If you make thumbnails, ad creative or any graphics with AI, you're probably paying per image. I was. We ran every image through an API, and each thumbnail cost me about $5, because the AI generates one, reviews it, throws it out and goes again. Five to ten rounds per thumbnail. Then I found out image generation is included inside the Codex app. No API key, nothing per image. It's part of the ChatGPT plan you're already paying for. So now I tell it to make three thumbnails, and it goes away for 13 minutes. It researches what's working, generates, catches its own mistakes and redoes the bad ones. I only see the finished product. Cost: $0. If you run Facebook ads or post content every day, that adds up fast. It's a glitch, honestly. If enough people hammer it I think they change the rules, so use it while it's open. That's one of three things I moved from Claude Code to Codex. The other two are in the new video, including how we built CLIs for every cold email tool we use.

Hi, I wanted to tell you how my meeting with Terri went today. He joined on time, but when I greeted him, he said he didn’t remember who I was. I introduced myself and mentioned the three concepts I had sent. At first, he thought they were about his website, so I clarified that they were for his Meta ads. I said I thought they could test more ad creatives. He replied that he would ask his current agency to do that. When I asked about his CPA, he said he would need to ask the agency. I also brought up offering more colors for the boots, but he said he didn’t have the budget for that. I lost confidence and ended the call early. I know I didn’t handle it well. Right now, I feel like I’m not good at sales calls, and I’m thinking about moving to a business that doesn’t require this kind of interaction. I’d appreciate your honest thoughts.

Hey guys, we're looking to hire for the LGJ team. You'll work directly under me and my team. If you're a savage, want to learn, are detail oriented, and care about driving results for clients, shoot me a DM. This is not for beginners. Agency experience is required. You will be client facing.

I've seen some good advice there from @leonardo-orihuela-8122 and @mkhuzaima-afzal-6901. Still curious to see if anyone else is dealing with this and fixed it. Maybe hear some strategies from @Jay Feldman , @Jordan Wiseman or whoever is used to deal with this? At this point it looks like a global issue right now. My client campaigns were 100% microsoft inbox rate just weeks ago. Now you won't get over 0% inbox rate even for something as simple as "hey will you be on the meeting tomorrow?" one-line type of emails. Not a copy issue. Tested this as well on other mailboxes i haven't used for months, still warming up daily. 0% outlook. 100% google. I'm considering buying Outlook mailboxes soon. Though I'm not sure if it will fix anything? Getting more clarity would be great.

Has anyone managed to improve deliverability to Microsoft accounts recently? I’ve tried practically everything: Outlook to Outlook Google to Outlook Heavy spintax Low sending volumes I’ve tried everything imaginable. Even so, I’m still seeing results that are significantly worse than those with Google or other ESPs. Have you found a strategy that actually works in 2026 to improve deliverability to Microsoft? Or do you think cold emailing Microsoft accounts has become so restrictive that it’s no longer worth it as a prospecting channel? I’m interested in hearing about your real experiences, tools, configurations, or changes that have made a difference.
