Let’s Talk: What’s the Hardest Part About Creating Right Now?
I’ll go first:For me, it’s showing up when life is falling apart behind the scenes. Trying to create content while managing stress, family, finances—it’s brutal.And some days, the last thing I want to do is write, post, or record anything.But I keep showing up. Not because it’s easy.Because it matters. Now I want to hear from you. 👉 What’s the hardest part about creating right now? Burnout? Time? Confidence? Tech stuff? Feeling invisible? Drop a comment—even just a sentence. Let’s remind each other we’re not doing this alone.

What do you want to learn right now?
All of us are trying to learn and apply AI in some way. How can I help? I am no expert, but together, we can get you where you need to be. What do you want to learn next?

I'll go first: I am trying to learn MCP, and how to build my own bot so I can train it to react to my needs, even better than the one I have now.

What’s Everyone Building Right Now? 🚀
We’re all here because we’re creating something—whether it’s a blog, a business, an ebook, or a second act that’s still just a spark. The hardest part about building is doing it alone. The easiest way to keep going is knowing someone else is out there, fighting the same battles. So let’s open it up: 👉 What are you building right now? 👉 What’s one struggle you’re facing? 👉 What’s one win you’ve had this week (big or small)? I’ll go first in the comments. Jump in below and share yours. Don’t be shy—this is how we turn a group into a community.

Besides this Skool community, I have been publishing on Medium. Here is my latest post! The struggle I have been facing with this community is building up members. I wanted to give the first 25 a lifetime pass, and then start charging, but we are stuck at 8. Do you guys know anyone who would be interested? My big win is that I am finally making headway on LinkedIn. I have gone from 5 impressions to hundreds, so I am starting to see progress! Your turn!

Hi @Amy Bartel ! I have some experience with video, as I used to have a YouTube channel, and the best things I can tell you to do for your audience is to be real and raw. If you don't want to wear makeup, that is you, don't do it. Be yourself. Don't try to act like you think they expect you to act, be genuine. As far as what Ai can do, there are some apps out there that could help you put together a finished video, and I could help you find them, but you are going to have to get out there and film yourself. There are even some that can create an avatar of you based on a picture, and it can do the video for you, but frankly, you can tell its not you, and its not very honest. As far as putting the video together, I suggest InVideo AI. It can help you build the video from start to finish. But, you still have to film yourself. Good luck!

@Amy Bartel Again, if there is anything I can do to help, let me know. There are not a lot of people in the community right now, but that will change soon. Do you have any questions or anything that is bugging you right now?

We’re glad you’re here. This space is for creators 40+ who want to explore AI as a partner in writing, storytelling, and business. Take a moment to share: - Who you are - What you’re working on (big or small) - One way you’d like AI to support your creative work - share a picture of your workspace! No pressure—keep it short and simple. This is just a place to start the conversation. Looking forward to meeting you,Jason
