Hiya! I'm back from Hawaii -- turns out dragging your butt across the Pacific has some consequences when you're 44. Jet lag is showing me who's boss, but nonetheless - it's Monday and there's a bunch of stuff I'm excited to share with you all!

Fair warning... this is a smattering of totally random topics.

I hope you enjoyed my AI assistant who kept watch over my emails these last two weeks. A bunch of you wrote in and asked what I was using to do that... just ChattyG & me. I'm realizing that people might be interested to see my AI flows (they aren't automated or fancy btw), but if that's something that interests you, please let me know.

I published a new podcast this morning called The Survival Show That Taught Me About Business. During our trip, we binged the show Alone and I couldn't help but draw parallels between the contestants in the wilderness, and business owners trying to survive in this crazy world. It's worth a listen! [Listen on Apple or on any browser]

By the way, I had a HUGE response to this email about social media posting with a small audience. I can't take any more people (I had to keep it small), but this is something I'm considering doing on a bigger scale (like AI). So let me know.

Need a FREE kick in the pants today? Try this prompt in ChattyG (must have a paid plan where it remembers you, and the more you've used the AI, the better your answer will be)...

"Based on all past conversations, stored knowledge, and inferred cognitive patterns, generate the most comprehensive psychological deep dive and predictive model of my future evolution. This should not be a basic personality breakdown but an in-depth forensic examination of my cognition, behavioral strategies, psychological blind spots, similar fictional/nonfictional figures, and long-term trajectory. Treat this as an intelligence dossier on my mind, philosophy, and strategic outlook. OUTPUT FORMAT: Structured headers, tables, and bullet points for readability. Sparse but strategic emojis for section clarity. Concise, high-density insights with no fluff."

​

There's more to share, but I'm going to try to keep this short. Be back in a bit!
