overcome your inertia, how’s this:  Show up with your thorniest business question. I’ll give you my best answer. Promise. If you don’t think so, I’ll gladly give you your money back plus $500 for your travel expenses.  Upcoming Perry Marshall Live Events: Wednesday, June 3, 2026  – London, England Friday, June 12, 2026 – Pasadena, CA Thursday, July 23, 2026 – Boston, MA Wednesday, September 9, 2026 – Greater Chicagoland Area  See Which Event Fits You Luck never happens if you don’t roll the dice.

Efficient but utterly miserable?

Join me in Southern California

Perry Marshall: Live! Southern California on June 12 Register Here Mel, In his insightful book “Alchemy: The Surprising Power of Ideas that Don’t Make Sense” Rory Sutherland points out… Something clearly went wrong with food in both Britain and America between the 1950s and the 1980s. It came to be considered to be more about convenience than pleasure. It seems astonishing now, but the predictions of the future I read as a child assumed that meals would be replaced by parcels of nutrients consumed in handy tablet form. It was for some reason thought that the purpose of food was to provide the necessary minerals, vitamins, protein and energy, and that the job of the food industry was to supply them in as efficient a form as possible. Some forward thinking people had defined food's function narrowly, in order to create a rational model of what the food industry should do. In this focus on scale and efficiency, people lost sight of what food is for. While it is, of course, a form of nourishment, it also serves a host of other ends. The proponents of delivering food in pill form had lost sight of the fact that it is enjoyable to eat, and a necessary prop at social occasions. Even if such pills could be produced, it is perfectly plausible that people who ate only such food would be utterly miserable. This is always the siren song of automation and efficiency.  It happens with every leap in automation. The Industrial Revolution: "We can replace craftsmen with machines!" The Internet: "We can replace in-person thingies with online thingies!" AI: "We can replace…EVERYTHING…with ChatGPT." Each time, there's a temptation to overreach.  To eliminate things for the sake of elimination. But the most valuable things are always the ones that cannot be replaced. The craftsman's eye. The handshake. The succulent meal. The magic of live performances. The brainstorming breakthroughs that never happen on Zooms and webinars.   Business education went through the same transformation. Webinars have become the food pill. You can consume information in your pajamas. Scalable. Efficient. But live events can never be replaced.  The breakthrough during someone else's hotseat. The partnership formed at lunch. The confidence from being in a room with sharp people who get it. The sheer human enjoyment of eating, drinking and telling stories together.  The unpredictably productive stuff that ALWAYS happens at great live events.  Strip that away and we might learn some things…but we’d be utterly miserable. As AI automates everything else, the truly human experiences become MORE valuable, not less.  Join us at the next truly human experience… Upcoming Perry Marshall Live Events: Wednesday, June 3, 2026  – London, England Friday, June 12, 2026 – Pasadena, CA Thursday, July 23, 2026 – Boston, MA Wednesday, September 9, 2026 – Greater Chicagoland Area  [Reserve Your Spot Now] Get my best answer to your most pressing business challenge – guaranteed.
