Okay, guys. George Wright III here. Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind, your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. And this whole week I've been talking clarity, focus, and discipline. And I'm at the Ritz Carlton in Dallas, and I pulled aside, uh, man, this guy's gonna blow your mind today. So Tucker Behn, thanks for being here, man.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Brother, you are, you're managing a massive family office. You guys are in businesses like, um, drone technology and innovative wealth and optimization. Hell, I, I mean, I can't even probably begin to explain all these things, but can you do me a favor and just give our listeners a sense of what you do on a day-to-day and what you're involved with right now before we go down a path of what I'm telling you today is gonna change your life if you are a high-end entrepreneur, so.
Yeah, absolutely. Well, I'll say, first of all, I'm a, I'm a father and a husband, right? I spend majority of my time with my wife and kid, and I got a second on the way now, so.
And your wife's birthday yesterday and your anniversary, so happy birthday.
Yeah. Anniversary- Yeah. Yep ... birthday on the same day. Just remember one day, gentlemen, right?
Makes sense. Um, but yeah, no, my day-to-day is pretty scattered. Every day is different. It's, it's not always the same just because of the complexity of our family office. We're always looking at deals. We're, we're making allocations, um, reviewing deals that we're in, the performance, right? Dealing with operations.
So e- every day is always different, uh, which keeps it fun.
Yeah. Well, and one of the reasons I wanted to highlight that is, is there's a, there's a foundation of why I wanted to have this conversation today. You're doing everything from drone and government type stuff to deep forensic backgrounds to health and optimization, and you have, with the size of your family office, you have opportunities coming across your plate every day of the week.
Mm-hmm. And, and you're managing a lot of different segments and industries. But you chose to go down a segment which was the topic of our episode today, which is AI. Mm-hmm. And of course it's a cutting edge trend, and most people are trying to capitalize on that. But the reason you chose AI was a, a specific reason.
So tell me about why you, you are going and doing what you're doing, and what it is that you're focused on right now.
Absolutely. Yeah, I think for me it was because, um, all the complexity that's out there, right? You people see the headlines, the billions and trillions that are pouring into the AI space, the data centers, right?
And, and your, your average person, right, is looking at that thinking, "Well, okay, that's cool, but like how does that benefit me?"
Yeah.
Right? What do I use? Do I use ChatGPT? Am I using Claude, Gemini? Like there's so many options out there, and some of them- It's a little
overwhelming ...
it's overwhelming. Yeah. You can get paralysis.
Or what I think most people are doing is they're just scratching the surface. They're using 10% of the capability. And I started going down a path like, okay, how can I really make it simple for just my own use cases- Mm ... what, what I'm doing with our businesses, right? 'Cause we have, we, we employ over 1,000 people across all of our businesses, right?
It's a lot of reports, a lot of operations, a lot of things to look at, right? So how can I just package up one simple system to make my, my life easier?
Right.
Right?
It's interesting how a lot of the stuff you're working in has actually stemmed from problems and challenges you've had, and they've become the biggest opportunities.
So- Yeah ... so you decided to go down the path of creating AI, um, which I do believe, I, I 100% agree, digital overload right now. Yeah. And most people are paralysis because they don't know where to start. For sure. So you had a need. You're like, "I gotta solve this complexity." So what did you create? What do you have here?
Well, it's called Caddy, uh, your unfair advantage, because I truly think it's gonna be everyone's unfair advantage. Because I've just made it simple. I didn't, I didn't create my own large language model. I'm not, you know, I'm not my own Claude. I, I built it off the back of Claude And it just brings everything into one kind of command center type of, uh, uh, platform where you can run everything from it, right?
You can run all your diligence, you can run your reports, it can manage your emails, schedule stuff in your calendar. Uh, it'll build software- So- ... automate your workflows.
So help me understand. So Caddy is something you created that you can download to your computer-
Mm-hmm ...
that will interface with Claude.
Yep. And you've already built into it a whole bunch of knowledge and tech so that it not only, and this is the understanding I have, so you gotta correct me if I'm wrong, it not only helps you to get set up in AI-
Yep ...
but it catapults you past the learning curve.
Right, right.
So how does it work? Talk, walk me through the process of what happens if you, if you, y- you downloaded Caddy and you, you started working with it.
What it... Walk me through the process.
So once Caddy's on your system, which is super simple, takes 20 minutes, um, you go through what's called an intake And, and intake is the, the foundation to make Caddy actually to your fingerprint
So you're gonna personalize it to me. I'm gonna answer some questions and things.
Personalize it. Got it. Okay. You go through like a 30, 60-minute process. It's gonna understand everything about you a- as much as it can- Yeah ... right, in a 60-minute window.
Does it matter if I get that all... Like, can I change that later? It's not a big deal.
Oh, absolutely. Got it. It's just trying to build a foundation, a memory profile of you, and it's always gonna continue to learn about you.
As you talk about new businesses, ideas-
Okay ...
uh, changes, right, adding new tools, it's gonna make those changes for you. You don't have to think about it. You don't have to say, "Hey, Caddy, by the way, can you add this new tool that we talked..." It, it's- Yeah ... already gonna remember it.
Yeah.
So.
So the... I'm excited because we're gonna be starting to, um, use this in our business, so I'll be able to speak to that.
But once you download it, it takes you through an intake, and then it starts to just set up the processes and integrate with the business you have, with the goal of what? To increase your productivity. Um, do you have to know a lot, be able to use it?
No, not at all. Look, look, I, I, I've never written a code of line, uh, uh, in my life.
Yeah. A line of code in my life. Yeah. I've, I've... don't even know what it looks like. I don't know how to start it. I've never used any kind of interface, and I think in the last three weeks I've written 22,000 lines of code just kind of passively- With the help of Caddy ... with Caddy. Yeah, yeah. I shouldn't even say I.
Yeah. Caddy did, right? Um-
So what's it done for you in your business? So- What, what has Caddy actually done for you and your business?
So for me, it, it runs, it runs a email triage for me. All, all, everything that's coming into my inbox, what's, what's a priority, what's fluff, what do I need to respond to. If I have meetings that day, it'll run calendar reports.
Uh, hey, you have four meetings coming up today. This is who they're with. It'll take all the information it can gather in the emails to, to tell you what, what you're talking about. Okay. It'll do web searches as well on those people and companies, and provide you a report to be prepped with.
Wow. Um- And did you have to set this all up with Caddy, or were there things, uh...
Because y- you talked to me about the fact that you've set up a whole bunch of, you know, skills already with Caddy- Yeah ... and stuff. But what have you baked into Caddy that makes it so quick and easy to use?
So I've baked in about 100 skills and commands.
Okay.
And, um, some people might use all of them, some people might not use any of them, or, you know, a couple of them, right?
Give me some examples of what you've built in, like...
Um, so, like, Caddy Draft, right? It'll draft emails for you. Caddy Tri- Triage, it'll run all your reports. Um, I have an auditor tool in there, so as you guys are building workflows or maybe a micro SaaS product- Wow ... or an app or a website, you build it, and then you run this command against it, and it'll review everything, all the code.
Um, it'll dry run it to make sure it actually works end to end before you push it live. Yeah. I've thought of everything, because for me, I don't, if I'm gonna do something, I don't do it half-ass. Yeah. I wanna make sure that it's a quality product. And to make it quality, to really kind of put that final stamp on it, I wanted to have an auditor baked into it that everyone can use no matter the size of the project.
Yeah, and it seems like from our conversations it's also something that is o- obviously growing and evolving and, and I know you started using Caddy just like most people do with AI- Mm-hmm ... in order to start creating more time for yourself, efficiency, and also 10X in your productivity. But the, the, the clients that would be, um, most benefiting from Caddy or from using AI tools are, are dealing with what kind of problems?
Like, what are they trying to do in their life right now? 'Cause, I mean, there's one thing to say we all just wanna be 100 times more productive.
Sure.
But what's, what's the goal with what you're trying to do for individuals that, uh, interface?
Well, I'll, I'll give you, uh, two examples and, and then you can kind of let your imagine run for everything in between.
But one of our companies, you know, we employ over 1,000 people, and we pay one single person $250,000 a year, give or take, and all she does is review every single job that gets done. We'll do over two to three million jobs a year. All she does is review those to make sure that the right codes are linked up with the job, and then she submits that report on a daily basis She doesn't need to do that.
Wow.
Yeah. I can have Caddy digest everything. We can, we can put someone at a, at a way cheaper profile to just kind of sign off on things, you know, 'cause there might be certain steps where it needs an ap- approval, "Hey, can I push this?" Whatever. Um, all the way down to one of my best friends, he, uh, is an energy broker, works a, you know, 9:00 to 5:00 job, and he wants to create more for himself but doesn't know where to start with AI, like I think most people.
Yeah.
Gave him Caddy, and in two and a half days, he built a fully functioning app that scrapes leads online for homeowners with up-to-date information. It tracks the weather to see when the latest hailstorm was or, or, or storm in general. Wow. Ranks the severity of it, one through 10, and then he built an auto dialer baked into it so that way he can give access to roofing companies to just run all their leads through there.
He did it in two
and a half days. It's cra- yeah, it's crazy to me because, um, the irony of why I wanted to have you come on is for two reasons. Um, you know, I know a lot of guys that are really deep in the AI space that are, you know, brilliant programmers, technology guys and things, but you're a guy that doesn't have any of that experience.
Mm-hmm. Of course, you have a wealth of resources and things behind you, but you had the need- Yeah ... just like most people, and you just were unsure where to start and what to do. Yeah. And so you not only did that, but you created... So there's this aspect of you not being the expert and, and were able to create.
Sure. Not just use, but create. But also you can relate- Yeah ... to what business owners are doing because it's like, where do you start?
Right.
And, you know, I think there's that argument we don't have to, you know, we can table for this conversation where people are like, you know, AI is taking jobs and things.
But imagine, this is my philosophy, imagine how much more productive you would be with your core knowledge if you are getting rid of all the tedious, like, I'm signing off on a million different little job deals, right? Absolutely. You can deploy those resources in places that make you a bigger ROI.
Yeah. I mean, it- Caddy's not meant to necessarily...
You don't have to use everything, right? It's like going to the grocery store.
Yeah.
When you go to the grocery store, you're not putting the whole store in your cart, right? You're getting what you need. You get the milk, you get the cheese, cottage cheese, whatever, right? Yeah. You're getting what you need that day, right?
So I look at Caddy as, look, just think of your most basic needs. Running e- Start there ... email triage, running reports. I, I think for me, you know, the tipping point within our organization was I got quoted $60,000 for some basic dev work on an internal product, like a little micro SaaS product I needed- Yeah
to make my business more efficient.
Yeah.
I was like, "Dude, hell no. I'm not, I'm not paying 60K." Yeah. "I, I can figure this out."
Yeah.
And so I built Caddy, and then Caddy literally in a week and for $100 from my Claude subscription built this micro SaaS product end to end, and it just, it does what it's supposed to do now.
Yeah. I think the AI conversation is very interesting. I was gonna ask you about this because I think people are trying... There is this aspect of digital overload. Mm-hmm. Um, there's too many tools, too many things. You don't know where to start, but also we lose track of the idea that all we're really trying to do is free our time up-
Yeah
but do more. Right. In other words, you wanna have more and do more, but with less time. Right. And the only way to do that is to focus on what your unique talents are, and the only way to do that is to free up your productivity. Um, so is this something that you, you feel like has done that for you?
100%. 100%.
I mean, we're seeing it across the board, and the mindset that I, I'm having at least at my family office is I'm not looking at how can AI get me to a point to where I need to cut staff, I wanna go fire these people. Sure, there might be some key situations- Of course ... but I'm looking, how can I get 20% more output?
Yeah. For me personally and for my, my people that work with me, how can I just get 20% more output? And, and, and, and we're getting a whole heck of a lot more than that, right? Yeah. It's hard to quantify- Yeah ... but I know it's more than 20.
Yeah.
Um, but I'm thinking, how can I get more output? Because I'm a builder.
Yes. I'm a doer, right? And I imagine most people that listen to this, they're building something. They're moving forward in life. They're not just, they're not going backwards. And so this just allows you to, hey, here's a simple system. Just go build. You don't have to think about, what skills do I need to add?
What's, what's the latest and greatest in the marketplace? Am I, am I doing this right? Yeah. Like, let, let me take care of that 'cause I'm using it personally. Yeah. Right? So I'm gonna have the best on there.
Right.
Let me package that up so that way all you have to do is just go build and create and innovate.
Yeah. It's interesting too because what I've learned over time, and I've had thousands of employees like yourself, and, um, you're, y- you're less and less needing to depend on whether these key people-
Mm-hmm ...
are having a good day, a bad day-
For sure ...
can remember their skills. I mean, 'cause- Absolutely ... we're all stressed, right?
Yeah. And when you're stressed, you, you don't always remember everything.
Yeah.
But you don't have to worry about that if you've got a Caddy- No ... a support tool. So this is why I love this, man. This is, this is amazing. But I wanna ask you a couple of important questions. Sure. I think one of the things that pops up for me and most is, like security, right?
Like, how do I know, like, I mean, is this in the cloud and, and, and that, you know? W- w- h- how do you help people to feel comfortable with the fact that they're building this- Mm-hmm ... this engine, this second brain, this second mind that's helping them a- and but they have the security
of that? 100%. Great question.
So the way Caddy's built, n- I don't host any kind of servers. Your, your data's not on my server. Um, I, I have no access to your stuff, right? It's, Caddy lives locally on your machine. The only risk that you would have is if someone hacked your computer or if someone hacked Anthropic. Yep. Right? Which, you know- Yeah
I, none of us could really, you know, avoid that. So, um, I wanted to make sure that it was completely your project. It's yours, right? You pay for it one time, it's yours.
So this is a download that you install- Yeah ... and you're building your asset, and this is a long-term payoff, obviously. For sure. This really, really helps a lot.
Um, I love that. And I, and I think, look, I think people are curious, and they're excited, and the other big thing that comes to mind is that they don't know where to start. This kind of helps them with that. Um, but they're, they're kind of thinking, "Okay, uh, like how difficult is this gonna be?"
Yeah. Yeah. No, it's...
And, and that's the question that I was asking myself as I was trying to figure out how to set it up. But I've got it to a point now where you're set up in 20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes, right? Mm-hmm. Depending on your experience or how fast your internet is, right? But you're set up, and then you're going through intake, and then you're building.
And you can start with whatever you want. You can give it your p- your biggest project- Yeah ... that you've thought of to date, or you can start with, "Hey, can you run a report on my email? Can you organize my email?"
What do you recommend for people that, uh, because I, it's much the same in the media industry where people are like, "I don't have time to do a podcast."
I'm like, "Bro, you would have time if you did a podcast." For sure. Um, and they're like, when... Do you have to add a whole bunch of extra time to your day, and how often do you use AI? And, um, you know, just give us some feedback there, 'cause I know- Yeah ... you've been down this path for a while, and there's a lot of people going, "I would like to use Claude.
I don't use it as much. When should I use it?" And things like... Give me some of your feed- your, your perspective on that.
I think the best way to look at it is if you have Caddy on your system, look at that as your right-hand man, right? The questions that you're gonna ask in your mind is, "Well, should I use it for this?"
You know, should I do this? Sh- could it help me with this? Don't think that and keep it inside your head. Just talk to Caddie.
I love it.
Right? Caddie is your right-hand man. It's your Caddie.
Yeah.
It's g- you don't, you don't, you don't put your thoughts in your head and just go take your shot when you're on the golf course.
You're gonna say, "Hey, I'm thinking about using a seven iron. You think I should use that?" And your Caddie's gonna either say, "Yeah, absolutely," or, "No, let's use an eight iron."
Yeah. Because, because of this. It's interesting 'cause most ... And that's a great analogy, 'cause and that's probably ... I, I know that's why you named it, but most professional, high-end, best in the world-
Mm-hmm
athletes, golfers have a Caddie.
Yeah.
They have someone that has- Absolutely ... a little perspective that's back there that's not emotionally in the moment, right? Yeah. And, uh, and I, I think that's pretty critical. Yeah. The other thing that's kind of interesting to me is, I ... And over time, it's, it's very similar to when I would tell, I would tell employees and partners and things when they ask me a question, I go, "If you ask me a question you could have Googled, uh, you're, you're making a mistake."
Yeah. Right? Yeah. So if you're asking a question, you're keeping it in your mind- Yeah ... on something you wanna find out, just put it in. Absolutely. If all you did was that, your life would change. 100%. I do that with clients, I do that with strategy, I do that with all those things. If you're just thinking it, ask it.
Yeah.
Um, that's the power of AI, I think.
Listen, I ... A- anyone that signs up with Caddie, you're, you're gonna be able to reach out to me at any point, and I'll always help you just because I love talking about it, and I, I love seeing what people can build.
Yeah.
But the best part about it is if you have a question, something's not firing off right, you don't really know what to do, just ask Caddie.
I ... In the last three weeks, I've, I've probably s- uh, done a thousand screenshots on my desktop, uploaded it to the Caddie chat and said, "What do I click?" Yeah. "What do I do now?" Yeah. Like, "I don't understand your steps." Well- And it says, "Click here. Do this. Go to this." Uh-huh. "And then screenshot and let me know you're there, and I'll tell you the next steps."
Well, what's funny is, and the reason I wanted to do this episode, so if you're listening to this, I know it sounds like we're doing this, like, long sales pitch on Caddie, but it's not the point. The point I'm trying to make here is that, um, it's a very tangible example of why there is a simple, massively productive tool called AI- Mm-hmm
that you have to use, and most of you don't know where to start. And that's, and that's understandable. But, um, you have to embrace this at some point. Mm-hmm. I think there's a, there's a point- And soon ... where if you don't do it soon, you are gonna be behind-
Yeah ...
the ball. You are not gonna be, um, as competitive.
And l- tell me your thoughts on this, because I do believe that individuals with knowledge and expertise that are empowered with AI- Mm-hmm ... um, there's that, there's that element you still have that will always make it even better.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's not just about you could be smarter with AI. It's like with your knowledge, expertise, and skills you can be unstoppable.
Absolutely. I mean, I think you're gonna see a massive wave of people who, um, are creating at a level that we can't comprehend, right? Um, uh, I'll go back to an example of my friend, one of my best friends. He would've never created this software because he doesn't know how to write code.
Yeah.
Right? But now you have these people, and, you know, I'm not trying to call them average, but you have these average people that don't know how to do this stuff.
They'd have to pay a developer to do it.
Mm.
Maybe they don't have the money to do it. They're gonna start putting out their ideas into the world. You're gonna see people start making more money, become more efficient. And, you know, I think it's funny is a lot of people, uh, at least in my conversations, think, "Oh, well it's gonna- Caddy's gonna save me so much time."
I've, I've never, I've never used Caddy, my computer, been in the office more than I have in the last three weeks 'cause I'm having so much fun- I know, right ... 'cause I'm getting more done.
Yeah.
My wife's saying, "Y- you're up till 1:00 o'clock in the morning working on your computer," and all I'm thinking is, "I'm just addicted to advancing."
Yeah.
I'm getting so much more done. I'm, I'm... What I'd get done in a whole day, I'm, I'm done by 11:00 o'clock in the morning. It's like, what do I do now? Yeah. You know? Like, let me... All right, let me go create more. Yeah. You know?
Yeah. That's why I love, you know, when you're, when you're, when you're like yourself, like when, when you're principle-based and you know what matters most, you can do that and it, and it works.
But I, I really do, um, you know, if you're listening to this episode, I, I really want you to think about how you can apply some of these tools, strategies, and things in your life because, um, you know, i- it, it isn't too... It's never too late to start creating the life that you're meant to live, the one that's optimized.
And it's not just about ideas. Whole entire channels of opportunity are opening in the world when you embrace some of these things that are happening. And the other thing is I really believe, and this might be a flip for some people, but your greatness in you, your, your ultimate potential is only gonna be unleashed when you have the tools to do it with.
Absolutely.
And, and you don't even know what your potential could be until you use some things that help you to pull it out. Yeah. And so it's one of the reasons why I wanted to have you on with Caddy. And, and, and also, um, early on, like this is... Guys, if you're listening, this is kind of like, uh, before a lot of people even know what's gonna be going out, and it's gonna be going out in a big way.
So- Mm ... last question: What's your vision of what you want to accomplish over the next couple years with what you're focused on right now? Outside of your family office and things like that with- Yeah ... with AI, what's your vision?
With AI, man, I just wanna support people, right? I, I'm doing so many fun things with my family.
Uh, it's, it's... I'm a capitalist. I wanna make money. I'm not gonna pretend. But it's not about the money for me. I'm, I'm just as excited to see what people build with it. I love getting those text messages, "I just built this," or, "I, I automated this part of my workflow," or, "I have this idea and I don't have to pay a developer to go do it."
Like, to me, that's really fun. Uh, so I'm just excited to see what people create. I know there's gonna be so many opportunities birthed inside of that. I mean, every day I'm thinking of all these- What an incubator. I was on the phone with my dad last night. I'm thinking, "Dad, I need five more of me." Like, I, I, I, I have so many ideas and so many things I wanna get done, I don't have enough time in the day.
Love it.
So I, I think, you know, to answer your question-
I
can
see that passion Yeah. You know? It's like you could be overwhelmed- Yeah ... with opportunities- Yeah ... 'cause you guys have a lot, but all of a sudden you, like, it reignites the excitement. You know- Yeah ... you might be surprised. If you're listening to this and you're, you're, you're in a business.
You're ma- you're kicking butt, taking names. Maybe you're struggling, whatever, but how much you can get passionate about things when you have an assistant or somebody that helps you feel like you are crushing it- Right ... it, it, it affects your confidence, your- Yep ... your self-worth, your results, your productivity, your partners.
Right. You start attracting opportunities, your authority, everything goes up. Right. So, um, yeah, I think it's a critical tool. So thanks for joining me, man. I really appreciate
