🧠 AI Is Teaching Me to Think Differently 🧠 One thing I’ve been noticing lately is how AI isn’t just helping me do things faster it’s helping me learn in a completely new way. Instead of waiting for the “perfect moment” to start something, I can experiment in real time, iterate quickly, and learn by doing. It’s made me more curious, more consistent, and honestly more confident in trying things I would’ve overthought before. Whether it’s drafting ideas, exploring new skills, translating tone across languages, or breaking down complex concepts, AI has become this flexible partner that adapts to whatever I’m working on. It’s like having a creative sounding board that never gets tired of brainstorming. I’m really enjoying this shift toward learning in public sharing experiments, refining workflows, and seeing how others are using AI in ways I never would’ve imagined. I’d love to hear from the community: What’s something AI has helped you learn or explore that you might not have tackled otherwise?

In 2025, I’ve been as transparent as possible. I’ve told you about my personal wins and losses, but I’ve also told you about the burnout. At 320 hrs, I hit a wall so hard I got depressed for a weekend and didn't even go to dinner for Thanksgiving with my family. Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to ignore the fake Gurus on social media who claim they made millions but never show you the struggle, the grief, and the difficult setbacks that happen daily behind the scenes. I know many of you are working 9-5 jobs. You see me clocking 400 hours since the Summit on Nov 6th and you think, "I can't do that." You’re right. Maybe you can't. Everyone is different! I am in a position to spend this amount of time to explore and learn at a faster rate, and I know not everyone has that kind of time right now. I am building a company from the ground up, so I have the "luxury" of obsession. But I would really luv everyone to save real time by learning from my mistakes. But here is the COLD HARD TRUTH: You cannot build a 2026 life with 2020 habits. Whether you have 40 hours a week or 40 minutes a day, if you are doing manual data entry or writing emails from scratch, you are dragging an anchor. As a former Marine, I treat this like a battlefield: We either adapt or we die. It's that simple. Let AI pull the weight. Let’s be honest: Learning AI is easier said than done! What I learned in 2025 was that it takes consistent discipline and awareness to use it efficiently. You will have setbacks, especially if you start vibe coding. You won't save time in the beginning! You will spend time learning the AI curve. I lost about 100 hours to headaches and setbacks. But being obsolete in 2 years is a struggle I refuse to accept. I chose the struggle of study and using AI over the struggle of regret. Does the grind work? YES, In fact, just 15 days after the AI Summit on November 6th, 2025, I acquired an investor/partner who saw the value in the AI workflows I was building. We opened a joint account, and I was funded in less than 30 days—not because I asked for money, but because the AI output was undeniable. In just two months, I still use both main LLMs, but for my "brain work" I switched from ChatGPT to Gemini Pro and took advantage of googles ecosystem which is better in my opinion!

Most people start to coast this time of year. They tell themselves they’ll get serious again in January, that they’ve earned the break. But the truth is, how you finish this year determines how you start the next. Momentum doesn’t magically appear on January 1st. It’s built right now, in the moments when no one’s watching and everyone else is slowing down. The way you show up in these final weeks says everything about the kind of year you’re creating ahead. Because anyone can start strong, but few have the grit to finish stronger. So while others are taking their foot off the gas, you double down. You sharpen your focus. You look for leverage, the tools, systems, and strategies that multiply your results without multiplying your effort. Because winning isn’t about working harder anymore. It’s about finding your unfair advantage. So let me ask you this: What’s the one thing you can commit to finishing in these final weeks that will set you up for a powerful new year?
