I was listening to a podcast from Gary V recently and they were talking about how AI can replace all these jobs and the automated processes that we can all do now. But then they discussed how AI is only as good as what’s being fed to it. So without the human interaction, and us coaxing it along, and pushing it to do more, it will only ever be so good. So instead of fearing AI, we need to start embracing it as a partner in achieving more…

I've spent hundreds of hours using AI as a thought partner. But one of the biggest lessons I've learned didn't come from AI. It came from watching people—including myself. We work hard. We reach a goal. And almost immediately we move the finish line. "I'll celebrate when..." "I'll be happy after..." "Just one more..." AI can help us think more clearly. But it can't remind us to pause and recognize how far we've already come. That's why I wrote You Earned It. Sometimes the next breakthrough isn't setting a bigger goal. It's finally giving yourself credit for achieving the last one. Question: What's one accomplishment you've never really stopped to celebrate? 🧡

I used to think AI was mostly for saving time. Write this faster. Summarize that. Make this sound better. And yes, it can do all of that. But the bigger shift for me has been using AI as a thought partner. Not to give me the answer. To ask better questions. Questions like: What am I actually trying to create here? What am I avoiding because it feels too big? What would the next obvious step be if I stopped overcomplicating this? What would I do today if I already trusted myself? That changed the way I think about goals, decisions, visibility, writing, community building, and even the second half of life. AI didn’t replace my intuition. It helped me hear it more clearly. That’s the part I think more people are missing. The magic isn’t just better output. It’s better input. Better questions. Better clarity. Better action. And for me, that has made a whole lot more feel figureoutable.

What day of the week would you want to attend a live workshop with Igor & Dean to learn next level AI tactics & strategies?

I've spent the last few weeks writing my next book. What surprised me is that the book isn't really about money. It's about permission. Permission to: ✈️ Take the trip. 💰 Spend some of the money you've spent decades saving. 📚 Learn something new. 🚪 Walk through the door you've been staring at for years. ⏰ Stop waiting for the perfect time. 🌅 Design your life instead of drifting through it. Ironically, AI has played a role in that realization. Not because it gave me the answers. But because it helped me think. It helped me challenge assumptions. It helped me see patterns. It helped me realize that many of the things I was waiting for permission to do... didn't require anyone else's permission at all. Sometimes the most valuable thing a thought partner can do isn't tell you what to do. It's help you realize you already know. What's something you've been waiting for permission to do?
