Good Morning SKOOL members. I posted a video today on the topic of using an ai 🤖 recently to help me with a real life how to. Initial comments are very interesting. The LIVE will be talking about the use of ai and our fear or comfort with it. The special guest is BOB, the ai chat bot. 🤣 (seriously, he will be there) Join us on Monday, January 19th at 8:25 pm EST. And here is a special invite for any members of our SKOOL community to come on during the LIVE and share a story or opinion (5-10 mins) on your ai experiences. Simply click on that link after 8:25 pm EST or so and you will enter the "green room" where I will see you are there and bring you on. Try it! https://streamyard.com/b3hu7bx2qu

I've been struggling to get things out and posted recently. I've hit what a writer would call writer's block. So I've been challenged by one of my mentors to post something. Anything, even if it's stupid or silly. Well, I have something I have had finished for over a month now that I just couldn't pull the trigger on. That is until today. So I wanted to share here as well the video that is going to get me started again (I hope). Hope you enjoy it.

I'm sitting in a Starbucks here in Cebu, Philippines. And there's a young person using an Apple Pencil with his iPad. I have an Apple Pencil for use with my iPad, but I tried it once and it just felt difficult and uncomfortable. I asked him to tell me about how he uses it and what he thinks about it. He said the same thing a couple other people told me about the Apple Pencil – that once you get used to it, it's life changing. He's obviously a smart guy as he's in school and studying medicine. I am motivated when I get back later this week to commit to using the pencil with my iPad at least once each day. What is it about sometimes being either stubborn or unwilling to try something new the older we get particularly with new technologies? Are you this way with any either technology or tool you want to use but haven't really learned how to use it? (BTW) I uploaded my newest video on the channel using only the Filmora app on my iPhone. I LIKED it.

So I just signed up for some new courses in Davinci Resolve and as part of those lessons, you get lifetime access to their 'Community'. Well guess what they run this community in? Skool. I thought that was a cool cross over. So if you are interested, it's one of the better Davinci Resolve teachers out there, Casey Faris. Over at GroundControl. They of course have a Black Friday sale up and active right now in case you need some training courses. I do recommend Casey's tutorials. But anyway, just something interesting that just happened.

If you celebrate Christmas or decorate for the holidays there’s obviously only one answer 🌲.
