So, some of you met me and my brother after this wedenesday´s Afternoon Tea (for me was a night tea, but anyway) meeting. Here´s some context: - I insisted he used this methodology - He´s been using AI and introduced me in the last year to some cool AI tools (like Notebook LM, for example) - He´s got over 40 years of computer usage experience (not programming, but usage) Then he sent me over whatsapp (in spanish) the following line: "I'm here building an MVP to audit Google campaigns. So far, so good!! ...I just need to finish watching the videos so it uses fewer tokens." Which I then replied: "It’s NOT just fewer tokens. (ICM) It’s: - fewer or almost no hallucination events - fewer modifications and rework of results - fewer iterations to reach the MVP - more control over changes - easier scalability - faster results - better interaction between the output of one process and the input of another - easier to automate - easier to debug - much, much easier to understand when you pick up the project in 2 weeks, 3 months, or 1 year - much more valuable if you’re going to hand the project off to someone else " After some projects, you realize this yourself. I didn´t go to SKOOL to check the answers, or to make my point....this all came from MY experience after implementating this Methodology for almost 2 months... Every project gets better, faster cheaper (and everything else I answered above). After wednesday´s Afternoon Tea meeting with @Jake Van Clief , I chatted a problem that I encountered after using astro.build , and Jake actually took the time to review it, answer me, and then ask me about his answer ... 🤯 I spent all saturday thinking about the implementation, writing an instruction.md file, and actually reorganized my astro.build project, so that it has an ICM structure (this will be another post). Have you got also this Mind blowing 🤯 moments using ICM⁉️

Lots of people were saying they loved the new animation style and videos and were curious if I was going to be doing any more live videos. Well for the last few months me, my editors and some amazing people have been editing cutting and filming a whole bunch of videos! Which goes with one piece of advice. No one knows who you are, I still get hundreds of comments of people who have been following me for months who didnt know I have a Skool, or didnt know I have a youtube, channel. If I can post as much as I do and still be getting millions of views from people who don't know me imagine how many people cant see you or your business? Its not about one content or another, its about ensuring you get as much out there as you can so there is statistically impossible to ignore you.

I wanted to post about a different kind of win. Yesterday, I joined the New member onboarding session with @Jake Van Clief. A great relaxed atmosphere with a really cool group of people all with different types of backgrounds. Jake gave us a walkthrough of all the things you can access via the premium membership. He then answered members' questions and we dived into very interesting topics I did not know about (Astro was one of them). That was a big win in itself. 🏆 The even bigger win was that a group of people stayed on just to chat. @Chandler Dufour kindly started the conversation and lots of cool experiences, funny stories and "ICM shop talk" were shared between everyone. I think the meeting turned into something like over 1 hour and was still going when I had to leave. If you haven't joined Premium I'd encourage you to do so. It's more than worth it. And $11 (€9.83 here) is an absolute bargain for what you get. Plus, you can't put a price tag on meeting cool people. For everyone who joined yesterday: Great to meet you and leave a comment below as I did not click fast enough to follow all of you while on the call. 😄
