Hey guys! I hope you are all ready to have a great 2026 as the AI game will keep changing even more. I have two major updates to share: 1. New Classroom Module: AI Business Blueprints 💰 Due to the popularity of my Sabrina Ramonov Interview, I wanted to create a Classroom Module that covers the best ways to make money with AI in 2026 and beyond. It reveals the most realistic paths to starting an AI business this year: - Education & Workshops (Build authority fast) - Paid Communities (Recurring revenue via "Human Magic") - Automation Agencies (Solving messy technical problems) - AI SaaS & Vibe Coding (Building high-leverage assets) - AI Businesses You Should Avoid Click Here to Check it Out (Free for All Members) 2. 2026 Roadmap: It's Time to Get More Technical 🤖 Structure is only half the battle. This year, I'll be exploring more advanced AI tech that moves the needle: - AI Agents & Automations - Claude Code & Skills - Google Antigravity & Other IDEs that are Popular - More Focus on AI Systems vs AI Prompts - Mastering AI Fundamentals By “technical,” I don’t mean becoming a software engineer. In fact I don't know s**t about coding but I understand marketing, content, and systems of what "good looks like" which is extremely valuable. What I mean by 'technical' is being comfortable inside an IDE, tweaking workflows, running scripts, and understanding why something works instead of hoping it does. The Hard Truth: By the end of this year, vibe coding and getting more technical with AI won't be a "nice to have" skill anymore, it will be mandatory. If you call yourself "non-technical" and refuse to use a terminal or an IDE, it won't be long until a youngster who can do 5x what you can. The Upside: Once you cross this line, your leverage goes way up, and your dependence on tools, vendors, and guesswork goes way down.

Once again, this was created for ChatGPT Click the + icon to upload your photo, then paste in the following prompt and click go --- Turn the uploaded photo into a glamorous Happy New Year celebration artwork. Brighten and enhance the image while maintaining exact facial likeness, proportions, and expressions for everyone in the photo. Transform all clothing into elegant New Year party attire such as sequined dresses, tailored suits, metallic fabrics, or luxury evening wear with subtle sparkle, shimmer, and reflective highlights. Add a sophisticated New Year atmosphere with golden and silver tones, soft glowing lights, bokeh sparkles, champagne bubbles, confetti, fireworks in the background, and a refined celebratory glow. Include tasteful New Year elements like champagne flutes, glittering clocks near midnight, light trails, or celebratory light bursts, without overpowering faces. Keep skin texture realistic and natural. Preserve age, facial structure, eye shape, and expressions exactly as in the original photo. Avoid changing identity, hairstyle, or facial features. Style should be ultra-polished, high-end, cinematic, festive, and celebratory. Photorealistic faces with luxury editorial quality. Clean lighting, enhanced clarity, and balanced contrast. Magical New Year ambience without distortion or caricature. ---

I wanted to intro myself to the community. I have been around the online space, helping behind the scenes on product launches which was a great experience but it didnt help grow my income just other peoples. Now its time to breakout and build my own future and AI will make that job a lot easier. I am looking forward to connecting with others here to share my knowledge and to learn from you as well- a WIN/WIN for us all!

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉 I've been on my first ever cruise this week with my wife's family to celebrate Christmas & New Years and I've had very little access to Internet (hard for me to unplug lol) I attached some pictures but it's a Caribbean cruise where we've stopped at Grand Turk, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and a few other islands.
