One at a time, the monthly software subscriptions you pay for will be cannibalized.

$20/month for scheduled social media posting? Gone.

$30/month for an HTML email composer? No need.

One by one, basic functionality SaaS products will be eaten and replaced by AI.

For low-effort internet marketers, this is a bad thing.

But for you? You’ll push the limits of a few trusted tools and realize you can do more than you ever thought possible.

There are many things I don’t like or want.

There are many things that I would never buy, even if I had all the money in the world.

We’re tempted to think of these things as “dumb”, because we don’t want them.

But many of the things we think of as stupid are just not for us—they’re not stupid for someone else.

I’ve recorded well over 200 interviews, created thousands of pieces of content, and over 400 YouTube videos. But what did I learn four years ago?

I’d have to sit through thousands of hours of audio, and who has that kind of time?

But now, with AI, I’m able to catalog all the transcripts of my past interviews, all my blog posts, and every script I’ve ever written. Thousands of original pieces in all.

And over the past couple of weeks, I’ve created a custom AI chatbot that can, say, create a script idea from something three different people talked about three years ago…

We’re sitting on a goldmine of our own, untapped history.

Now, we can recapture immense value that once felt lost forever.

You know the drill… Traveling through an airport yet again, with your backpack on and rolling 1-2 bags behind you.

Probably not our most fun moments, all things considered.

But remember this: Not long ago, suitcases didn’t have wheels. Look at photos of people in Ellis Island, and they’re all holding giant bags in their hands, like suckers!

With the wheel being one of humankind’s most primitive inventions, it’s hard to believe that we were that dumb for that long.

No one thought to put a wheel on bags for thousands of years, until 1970?

We like to believe that every good idea has already been done before. But rest assured, every day we are doing things that future generations will look on as incomprehensibly stupid.

I got the idea for this daily blog from Philip Morgan’s The Positioning Manual for Indie Consultants.

“…write and publish (to an email list) short daily articles about the intersection between what is interesting to you and what is important to your audience.”

“Doing this for at least 90 days is a transformative journey.”

Well, I found what’s interesting to ME, that’s for sure. But the audience is mostly inside my head and whoever will listen to me ranting and jabbering under the overpass.

Still, forcing the daily action has been fun, and it’s grown me in unexpected ways.

I’ve written every post by hand (no AI here), but I’ve devised a complicated automatic publishing system with Airtable, make.com, and OpenAI to completely automate every other part of the process (which I’ll create a video about if anyone’s interested).

I’ve had to clarify my thoughts and get things down.

I’ve learned that text posts on LinkedIn without an image that shows your face go nowhere.

And I’ve come to realize for the 10000th time that what is interesting to me is at the very least interesting to me. (My mom left the chat 85 posts ago).

I’m a weird dude who can’t stop thinking about the future while making jokes and listening to deep house music. And I’m simply going to have to make peace with the inescapable fact that I am indeed, a weirdo.

If you want to clarify your own thoughts, I recommend the journey, and to read his book.
