Hey guys - First of all I apologize for anyone who was planning on attending the New Member Onboarding Call today. I had to cancel due to a chaotic week of a family death on Friday and unexpectedly putting our dog down last night 💔 I appreciate all of you for understanding and 2026 will be a great year for this community! I have a lot of good things planned. I hope you all have a great Christmas/Holiday Season with your families ❤️

My latest video breaks down how to design high-quality YouTube thumbnails with AI. I show my processes with Google's Nano Banana Pro, ChatGPT, and a new tool called Thumio. Be sure to like/comment/share if you found this helpful ❤️

Hey, I'm Antonio, based in Helsinki. I run Google Ads campaigns and do SEO work, plus trying to get two businesses off the ground (agency + travel company). The travel one is basically me being stubborn about a market I know well. AI tools have become my unfair advantage for research, ad testing, content workflows, basically anything repetitive. Though half the time I'm still figuring out if I'm using them right. Excited to learn from what everyone's actually doing here, not just what sounds good on paper. I'll try to join Ryan's meetups when the timezone works out... Thanks for having me. Antonio

After the last online meetup, I was trying to track down where I’d read about Gemini integrating with NotebookLM. This looks to be the piece I had in mind:https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/googles-gemini-now-integrates-seamlessly-with-notebooklm-for-improved-project-management I’ve not tried it myself yet, so I can’t speak to real-world use cases or where it saves time. If you test it, let us know what you used it for and what worked (or didn’t).

Hey Marketing Insiders! Ryan delivered some seriously actionable content during the past few weeks. Here's what matters for YOUR business implementation. 🔥 This Week's Content & Action Items: Best Ways to Make Money With AI (with Sabrina Ramonov) Ryan sat down with an AI millionaire and broke down the actual pathways that work. Not theory — real revenue models with real numbers. Your implementation opportunity: Pick ONE monetization path from this video and build a 30-day test. AI avatars for lead gen (like @Mukul Singh is doing), backlink automation for SEO agencies, or content systems that scale. Ship something in 30 days. 5 Reasons Why I'm Using Google Gemini Over ChatGPT This hit 1,193 views with nearly 6% engagement because people are actively migrating tools right now. @Rod Macbeth even shared the exact prompt to extract Custom GPT instructions and move them to Gemini. Your implementation opportunity: If you're paying for multiple AI tools, test the migration. Rod's prompt works. Could save you $20-60/month while maintaining output quality. How to Build Backlinks With AI (100% Automated) Backlinker AI placed Ryan on DR82-94 sites (GoBankingRates, Yahoo Finance, ConsumerAffairs) for $300/month vs $1000s in agency spend. That's a 70%+ cost reduction with better domain authority. Your implementation opportunity: If you're doing any SEO or content marketing, test one backlink tool this month. Use code RYANDOSERAI for 50% off first month of Backlinker AI. ChatGPT Images: New Free AI Image Model OpenAI dropped a new image model for free accounts. @Carol M immediately tested it with reward hacking visualizations. @Catherine Eadie is using it for Nano Banana prompt challenges. Your implementation opportunity: Swap one paid image tool for ChatGPT's free model this week. Test quality on your actual workflows before canceling anything, but the cost savings could be significant. 🎯 The community is shifting from "what can AI do?" to "here's what I built."
