Hey everyone, I wanted to take a moment to check in and let you know where things have been over the last couple of months. As I mentioned before, I've been spending a lot of time building something new, while also taking on more consulting work than I expected. The consulting has been incredibly rewarding, but it has also demanded much more of my time and attention. Between that and some larger planning behind the scenes, Skool hasn't received the attention I'd originally hoped to give it. During that time, I've done a lot of thinking about where I want to take all of this. One of the biggest realizations I've had is that I don't want my work—or myself—to be defined by AI alone. AI is still an important part of my workflow and something I'll continue teaching, but it's only one piece of what I do. I've spent years creating comics, building creative workflows, experimenting with technology, consulting with creators, and learning how to produce content efficiently. There's far more to my experience than just the latest AI tools, and I want my future content to reflect that. I also want to say thank you. One of the most unexpected and meaningful parts of building this community has been the number of people who have reached out simply to ask how I'm doing. I've had members check in on me, send encouraging messages, and genuinely care about what I've been working on. That's something I haven't experienced to this extent before, and I truly appreciate it. You've built a community that feels personal, and that means a great deal to me. Over the last few months, I've also been looking at my own business the same way I'd advise one of my consulting clients to look at theirs. One piece of advice I give creators all the time is not to put all of their eggs in one basket. If you don't own the platform, you don't control its future. That's true whether we're talking about YouTube, Substack, Skool, Patreon, or any other service. As I stepped back and looked at my own work, I realized I wasn't following my own advice.

New plan, some changes coming soon. I have to take my own advice and not try to be all things to all people. There will be regular content updates returning soon, but first, I will be trimming off and scaling back a lot of the store. I'll be focusing on the advice articles on creative production and tutorials, the stuff that you guys have directly told me is most useful to you. Thanks for being here and continuing to support me.
