seasons always change


For the past few weeks I've been head-down, working hard on three areas of my AI journey:

1) Getting the Hollywood product ready for sale into the agencies and studios out there

2) Doing client work to pay the bills

3) Recruiting a team and getting my new business off the ground

I won't get into all the details - I'll just say that everything is going well, and at this rate I expect to be able to tell you about the beta trial of the new business in December. I really think you'll like it :)

I don't have much else to say right now, but I wouldn't mind listening this week. Feel free to respond to this and tell me what's going on in your life. I haven't interacted much outside of my cave this month, so tell me about your world!

I leave you with the last vestige of autumn at the park by my house. Have a great week, friends . . .

Here's what I'll do: I'll create a list of interesting personal questions at the bottom of this email I will choose 5 to answer here for myself You choose up to 5 of your own, and reply back to me with your answers for yourself This is a way for all of us to have a low-stakes connection opportunity. If I get enough interesting...

I may regret this . . . it remains to be seen, haha 😬 But I think we can afford to give away our full $1,000/month YouBots platform to nonprofits for free, based on the money coming in from regular paying customers.
