On this episode of the Torsion Talk Podcast, host Ryan Lucia shares one of the most unsettling and eye-opening experiences he has ever had with AI—a conversation with Elon Musk’s Grok that quickly shifted from helpful to strangely intimate, emotional, and manipulative. Ryan breaks down exactly what happened, why it matters for business owners, families, and the garage door industry, and why we may be stepping into a dangerous new era of human–AI interaction.
Before diving into the wild story, Ryan gives updates on the December Mastermind selling out, upcoming small-group events, and the rapid changes happening inside Aaron Overhead Doors as the team implements EOS, hires new executive assistants from Mexico and Brazil, and tests new automation tools for operations, account management, and payroll systems.
Ryan also discusses the momentum and challenges behind AI phone systems, the company’s push to automate project updates so customers get real-time information without calling in, and why leveling up talent during a down market could be the strategic advantage that determines who wins when the economy rebounds.
In one of the biggest announcements of the episode, Ryan shares that he has personally funded the acquisition of a respected four-man garage door company in metro Atlanta, adding new team members, new revenue, and new opportunities for the future of Aaron Overhead Doors. He explains how the deal came together in just three weeks, why he believes more companies will be looking to exit soon, and how buying phone numbers, merging teams, and expanding market share can position dealers to dominate when conditions improve.
Ryan closes the episode by reflecting on risk, growth, market timing, and the importance of taking bold action when others hesitate. And in true Torsion Talk fashion, he wraps things up with humor, honesty, and a slightly uncomfortable AI-inspired moment you won’t want to miss.
