AI Biz Hour Community: Your Weekend Update

AI Biz Hour Community: Your Weekend Update

Hey everyone, this is John (@aijohnallen) from the AI Biz Hour Community. Your weekend update is here! Occasionally, I'll reach out outside the weekly newsletter for more of a casual conversation.

We're making some exciting changes to keep things fresh and sustainable:

• New Time Slot: Starting tomorrow August 11th, we'll shift to 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM PST, Monday through Friday. This allows for revolving co-hosts and special guests to join the mix.

• Under the Community Umbrella: The AI Biz Hour will now officially fall under the AI Biz Hour Community banner.

Andy, Thank you, You’re Gracious and Generous With Everyone

I want to give a huge official thank you to Andy (@andywergedal) for co-hosting and delivering so much alpha and value every day. He's mentioned way more than me in the newsletter—and rightfully so, thanks to his deep knowledge and experience. This transition to the new time will take some getting used to, but change is accelerating in AI, and we're all adapting together. I hope these updates make it as smooth as possible for everyone.

The AI Biz Hour Community Wants More Special Guests

Based on our recent poll in the community (where "more guests" was the top request), we're ramping up there too. If you know someone who'd be an amazing guest—whether they're in your network or launching something cool—please DM me.

AI Biz Hour is a Labor of Love Which Gives Daily

The AI Biz Hour is truly a labor of love. I get so much out of listening, speaking, and engaging with all of you. I genuinely enjoy hosting daily and hope it's delivering real value—like the actionable insights from recent shows on AI agents and model testing.

Are you getting value from the Show?

If you've been getting consistent value and would like to show appreciation, here's a link to my Zelle info (AIJohnAllen’s Zelle). Any contribution—$5, $20, $45, $100, or whatever feels right—would be incredibly helpful and greatly appreciated. I won't make this a regular ask; it's just at this pivotal time.

Become an AI Biz Hour Benefactor and Have A Stake in the Show 

If you'd like to go further and become a benefactor to help elevate the show, your support could fund key upgrades like sound mixing equipment, solutions to integrate my guitar playing (for some fun musical interludes), mixing in sound effects, and other enhancements for a more professional production. With my background in music engineering, recording, playing live, lighting, cameras, and simulcasting live shows on platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn Events, Rumble, Twitch, and more, these improvements would take the AI Biz Hour to the next level—making it even more engaging and polished for everyone link AIJohnAllen’s Zelle.

Why the Time Change?

The main reason for the time change? After 200 shows, I need to devote my full days to my business. Splitting my focus midday has been tough, so this adjustment lets me keep delivering without burning out. If you're able, your support now would mean the world—I feel like the value we've built together has earned it, not as charity, but as a way to fuel more great content.

Go through your networks and help us bring in those top-voted guests! Have an amazing Sunday, and I'll talk with you all this week.

Best,
John Allen (@aijohnallen)
