A practical look at the AI landscape, from chatbots and research tools to coding assistants, co-worker style agents, and agentic workflows that actually create leverage.
Most people think AI starts and ends with ChatGPT, but the real opportunity is much bigger. In this talk, JG and Nick break down the difference between chatbots, coworker-style AI tools, and coding tools, and show real estate investors and business owners how to use them to save time, reduce friction, and create more room for the work that matters most and the life they actually want to live.
7:25 PM PT The Resilient Investor with Steffany Hanlen
In volatile markets, the biggest risk isn’t the deal — it’s the investor operating under pressure.
Drawing from her experience as a 5-time Olympic coach and the high-performance systems used by elite athletes, Steffany Hanlen reveals how sustained pressure erodes judgment, energy, and execution over time.
Investors will learn the four pillars of executive resilience and practical protocols to maintain clarity, discipline, and strategic decision-making when the stakes — and the load — are highest.
