One of the biggest mindset shifts AI has given me has nothing to do with productivity. It’s possibility. For years, my dream life felt inspiring… …but still slightly imaginary. Now it feels real. Not because everything is finished. Not because I suddenly became rich overnight. Because the evidence keeps stacking up. The books. The community. The conversations. The opportunities. The confidence to finally say: “Yes, I am a mentor.” And I think this is where AI becomes transformational. Not because it magically does the work for us… …but because it helps people accumulate evidence faster. Evidence that: - their ideas matter - their voice resonates - they can learn quickly - they can create value - they can reinvent themselves I’m publishing a book a month for the rest of the year. Not because I already have proof it will work. Because I’m giving the experiment enough time to produce truthful data. Most people quit before the evidence arrives. Meanwhile, every Friday, I still show up to my little virtual Happy Hour… even if it’s just me, Brian, and Stormy Cat. Because we keep showing up. And honestly? One day people will look at communities, brands, creators, and movements and think: “Wow… that happened fast.” No. It didn’t. You just arrived after they’d already shown up 100 times. So I’ll keep writing. Keep walking. Keep publishing. Keep building. People can catch up whenever they’re ready to jump on the party bus. 🧡

Last night, only one other person showed up to my virtual happy hour. A few years ago, I probably would have taken that personally and quietly stopped doing them. But this season of my life is teaching me something different: Most meaningful things start small. Communities. Books. Businesses. Confidence. Dreams. So I’ll be back next Friday 😊 If you’d like a casual place to connect, talk life, ask questions, dream bigger, or just hang out with good people, come join us. Better question for today: What’s one thing you want to keep showing up for, even if the results aren’t here yet?
