Week 2 - MBA 6601 - Side Hustle Mixed with AI?

 I'm running a little behind with the posts for week 2, which honestly matched really well with the article posted earlier. Steve Jobs, an entrepreneur, business man and apparently a side hustler? In an interview done by INC. Steve Jobs stated "Without owning something -- over an extended period of time...without the experience of actually doing it, you never get three-dimensional." (Haden, 2023). Its later explaining that the third dimension is creating a well rounded, prepared, and successful person. As of lately, between working part time and full time jobs, I am also a real estate investor managing my rental properties. This takes up a little bit of time, but when buying another house there is a lot of paperwork, research, and time needed.

Since owning and buying new houses I have learned a lot about what to look for in a house. In addition this exposed me to contracting and negotiating with contractors for construction. Part of this construction comes with designing and discovering new trends happening in the housing decor field. I was also proud to say I installed a door and new door knobs by my self. Which if you know me I can be a very unhandy man. So completing this is huge for me. (I also included a picture of the new bathroom I just finished remodeling, such an improvement). With out having this side hustle my exposure to this market would not have happened. 



Now a stretch, and the little research I have done with this, AI could help me preform some of this research and designing to expand my portfolio. AI has so many different advances, and I have had some run ins with AI. Zillow currently uses AI to send alerts to your email with potential houses that are "for you". This is because I have an account with them, which I gave very basic information like email, phone, and address. With this information and prior search history they send me daily updates with houses that come on the market in the area. The houses it sends to me is usually pretty accurate with what I am looking for. This can go further with AI completing the calculations and negotiations with realtors allowing for me to do less to prepare. Then all I have to do is sign a check or get a loan.

Week 1 - MBA 6601 - Introduction

 Hello!!                My name is Joshua Scaletta, I am a current flight paramedic in the Greater Pittsburgh, PA Area. AI (Artificial Intelligence) has a large role in my current role and I think that it is the future of not only medicine but all career fields in the United States. Not to get all nerdy and talk medicine in this post since its meant to be about AI. Currently on the helicopter we use different tools and equipment to treat our patients. Currently the ventilator uses AI to better adjust the settings and rates for the patient per very little input from the providers, ie. humans. This type of ventilation is very new but effective at treating the patient and allowing my concentration on other things like medications, fluids, reports, and other aspects of patient care.                 I'm excited to be taking this course to learn more about AI and grow both as a provider and possibly one day as a manager with the aid of AI. As I mentioned AI has a current place in medicin

Week 4 - MBA 6601 -Is Social Media Teaching AI

 In this recent generation becoming a professional YouTuber is a possible career that one can aspire to be. No only was you tube not a thing just a few years ago, but making a successful career while recording videos and uploading them to a free site would probably sound crazy in the 80/90's. YouTube is only the beginning. With the advancement of other video platforms like Twitch or TikTok, YouTube created the way for careers in these fields. This living could also be a very lavish on with large YouTubes like Logan Paul or Charlie Demilllio.  Though many might have not used AI to gain their fame it might prove beneficial to them one day to incorporate AI. AI can be a major time saver for many people and if implemented correctly. This can be done by helping with many different things like social captions, images, blogs and emails. A major one that could be forgotten about is AI's ability to find and create partners, manage content, provide analytics and automate payments (Impact
