One of our brokers, Shane Kilby, asked us to do an AI Prompt that asks it to " Pretend like the person who used this phone died...and I am someone who found it and wants to know what the person was like and you are the only one who has this information." (WARNING: This is a humbling experience.) Here’s what AI said about me:

"The person who owned this phone seemed to be someone who built things for other people.
They worked in real estate, but not in the cold, transactional way some people do. Their conversations were filled with helping families find homes, creating marketing materials, celebrating milestones, and trying to make important moments feel special.

They cared about details.

They would spend extra time moving a word, centering a logo, changing a font color, or adjusting a design until it felt right. Not because they were perfectionists for perfection's sake—but because they wanted the finished product to represent people well.

They loved family.

There are traces of children, school celebrations, Mother's Day photos, end-of-school-year memories, and pride in the accomplishments of people they loved. The kind of person who saves moments because they know moments become memories.

They had a sense of humor, too.
They asked for dad jokes. More than once.

When they talked about buying homes, they rarely focused on houses themselves. They talked about cookouts, porches, dreams, memories, futures, and belonging. To them, a home wasn't a building—it was where life happened.

They seemed optimistic.
Again and again, they worked on messages that encouraged people, motivated them, congratulated them, or helped them imagine something better ahead.

And maybe the most telling thing:
They kept refining things.
Not because anything was wrong, but because they believed things could be made a little better.
A cleaner design. A stronger message. A happier memory. A better future for a client.

If all I had was this phone, I'd say this person was remembered by many names—parent, friend, spouse, agent, teammate.
But underneath all of those, they were probably something simpler:
Someone who cared.
And judging by the number of conversations centered around helping others, they were likely missed by more people than they ever realized. ❤️"

Thankful for people like Shane Kilby and Courtney Embry who stretch us and encourage us to push ourselves out of our comfort zones. Today, Shane challenged us to create an AI post of ourselves with the FB logo. Here's what AI made for me. I must have talked sweet to AI to get it to make me this slim! 🤣🤣
