Im finally about to launch my first digital product. It has indeed been a journey.
I could of done it faster for sure but it would of been something different. But playing around in this realm of content Creation and also just learning more has brought me to this point. Im curious to see where it goes next.
The starting point was your writers bootcamp over 1 year ago now. Im grateful for that. 🙏
I guess I am just a luddite cause the thought that the only way to financial success nowadays is to turn yourself into a brand and sell yourself on social media is profoundly depressing to me. We were not meant to live like this. Social media was a mistake that is actively destroying humanity. The so called attention economy is an abberation that is unsustainable long term. AI will soon destroy whats left of the internet flooding it with fake bots, so I guess this problem will eventually solve itself.
" If you can't make your first few dollars within 30 days, you are absolutely doing the wrong things, and at that point, your problems are emotional regulation and focus. Solve those."
I've done digital marketing, products, ebooks all work a.i...... what I've learned is it's is all done with technology (a.i) and not edited by you... it's not authentic.. no one will buy...
An insightful post. It's very important to create or build something, and digital assets are key in today's digital age. Basically, it will be a creator's economy, and one needs to build skills around it. Typically, it's easier to build something in which you already have some domain knowledge and exposure, so it's best to start there. Thus, one should be able to build digitally. I believe we do need to know technology and social media too, as it's important to have a personal brand. With digital, you get global access.
Nobody cares about your niche, they care about your point of view.
You escape competition through your perspective. Your unique combination of experiences, interests, and opinions.
That's how you future-proof yourself against AI (in my humble opinion).”
One must be a decent writer in order to optimize this wisdom. I’m working on it.
I appreciate your experience and recommendation to keep going forward - even as we stumble and fail forward - we can count it as investment in our being unique in our authenticity.
“The best things in life are on the other end of suffering that you choose to take on.”
With the emphasis on “suffering that you choose.” Good things can come after suffering you didn’t choose. But to reach great things, you have to be brave enough to choose suffering.
lol so I signed up for your class! Bring on the suffering.
I have decided to do this. My question is would it be possible to add the 99 dollar up AI future proof after the 19th of August? I am checking my options to maximize what little capital I have these days. Recently divorced here. Thanks
LOVE the liberal arts list you listed, and the need to have a vehicle to develop those skills. The best learning and development never happens inside a classroom. It happens when you’re building something.

DUDE. <3
What an interesting post. So to summarise the skills we should focus on building are:
Agency: choosing and acting with purpose
Investment: growing what you already have
Logic: connecting facts to find truth
Psychology: understanding what people want
Research: finding facts about unknowns
Rhetoric: persuading and spotting persuasion
Statistics: making sense of the numbers
Is this AI?
Finally took the leap to build something I knew I wanted. This article hit just in time!

Love this. Avoiding competing with the masses is 🔥
I am really learning a lot from you Dan. Thank you so much for the enlightening content you keep on sharing.

I love this. This line really resonated:

So, I'm a paid member - is this $150 on top of the yearly membership I've already paid? 🤔
