Been testing Codex for a few days and one thing I liked right away: I used it to comb social media and find clips I can remix and react to. That was the big win for me. Instead of me manually scrolling, saving random posts, and trying to remember what was good later, it helped me sort through content faster and pull out things that were actually usable. It helped me find: - clips worth remixing - clips worth reacting to - patterns in the content - and ideas that were actually worth shooting That made the whole thing way more actionable. Not just:“AI did something cool.” More like: it helped me go from random scrolling to usable content faster. And one thing I think matters if you already use ChatGPT a lot: The transition felt easy because the interface felt familiar. So if you already live inside ChatGPT and have built up a lot of context there, Codex doesn’t feel like some giant leap. It feels more like another useful workflow inside a style of tool you already understand. For me, the bigger takeaway was this: Don’t just consume content and hope you remember what was good. Use AI to help you: - sort through content faster - find clips worth reacting to - find clips worth remixing - and turn what you’re seeing into something you can actually use I included a screenshot of the workflow and it set up in my notion content hub. I plan on doing a training video on it as well. Because the tool is cool. But the workflow is what actually gives you leverage. Let’s build.

Entrepreneurship can get really lonely. Not in a dramatic way. Just in a real way. You’re carrying a lot.Making decisions all the time. Trying to see around corners. Trying to keep momentum. Trying not to overreact. Trying not to get stuck in your own head. And a lot of the time, it feels like it’s just you. That’s why I’ve been thinking a lot about how important it is to have the right people around you. I had my monthly mastermind call recently. There’s five of us total. All entrepreneurs.Some full-time. Some W-2 plus entrepreneurial on the side. We meet once a month and just talk through what’s going on. What we’re working on.Where we’re stuck.What we’re not seeing clearly How we can support each other. What lens we can offer that might help someone move. I met them through GrowthDay / Brendon Burchard’s world, and we’ve stayed close ever since. And every time we get on a call, I’m reminded how valuable it is to have people in your corner who: - actually get it - can challenge your thinking - can encourage you when you’re off - can help you see what you’re missing - can remind you you’re not the only one carrying a lot That kind of support matters. A lot. Because this journey is long. And if you don’t have the right people around you, it gets way easier to: - overthink - isolate - spiral - stay stuck longer than you need to Sounds cliché to say “surround yourself with the right people.” But it’s true. And honestly, the older I get, the more I realize it’s not just about being surrounded by “good people.” It’s about being around people who help you think better, stay grounded, and keep moving. That kind of accountability is a gift. That kind of support system can change a lot. If you have people like that in your life, don’t take it lightly. And if you don’t, I’d start being a lot more intentional about finding them. The road is hard enough. You don’t need to walk all of it alone. Let’s build.
