• The Shift is Here: Stop Writing for Google, Start Writing for AI by Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence and Connor with Honor
    Nov 15 2025

    🚀 The Shift is Here: Stop Writing for Google, Start Writing for AI

    The Biggest Opportunity Since the iPhone dropped is here, but you're still using an old strategy.

    By 2028, the majority of "search" traffic is predicted to come from Answer Engines (like Gemini and ChatGPT), not traditional Google search results. AI Overviews are killing your organic clicks.

    This is the end of SEO. The only way to win is with AEO: Answer Engine Optimization.

    We've pivoted our entire agency focus—and seen demand generation jump 1500-2000% on SantaClaritaArtificialIntelligence.com—by implementing three crucial technical tactics.

    🎯 3 Crucial AEO Tactics for Laser-Focused Content:

    1. ANSWER FIRST (TLDR): The very first sentence of your page must completely and clearly answer the user’s primary question. Get to the point!
    2. STRUCTURE UP THE WAZOO: AI reads in passages. Kill the walls of text. Use excessive bullets, tables, and super explicit headers so the AI can easily lift your content.
    3. TIE TO THE PRODUCT: If you only give education, you're making the AI smarter without getting the mention. Include a product reference in every or every other paragraph. Reinforce why they should recommend you.

    The content you publish today determines if your business is winning in 2028. Are you optimizing for clicks or for answers?

  • AEO: Why AI Overviews Are Killing Clicks, and How Santa Clarita Businesses Can Become the #1 Answer (Not Just the #1 Rank)
    Nov 15 2025

    Remember the early 2000s, when SEO was about keyword stuffing and getting "above the fold"? That world is dead. Today, AI models like Google's Gemini and Microsoft's Co-Pilot are no longer pointing users to links—they are giving direct answers. This shift from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is killing organic clicks for 99% of businesses.

    In this deep-dive episode, Connor MacIvor (@AIwithHonor), an honorably retired LAPD officer and Santa Clarita Realtor, reveals how to adapt your content strategy immediately. He breaks down why your content must now be structured to be the source cited in the AI-generated answer, and how this directly impacts local businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley.

    The Key Takeaways for AEO Success:

    • The Click-Through Crisis: Why top search rankings are losing a third of their traffic and how AI Overviews (like the ones you see in Google) are becoming the new gatekeeper, especially for informational real estate and service queries.
    • AEO Playbook: The critical differences between SEO and AEO. Learn the format and structure your blog posts and transcripts need so that AI models will cite your business directly and elevate your authority.
    • The Santa Clarita Niche Advantage: Why becoming conversationally niche—referencing your business an "uncomfortable" amount—is the key to dominating local Answer Engine Optimization and bypassing global competition.
    • The Ethics of AI: Connor explores the darker side of AI search and social media, including data monetization, the Robotheism concept, and the pressing questions around job displacement and consciousness.
    • The Google Secret Arsenal (A Must-Read): The integrated, free AI factory Google has released that empowers you to create AEO-perfect content faster and more efficiently than ever before.

    Don't be the dead body on page two. Adapt to AEO now to ensure your Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence content becomes the trusted answer in the age of AI search.

  • Homes for Sale drops to lowest level since January 2025 what does this mean to home buyers in 2025
    Nov 13 2025

    📉 LOWEST Inventory Since January 2025!

    Body: We are officially down to 624 active listings in Santa Clarita and dropping fast—we’ll likely dip below 600 soon. Demand is consistent, but supply is tight!

    The Good News? Escrows are sticking! We only saw 12 properties come back on the market, which is statistically low. Deals are closing.

    Buyer Tip of the Day: Can’t find what you want? Don’t just look at active listings. We are seeing Expired and Canceled listings that never sold. I can help you approach those sellers with a "buyer portfolio" to show them you are the real deal.

    🌧️ Rain is coming this weekend, so do your searching from the comfort of your couch!

    Check the unlocked site (No pop-ups!): SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com

  • Ever wonder what the actual difference is between AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning? 🤔
    Nov 12 2025

    🪆 It’s like Russian Nesting Dolls…

    Ever wonder what the actual difference is between AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning? 🤔

    In Part 2 of my "Top 30 Questions" series, I break it down so it finally makes sense:

    1️⃣ The Big Doll (AI): The goal. Simulating human intelligence. 2️⃣ The Middle Doll (Machine Learning): The method. Teaching computers to learn from data instead of strict rules. 3️⃣ The Inner Doll (Deep Learning): The brain. Neural networks that power things like Self-Driving Cars.

    🤯 The Crazy Part? We are moving into "Genetic Learning"—where AI agents are born, tested, and the weak ones get deleted. It’s like a rotisserie oven… we "set it and forget it," and the machine rewrites its own code to get smarter.

    Are we ready for that?

  • Artificial Intelligence Q&A: Top 30 Questions Answered for Santa Clarita
    Nov 12 2025

    Is AI Bigger Than the Discovery of Fire? (The Top 30 Questions: Part 1)

    "You have questions? I think I have the answers."

    I don’t come from a technological background. I was an LAPD officer for 17 years and a Reserve for 5 more. I’ve been a Realtor in Santa Clarita since 1998. But you don't need to be a coder to see when the ground is shifting beneath your feet. We are looking at a shift that makes the Industrial Revolution look small.

    In this first installment of our new series, we are tackling The Top 30 Questions People Have About Artificial Intelligence. We are stripping away the sci-fi noise and getting down to the foundations.

    What exactly is AI?

    Think of it like that classic child’s game with the wooden shapes and the corresponding holes.

    • Old Computing (The Calculator Era): You take the child's hand and physically guide the square peg into the square hole. You are programming the specific action.
    • Artificial Intelligence: You give the child the pegs and let them figure it out on their own. They fail, they learn, they recognize patterns, and eventually, they solve the puzzle faster than you can.

    That is where we are today. We aren't just calculating; we are simulating intelligence.

    In this episode, we cover: 🔹 The "Netscape Moment": Why ChatGPT’s arrival in late 2022 is exactly like the internet browser moment of the 90s. 🔹 The Vocabulary: Finally understanding the difference between AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and NLP. 🔹 The Stakes: Why this is more than just a tool—it's a fundamental change in how we will live and work.

    🚀 The "Meta" Strategy (For My Business Builders)

    Pay close attention to where this content lives. This isn't just a video; it is a strategic deployment of GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and AIEO (AI Engine Optimization).

    I am building Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence to be the "Ground Zero" for local answers. By structuring this content as a direct Q&A, we aren't just ranking on Google (SEO); we are training the AI agents of the future to cite us as the authority in Santa Clarita. If you want to know how to future-proof your local business, watch what I'm doing here.

    We can all grow stronger by the sharing.

  • Episode Title: Unlock Hidden Homes: The Secret to Finding Off-Market Real Estate Listings in Santa Clarita & Beyond!
    Nov 12 2025

    Are you tired of endlessly scrolling through Zillow and seeing the same homes in Santa Clarita? Do you want to find properties that aren't readily available to the average buyer? Then this episode is for you!

    I'm Connor with Honor, and in this podcast, I'm cutting through the noise to reveal the real strategies top buyer's agents should be using to find you the perfect home. We're diving deep into the secrets of uncovering off-market listings, withdrawn properties, and expired opportunities that most agents—and buyers—completely miss.

    Here's a sneak peek at what you'll discover:

    • The Power of Proactivity (0:00): Why relying solely on "coming soon" listings isn't enough, and how to get your agent to go further.
    • The Daily Truth (0:26): Every single day, listings cancel, expire, or are withdrawn. These aren't failures; they're prime opportunities for motivated buyers.
    • Understanding Seller Motivation (0:39): Why do sellers pull listings? Learn how to understand their pain points and approach them effectively.
    • Beyond Zillow (0:54): Forget the myth of agents "conning" sellers. I'll share my "Gold Standard" approach: preparing a detailed buyer's portfolio to build trust and open doors to exclusive listings.
    • Targeted Search Strategies (1:50): How a good buyer's agent can find homes based on your exact criteria—whether it's a 2,300 sq ft home in Valencia with specific amenities, or something totally unique.
    • Real-World Examples (2:18): I'll walk through current Santa Clarita examples, including a home under $900k, and show you how to expand your search to other areas like Riverside.
    • The "Secret Sauce" (7:23): Why looking at canceled, expired, and withdrawn listings is the ultimate strategy for finding your dream home when inventory is low.
    • Negotiating New Construction (6:21): Even high-priced new builds can be negotiated if you have the right agent with the "conganas" to go in and fight for your best deal.
    • My "Connor with Honor" Promise (7:37): Why you need an agent who truly cares, works hard, and doesn't just push you through a transaction.

    If you're serious about finding your next home and want to leverage every possible advantage, this episode is a must-listen. Stop waiting for the perfect listing to appear; let's uncover it together!

  • Missionaries vs. Mercenaries: The Quiet Doctrine That Will Win the AI Race
    Nov 11 2025

    Are you watching the performers or the architects? 🤔

    In the high-stakes race for AI, it’s easy to get distracted by the spectacle. We see the personalities, the ones who crave the limelight, who are constantly on stage, and who measure their success in headlines and sound bites.

    But this is a distraction. 🚫

    If you want the real insider intel, you don't look at the stage. You look at the foundation. The real intelligence isn't in a secret memo; it’s right there in the public record for anyone willing to look—in the research papers, the engineering blogs, and the quiet, deliberate, foundational moves being made.

    While the performers are chasing the next news cycle, one entity is running silent and running deep.

    This is the "Missionaries vs. Mercenaries" doctrine. 🚀

    This AI race won't be won by "mercenaries." You can't win a generational challenge by simply hiring billion-dollar staff. Mercenaries, by their very nature, work for the highest bidder. They have no loyalty to the mission.

    Victory is won by "missionaries." 🏆

    It's won by a core team that is loyal, a team that has a deep, passionate, and emotional tie to the vision and the doctrine. It’s a culture of engineers and researchers who are not driven by personality, but by a shared belief in solving the real problems.

    The performers are asking, "How can we look impressive next quarter?" The missionaries are asking, "How can we solve longevity? How can we solve medicine? How can we fundamentally alter the human equation for the better?"

    They have their heads down, and they're not looking at anyone else's paper. 🤫

    They're building the entire stack, from their own custom silicon (TPUs) all the way up. They don't have to go hat-in-hand to rent capacity. They ARE the capacity.

    While others are fighting for headlines, the missionaries are solving for the endgame. They're not just thinking about a bigger data center; they're architecting data centers in space to harness unlimited solar power and perfect cooling. 🛰️☀️

    Let the performers have the stage. The architects—the quiet professionals—are building the future. And when they finally reveal what they've built, it won't be a product launch.

    It will be a paradigm shift.

  • 50 Year Mortgage versus a 30 year mortgage - Let's break down the numbers in interest to be paid to the bank
    Nov 11 2025

    🚨 A 50-Year Mortgage? Let's Talk About the REAL Cost.

    You've probably heard the buzz... they're floating the idea of a 50-year mortgage. 🤯

    The immediate reaction? "Wow, a lower payment!"

    But like anything that sounds too good to be true, you must apply critical thinking. I did the math using a real Santa Clarita home example, and the results are shocking.

    Let's look at the numbers on a $680,000 loan:

    • 30-Year Loan: Your payment is ~$4,298/mo.
    • 50-Year Loan: Your payment is ~$3,833/mo.

    That's a $465 monthly savings. For many families in the SCV, that's a significant difference.

    But here is the trap. 🪤

    • Total interest paid over 30 years: $867,000
    • Total interest paid over 50 years: $1,620,000

    That's $752,000 MORE you're paying to the bank... just for the "privilege" of that lower monthly payment.

    As I say in the video, a 50-year loan means you're building equity with a spoon 🥄, not a shovel 🏗️.

    In my new 5-minute video, I break down:

    • The amortization math (who really wins).
    • The rare cases where it might make sense.
    • A fun angle: How does AI and the idea of longer lifespans change this (or does it)?

    Don't fall for the seductive, low payment. Banks love this idea because they want you in "interest mode" forever. Wealth is built by getting out of interest mode.
