I’ve noticed myself being less amused by videos or pictures that look “so” incredible. I’ll figure that it is probably AI…. I have that hunger for real life/unedited material. What is the person really like? Sometimes posts that are so perfect that three years ago they would be amazing to read, now…now it has lost its brilliance because I figure it was an AI and not a human. Does anyone else feel this way? There was a talk by..I forgot his name, but he talked about not using AI for right brained things, and use it for left brained things. I loved his talk. He was a Harvard professor that taught happiness.

I’ve got a project due Wednesday, and this is the one piece blocking me from closing my first client. For anyone who’s actually built this: how are you handling AI phone orders with Stripe payments? I’m already working with Vapi, n8n, Airtable, webhooks, etc., so I’m not stuck on tooling. I’m just trying to understand the clean, real-world flow people are using so I can finish this the right way. Even a short, high-level explanation would help a lot.

I’m hella hyped as I just built my first course. It’s drafted and will be published this weekend. Any tips or feedback on courses? Successes? Mistakes? Failures?
