For me B1Q Depending on my mood !

Oh em geee!!

I was talking to my mom the other day about changes happening at her company. 🫖 She’s in her 60s, getting closer to retirement, and she said something that stuck with me: “I feel deeply for those who don’t have a backup plan after this. I know a lot of us may wonder who’s going to hire someone in their 60s or older. It’s scary to think about.”And the more I sat with what she said, the more I realized there was probably a little bit of fear for herself underneath that too. My mom has always WERKED. She served her country, raised her kids, built a career, got elected, volunteered—the list goes on. So I asked her, “Mommy…what do YOU actually want to do when you retire?” Not what job could you get next or what would be safest. Your kids are grown. You’ve already spent decades working. What would you choose if you finally got to decide what this next chapter looks like? And I think a lot of folks need to hear this, especially if you’re 60+: you have a much bigger advantage than you realize. You have decades of knowledge, experience, mistakes, relationships and pattern recognition sitting inside of you. Things that feel completely normal because you’ve been doing them for years could be incredibly valuable to a founder, a growing company or someone trying to learn in months what took you decades to understand. That expertise could become consulting, training, advising, mentorship, content, digital products, services or an entirely new business. And AI makes this even more interesting because your experience is the expertise. AI can help you package, organize and amplify it. Experience can mean recognizing problems faster, asking better questions and needing far less time to get up to speed. Experience saves time, and time has value. So if you’re watching the workplace change around you, please don’t automatically translate that into “my opportunities are disappearing.” You may not need to start over. You may need to start looking at everything you already know differently. The training wheels are off. You don’t have to wait for another company to decide you’re valuable.

Some of y’all only know me because of AI. You know me for prompts. You know me for apps. You know me for YAMS. But let me reintroduce myself… Before ChatGPT. Before prompts. Before Skool. Before vibe coding. Before AI apps… I had already spent more than a decade in the trenches driving growth, scaling revenue, solving complex marketing challenges, and helping corporations and entrepreneurs generate millions of dollars in gross revenue. Long before AI became the hottest topic on the internet. This isn’t something I started learning after ChatGPT came out. This is what I’ve done professionally for years. I’ve helped drive millions of dollars in business growth through digital marketing, paid media, search marketing, e-commerce, advertising strategy, optimization, and execution. I’ve managed Amazon advertising. I’ve managed Google Ads. I’ve managed YouTube Ads. I’ve managed SEO. I’ve helped companies turn around struggling accounts. I’ve sat in countless strategy and ideation sessions with founders, executives, leadership teams, and decision-makers solving real business problems—not hypothetical ones. I’ve collaborated with Fortune 500 companies to train their teams! I’ve been invited into rooms where marketing decisions impacted real revenue, real businesses, and real people. I wasn’t invited because I knew the latest AI tool or because of a FOMO video... I was invited because I knew how to think strategically, solve problems, and deliver results. AI didn’t create my expertise. It amplified it. That’s why YAMS exists. Not to help you chase every shiny AI tool. Not to convince you your breakthrough is hiding inside the next app either. Not to make you feel like you’re always one course, one cohort, one prompt, or one software update away from success. YAMS exists to teach you how to think outside the box with your own brilliant brain. Because here’s what I know… You already have ideas. You already have experience. You already have skills. You already have creativity.
