Hey Gary! Loved your recent video with Zeno Mercer which led me to ask this question. I’m curious about your take on leveraging AI to reach that $1-2M goal. For those of us who aren't experts in technical analysis, AI has become a massive equalizer for analyzing market sentiment and running portfolio forecast simulations. I recently followed an OpenClaw experiment where they ran multiple AI agents in a competition—giving each $1,000 to see which autonomous strategy outperformed. While it’s a game-changer for day traders, I see a huge edge for long-term FIRE investors using it to remove emotion and stress-test the sustainability of high-yield distributions. Have you experimented with AI agents to backtest your pillars, and do you think leveraging AI for analysis and total-return comparisons is becoming a 'must-have' tool for the community?

Hi Gary, I’m really gaining a lot from the 1M Club—the income strategy has been a total game-changer for my journey toward financial independence! I’m reaching out because my schedule keeps me away from the live streams on Fridays. Would you consider opening a 'Question Thread' a day or two before the live session? It would be great to have our questions addressed even if we have to catch the replay later. Thanks for all you do

If you've been enjoying the $1M Club, please feel free to leave a review or recommendation below! I will be using all reviews/recommendations to help promote this community and build it faster! Thanks! Let's get this group to 1,000 members in 2026!

I bought DUOL, CSU, KKR, ISBG, QDAY, HHIS and of course a bit more MSTE:) See attached screenshots

I’ve made a final decision: I will not be holding any traditional index ETFs this year. If it’s not a Covered Call (CC) ETF or a specific Value Investment, I’m avoiding it. My primary focus is scaling this portfolio to $1M while creating a sustainable monthly distribution I can eventually live off, so my strategy is now split into three pillars: 1. CASH (Dry powder for opportunities) 2. Value Investments (My primary "Pure Growth" plays) 3. Covered Call ETFs (Income that acts as growth, like HDIV) This has been a long time coming. Ever since I first bought XUS, I’ve felt that my capital is more effective when buying conservative CC ETFs during dips or high-conviction Value stocks. The goal isn't just to track the market, it's to outperform it with intention.
