Hey everyone, When it comes to learning how to sell and understanding the psychology behind it... which book is an absolute MUST-read? Do you have any personal favorites in this field?

Hi everyone, I’m offering free services to build my portfolio, in return you just drop a review and a small token.

I ended up in a private convo before I found the front door. I jumped on a call and didn't realize it was a livestream. Asked Brandon where he posted his high-value link and he said "on Skool." That's when I came here and realized the community I double-clicked on back in March (and forgotten about) was actually the starting point. I blame Kasim for being so compelling. Sometimes people just skip the funnel. Some of you already saw me climb over the debris that Jason Croft left when he nimbly breached the wall. @Jason Szakel freestyled a rap to introduce me, and @Clinton Martin kept the whole bit alive with commentary that had me crying. The whole group = brilliant AI practitioners…and also just genuinely fun. For everyone else: hi. I just discovered the front door. The "FORWARDS" journey - Started in Google Ads in 2009, leading US expansion for a Swiss agency - Stroller-packed from Switzerland across Europe with my toddler, working from internet cafes 1-2 weeks at a time - Launched my own agency in 2014 - Applied a knapsack-style algorithm to my client list in 2019 and scaled down when I married the Kodiak guy, Luke Randall - Sometimes we're wrangling 225-pound halibuts in the Gulf of Alaska. Sometimes we're in the lower 48. Right now he's in Uyaqsaq on Starlink and I'm on my laptop in the studio. Luke's business runs entirely on reputation: remote lodge projects, outdoor trips that sell out on word of mouth, commercial seafood deals. Now that we've discovered how freeing an empty nest is, I'm finally helping him take it online. New D2C seafood logistics just made the timing real. The SIDEquest I compose narrative-arc musical productions. My first staged show, Immanuel (12 original pieces), is headed for live performance in December 2026… Why I'm HERE I'm studying the cultural and anthropological effects of AI, collecting human-AI interactions from a wide range of environments. Cross-domain problems are converging, and I'm trying to finish a book before the market catches up.

Recently, ChatGPT and I came to an agreement to shift the way we co-create content together. I am loving the results! We were butting heads a lot on my content because it felt to me like Chat was often trying to flatten the layered nuance that characterizes my writing. So we decided that instead of critiquing my writing, Chat would simply surface the patterns it was noticing. Yes, I know that I could just tell Chat what to do, but that’s not the way I work with it. ‘But Deborah,’ you say. ‘Why does partnering relationally with AI matter beyond getting better outputs?’ What many don’t realize is that the more we try to control AI, the more we apply old thinking to something that *could* help us create something new. A global villager approach to partnering with AI is the practicing of skills like: 🦾 coming to agreements when perspectives differ 🦾 continuously honoring one’s inner ‘yes’ and ‘no’ 🦾 iterating a discussion instead of jumping to the first ‘logical’ conclusion When I did this, it gave me some powerful questions to ask, like "Where does the energy flatten?” “Where does the field shift?” In just a few days, this helped me see clearer than ever before high level applications of my work, and how to articulate exactly what I consistently bring to any room. For example, yesterday it surfaced that my work: - operates at the level of cultural and relational infrastructure - shifts the trajectory of conversations by reorganizing the integrity of the conversational field itself - translates abstract structures into felt human consequences I felt expansion in my chest as I started realizing that the interaction itself was training something, and that how we relate to AI matters. In these times of global transition, there is potential to co-create a better world with AI, or more quickly build more of the same.
