I'm, as always, in the middle of reading multiple books because I get bored so easily these days... But I guess I don't feel guilty about it anymore ever since I went through John's Insight Exposed (sucks for you if you didn't buy it when I promoted it). Anyway. Tell me what you're reading 👀 Don't even have to be business-related or nonfiction. Normal fiction, trashy fiction, steamy hentai... anything goes.

Does anyone here want to learn how to make weird (or useful) things with Claude Code? @Alex Dobrenko is killing it with his cohort-based Claude workshop, teaching writers/creators to use Claude to make life... a bit happier with all kinds of weird to actually really useful tools. I want Alex to let me sell it to you, so if there's interest, please vote!

Have you ever made money outside of your JOB and current business? I wanna know (and brag about my own entrepreneurial past because...) Tell me all the ways you've made money. No judgement. Bake sales, foot pics, whipping people (or being whipped)... anything goes... And if you have never made money in *unconventional* ways, that's cool... take this opportunity to come up with some ideas! (Why? I dunno... it's fun...) Make a list of things you could do... list-making is the epitome of creativity, not talked about enough... Mine: - The beginning was good old tutoring my neighbor's kid back in middle and high school - I ran a print magazine in college for film photography. Sold each issue for $13... which was $1 over the cost of the printing and shipping... it was never gonna pan out. - I once taught people how to do hand-lettering (I have no idea why people were paying me because man I sucked!) - I've made websites for people - I took photos for artists' and actors' "portfolios" - One artist couple hired me to design their yearly TriBeca artwalk booklet (24 pages, $1,350... covered that month's rent last minute... whew... NYC rent is no joke, even way back when). - A chick in NYC paid me $5 to take her photo with my Polaroid... 👇

I can't live without these: Kit (email/newsletter) WordPress (my whole business is on the WordPress ecosystem) Canva (graphics, some docs, presentations, etc.) CoSchedule (project planner) Tweek (daily-to-do list) Notion (long-term planning, info products) Skool (community) Obsidian (journaling) Zoom (meetings) Calendly (booking) Google Workspace (Docs, Forms, Sheets, Email)

Last week I mostly focused on the workshop and an impromptu sale on the SEO course. Here's this week's agenda: - MPL 1: affiliate promo incoming - MPL 2: work on the Mastery Session for the Vault - Continue working on the workshop - MPL 3: Work on a new blog post
