Last Tuesday, I sat staring at my phone at 11:47 PM, watching a conversation unfold. A potential lead had just kicked off an automated SMS demo on my website. Instead of waiting until morning for my response, they were having a full conversation with my AI agent. They got to give the tech a spin, test how the agent could qualify their customers, and book a call with me. You can Try the Demo Bot Here to see exactly how it works. This SMS conversation happened on their schedule, in their...

Before we started traveling full time, I had a subscription to International Living. I was captivated by the stories of people who left behind the stress of American life and moved abroad to live more simply, affordably, and intentionally. They painted such a cozy picture: slow mornings in seaside towns, fresh food from the market, charming homes for a fraction of U.S. prices. And while some of that has absolutely been true in our experience, there’s a lot they don’t tell you—especially about...

You know how sometimes the best discoveries happen when you're just playing around with new tools? That's what happened to me this week while testing Dia, a new AI browser.

The Prompt That Started Everything While exploring Dia's capabilities, I found this analysis prompt highlighted in their /skills feature. It's for...

I talk a lot about how to finish big projects, but let’s be honest: sometimes the idea of what we could do between now and September’s end feels like too much. So what if we zoom in? What if we just focus on today? When your inbox is overflowing and the day is one mini-crisis after another, it’s easy to put off what you said was most important. Instead, you check things off your list like: gym workout, grocery run, laundry, and dinner prep. Somehow, the thing that matters most gets pushed...

We’re halfway through what still seems like a brand-new year! I'm sitting here taking in the view of the Rio Dulce in Guatemala, clouds hanging over the mountains, sailboats bobbing in the water, and launchas racing along the river. This year has been a whirlwind. We hung out on the beaches in Mexico, anchored at hidden cayes in Belize, wandered through the cobblestone streets of Antigua, and squeezed in a trip back to Texas. Travel was our big goal, and we did it! I met this first week of...

Have you seen the articles floating around online about the dangers of AI? This week, I read an MIT study about "cognitive debt." The premise is that using AI makes us mentally lazy and reduces our ability to think clearly. I don't know about you, but that's not my experience at all. AI doesn't make me feel dumber. It makes me feel smarter than ever. It's like having a business partner who's available 24/7, never gets tired, and helps me expand on ideas I never would have time to develop on...
