Tyson Mutrux 00:00:13 Welcome back to this week's Guild live show. Today I've got a really good one. we're going to be talking about how you can use agents to work with WordPress. It's going to be a really, really good one. I can't wait to talk about that one, because we had to create a really complicated, workflow to make WordPress work. And I'm hoping that this is something that will simplify that a little bit. I'm going to tell you a few things you can do to lead meetings better. I think that's a really, really good one we're going to talk about. We're going to talk about a term sleep max sleep maxing. I had not heard that term before. That's it's going to be an interesting one about how to maximize your sleep. I although I really, really believe in the importance of that. I'd never heard of that before. So that's something we're going to talk about.
Tyson Mutrux 00:00:58 And then we're going to talk about, some tasks you can automate with the comet browser. That's perplexities browser. And then the final thing we're going to talk about is using some prompts to increase your online authority that, that should be pretty, pretty helpful for a lot of you, especially anybody that is, doing it yourself. So let's get into the first one. And that is going to be it's hosting her as the name of this. and I found this and I was I was like, oh, wow, this is really interesting. So hosting here makes WordPress a genetic web. Ready? This is from Search Engine Journal. She's hosting or brings WordPress into the web with a simple one click option. so we built out this workflow that we have things posted. We don't have them posted to WordPress. We have a giraffe created and then a human goes and in it. the human changes things to make sure it's everything's more human like, and that it doesn't, because we have very specific rules. And we have we start with outlines and we have an outline editor and an article drafter and then an article editor.
Tyson Mutrux 00:02:15 It's one of the workflows, a similar workflow to ones I'd shown on the show months ago. And it even though we have given very specific rules, we still have a human that's involved. And so it's a to connect it to WordPress was not the simplest thing in the world. You've had to build out, he had to do something with coding and all that. And I had something that's beyond my, my expertise. But it it was far more complicated than I thought it should have been. and I'm wondering if this is going to help solve that problem. So hosting or announce a new AI agent optimization feature that makes any WordPress website AI agent friendly, optimizing websites to provide the best experience for humans, using AI agents to compare products, plan vacations, and perform other tasks that are part of a user's information and consumer journey. A genetic web the genetic web is a new reality of the internet based on reducing friction for a genetic AI. Genetic agents. Genetic AI refers to a bus that go out into the web to complete tasks on behalf of humans.
Tyson Mutrux 00:03:19 The original version of the web was optimized as a platform for interactions with people. The genetic web is optimized for interactions with AI agents. What makes the authentic web possible is a collection of protocols and standards that makes it easy, yada yada. So there. Web two Agent zero announced a new feature called web two agent. Web two agent makes WordPress websites agenda AI friendly with a simple with a single click. So this this is more directed ad it seems because it's not something I've been able to review yet. It's something that I wanted to look at on the show, and it looks like this is more of from the user standpoint. So the the search, the person that's going in searching, and they're going to look at it and, they're using agents to search for them. So this doesn't this isn't necessarily someone that owns the site. That's something that's going to benefit them from an agent standpoint. So this is interesting. if we think about this from a from our standpoint, it does make more sense.
Tyson Mutrux 00:04:21 So let's say I'm using agents to go out and find me a lawyer. having this involved on our site makes a lot of sense because if our if our sites are not AI agent friendly and if people are going to start using agents more and more, it's. This reminds me of whenever, mobile first started to become a thing and then, you know, people started to make their sites mobile friendly and all that. This is very, very similar to that. for the I don't know, those of you that remember this. I think there used to be for mobile, we the URL was like m dot whatever the URL was, if I remember correctly. So there was a little bit and then it eventually was just your sites became mobile friendly and everything, because it was almost like we have like two different websites. One was like for the mobile site and one was for the, the desktop version. But so this is very interesting because right now I'm guessing that based on this, most sites are not agent friendly and this is going to make them more agent friendly, where I'm guessing the agents can communicate with each other.
Tyson Mutrux 00:05:35 So this is probably some sort of agent on the website's end that's communicating with the agent that is searching the site. That's that's an interesting thing. it's I had not thought about making sites AI agent friendly. That's that's a completely different thing than what I thought that this might be, but, hey, it's I think getting ahead of this now makes a lot of sense. That's interesting. Very good. All right. Let's get to our next story. And this is about how to lead meetings. 3 to 3 simple things to do in meetings to show you our leader. This is one from Forbes. And, let me pull up the article so everybody can see it. I thought this was an interesting one. I thought this would be really helpful for, people that lead meetings. So, three simple things to do in meetings to show you are a leader. Okay. Future leaders are spotted in meetings. that's a that's an interesting, subheading. Future leaders are spotted in meetings. No kidding. when you're when you take meetings seriously, you're making a major deposit in your personal brand bank.
Tyson Mutrux 00:06:51 Being truly serious about meetings means staying engaged from start to finish, even when it is tempting to tune out after delivering your update. Okay, so here's a few tips. Preparedness leaders take meetings seriously. One of the most valuable leadership moves happens before you walk into the conference room or click join meeting. Small preparation signals perfect professionalism. Before every meeting, review the agenda and gather key data, then arrive a few minutes early. The prep step is among the most important elements of a meeting yet the busyness of work. Busyness of work that's interesting, often prevents us from completing the step that diminishes your opportunity to shine. Successful leaders don't wing it. They come prepared. All these ads. It's amazing to me that all these ads still, this is just I would never if I weren't doing the show right now, I wouldn't even notice this. I would be more, more likely to click off of this website, then actually click this ad or pay any attention to this ad. It's, it's it's one of those things where I can't even believe that people are still doing ads like this.
Tyson Mutrux 00:07:59 I just can't believe it. I can't imagine that they're effective. But anyways, I digress. so when you're prepared, you're more likely to get value from the meeting and contribute meaningful, meaningful, and memorable rather than just showing up. Take time beforehand to consider what's expected of you. Are you being asked for insights, yadda yadda? Your personal objective for the meeting? Stakeholders, recognition opportunities and smart questions. So asking powerful questions during a meeting is a great way to help everyone get clear about the topic. So that's number one. Engagement leaders are actively engaged throughout the meeting. One of the biggest mistakes you can make in meetings is letting your attention wane once your part is done. Here's what's interesting about this article. it's about once your part is done, because there is and it's specifically about that. Elon Musk in his companies, he they talk a lot about if you are no longer needed in the meeting, you have free will to be able to just leave the meeting at any point. If you feel like you're not getting any value, if you can feel like you're not adding any value, you can leave at any point.
Tyson Mutrux 00:09:04 So it's interesting to me that if your part is truly done and you have nothing to add to the meeting and you have nothing, to learn from the meeting, that you I don't believe that you should just force yourself to be engaged. But I think if you do have an active role in the meeting. Yeah, definitely should be engaged. you use visual listening, visual listening, eye contact and cues as clarifying questions. Connect the dots, advance the conversation. I think that's good. demonstrating leadership in virtual meetings. When attending meetings, virtually be even more intentional about how you show up. keep your camera on, resist multitasking. Use the medium. Although most elements of virtual meetings can feel less visceral, there are some features that can make digital meetings more dynamic. Leverage chat to amplify others, drop helpful links and capture next steps in real time I. That's one of my favorite parts about meetings. Virtual meetings is that ability to chat because you can have sort of this side conversation that's a part of the main conversation.
Tyson Mutrux 00:10:09 So it is it's not so not a separate conversation. It's not like it's like completely separate. It's a part of the main conversation that everyone that everyone's talking about. But you also like being more. It's like another level of engagement, which I think is kind of cool. Mind your environment. A clean branded background, clear audio and concise visuals. enhance your credibility. I think the most important part of this, it's not it's not the clean branded background, it's the clear audio. I think some there's not much they can kill a meeting more than than like terrible audio. So I think that's that part's really, important. So make the most of meetings. Just showcase your leadership potential. So there you go. That is that article about how to be a better leader in meetings. and let's get to sleep maxing. So sleep maxing is something I guess I've been doing it without realizing it for the last couple of years. And it's where you are optimizing your sleep. Okay. And I pulled up some some tips that you can do to help sleep.
Tyson Mutrux 00:11:16 Max. well, let me just tell you, I may have I think I've mentioned some of this on the show before, but, and some of the stuff that's gonna, they're going to mention, we, I went through and I took some black electrical tape and went through and taped up every single light in my room. so there is zero light in the room. There is, I wouldn't we had a hallway, like night lights and stuff that I went unplugged and moved in and moved around the house because you couldn't see them under the doors, went through and got blackout curtains, so it made it pitch black. The only light that was showing through. And Amy was like, it's it's kind of crazy because sometimes in the middle of the night, you like, would run into things. I'll tell you about how that we've solved that problem in a second. But, the only light that was in our room is the one from the TV. And the only reason why that is, is because otherwise the TV remote will not work on the TV.
Tyson Mutrux 00:12:15 Otherwise I would be that little red dot I would get rid of. But it it was so funny because it was so pitch black that you you would walk into things. You would. It was disorienting. It was wild, really wild. But we bought a new bed. It was something Marco Brown had talked about. I can't remember if we talked about on the show or if it was during a mastermind or something, but I went and got I had a sleep number bed a long time ago, got rid of it. I got one of their newer sleep number beds that are pretty freaking awesome. So it's got the temperature control. This is something they talked about too, two. In this article, it's also a Forbes article about sleep maxing. And but it's actually temperature control for the thing that solved the running into walls in the middle of the night was when you get up, there's a light underneath the bed that turns out like a very, very dim light. You can control the the how strong the light is.
Tyson Mutrux 00:13:13 That part's really, really helpful because it's not so bright that it's going to wake you up. It's just just enough so you can see your way to the restroom or if you need to, you know, go out into the hallway or something. So it's really, really, really, really helpful. But let me, let me get to some of these sleep maxing and practice. You know, I'm sorry this was not this was not a from a Forbes article. This was something that I had seen and that I looked into more, I pulled these from other places. So I'm thinking about the last article that we're going to cover and on the authority props. That one's from Forbes. This one is just from places. I've pulled it from all over the place. so sleep tracking Amy where my wife Amy wears an aura ring. She. That's something she uses to track her, sleep. The sleep number bed that we have that also tracks our sleep and. But then also use the whoop. so whoop.
Tyson Mutrux 00:14:07 This mentions you can use Apple Watch but Apple's the battery life on it is not good. So I wouldn't recommend it for that. But so it monitors HR of your deep sleep Rems. So the hoop is really good. I think the hoop does an amazing job of tracking sleep and quality sleep. Really good temperature manipulation. So making sure that you're in a cold room, you can use chilly pads. I used to we actually we still do have a chilly pad. We don't use it anymore. It's in a box. But we now use that that new one, that new bed, it has temperature control, which is fantastic. And you can have it where it's warm as you're going to bed. It's got a separate foot warmer from the actual bed itself. And then during the night it cools, starts to cool down. And and it, it adjusts based on your body temperature. Really interesting. It's really, really helpful. Definitely helps you get some deeper sleep. Blue block, blue light blocking.
Tyson Mutrux 00:15:02 So glasses. Apps, red light therapy before bed. I bought some of those Huberman glasses. Can't remember the brand, but, I like those a lot. They're. They're these amber colored glasses that blocks blue light. Amy makes fun of me when I wear them. But I do think that they're, They're very, very helpful. This this is supplements of magnesium. Magnesium are really important. for those of you that need it. Really important vitamin to take. this is melatonin microdosing. But I've heard some bad things about melatonin. So healthy. And I've also is really good. And then glycine. sound and sensory interventions, white noise, binaural beats. pink noise and then aromatherapy. Never heard a pink noise before. Don't even know what it is. but that's that's on this list. And then bed stacking rituals combining pre sleep routines with sauna and cold plunge, plus meditation and supplements. So stacking all these different things. So these are some different things you can do to maximize your sleep, which I can go with all the benefits of, of getting good sleep and all the risks and everything.
Tyson Mutrux 00:16:05 But it I think everyone knows the risks. I mean you're like when it comes to risk not getting sleep, you know, you're talking about weight gain. You're talking about sleep apnea. Could be could be one of the things that cause it. But, you know, just you're groggy throughout the day. There's just lots of risks. I mean, it's it's I think we all know that the the benefits of sleep are just are there and that we should we should certainly be following them. But. All right, let's get into our next article, which is the comet browser. And this is some tips. Now this is one it's not specifically about the comet browser. I've talked about the comet browser. This is from make use of.com. I thought this was an interesting one. I was scrolling and I saw this article and this one, I made perplexities comment my default browser to automate four tasks every day. I can tell you I have made comment my my main browser, my default browser and it was a I it I didn't like it in.
Tyson Mutrux 00:17:10 The reason why is because I couldn't use it for the show. I had it on this computer and whenever I would open a new link in a tab, I could not share that link whenever I was streaming. So there's still some issues when it comes to that. It still got to catch up with Chrome and all that, that there are issues. Otherwise it's a fantastic and like, I wish I could use it as my primary browser because of all the great features. There's an assistant that you can use, so many different features. I really, really do like it, so I would recommend that you do it. If you don't have the if you don't have the stream, that's that's what I would say. So perplexity is comet Browser can do what other AI tools can't. It can browse the web like we do. While ChatGPT Claude and even perplexities answer engine are stuck with pre-trained data and get blocked by websites. Comet navigates the internet like a real browser. It does do an amazing job. What we can do is I can see to try to show you how this works.
Tyson Mutrux 00:18:10 I can see if I can get it to if I can share my one of these, one of these browsers. So one of these browser tabs and I will see if I can do this. For those of you that are just listening. I'll walk you through this. But let's see if I can actually share this now, because this would tell me that there's an update. And and that's why I want to see if there's any sort of update that would allow me to do this. And. I'm looking for one of those things like, like right now if what if, if I'm in StreamYard when I say when I'm looking for window, it's hard for me to find. I'm going to share it and see if it does it. And it did it. Okay. So it has been updated now. So this is good. So check this out. Watch. Well here's what's cool about this. search for the now I mean this is a basic one okay. So let's see. Best restaurants in Nashville, Tennessee.
Tyson Mutrux 00:19:21 So, Maxwell is next week, remember? if you're gonna go, you got a week to get tickets, so it's next. There's in Friday. So, if you're listening to this, I think it's. You're gonna hear this the day after the conference ends. But if you're watching this live in the guild, you probably already know that the conference is next week, but let's see, I wanted to actually see, I want oh, here's what I should do. I want you to search Google Maps for me, because what it did is it gave me some in the actual side chat. I did it now. And so because I didn't prompt it properly, I was too busy talking to the screen. I actually just prompted it again because I wanted to shoot search Google Maps. I want you to see what it looks like. So it's actually doing this in real time. And that's what's pretty cool. So it's actually pulling up in Nashville on Google Maps. Best restaurants in Nashville, Tennessee. It's searching.
Tyson Mutrux 00:20:26 It is now zoomed out. It was it was zoomed in before. But on the left side you can actually see the search search results. And that's why I want to show this to you, just because you could see what it looks like. And it it has all these little buttons all over the place, make it the default browser, all that kind of stuff. So it definitely they're definitely pushing it quite a bit. But let's get back to this article though, so you can see what I'm talking about. So they had automated automated forecasts every day. So comment and custom shortcuts assign instructions to custom shortcuts. Okay. So you can create shortcuts, which is pretty cool. Like most AI tools come in as an on demand automation browser, so you'll need to give it instructions every time you want it to do a task. But having to write the same lines of instructions is a waste of time. And for someone who writes all day, every day, it's not the most exciting thing to do.
Tyson Mutrux 00:21:18 So instead of typing those over and over again, this person uses shortcuts so you can assign a prompt to a custom word which works as a text expander. So those of you who don't know what text expander is, it's it's something just a way of using shortcuts. So so basically if you're for this, for example, if your daily workflow is involved finding the latest trending topics on social media, you can create a shortcut slash trending hyphen on hyphen social hyphen media. For the prompt I want to know about the latest together so you can create this little prompt that gives us, that expands us. So you can do the search. So that's, create the shortcut. That's one way it sounds like update, update my worksheet with completed tasks. So automatically update my Google Sheet based on tasks task status asana. So that's pretty cool that you can do that. You can have a do so we can update that, organize the tabs group, and manage browser tabs intelligently. So I end up with dozens of tabs open by lunchtime research tabs, documentation.
Tyson Mutrux 00:22:19 Combine this with my tab recording habits, and my browser becomes a chaotic mess in no time. When I have relied on some excellent tab management tips to manage my tabs more effectively, comma can organize my tabs with a simple command. So that's pretty cool. So you can actually take it. I've got all these, you know, tabs open up and you can have it, take care of that. That's pretty cool. And then review my previews a second pair of bias to fix what I miss. So this is where you can have it. Look at your article that that the this person has written and then have it edit so you can have it when you're if you're writing something you can have it review and then edit what you're working on. I have it do that sometimes too. And then you can create and automate daily, weekly or monthly tasks. So comments automated tasks feature allows you to schedule recurring actions based on frequency. Every morning it shows me my asana tasks and recent comments for the day.
Tyson Mutrux 00:23:13 Twice a week it checks my Amazon, subscribe and save items and adjust quantities based on my input. So that is pretty cool. So if you look at the settings, you can go to the settings in the browser and it gives you a lot of functionality. And my guess is, is that Chrome is coming soon with that stuff. That is that is my guess. We shall see. All right. Let's get to, the last one, which these are the prompts. It took me some digging to get this, by the way. so these are some prompts that's from Forbes. and these are there's going to do some digging. It's because I don't have a Forbes subscription, so, this article wouldn't let me have the full thing, so. You're welcome. this is these are seven prompts that you can use to. I probably should admit of that, but, these are seven prompts you can use to, increase your authority online, which will help you when it comes to search and everything. So, the first one is authority content engine.
Tyson Mutrux 00:24:17 act as my content strategist based on my expertise in blank field. So mine would be, like personal injury. My niche audience of. And I would put it in my niche audience and who, in my credibility markers. So you list your the things that make you more critical credible at 1 to 30 day authority content plan for cornerstone posts, 12 different derivative posts and weekly distribution across LinkedIn slash x slash newsletter. Keep it first person conviction driven and unmistakably me. Include hooks and CTAs. angle. So the number two angle and bio bank for media number three top podcast pitch and pitch plus pitch draft four is signature talk plus speaker, one sheet, five case studies and social proof pack six strategic collaboration and guesting and then 730 day authority cadence scorecard. So let's let's do that one design a day to day, day by day 30 day schedule to execute all of the above include all include daily actions, time estimates, a simple KPI scorecard, reach, replies, invites, backlinks, bookings, and a weekly review ritual to iterate.
Tyson Mutrux 00:25:30 So the let's do another one. I want to give you another one. One of these. I'm not going to read all of them just because it's I don't I don't think you want me to read prompts to you all day. angle and bio bank for media. So you're my PR editor. Craft a tight 120 word media bio plus ten timely story angles I could credibly speak on this month, each with a one sentence takeaway and suggested headline tailor for business outlets and podcast my audience reads, listens to and let's do the podcast. Build a this is the top podcast to pitch and pitch draft. Build a list of 25 podcasts that reach blank audience to describe audience and regularly feature blank so roll topics for each show fit, reason, typical guest angle and host contact root. Then write a short, punchy pitch email in my voice and three subject lines to a B test. So they're good. I had this do something for me. I was we're trying to get a particular song license that is not in our pack of songs we can license for the conference.
Tyson Mutrux 00:26:39 if we can get licensed, you'll hear it next week. But I use this and it created actually, I was in combat and actually created an email inside of the chat box and I just hit send. I made a couple of tweaks to it that I did some things, that I wanted it and added some other things. Just hit send right there from the browser. It was incredible. I didn't have to do anything cause it already has my email information, so that was pretty cool. Pretty neat. But all right. that is. I forgot to click the link on that one to show that it's on the 30 prompts, but that is all we have this week. Hopefully you got something from this episode. I this was a fun one because I gotta get a mix of things in here. So, sometimes it's a little AI heavy, but, I don't know. These are a lot that I thought were pretty interesting for me that I'm going to try. So it's, it's hopefully got something from this episode, but we will see you all.
Tyson Mutrux 00:27:31 I will there will not be a show next week because of the conference. We will though. That's going to be the day for the mastermind. And the day before that we're going to be recording. So, have a wonderful week, everybody. We'll see you in a couple of weeks. And if you're at the conference, I'll see you at conference. See you buddy.
