Hey Reader, During one of my daily rounds of AI research this week, I ran across a tutorial on how to create a master prompt to use with ChatGPT. The idea was simple: Ask ChatGPT (or any LLM) to interview you, gather information about your writing style and tone, your brand identity, and ongoing work projects, and combine it all into a single document. You could then upload the resulting PDF each time you start a new chat. As a daily AI user, it seemed like overkill since those concepts are...

I know I normally talk about ways to work from anywhere, how to stay productive, and how to automate your business with AI. Today I want to chat about why it’s important to me to have a business that only requires a laptop and a good internet connection. And why I want that for you, too. My husband and I dreamed for years about living abroad before we finally took the leap, sold most of what we owned, and bought a sailboat. This month, it’s been a year since we left the United States to...

I’ve noticed changing sentiment about AI.There are still YouTube videos screaming that you can make a million bucks, but many are already tired of it.Tired of robotic AI voices…Tired of strange videos…Tired of sloppy writing.However, I don’t want to let all the noise distract us from the opportunity in front of us.It’s a rare gift to stand at the beginning of something truly transformative.Many of us remember the early Internet years, when building a website was hard work and it wasn’t much...

When you live or travel abroad, online security shouldn’t be something you think about only after something goes wrong. I’m still learning, but at its best, it simply becomes part of your routine. Back in Belize, an ATM decided to keep my card. There wasn’t any fraud or user error; it was just a machine that didn’t like foreign cards. I couldn’t get the card back, and I couldn’t replace it until I got back to the U.S. three months later. I had backups, but it reminded me how quickly something...

Last month, during a two-week trip to Panama, I woke up to an email that made my stomach drop: Your LinkedIn password has been updated. The problem? I hadn't changed it. My profile was wiped clean: profile photo, banner, featured section, and work history. What followed was a week-long chore to prove my identity, recover my account, and rebuild everything from scratch. I'm not careless with security. However, I had an old email address tied to a domain I'd let expire. Someone bought that...

Last week, I didn’t send out a newsletter. I had it ready to go, but it didn’t feel right when I heard the news about Charlie Kirk. The topic of online security seemed trivial alongside the news of his death… a school shooting… a metro stabbing… and the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In fact, it still does. So today, I want to talk about purpose. How do we live life full-out, leaving nothing in reserve? How do we serve others and leave a legacy? Purpose finds you while you are...

Life is not a checklist. Deep down, each one of us knows we are the hero of our own story. Yet we often find ourselves running the same race as our peers and operating on society’s timeline. Here are a few things that help me clear away the clutter, do work that matters to me, and live the life I want. Make your bed. You know those elaborate morning routine posts? Wake up at 5 a.m., meditate for 20 minutes, journal for 10, work out, make a green smoothie, read for 30 minutes... Sigh. It...

A few winters ago, we were skiing in Breckenridge when I noticed a boy in a beginner class on the bunny slope. Somehow, instead of properly taking a seat at the bottom, he grabbed the t-bar with one hand. Wide-eyed and panicked, he held on and screamed, "Help me!" over and over as it dragged him uphill. His instructor didn't rush to rescue him. Instead, in the most deadpan voice, she shouted back: "Let go!" That's it. The solution: let go. I think about that moment often, especially in...

You’ve only got a couple of days to get in before OfferLab goes public next week. This isn’t your typical product launch, and it’s not all hype. Russell Brunson (of ClickFunnels fame) is opening the doors early for JV partners which means you can be part of this pre-launch before the rest of the world sees it. If you’ve seen launches before and thought, “Here we go again,” I get it. This one is different, and here’s why… What makes OfferLab different OfferLab makes earning online simpler and...
