Hello everyone, my name is Andy. I’m a coach focused on helping people grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually while building purpose-driven online communities. My current relationship with AI is that I’m actively learning and exploring it. I’ve been using tools like ChatGPT to help with writing, structuring ideas, and organizing projects, but I know there’s so much more I can learn and apply. One specific area where I’d love AI to help me is content creation and productivity. I’m building programs that support people through anxiety, emotional struggles, and personal growth, and I want to learn how AI can help me communicate more clearly, stay organized, and reach people who truly need encouragement and guidance. What brought me to this community is my desire to grow, learn from others, and understand how AI can help me make a bigger impact in helping people who feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in life. A fun fact about me is that I find peace and inspiration near water. It helps me think, reflect, and reconnect mentally and spiritually. 🙏

Just wrapped my morning workout and was reminded of this… Putting in the work matters... in the gym, in business, in life. Everyone wants the result: ➡️ The energy ➡️ The confidence ➡️ The example you set for your family But none of that happens by accident. The gym can be lonely. It’s easy to avoid. Easy to justify skipping. But if you want the outcome…you have to show up. Your business is the same. You can’t build something meaningful over a weekend and expect it to carry you for decades. You’ll question yourself, sweat, repeat the reps no one sees, and say “no” now so you can say “yes” later. Wherever you want results — your body, your career, your relationships — it all comes down to consistent work. And in every case I’ve ever seen…it’s worth it.

CuriosityStream, the documentary streaming service, just revealed it expects to make most of its revenue from licensing content to AI companies by 2027, not from subscriptions. This marks one of the most dramatic business model pivots we've seen in the streaming wars, and it reveals where real money is flowing in the AI economy. The announcement: CuriosityStream CEO Clint Stinchcomb announced that licensing revenue will surpass subscription revenue by 2027, possibly earlier. The company has already signed deals with eight leading AI developers including partnerships for Google Gemini, delivering 1.8 million hours of ethically sourced documentary content for AI training. In Q3 2025, this strategy drove revenue up 46% to $18.4 million while cutting losses to under $4 million. The company isn't just licensing its own 300,000 hours of content. It's brokering deals for an additional 1.7 million hours from third-party content owners, taking 50% of the AI licensing revenue in exchange for access to its established relationships with AI companies. What's being built: CuriosityStream has upgraded its technical infrastructure to deliver content at speeds up to 300 Gbps, enabling large-scale data transfers to AI companies. The company completed 18 distinct content fulfillments across video, audio, and code assets, positioning itself as a preferred provider of high-quality training data for AI systems. The streaming service plans to double its content library in 2026 and expects to double or triple its number of AI licensing partners during the same period. As more open-source models become accessible, CuriosityStream anticipates hundreds or even thousands of companies will need video content to fine-tune specific models. Why this matters: 🎯 The business model is flipping: A company built to sell subscriptions to consumers is now making more money selling data to AI companies. This isn't a side hustle, it's becoming the core business. That signals where the real value lies in content ownership.

Every season of struggle feels like a setback… until God reveals it was training. You may be walking through anxiety, heartbreak, or a wilderness you never asked for. Maybe life hit you so hard that you’re still trying to breathe again. But hear this: You are not standing on the ruins of your life — you are standing on the foundation of your comeback. God never builds warriors in comfort.He builds them in storms.He builds them in tears.He builds them in the nights when you feel alone but Heaven is whispering, “Keep going… I’m not done with you yet.” There is a version of you rising right now — wiser, stronger, unshakeable — and every trial you’re facing is shaping that person. You are not behind.You are not defeated.You are becoming. Lift your head. Straighten your shoulders. Take a breath.The same God who parted seas, moved mountains, and raised the dead…is the God who will rebuild you. And this time, you won’t rise by accident —you’ll rise on purpose. Stay focused. Stay faithful.Your story isn’t over.It’s just beginning. 💪🔥

There's a popular idea floating around that AI is your "second brain." We need to talk about why that framing is actually holding people back. Here's the problem: When you think of AI as a second brain, you expect it to remember everything, connect dots automatically, and somehow store all your context without you having to explain anything. Then you get frustrated when it doesn't know what you talked about yesterday or forgets the details of your business halfway through a conversation. That's not AI's fault. That's a broken expectation. What AI actually is: AI is more like having a ridiculously talented intern who shows up fresh every single time. No memory of yesterday. No context about your business unless you provide it. But incredibly fast, willing to help with anything, and capable of producing solid work if you give them clear direction. Once you understand that, everything changes. Examples of this shift: Tom runs a marketing agency and was annoyed that ChatGPT kept forgetting his brand voice. He'd explain it, get great content, then the next day have to re-explain everything. He felt like he was wasting time. Then he realized: just save the explanation. Now he starts every session by pasting a 3-sentence description of his brand voice. Takes 10 seconds. Problem solved. Angela manages operations for a nonprofit and wanted AI to "remember" all her donor segments and communication preferences. It kept mixing things up. She was ready to quit until someone suggested creating a simple reference document. Now she drops that context into every conversation. The output is consistently better because she stopped expecting AI to have memory it doesn't have. Rachel creates content for e-commerce brands and was frustrated explaining product details over and over. She thought AI should "learn" her clients. Instead, she built a simple template with client info, target audience, and key messaging. Now she copies it into each new chat. What felt like a limitation became a strength because the template forced her to clarify things she'd been keeping fuzzy in her own head.
