Episode Description
Ever feel like everyone else has some special skill worth selling but you're just… doing your job? Here's the thing: you're wrong.
This episode is all about the expertise you've built up over years of showing up, solving problems, and figuring things out…the stuff that feels so natural to you that you've completely stopped seeing it as valuable.
Joe Downs and Peter Swain walk you through how to use AI to pull that hidden knowledge out of your head, sharpen it into something people will actually pay for, and put it in front of the right audience.
No guru status required. No starting from scratch. Just you, your existing expertise, and the AI tools that help you finally see — and sell — what you've already got.
This one's for anyone who's ever thought "I'm not an expert at anything." You are. Let's prove it.
