Angie: How Perry Makes Epic Slides with Notebook LM
Perry Belcher was en route to Nashville’s Driven Mastermind, so Angie took the spotlight—unpacking the slide-building magic behind his viral AI Bot Summit presentation.
This highly requested breakdown walked us through how Notebook LM became the go-to tool for assembling futuristic, animated decks. She emphasized uploading curated content (transcripts, GPT exports, docs), setting precise infographic instructions (themes, styles, orientations), and saving favorite prompts in Google Docs to evolve designs over time.
Angie teased a deeper dive Wednesday with SOPs and animation walkthroughs.
Her challenge to the group: Bring your own infographic to AI Party Tricks to showcase what you’ve built!

Brian Neff: 150K Followers, 111M Views—The Florida Keys Growth Blueprint
On his birthday week, Brian Neff dropped stats and storytelling gold. With 150,000 followers and 111M views in 2025, Brian’s content about the Florida Keys proved that emotion-driven posts outperform hard sells. He reframed the business model from “book a resort” to “feel what it’s like to breathe again.”
He shared insights on housing issues, audience demographics (60% female, mostly 35–54), and his viral hits (roosters, Jimmy Buffett’s studio, rain on Duval Street).
He also credited Angie for helping him turn transcripts into visual content with Notebook LM. His daughter’s Key West Bars page is already surpassing his—proving his system works.

Angie: Animating Epic Slides from the Nashville Construction Zone
Broadcasting from a tiny laptop at the Gaylord hotel (while construction roared outside), Angie delivered a deep dive into infographic animation. She walked through her go-to tools: Kling AI, Runway (real video animations), and Google Veo.
Angie demoed how to start in Notebook LM, export static slides, and animate them using tools that add motion to people, water, or vehicles.
She shared examples like Perry blinking in a cruise hot tub or a party bus rolling down a trail. Members participated in a live show-and-tell, showcasing infographics they’d built using different prompt variations.
The magic, Angie reminded us, is in crafting precise instructions and saving them for future reuse.

Mark Shilensky: AI + 3D Printing — From Digital to Physical
Mark shared how anyone can use AI and a $300 3D printer to create physical products—no CAD skills required. From antique car parts to mall kiosk dragons, he covered massive market potential and monetization.
The process? Prompt → Generate STL → Slice → Print.
He showcased 3 main entry points:
- Text-to-Model (prompt-based)
- Image-to-3D (upload photo)
- Templates from MakerWorld/Thingiverse
Personalized products command 2–3x markup, and with Etsy and farmer's market examples, Mark opened our eyes to the new frontier of AI-powered physical goods.
His message: this is no longer just for engineers—everyone can play.
