I want to share something personal. In every journey, certain moments define us. Here are 12 insights that have guided me.

Some come from people I admire, others are hard-earned lessons. I’ve tweaked a few to really speak to me. Each one a gift to anyone looking to grow, connect, or simply find different perspectives.

Imagine having a guide for every month. A reminder that effectiveness comes from understanding others. That what we build within attracts more than what we chase. That protecting what truly matters makes all the difference.

My hope is that these words meet you exactly where you are. That they offer a moment of connection, understanding, or courage.

Wishing you and your loved ones all the very best in 2025!

As I recharge and wrap up the year, I’ve been doing some little AI experiments like using ChatGPT’s advanced voice and video capability to see how it can be helpful in daily life.

I asked it to count the snacks in our holiday station for delivery drivers. It wasn’t particularly helpful in this case. 😉 See the video below.

It correctly identified the items (Gatorade bottles, bags of chips, and Welch’s fruit snack packs) but struggled with getting accurate counts of everything.

It’s a good reminder that ChatGPT is a language model, not a computational model, so it’s not ideal for counting and doing math.

However, AI voice with video capabilities is already helping in interesting ways:

• Kieran Flanagan used Google’s Stream Realtime AI feature to optimize HubSpot’s website for conversions. (https://lnkd.in/g_JNpkdQ)

• Christopher Penn fixed his home plumbing using ChatGPT Advanced Voice with Video. (https://lnkd.in/gNBhAu-h)

While not perfect, it’s amazing at understanding language, offering insights, and solving problems.

This is the least capable version of AI we’ll ever have. Just imagine where we’ll be this time in 2025.

Have you tried any creative or surprising uses of AI voice with video over the holidays? Where did it work well? Not so well?

Ever feel overwhelmed by too many choices? That was me this week, staring at a wall of Asian noodles, trying to figure out which one to buy for pancit bihon (that famous Filipino noodle dish that many love).

Instead of texting my Filipino family or googling, I turned to my AI assistant. In seconds, it became my personal shopping guide: pointing me to the right noodles, explaining which ones to avoid, and helping me check off my recipe list.

This experience got me thinking about a massive shift in buying behavior:

1. We’re moving from “asking around” to “asking AI” for specific advice

2. The help is getting smarter. AI told me why some similar-looking noodles wouldn’t work

3. We get the whole package: from “buy this one” to “here’s how to cook it”

For those of us in B2B, pay attention to how our own consumer buying behaviors are changing.

They’re early signals of what’s coming to enterprise software and professional services, where buyers are finding their own AI shopping guides.

What does this mean for 2025? Get ready for:

• Making product information speak to both AI and people

• Reimagining sales conversations with buyers who are AI educated

• Building trust through data-backed claims that AI can verify

But that’s a chat for January. Right now, I’ve got some pancit to cook for 25 people!

Turn your holiday gathering into an AI-powered game show! I built a Christmas Emoji Jeopardy game for our upcoming family party with 25 people, ages 9 to 89.

Five festive categories: Christmas Songs, Holiday Movies, Holiday Foods, Christmas Decorations, and Holiday Traditions.

Here’s how it works:

• Decode emoji clues like 👵🦌💥🎅❄️ (What is Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer?)

• Track chosen questions

• Play with 2-4 teams using names like Sleigh My Name or What the Elf?!

• Use phone ringtones as buzzers

• Score based on dollar values and wagers

• End with Final Jeopardy in Christmas Controversy

• Win fabulous prizes

Check out the short demo video below!

Want to play? Full game link in comments (https://lnkd.in/g5mFGsBE). Project it on a big screen, add some Jeopardy music, and you’re set.

Beyond holiday fun, this interactive format is great for business. Think SKO training, customer discovery workshops, competitive intel sessions, or new hire onboarding.

Built this in two hours, no coding needed (Thank goodness! I don’t code!). I started with some ideas and AI helped brainstorm more. Together we brought it to life quickly.

The game format keeps everyone engaged. Perfect for 10-30 players.

Playing it at your holiday gathering? Let me know how it goes! In our Filipino American family, games and karaoke are holiday must-haves, so I’m excited to test this out.

Also open to suggestions for upgrades before our party. Enjoy the holidays with your loved ones!
