Today, I'm talking about something I've recently started using called ChatGPT Work, and how it's helping me manage my podcasts and stay on top of all the AI information coming my way.

Welcome to TableTalk Takeaways. This is where I take a few minutes to share something I've learned about business, entrepreneurship, technology, or just life that I think might be useful to somebody else. And this week, I want to talk about something I've been using that has legitimately saved me a lot of time. I cloned my voice. Now, before you start thinking I've created some AI version of myself that's going to host CockTails & TableTalk while I'm sitting somewhere drinking whiskey, we're not quite there yet. Though that doesn't sound half bad.

In this episode of Cocktails and Table Talk, we’re talking about entrepreneurship after 50—the lessons we wish we had known, the wisdom we want to pass on to our grandchildren, and what it truly means to build something that lasts. Legacy isn’t only about the money or possessions we leave behind. It’s also the courage we demonstrate, the knowledge we share, the people we help, and the example we set. Starting later doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re building with a lifetime of experience—and planting seeds that future generations may one day enjoy.

Today, I want to challenge something we've been told for most of our lives. We've been taught to work hard, and save for retirement, and finally enjoy life. But what if retirement isn't the finish line? What if it's actually the starting line? What if the next chapter of your life isn't about slowing down—but about building something that creates opportunity for your children, your grandchildren, and generations you've never met? This episodes conversation is about creating family-oriented businesses, turning life experience into transferable assets, and using entrepreneurship as a form of mentorship.

Today, I want to talk about something a lot of entrepreneurs don't say out loud: This grind called ENTREPRENEURSHIP!! It’s not always glamorous. And  we’re unpacking some of the things I have learned on this road called Entrepreneurship.

I’ve been trying to be better tomorrow than I was today, but lately it has not been working. I have been thinking of being an entrepreneur ever since i was a kid, from the lemonade stand, news paper route, metal scrapping, to giving basic computing classes at 15 years old. So I am no stranger to thinking up new business ventures. Follow us on the ReBrand, the Reset, and the ReLaunch of The New CockTails and TableTalk

For this coffee break, we briefly talk about making "it" happen. Whatever it is, a dream you have, a goal, that business you wanted to start, the marathon you want to run, or even that recipe you always wanted to try and make. We immediately fail when we don't even try.

Attack the morning and win the day! My daily mantra. Our mindset plays a huge role in our behavior. Get your mind right.

While looking for "Transformational" vegetable gardening tips on YouTube, I stumbled across this speaker. Cheryl Polote-Williamson considers herself a transformational speaker. What do you think is the difference between motivation and transformation? Do you always need some motivation to get certain things done, or do some things? Do you look for motivation in everything you do? How have you "transformed" yourself into who you are today? Are you transformed to the person you want to be? In our coffee talk, we discuss this. Join us.

For this coffee break we talk about surrounding yourself with people that will make you a better person to who and what you want to be. In order to get to where you want to be, do what you want to do, not only do you have to come to the conclusion that you must do the work, you also need to cultivate your external surroundings. You need to surround yourself with those in the know, those that know more than you. If you play sports you play people better that you to get better. In life you need to surround yourself with those that you feel will make you better at what you want to do

We finally got the chance to sit down and talk with multi-talented artist Jason Tomlinson….and if you recognize the name yes he is relations…my son. Let's hear from this singer, rapper, producer, actor and see how it started for him, and where this is all leading to.  Enjoy!
