In this video, I did something a little special, as I was out of commission for a week due to surgery. Instead of skipping the week in AI news, we put some of the best modern AI tools to the test to see what we could create. So I'm proud to present our guest host AI Igor, who will only be filling in this week while I rest my voice. AI Igor covers the results of the testing we've been doing on the top models for the past week, talks about the new Copilot Cowork coming to Microsoft 365 users, discusses the disappointing release from Luma with Uni-1, and more. Enjoy this special edition and I will be back next week!

Most people set goals and immediately ask, “How do I make this happen?” That’s not the wrong question. It’s just incomplete. The more important question is, “Who do I need to become to live at this level consistently?” Because the habits, standards, and identity that got you here might not be enough to take you where you want to go next. And that’s not a flaw. That’s how growth works. Goals don’t change your life by themselves. Who you become while pursuing them does. When you raise your standards, upgrade your identity, and start operating from that place, the right actions become obvious. The discipline feels different. The results stop feeling forced. So before you stack more strategies on your plate, pause and ask yourself: Who do I need to become this year to make my goals inevitable? Drop it in the comments.

2026 isn’t about hoping things change, it’s about deciding they do. Become the person your goals require. Stay aligned. Stay disciplined. Results will follow.

Hey team — wanted to share something real quick. I got a message from the moderators explaining that they have to be careful about links and posts that might look like self-promo or lead generation. As a cybersecurity professional, I actually get that. There’s a lot of bad actors in this space, and once the door is open, it’s open for everyone not just the people trying to help. So I respect the logic there. With that said I still want to make sure the people who don’t have the money to buy into programs right now know this: You are not blocked from entering this field. The barrier to entry in cybersecurity and AI is wide open. If you’re hungry, curious, and willing to learn, there are plenty of free tools and free paths that can take you very, very far. Even if you start small: - One free lab environment - One workflow automation tool - One defensive security practice scenario - One daily learning rep It compounds. You don’t have to start with expensive bootcamps…You don’t need a premium dashboard to learn how these systems think. You don’t need to already “be in” to get in. Movement > Money Curiosity > Credentials Consistency > Everything Your creativity is the real skill here. As they said…all the tools are just brushes. And once you learn how to think in systems you can paint whatever you want onto the world. If anyone needs a list of free tools, free learning paths, and starter labs, I’ll make one with no links required so it fits the rules. Just drop a “+1” and I’ll put it together. We rise together…. — Nick

My ADHD wreaks havoc on my life. I made this for myself to keep guardrails on my day. I’m sharing it with the world because I don’t want anymore people to suffer or think they are broken.
