In today's issue:

Ever walk into a market and think, “Holy crap, there are already a thousand people selling this—how the hell am I supposed to make a dime here?”

That voice in your head? That’s Amateur Hour talking. And it’s dead wrong.

Let me set the record straight. When a niche looks “too competitive,” that’s not a red flag—it’s a neon sign flashing: “There’s MONEY here. Come get yours.”

Think about it. Nobody floods a broke-ass market. You don’t see 300 YouTubers fighting to sell cassette tapes, do you? But you do see them trip over each other for niches like crypto, fitness, stock trading, and making money online.

Saturation doesn’t mean it’s game over.
It means the game’s too good to sit out.

Evergreen niches—weight loss, beauty, investing—never die. Why? Because human desire doesn’t evolve that fast. People always want to be richer, hotter, and smarter than their neighbors.

Now here's the twist most newbies miss:
You don’t need a brand-new product. You need a new angle.

Let me give it to you straight. When I run an affiliate campaign and the default angle sucks harder than a vacuum on steroids, I don’t cry about it. I rework it. I take that weak sauce and turn it into marketing fire by doing one thing pros do best:
I find the tipping point.

Snapchat blew up not because it was better than Messenger, but because the messages disappeared. TikTok didn’t reinvent video—it just made them shorter.

One twist. One angle. One edge. That’s all it takes to stand out in a “saturated” market.

So if you’ve been avoiding crowded niches because they “look too busy,” you’re playing the wrong game. Stop looking for blue oceans. Sometimes the real treasure is buried in the bloodbath.

Want to win in a crowded space? Find your twist—and hammer it till the cash starts falling.

There’s a window in every online entrepreneur’s life where they ask:

“Why the hell am I working so hard… and still not making real money?”

I hit that wall years ago. Then I built something that flipped the script.

I wrote this short book to show you exactly what I did — the system I still use today to turn emails into income, without chasing trends or dancing for clicks.

And yeah — it costs less than gas to get to work.

But don’t let the price fool you.

This isn’t a book you buy. It’s a fork in the road.

Look, I know this sounds harsh… but being yourself in business might be the worst advice you’ve ever heard.

That whole “just be authentic and the money will follow” fluff?
Yeah… let me know how that works out while you’re crying over your Stripe dashboard.

Here’s the real deal:
If you want to build deep trust and sell like a machine, you don’t need to “be yourself.” You need to become who they want to hear from.

Let’s talk persona.

Every top performer—comedian, marketer, or media mogul—uses a carefully crafted persona.
Bill Burr isn’t angry 24/7. Seinfeld doesn’t actually care about socks being lost in the dryer.
But they play those roles because it makes their message stick.
Because it connects.
Because it converts.

And you know what?
Marketing works the same damn way.

When your persona is dialed in to your market's dreams, fears, frustrations, and secret fantasies… You don’t run out of content—you become a freaking fountain of it.

You get clarity. Direction. A voice.
Suddenly, email writing feels like a rant you’ve been dying to get off your chest.
Posting on social media feels more like preaching to your choir.
Your readers? They lean in. They binge. They buy.

Here’s the mindset shift that will change your game:
Your “real self” is not the point.
The persona you construct for the market is.

And here’s the kicker: one message + different persona = new customer base.
Same offer, different messenger… and you win over hearts (and wallets) you never could before.

Sounds manipulative? Get over it.
People don’t buy based on logic—they buy based on vibe.

So stop waiting for people to “get you.”
Start becoming the version of you they can’t ignore.

In this episode, I’m joined by Keala Kanae, former full-stack marketer behind a $20M/year biz opp empire, who walked away from it all after realizing something wild: His most successful students weren’t just doing the tactics…They were doing the inner work. 

We dig into: Why do your goals keep losing to your values? The real reason discipline fails you and how to unlock insane clarity, drive, and follow-through without hustle or hype? 

I also share a personal story about back pain, football, and how aligning with your values makes hard things effortless. This episode hits deep, hit play, and unlock your Power Code.

Ever wonder why some straight-A students end up broke…
…while average Joes build empires?

Yeah. Me too.

That’s what Angela Duckworth tackles in Grit.
And let me tell you—this book will slap the entitlement right out of you.

Spoiler alert: Talent ain’t everything.
The real winners? The ones who can get punched in the face by life—over and over—and keep swinging.

Duckworth breaks it down like this:
Success isn’t about IQ. Or luck. Or even timing.
It’s about obsession + resilience. Long-term passion mixed with relentless drive.
A deadly combo.

Sound familiar?
That’s basically the blueprint for making six figures online.
You gotta want it more than the next guy—and be willing to eat more dirt to get it.

So if you’re tired of “inspiration porn” and want real talk about what it takes to succeed?
This book’s your wake-up call.

Read it. Highlight the crap out of it. Then get back to the grind.

You won’t find me on a map,

Yet I define where ads can zap.

Step in my zone, and you’re on my list—

Perfectly timed, too hard to resist.

What am I?
