I’m thinking about turning Advantage Hour from an open, talk-about-whatever call into an actual POWER HOUR 👀 Instead of just hopping on to chat, everyone who joins would come ready to WORK. Think: 💻 Building or updating your portfolio 🔎 Researching brands + campaign angles ✍️ Writing pitches 📩 Actually sending the pitches 🧠 Getting quick feedback when you’re stuck Basically… a dedicated hour where we all stop overthinking and get the dang work DONE together. I’ll still be there to answer questions, help with positioning, brainstorm angles, review things, etc. but the goal would be for you to leave the call having actually moved your business forward. VOTE BELOW 👇 Would you rather Advantage Hour stay open-format, or become a weekly Power Hour?

We weren’t just sitting on Zoom talking about how to make money. While we were literally on the call, attendees were getting handed MULTIPLE high-paying job leads they could actually go after. 💰 That are hiring today! Real opportunities. Real contacts. Real conversations about how to position yourself for them. This is what Advantage is supposed to be, you learn the strategy AND get opportunities to put it to work immediately. If you missed today’s call… you missed a GOOD one. 👀🔥 And this is only getting better.

I haven’t disappeared, I promise. Since Wednesday night, I’ve been in and out of the ER with my baby, and honestly, everything else has had to take a backseat. If you have kids, you know there’s no version of “business as usual” when your little one isn’t okay. I’m surfacing for air and I’ve got 300+ messages waiting across every platform. I’m going through them as fast as I can, but I wanted to be honest with you instead of just going silent. Here’s how I’m prioritizing, so you know where you stand: 📁 Purchased a portfolio and still haven’t gotten your files? Comment “PORTFOLIO” below, you are first in line, no question. I just learned Google no longer allows these to be sent as email attachments, so everything now goes out as a Google Drive link instead. I’m so sorry for the wait, truly. I’m getting these to you as fast as I possibly can. ❓ Questions about group updates not in the pinned post? I promise I haven’t forgotten you, just give me a little time to get there. 📅 Need a 1:1 from the private mentoring package? Comment “PRIVATE” and I’ll send you a link to grab time on my calendar this month and get you caught up. Thank you for being so patient and understanding with me. This community means a lot to me, and I didn’t want to leave you wondering what was going on. I’ll be back to full speed soon. 🙏💛

I’ve been heads-down building out the Creator Foundations course, and two full sections are officially live. Here’s everything that’s new: 📚 The Creator Dictionary - The UGC Dictionary — 46 terms across 7 chapters, every acronym and phrase you’ll hear as a creator, explained like I’m sitting across from you - Acronym Cheat Sheet — 42 acronyms decoded on one fast, no-scroll page - Brand-Speak Translator — 20 vague brand phrases decoded into what they actually mean - Platform & Algorithm Glossary — 27 terms for everything that isn’t UGC-specific but comes up constantly anyway - Check Your Knowledge — an 18-question self-check to see what actually stuck - 🎬 Content Toolkit - The Starter Setup Checklist — what you actually need to start filming, phone settings, lighting basics, what’s optional vs. hype - The Lighting Cheat Sheet — natural vs. artificial light, the 45° rule, and what good lighting actually looks like - Phone Camera Settings Guide — exact settings to check before you film, with iPhone and Android paths side by side - Building Your Content Library — a system for stockpiling B-roll on downtime so you’re never starting from zero - The Gear Upgrade Guide — an honest breakdown of when to actually upgrade from phone-only, and what to buy first And I just kicked off the Editing Vault with The Edit Recipe Book, 37 UGC formats organized into 5 master recipes so you’re never guessing how to cut a video together. More coming soon. If you make your way through any of this, drop a comment, I’d love to know what’s actually useful.

Y’all… I’m loading up the opportunity board with 700+ creator programs that require ZERO pitching. No cold DMs. No “crafting the perfect pitch.” No overthinking your outreach. Just apply → get in → get paid. That’s it. And this isn’t a US-only drop, only 280 are US-based, and the rest are OPEN GLOBALLY 🌍 so wherever you’re creating from, you are IN this. This is your sign to stop waiting for the “right” brand deal to fall in your lap and start applying like it’s your job, because it kind of is. 👀 And a challenge is coming soon to help you actually put these to work so keep an eye out. Let’s go turn some of these 700 opportunities into paychecks! 🙌
