Hey everyone, my name is Alexis. Based in CA. I'm here because I'm looking to learn more about AI automation and connect with people building in this space I've hid from the embarrassment of my lows but I think I've come to realize that the sooner I own up to it, and speak it, the faster I can move on because shit is not that deep and its all apart of the game. Also sharing this because I wanna know if anyone has gone thru something similar Last year at 19, I was super blessed to have closed out the year having made close to 6 figures as an appointment setter. Straight out of high school. I remember the first time I saw $12k month hit my account, feeling was aboustley surreal. My parents dont even make that amount of money in 3 months. I bought my dream first car, a 2019 Mercedes E-Class. I'd park it and just stare at it for a second before walking away. Went on several vacations. I wasn't living the super luxurious lifestyle you see on IG but I was living one that I would've never thought was possible while I was in HS. Needless to say, huge accomplishment of mine. Id always wanted to start my own agency since the beginning but the money was too good to just leave + I knew I would have to leave my lifestyle/ego behind lol. But start of 2026, business unfortnuely slowed. One of the offers I was working shut down completely, that left me dependent on my other offer which moved slower than I wanted. I was bummed and could've scrambled to find another gig and keep the lifestyle going but like I said I always wanted to start an agency so I took it as a sign to finally start. I sold everything. The car's gone. No safety net. Ego is gone lol. Not gonna lie it's humbling as hell. But now I'm all in on the one thing I should've started a year ago So yeah curious if anyone has ever walked away from something that was working just fine because you knew it wasnt your thing or if youre in that spot right now, id love to connect! I'm building an AI automation agency for home service businesses (still v early) and would genuinely appreciate the follow if you want to see where this goes.

You guys know how KJ helped us set up Claude Co-Work in the first long video and explained how to use it efficiently? Then in the second video, he set up Obsidian with Claudeion and showed the whole second-brain workflow. I’m kind of confused about what we’re actually supposed to use each one for. I tried linking Claudian from Obsidian with my Claude Co-Work setup, but they can't be connected together, so now I’m not really understanding the difference between the two systems or how they’re meant to work together. Claude Co-Work already feels insanely powerful and can do a huge amount of work by itself, but the Obsidian + Claudeion second-brain setup KJ showed also looked crazy useful. I just don’t fully understand how KJ uses them differently in practice. So what are you guys mainly using Claude Co-Work for, and what are you using Claudian/Obsidian for? Also, are they supposed to work together somehow, or are they more like separate systems with different purposes?

Hi KJ just started your YT video on Claude. Many thx in advance.🙏
