I’ve got exciting news for those of you who have an Amazon Echo, Dot or any of those other Amazon gadgets!
I’ve launched Primal Potential Daily Bites as a new Alexa skill! You can hear a new Daily Bite every day!
You might be wondering, “what is an Alexa skill?” I certainly only recently found out myself!
Alexa is Amazon’s version of Apple’s Siri. She’s a digital assistant and Amazon is doing some really cool things with what they call “skills”.
A skill is kind of like an app on your phone or tablet.
One of my favorite ways to take advantage of Alexa skills is by building a “daily briefing”. I have subscribed to a couple skills and each morning I say to Alexa, “Alexa, play my daily briefing” and she plays a short message for me from Primal Potential Daily Bites, Motley Fool Stock Watch, Gary Vee 365 and the weather.
What is Primal Potential Daily Bites?
I answer hundreds of emails every week on everything from motivation, consistency, nutrition for fat loss, cravings, temptation, mindset and everything in between.
Unfortunately, those exchanges happen on a 1:1 level. One person asks a question and my response goes back to that one person.
I know that most of us could be inspired or informed by some of those messages and so I’ll be sharing some short responses on the daily bite! Don’t worry though, I won’t share any personally identifying information from anyone who emails me. I’ll edit my answers to remove any personal references.
We all need moments of encouragement & motivation throughout the day and Primal Potential Daily Bites will give your boost when you need it!
Rest assured: Primal Potential Daily Bites does NOT replace the Primal Potential podcast! This is simply another free tool added to the mix to help you focus & crush your goals.
All you have to do is subscribe to Primal Potential Daily Bites and then, each day, say “Alexa, play my flash briefing!”. Here’s how you do that:
To subscribe to the Primal Potential Daily Bites skill, follow these steps within your Alexa app (download the Alexa app from the app store if you haven’t already).
Hit the icon that looks like 3 horizontal lines in the upper left corner of your phone screen.
Select “Skills” from the menu that pops up.
Type “Primal Potential” in the search box.
Finally, you’ll want to hit “Enable skill” when Primal Potential Daily Bites pops up.
From there, you’re good to go! When you say, “Alexa, play my daily briefing!” you’ll hear the Daily Bite for that day!
Here’s what’s currently part of my daily flash briefing:
I just got my Echo recently (because I couldn’t have an Alexa skill and not have one) so I’m still building my daily briefing and if I add anything awesome, I’ll surely let you know!
This feature is coming soon to Google Home so keep checking there! It’s in progress.
When my parents bought me and Echo for Christmas, I thought it was a nice gift, but wasnt sure how much I would use it. But I am pleasantly surprised how much I do use it for music and making lists…re playing 20 questions 🙂
I am so happy that I have it and that you started a daily flash! I loved when you did the daily motivations and I always listened to it before getting out of bed in the morning. I was kinda bummed when you quit doing them.
But the daily briefs are so much better! I love being able to walk around the house and get ready in the morning while listening to you…get my daily dose of EB first thing in the morning!
Ive been a follower for years and I will continue to do so! Thank you for all that you do…its truly needed and inspirational!
Thanks so much, Angie! I’m really glad you’re enjoying it! 🙂
Hi –
I followed these instructions but when I search “primal potential” I get 0 results. Can you help?
Thanks,
Tricia
Hi Tricia!
While this remains active for subscribers, it’s temp unavailable for new subscribers because it’s being updated to meet new Amazon criteria. Please try back in another 10 days or so. 🙂
Thanks for letting me know!
The updates have been approved! It should be available either now or within the next 12 hours. Thanks for your patience!
The last 3 times Ive asked Alexa for my flash briefing it said daily bites has 0 results. Do I need to update my skills somehow, do you know? It was working just fine when I first tried it.
Hi Kristen! Nope, these just aren’t presently available. There was a glitch and somehow Alexa got hold of files I know I never uploaded and I’m not comfortable continuing with that free service until I understand what happened and how – it’s a decision to protect the privacy of my clients and listeners.
