What is AI going to do to me?
Happy 4th.
Tonight we’re at a cookout with friends we’ve known most of our lives. Fireworks are planned after.
250 years ago today, a group of people decided to build their own thing instead of living on someone else’s terms. They took on all the risk that came with it.
That’s what this weekend is really about. It just gets lost in the celebration sometimes.
Independence is a big word. We mostly save it for history books and holidays.
But think about what it really means. You decide how you spend your day. You decide who you answer to. You decide what you build with the years you have.
Most of us don’t live that way. We have work that takes our mornings and follows us to the dinner table. A calendar everyone else gets to fill. A list of things we’ll do someday, when there’s time.
I lived that way for most of my working life. Twenty-four years I spent running an agency.
Then something changed, and I don’t think most people have felt the size of it yet. For the first time, one regular person with a computer can do the work that used to take a staff. That kind of independence just got a lot closer for all of us.
Maybe you’re a coach, a business owner, or a department head. Maybe you have an idea for a business you’ve never started. This is for you.
Most of what you’ve heard about AI is noise. And a lot of good people are scared of what it means for them.
We can’t sit around asking, what is AI going to do to me? The real question is, what am I going to do with AI?
Because I think people like us are fighting for the same few things.
Mornings that belong to you. Evenings where the work stays out of sight. The vacation you keep putting off. Being with your kids and grandkids while they’re young. Work you’re proud of, and a life around it.
That’s worth fighting for.
I know because I’m living it. This morning before 6am, my assistant cleaned up my computer, wrote my morning briefing, and did a self audit of my entire life. That was just the part I didn’t see.
Since I sat down, it tracked the food I ate and logged my supplements. Together we planned my whole week, and we lined that week up with who I want to be, not just a pile of tasks. It helped me write this article and send it. It even cleared my weekend, so the next two days are mine.
Now I can choose what I want more of and what I want less of.
And in the evening, I have my friends gathered around me, my laptop is closed and I am focused on what matters to me.
That’s what AI is for. Not writing faster emails. Getting your time back.
I’m teaching a free workshop that shows you how to build this for yourself. Three nights, live with me. July 14, 15, and 16 at 6pm ET. It’s called Capture. Build. Automate. I’ll show you the exact system I use, step by step.
👉 Save your spot here
If you’re a coach, an owner, a department head, or someone with an idea, save your spot below. And if you just want to enjoy the holiday today, do that. The workshop will be there.
