Let me tell you a little story…

A few months ago, I got a random text from my best friend.

“Are you really going to do it?”

I’m like, “Do what, man?” Totally caught off guard.

He hits me back: “Build a school.”

Now, either I’ve been sleepwalking through some big decisions lately... or someone’s putting words in my mouth.

Turns out—it was my email newsletter. But here's the kicker… I didn’t write it.

An AI trained to write like me did.

Yep. That email was so “me” that even my best friend couldn’t tell the difference. That is the kind of AI we’re talking about.

Everyone’s out here freaking out that AI is coming for their jobs, their content, their identity.

But here's what I say: Relax. AI isn’t your replacement—it’s your leverage.

Most people are using AI like a crutch. Copy, paste, done. No soul. No edge. No voice.

But what if you trained your AI to sound exactly like you? What if you used it to sharpen your voice, not drown it out?

I’ve been doing just that. We even built software for it. (More on that soon—stay tuned.)

AI won’t replace creators with something to say. It’ll expose the ones who don’t.

The future of content isn't about man vs. machine. It's about man with machine vs. man without one.

And let me tell you… if your content sounds like ChatGPT on auto-pilot, you’re toast.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be interesting.

Because the human brain is wired to ignore the familiar and obsess over the original.

Paint in lime green all you want—but if everyone else is doing it, it won’t pop.

If you want to stay relevant in a world where AI floods the feed, here’s the only question that matters:

How do I use AI to sound more like me, not less?

You ever wake up one day, look around, and think, “Crap. I built the wrong life”?

Yeah, that’s what happens when you chase goals that aren’t yours.

It’s like spending years climbing a ladder… only to find out it’s leaning against the wrong damn wall.

Too many of us are stuck on ladders built by other people—our parents, our schools, our bosses, even society itself. We’re told to get the degree, get the job, play it safe, and maybe—just maybe—we’ll get to live a little when we’re 65.

But here’s the kicker:

What if you get everything they told you to go after… and you still feel empty?

There’s no refund policy on wasted decades.

The truth is, most of the conventional advice out there is outdated, designed by people who never lived the kind of life you want. And yet, they’re the ones we’re supposed to trust with our dreams?

Hell no.

You’ve got to define your own version of success—and build a business, a career, a life that gets you there. Even if it pisses people off. Even if it goes against everything your college professor, your cousin, or your childhood dentist told you.

This is your movie. Don’t be an extra in someone else’s script.

Ask yourself: Is the ladder you’re climbing taking you somewhere you actually want to go?

Because if it’s not… time to build your own damn ladder.

If you’ve ever read a business book and thought, “This sounds like a textbook someone wrote to justify their MBA,” then Rework is the slap in the face you didn’t know you needed.

This book is a middle finger to the traditional “go big or go home” startup playbook. Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson—aka the rebels behind Basecamp—call out the nonsense we’ve all been sold: long hours, five-year plans, big investors, and the obsession with "hustle culture."

Instead, Rework says: Do less. Start sooner. Stay small. Be better.

It's packed with bite-sized, no-BS insights that will punch through your mental clutter like a triple espresso. You'll walk away with permission to ditch the corporate drama and build something simple, profitable, and uniquely yours, without sacrificing your sanity.

It’s not a book. It’s a revolt. And it belongs on your shelf if you're serious about breaking free from the 9-to-5 zombie apocalypse.

If you're still playing by the old rules, Rework will make you want to burn the rulebook.

I make you money while you sleep,

But only if your funnel's deep.

From lead to list, I move with flair—

Yet I exist in digital air. 

What am I?
