I’m reading a book called The War of Art and I’m reminded that the real enemy to our progress isn’t lack of talent… it’s resistance. Resistance shows up as hesitation. As overthinking. As “I’ll start tomorrow.” As telling yourself you need one more tutorial, one more plan, one more perfect moment. But the truth is, resistance doesn’t show up when something doesn’t matter. Resistance shows up when you’re getting close to the thing that could change your life. So if you feel the pull to procrastinate today…If your mind is trying to talk you out of learning something new…If you're convincing yourself you’re not ready yet… Good. That’s the signal. That means you’re right on the edge of growth. Instead of trying to defeat resistance in one big heroic moment, do what actually works: Show up for one small action. Learn one thing. Try one messy draft. Take one uncomfortable step. You don’t need to win the war today. You just need to win this moment. Because motion breaks resistance. Momentum quiets the fear. And once you start, everything gets easier. So ask yourself: What is the one simple thing you can do today...right now...that Resistance doesn’t want you to do? Do that. Post it below. Let’s make today the day we move forward anyway.

Let’s set aside productivity for a second. We all know ChatGPT is great for: - Writing faster - Organizing thoughts - Brainstorming ideas - Planning workflows But here’s a deeper question I’ve been wrestling with: Can AI help us understand ourselves? Or is that something only humans or human relationships can support? The reason I’m asking: Burnout is skyrocketing. More people feel existentially lost, not just inefficient. And self-coaching tools are exploding. But what I don’t see much of are tools that support: - Emotional meaning-making - Identity transitions - Purpose exploration - Spiritual realignment - Legacy building I’ve tried using ChatGPT for this I’ve prompted it with: - “Help me explore my values” - “Guide me through an identity shift” - “What does it mean to live an aligned life?” - “Write me a personal philosophy statement” Some of the outputs were genuinely helpful. But also… oddly mechanical. Like it knew the right words, but didn’t know me. 💡 So here’s the real idea: What if we fused the best of AI’s structure with the emotional intelligence of coaching? Imagine a tool that: - Helps you map your meaning journey - Tracks when your decisions drift from your core values - Guides you through identity transitions (career, loss, growth) - Surfaces emotional patterns over time - Reflects your inner world, not just your task list Something like a Human Operating System not for work, but for self-understanding. ❓Curious where Reddit lands on this: - Do you want AI to help with purpose, identity, and meaning? - Or is that territory we shouldn’t hand over even partially to machines? - Would you trust AI to support a spiritual/legacy journey? I’m experimenting with a prototype (HumanOS) but not trying to pitch here — just want to test if this resonates at all. 👇 Curious what you think.

We just had the privilege of letting our partners over at Feeding America know that we will have another 2,000,000 meals ready to send their way in November. We just donated 1,400,000 meals in October and they just informed us that in the last few years we are now at 14,173,890 MILLION MEALS DONATED! It wouldn't be possible without all of you! 😃

Please see an update for me this morning in the comments. This disaster is going to make me a much better founder. I got up at 3:45 AM today to begin rebuilding my company. Original post follows: I’m standing here writing this in tears, and I want to give a very sobering warning to anyone who is considering upgrading from ChatGPT plus to a business Team’s account on ChatGPT. There is a a glitch that was unknown to me before I started this process, but is apparently well known in the open AI developer community that all of your data is deleted when you migrate it and you can’t get it back. Everything I’ve been building for months is just …. Gone. Other than what I had saved and backed up in my personal files, my entire ChatGPT history has been zeroed out, and it really hurts because this was like my external brain for both home and my business that I’m building. Open AI acknowledged that their company documentation failed to include a warning that all of my personal data would be deleted and everything that I have been working on since day one in my accounts has been deleted, and there’s nothing I can do to get it back even though I followed their exact instructions on merging my personal and business accounts, to the letter. I just paid $618 to upgrade my account to two seats on a business plan and merged the data from my personal account to my business plan. Within a minute or two of that transaction going through as I was following the step-by-step worksheet that ChatGPT itself printed out for me. My accounts froze, and I had to log out. I logged back in everything was blank. When I used my previous emails that I had my accounts tied to to log back in ChatGPT opened free tier accounts using my business email that I just paid $618 to open my business account on. I’ve escalated this to ChatGPT Support and they were extremely unhelpful. Basically they said sorry it’s a known issue and there’s nothing we can do. I was planning on shipping a product today using the ChatGPT business plan because it offers a secure link so that I’m not sending out raw proprietary JSON code.
