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.

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.
