As the year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on how this year continued to surprise me. I thought losing my job meant I failed, but turns out, God was giving me the chance to chase my dreams. This past weekend, I experienced a taste of what my dream life could feel like firsthand when I was invited to do a VIP Content Experience in Miami for Art Basel. It wasn’t just the work, it was the location, the culture, the lifestyle. Miami sparked new joy and excitement in me about what’s possible for my life. It was proof that the vision I’m holding is catching up to the version of myself I decided to become. And to think, I had already said “Yes” to being a speaker at The Dream Life Summit next Monday-Wednesday not knowing how close to home that would hit. And now, I get to speak more about how these new mindset shifts and AI tools have positioned me to live a life I was dreaming about just this time last year. If you’re in a season of envisioning your dream life, I want you to know that it’s definitely possible, but there is still much work to do to experience the Dream itself. For me, it took having access to the right community of people who believed in me and challenged me to keep going even when I thought I wasn’t good enough. The dream was always there, but it had never been nurtured in a creative and productive environment or community. Thankfully, this year I found community. These are the very people I will be speaking among at The Dream Life Summit. I invite you all to join me for this free 3-day experience. There will be 15 powerful speakers, including myself and a few others from the Spark Tank! 🔥💛 The tickets are free, though I highly recommend VIP for $27 if you think you will miss a session. Here’s my exclusive link: https://thedreamlifesummit.com/join?am_id=kemahodge7095 As the year closes, I invite you to get reflective as well. What were your blessings and achievements this year? What obstacles and failures challenged you that you grew from? How did this year position you for who you want to be next year?

Hey Spark Tank Family!

Join me for a 3-day virtual experience designed to help you strategize, plan, and build momentum for 2026. This experience will be saved as a course, so anyone that invests will always have access to the replays and resources. Here’s What to Expect: - Day 1 – Content Planning: We’ll create an annual marketing calendar, set goals and dates, and create a Master Content Outline for the year ahead — using my custom Marketing Planner, ChatGPT, and NotebookLM. - Day 2 – Strategy & Storytelling: Learn to apply my signature frameworks to craft powerful campaigns and content that convert — and get hands-on with tools like Canva, Gemini, and Midjourney. - Day 3 – Systems & Scale: This is build day. You’ll create one scalable solution — maybe an email sequence, a DM funnel, or a branded automation. I’ll show you how to use Base44 and Automate Your Hustle to make your system real. For just $97, you’ll learn and leave with a working content strategy, your 2026 marketing plan, and new confidence in your creative process. Visit the Classroom section to sign up. You can get started planning and building as soon as you sign up. Join the November Lock In: https://www.skool.com/the-spark-7661/classroom/4d82463a

Checking in with another update! What's inside: - My experience building an LLM for the first time - A sneak peek at my Content Planner app (no one else has seen it yet!) - A warm (but whiny) hello from my puppy Stax

Sometimes the hardest thing we can do is just start. In the video attached, I show you my rough draft of the video I actually want to produce for YouTube. I challenged myself to record before I was ready. That way I could practice and be better prepared for the real thing. Are you getting in your head about your content? It's time for us to get out of our own way and start. If the idea of showing up feels daunting, maybe the next step is writing your script, picking out your outfit, or do like I did... set up your stage, hit record, and stumble your way through it so that you can the lived experience to teach you better for next time. What is the next step you will take this week?

This week I'm sharing an imperfect look at my Content Creation Method using the "CLAP" for yourself framework I developed while working as a Social Media Manager at a Digital Marketing Agency. I bumbled.. I fumbled.. but I still showed up. Growth looks like hitting record even when it's not polished, because every attempt stacks up your legacy. What are you holding back from recording? What if you committed to choosing a day and time to record? Would you show up for yourself? If you need a place to be authentic, feel free to post it here or send it to me directly. I'll always be there to Clap for you. 👏🏾
