🔥 Day 7 Recap — AI Think Tank

Seven nights in a row. No days off. This is what separates the people who figure it out from everyone else.

Here's what went down last night 👇

I built a tool for people in this program who want to build apps. It's called the App Builder and it walks you through 7 levels — from ranting your problem into ChatGPT all the way to a bulletproofed, sellable product.

It's already posted in the community. "App Builders Live." If you haven't touched it, that's your assignment tonight before the call.

What Each Person Is Building

@Austin Brown

— Torn between building a dad-to-kid connection app (his son is 9, in South Carolina) and a small business pain-point consultancy. His Day 1 homework already produced a real output: an SOP for dads living away from their kids. Both paths are real. His next move: let AI help him pick the one that lines up money, fulfillment, and lowest effort.

@Nick Whaley

— Took his Day 1 homework and applied it to our own IG4R business. The AI came back and said: you have 6-7 fragmented Google Sheets, redundant processes, and the whole operation is bloated. Translation: fat and clunky. His job now is to build the fix. Classic example of your biggest problem being right in front of you.

@Bowen Rudd

— Lives in Anchorage, Alaska. We spent time unpacking what makes Alaska different: 21 hours of daylight in summer, no AC, manic season, mosquitoes, community isolation, high cost of living. All of that = a dense cluster of local pain points almost no one else is building for. Current direction: a Facebook community page for Anchorage parents to find summer activities + a lead-gen matchmaker connecting people to HVAC companies before summer hits. That matchmaker model (Uber, Tinder, eHarmony) is one of the cleanest business structures there is. Three parties win. You just get paid in the middle.

@Emily Encinosa

— Made her first offer. A birth plan audit for $1.97 with 45 minutes of her time. She delivered it. A review is coming. She's using Claude for calendar time-blocking and said it changed her life. She emailed moms group moderators to get permission to add value inside their communities. She's also exploring a doula/midwife finder — a niche directory for faith-aligned births (Mormon, Christian, conservative) that could be replicated across markets. Her big unlock: she has past clients in Vegas AND Maryland. Two different markets, one product.

Arizona — Going viral on social, building out Upwork. Has 3-tier pricing set up with help from AI. Not closed a client yet — but people are viewing the offers. The thing that's missing: a video. A 60-second Loom showing your face and your work will convert more than any written proposal. That's the next step.

@David Farone

Using AI to structure his days hour-by-hour, which is giving him more free time, not less. Came up with a product idea we all loved: a daily check-in app that captures lessons learned and plans tomorrow. Like a "street smarts journal" meets accountability tool. The kind of thing a book-smart person buys to get street smart. There's a real market there.

@Kelvin K

His AI actually told him: slow down, stabilize first. He just got a security job and his bandwidth is maxed. So the plan is simple — start the job Tuesday, keep his eyes open for inefficiencies, and let the problems come to him. The niche might be inside the building he's working in. That's the assignment.

@Stevie Spurlin

— Went to a Mindvalley event and took notes on how to build your AI brain (rant your experiences into it by category — businesses, relationships, lessons learned). Made her first sale — a $9 lab analysis product — and already delivered it. Posted in 3 Facebook groups. We used an AI tool called Blort to analyze her Instagram reels live on the call. Result: strong hook strategy, relatable content, but gym humor massively outperforms the educational stuff. She knows it. Now she leans into it.

🎯 The Biggest Lesson From Night 7

Stop speaking from authority. Start speaking from experience.

"You should do this" → sounds expert → creates a wall → kills the sale.

"This is what I did. This is what happened. This is what I messed up." → sounds human → builds trust → makes the sale.

In coaching especially, people don't buy the product. They buy the person. And the person they buy is the one they actually want to spend time with.

The best part? Speaking from experience is easier. You can fumble your words, get emotional, forget your train of thought — and it doesn't matter. Because you have the result they want.

📅 Tonight: Day 8, 6:00 PM Pacific

We keep going. See you there. 🫡
