Some of you watched me start it. Live, on a call, three days after the news broke. It’s finished. Five chapters, forty pages. It went live yesterday. And I need to tell you what actually happened, because the lesson everybody takes from this is the wrong one. The AI drafted. It restructured. It caught me repeating myself. It let me move at the speed of my thinking instead of the speed of my typing, and that is the real unlock, and always has been. But everything worth reading in that book came from somewhere the model could not reach. My mother in Arima, who cannot go to work some mornings because there is no water to bathe. A 720 megawatt power plant at La Brea, built for a smelter that never came, that we are still paying for. The AI had none of that. I had all of it. So the speed is not the point. The speed is the reward. That book could be written in a weekend because I had been preparing to write it for sixteen years without knowing it. The tool did not create the capability. It removed the friction between the capability and the page. Which means the question is not how to write faster. The question is: what have you been carrying that you have never put down? You have something. A body of knowledge nobody else has assembled. A hard-won thing you know that most people around you don’t. It has been sitting there unwritten because writing it felt like a mountain. It is not a mountain any more. One warning. If I had asked the AI to write forty pages about data centres with nothing behind it, I would have produced fluent, confident, hollow nonsense. It would have read beautifully. The first person who actually knew the subject would have taken it apart in a paragraph. The tool amplifies. It does not originate. So the work is still the work. Then move fast, because moments close. If those contracts get signed while I’m polishing chapter three, I’ve written a post-mortem instead of an intervention. The book is free.

Family, I want to share something with you that I have not been able to stop thinking about this week. Everywhere you look, the headlines are about job losses. Companies cutting staff. Whole departments disappearing. It weighs on people. But there is another story happening at the very same time, and hardly anybody is telling it. Right now, more people are starting their own businesses than at almost any point in recent memory. In the US, new business filings are near record highs, and the ones most likely to actually grow are up more than 15% from last year. Here is the part I find most hopeful, and the reason I am sharing it with you specifically. Fewer of these new owners are hiring a big team on day one. They are leaning on AI to carry the load at the start, the marketing, the customer service, the admin, all the work that used to demand staff you could not yet afford. The barrier that kept good ideas small for so long, the one that said you needed a team before you could begin, is coming down. And here is what I keep coming back to. Everything the world is just now discovering about the one person business, we already know. It is how our region has always run. The family shop. The entrepreneur who does it all. You are already living the model everybody else is racing to catch up to. I wrote the full breakdown, including a new Meta tool coming to WhatsApp and exactly how to get ready for it before it lands here. Give it a read when you have a quiet moment. You are already in the room. This is just me making sure you can see what I am seeing. Read the full piece here Curtis Jordan

Someone very close to me spent 3 months looking for suppliers for her business. One never sent a quote, just endless delays. One took 50% deposit and disappeared, a straight fraud. One wasted 2 weeks and went nowhere. All 3 were found by scrolling Facebook. It is easy to blame the platform, but that is not the real lesson. The real problem was that there was no step between finding them and paying them. No verifying. Just a page that looked good and a hope that it was. So we changed the method. We used AI to actually research the options, and the first supplier we found was responsive, invoiced us immediately, easy to reach, and installed what she needed 2 days later at close to a quarter of the price we had been quoted before. Now here is the part I really want you to hold onto, because it is where a lot of people are about to go wrong. AI is not a magic shield against fraud. There are real cases this year of AI recommending cloned scam websites, because criminals plant fake pages for the AI to find. AI can even make up a business that does not exist. So the lesson is not "trust whatever AI says." It is this. The problem was never Facebook. It was trusting without verifying. What AI gives you is the ability to finally do the homework properly, checking reviews across different sources, confirming how long a business has operated, verifying a real address, in minutes instead of days. Then you decide. Try it the next time you need a supplier. Do not stop at the name AI gives you. Ask it to dig, to check, to verify. Let the tool carry the research, and let your own wisdom make the final call. You are already in the room learning this the right way. This is just me making sure you can see what I am seeing.
