For 20 years, one character stayed with me. MARVIN the Mole. The stories were written, the vision was clear. But one thing held me back: Illustrations. For years, it felt out of reach. Until AI. In the past year, everything changed: Ideas have become Images Stories have become Books Vision has become Reality. A new business created with a strong compelling future. 3 books published. Two of them created for the US Route 66 Centennial and designated as Route 66 Centennial Certified. MARVIN THE MOLE: The Mystery of the Missing Signs Route 66 Centennial Ride in Kingman MARVINE THE MOLE: The Tunnel Under the Rim a Route 66 Journey From missing signs in Kingman… to tunnels beneath the Grand Canyon… Marvin’s world is finally alive. Thanks to AI Advantage!

Dean asked who's overwhelmed, how many know AI should be bigger in your business but aren't sure what to do next. Hands up all over the chat. Mine stayed down, and that was the shift. Not because I've got it figured out. Because I realised I've been building AI augmented platforms for years without calling them that. 🧭 The constraint that built the stack I live in a small country town in Australia. I have max 4 hours of working capacity per day on medical grounds. I cannot cold call, email, or pitch. Anything else is not available to me. Those limits forced decisions I would never have made otherwise. Every process had to become a cron job, a template, a scheduled agent, or it did not happen. Dean and Tony's "buy back your time" framing from today is not aspirational for me, it is the only mode I can operate in. I just did not have a name for it. 🏗️ What I already have running - a weather station on logging since 2004 - hyperlocal weather for some paying members - got a national garden platform also has some paying members - I have managed WordPress clients - an IG trading desk using Gann, weather, and commodity signals - self hosted Gitea with an AI pull request agent that reviews everything I write - 9 interactive garden calculators pulling live weather data - 286 published pages across the network, 96 cron jobs keeping it all running Infrastructure could support $200K plus per year. It generates about 7 per cent of that today, there obviously a need for improvement. 🪚 What day 1 made obvious The stack is not the bottleneck. I am. Specifically, the execution layer on top of it is thin. I have data, platforms, cron jobs, scraped prices, weather telemetry. What I do not have is the discipline that Igor, Tony and Dean were dee dots with simple AI workflows and actually ship the monetisation. Six months ago the conversation around AI was fear. Today the one ins "more infrastructure" to "finish what is already built".

On a scale from 1–10… where are you with AI right now? 1 = ‘How do you spell ChatGPT again?’ 10 = ‘AI is working for me so well, it feels like leverage’ Drop your number 👇 (No judgment—just curious where everyone’s at today)

Hello everyone, not new to AI apps but feeling lost when looking to use it daily to help with business so yeah. I own and run my own little Acting school business here in Queensland Australia and looking for AI to help be my partner to help run it and upscale the business online. And that’s about it. Not sure if I needed anything else. But yeah Hi everyone looking forward to a 4am start!

Im 80 yrs old. I'see people my age defeated, quiet, bent in two, sick, giving up on new things, scared of moving forward, waiting for what? As a 60yrs experienced pro -artist unproductive in the last few years -I now.am a re-emerging one . I've created a retrospective 16 min video of my life journey as an artist to celebrate my birthday with friends and family. IT's given me a new life. Now I' very nervous about presenting in a public setting soon and stress about it. I want to let all the old people know why I did this and now why I do it publicly I want to inspire other seniors to begin again -just start again- LIVE fully without fear. I do have this vision to help those who look at me and praise my energy or humph..I 'm grateful to have HEARD Tony mention the 3 points to make. When it seems almost impossible to make that difference in our world, and I will continue to that and create art that will help my pears realize this...thats my win and I'll GO FOR IT.
