Let's name it: most of us are using AI and getting output that sounds like everyone else's. That's not a tool problem. It's a direction problem. AI can produce, but it can't decide what you stand for, how your brand should look, or why someone should choose you. That part is still yours, and it's the part that gets you seen. That's why I'm pointing you to The Director's Summit, a free three-day virtual event hosted by Denesha Davenport. When: October 13–15, 1–4 PM ET (10 AM–1 PM PT) daily Where: Virtual Cost: Free The sessions cover: • Building a clear strategy and point of view • Creative direction vs. generic prompting • Visual identity and brand DNA • Turning creative skills into client work • Scalable systems and automation • Consistent, signature output at scale If you lead a nonprofit, ministry, practice, or mission-driven business, this is three afternoons on making AI sound and look like you.

Hi ElevatAI family, I want to be transparent with you: I'm under the weather right now and need to take a couple of days to rest and recover so I can show up for you at full strength. With that in mind, I'm rescheduling this week: Tonight's One Demo Away session is postponed. Tomorrow's VIP session is postponed. We'll pick things right back up on Thursday with our Premium session as planned. Thank you for your grace and understanding. Taking care of ourselves so we can lead well is part of the work too, and I'm grateful to be building alongside a community that gets that. I'll be back and ready to move. Rest up if you need it, keep the momentum going, and I'll see you Thursday. Clarity First. AI Second. Momentum Always.™ Dr. Poinsetta Tillman

We've spent August THINKING about, designing, and building our Lead Capture Machines. This week, we're doing something different. We're going to find out whether we can actually get people INTO them. Welcome to the: 🔥 7-Day Lead Generation + Capture Challenge This is NOT another week of Lead Capture training. This week is about: 👀 Getting visible 💬 Starting conversations 🎯 Making clear invitations 🚀 Driving real people into your Lead Capture Machine 📊 Tracking what actually happens 🧠 Learning what works OUR GOAL By Sunday, you should be able to answer: -What did I do to generate interest? -How many people entered my Lead Capture Machine? -What worked? -Where did people drop off? -What should I do more of next week? 🛠️ WAIT — MY MACHINE ISN'T FINISHED! You're still in. But here's the rule: You are NOT spending another week redesigning. Use Day 1 to finish the minimum viable path: LEAD ENTERS → INFORMATION CAPTURED → CONFIRMATION → CLEAR NEXT STEP Get it usable. Then get into the challenge. YOUR RULE FOR THE WEEK -ONE audience. -ONE offer/entry point. -ONE desired next step. -No building seven different funnels. -No changing platforms. -No chasing another AI tool. We're going to USE what we've already built. ⏱️ Plan for about 15–30 focused minutes per day. 📥 Download the Challenge Tracker inside the Premium & VIP Classroom sections 🔥 If you're participating, comment: I'M IN — PUT THE MACHINE TO WORK! 🚀

Family, this one's time-sensitive, so I want to make sure it reaches you. Manus (the AI agent tool) is separating from Meta and returning to operating as an independent company. As part of that transition, some user data is being deleted between August 23 and August 25 unless it's backed up first. If you've built tasks, workflows, or connected accounts inside Manus, this affects you. THE DEADLINE THAT MATTERS FOR US: the official cutoff is 7:59 a.m. Aug 23 Singapore time — which is Saturday, August 22 at 7:59 PM Eastern. After that, Manus goes offline for affected regions until restoration opens Monday evening (Aug 24, ~8 PM ET). WHO'S MOST AT RISK: anyone whose Manus account was created after Dec 29, 2025, or who changed their account email recently — those accounts can be fully deleted, not just trimmed. Everyone else may lose task data and connectors created after that date. WHAT TO DO (takes a few minutes): 1) Go directly to manus.im and log in on desktop (not mobile). 2) Open the Data Backup Tool at manus.im/backup. 3) Generate your backup and export it to Google Drive or OneDrive so you have a clean copy. 4) If you log in with Facebook only, add another login method first, or you won't be able to back up. PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELF — read this part twice: because this is a real event, bad actors are sending look-alike "urgent backup" emails with fake links. Do not click links inside any email about this. Go to manus.im yourself, by typing it in. Real companies won't lose anything if you take the safe route. If you're not sure whether you're affected, drop a comment below and we'll walk through it together. We move with clarity, not panic. 💛
