how I'm using AI in my business 🤖
Hey Reader, I know I know it's been a bit since I've emailed. When I bought BestSelf back it was a team of one (me). Since early February to June I've grown the team to 7! This involved bringing back 2 old team members (customer service & designer) and hired 5 more people. Onboarding and training people is not even close to my favorite thing, but it's a necessary measure to be able to get out of the weeds. Tools like ChatGPT have been incredibly helpful for this. From helping with job...
inexperience debt 😣
Hey Reader, I know I dropped a bomb in my last email about buying BestSelf back and then seemingly disappeared. I've been working to stabilize the business and get things back on track so it's been a grind. I got a ton of interest on the inner circle idea and am trying to figure out the best way to do that. I was giving myself 60 days to focus on BestSelf before jumping on it — will be sharing a deep dive on the first 60 days shortly! Suffice to say things are looking up and I've already...
I bought a business 🤝
I bought a business! It closed officially last Friday and I got "handed the keys" an hour later. (By keys I mean 1Password vault access of course.) Btw I've found the process of buying and selling companies to be underwhelming. You build and grow something for years, then with a few clicks on Docusign and poof, it's gone. Compare this to when we did a house refinance a few years ago. We had to go to an office across town and spend an hour under fluorescent lighting signing paperwork with a...

🗓️ 2023 recap
Hey Reader 👋🏻, This year I learned that as a parent the new year really starts once daycare/school re-opens. For me that was this week 🎉 So I sat down and did my 2023 annual review! For the last 10 years I've been doing annual reviews and sharing them on my blog. I do these mostly for myself. I share publicly because I enjoy reading other peoples. I also think it'll be fun to look back on when I'm older. (When the robots take over they might enjoy reading too 😆) Read my 2023 Review (If you...
feeling like a fraud 💀
Hey Reader, Just two days ago, I was at a small mastermind event in Austin with Nathan Barry (founder of ConvertKit) to discuss the idea of becoming a Billion Dollar Creator. While the event was wonderful, but I left feeling like a total fraud.Everyone around me had their act together. Me? I felt like a boat with no motor, floating wherever the current took me. Sure, I can come up with a millions ideas for other people to do, but when it comes to my own stuff? I can't seem to pick a...
have you done this too? 👨🚀
Hey Reader, My friend Sam recently tweeted about the Overview Effect. Essentially it's a mental shift that happens when astronauts see the earth from space where they realize we're all floating on a rock in space. Suddenly big important life things don't feel so important. This reminded me of what I do when I'm drowning in problems or feeling overwhelmed. I watch space movies. Why? Because after watching one of these a few years back (during a stressful time) I left the theatre feeling...

how to create better stuff 🧢
Hey Reader 👋🏻, “An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion” — Newton's first law of motion 🍎 In my last email, I got a ton of positive responses on my 100-Day challenge idea so we’re going to make this a real thing.
