I've said it before and I'll say it again. Growing up in the 90s and going to college in the 2000s was peak livin' . We had cell phones and the internet but not social media. I'd guess though that at SEC/Big10 schools these parties are still going down every weekend

The number reason I still love making YouTube videos is that I know my kids will be able to go back and watch Dad do cool stuff as they get older. Really goes for all my content, but the video aspect of YouTube especially will always be the winner.

This looks really cool - AI sprawl already becoming a challenge! . I use several models and services and it would be great to bring them together in one place. This is also a struggle of Notion AI - I don’t use it as much because it’s silo’d and can’t talk to other models.

AI Sprawl is the silent productivity killer. Here's the story of how one engineer built the antidote. We were flipping through ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, copying and pasting context as well as uploading files from our ClickUp and other apps. Then I had a flashback to

Asked for feedback on how people feel about daily emails, cool to see this 😍. fwiw - after an early period of unsubscribes it has leveled off. Total weekly unsubs about the same as when I only sent a weekly email. Mostly anecdotal takeaway - people are liking daily emails!

Looked at the Ad Libraries for 5 Minute Journal, Full Focus Planner, and Bullet Journal. I noticed that all the ads are under 30 seconds with more clips of the journal in use, none with a person talking like I was. Will run the next experiment with that type of creative.

Ran my first Meta ad for a $9 planner product. Spent $100 and sold 8 for $72 in revenue, so a "loss" of $28. But. Just need 1/8 to upgrade to the video training to break even on the first $100. And even if I spend another $100 for another 8 buyers, need 1/16 to buy the

If you're looking for a simple, straightforward, effective way to plan your weeks with a focus on big goals, it's the best I've found. The launch officially starts Monday, but if you want to take an early look and get a free lesson, just comment GAP and I'll DM you.

This is also a credit to the planning system I've been using the past 5 years to define, protect, and take action on my goals. It's called the GAP Method and it helps me stay disciplined without being overwhelmed, just with pen and paper.

Since I've standardized my launches (and my client launches), everything is ready to go by the time emails are being scheduled. So even a "mistake" like this still turns into a good story and immediate revenue.

I accidentally launched 5 days early 🤦 .Thought I was scheduling an email for Monday. but it went out immediately 😱 . But I was so prepared that people were able to start buying 🤑 . In the past, launching 5 days early meant I still had about 5 days of work left to do 😅

Realizing that women must buy the majority of planners because all the ad sets I see are targeted to women. But many of the most productive men I see do have some type of planner. Too small a sample size for a business, or untapped potential?
