One thing I’ve learned the hard way: It’s really difficult to feel gratitude and anger at the same time. Not impossible. But difficult. Because whatever emotion you feed tends to shape the lens you see your life through. When you stay stuck in frustration long enough, your brain starts scanning for more proof that things aren’t working. More proof that people are disappointing. More proof that you’re behind. And the scary part is… you’ll find it. But gratitude shifts your focus completely. Not fake positivity. Not pretending hard things aren’t real. I mean intentionally zooming out long enough to remember: • what’s still working • what you’ve already overcome • what opportunities are still in front of you • who’s still in your corner • how far you’ve actually come The people who build great businesses and great lives aren’t the people who never get frustrated. They’re the people who don’t stay there. They know how to reset their perspective before resentment becomes their identity. And honestly, this matters even more as entrepreneurs because this journey will give you endless reasons to focus on what’s broken. The algorithm changed. Sales slowed down. Someone copied your idea. A launch flopped. A partnership fell apart. People unsubscribed. Cool. Welcome to building something meaningful. But if you lose your ability to access gratitude in the middle of the mess, this game gets really heavy really fast. So here’s the question: What’s something in your life right now that you were once praying for… but have slowly started treating as normal?

Most if not all of us in this group know that AI is not a fad. And a lot of us wish we can learned to use some of these tools sooner. Having said that, there are still A LOT of people who are still doing tasks that could either be eliminated or made a lot easier by using AI. I don't want to try to scare people into learning AI. I want to encourage curiosity by sharing the benefits of using it. My challenge to you: have one conversation this week with someone less AI literate than we in this community are. Convey actual time saved, or project accomplished wins to get more people on the boat, so we don't leave them behind on the dock. Challenge accepted?

I have a genuine experiment question for this group. 🧡 I’ve been showing up here pretty intentionally for the last several weeks — commenting, sharing thoughts, asking better questions, and trying to add real value where I can. Somewhere along the way, I ended up on the leaderboard, which is fun… but the leaderboard isn’t really the point. The point is: is the value actually landing? So I’d love to know: Has anything I’ve shared, commented, asked, or written here helped you think differently? Did something I said make you feel seen, inspired, clearer, braver, or more curious about using AI in your actual life? I’m treating this whole season as an experiment in showing up with value, not just noise. So if something landed for you, I’d genuinely love to hear what it was. Data matters. Impact matters more. 🧡

Is there going to be another AI summit coming up? If so, are the dates available, or still to be determined?

When two smart people who believe they can do anything they set their minds to have a phone call they come up with a grand plan to get their goals on the calendar ASAP. See you soon @Junior Sampson @Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi @Igor Pogany
