Act Before the Courage Fails

When you ask Google Lyria to create a song, you obviously can’t describe the song completely. So Lyria fills in the gaps—“hallucinates,” if you will.

For example, I wanted to create a successor to the song I code-named “Roanoke.” The short biometric product marketing expert song I used in the post “Move Along Now.”

Google Gemini.

But I wanted two differences in the successor: the song had to be full-length (up to 3 minutes) rather than only 30 seconds, and the song had to be set in Britain rather than Virginia.

So I used this prompt:

“Create a song by a male British folk singer who urges product marketing leaders at identity and biometric firms (finger, face, iris, voice, DNA) to stop procrastinating on their analysis, marketing content, or proposals. Product marketers should ‘ask, then act.’ But when product marketers act, they shouldn’t go to the extreme of breaking things. Ask, then act.”

So Lyria created this anti-procrastination song.

“Ask the Root, Act the Grain.” Google Lyria. Public Domain.

And in the chorus, Lyria hallucinated this line.

“Ask the wind before the sails, act before the courage fails.”

And that phrase “act before the courage fails” was more powerful than everything else.

Google Gemini.

I’ve encountered many reluctant marketers, afraid to take that final step and “go live” with something.

Or worse still, afraid to take the first step to even communicate something.

I’m trying to stop being that fearful product marketer and instead follow the advice of the Ohio folk singers who urged us to “go forward, move ahead.”

It’s not too late.

Is your identity or biometric company ready to act before YOUR courage fails?

Don’t tell anyone I said this, but LinkedIn dot com slash in slash jbredehoft.

Tech is Hard. Business is Harder.

Technically this isn’t a Bredemarket video—I developed it for a post on my personal LinkedIn profile—but my consultancy Bredemarket operates with the same understanding.

Experienced senior product marketer.

As I assert in this video, managing identity / biometric / technology complexity requires a product marketer who speaks both technology and business languages.

Yes, the audio track is generated via Google Lyria. And frankly, about half the text here is from Google Gemini. But the 30+ years of experience (whoops, wasn’t supposed to say that!) behind everything is 100% human.
