No one talks about how Bluesky is one of the few social media platforms where you have a feed that's just people you follow.
No ads.
No sponsored posts.
No suggested accounts.
Just people you actually want to see.
A fantastic reprieve from the hellscape that is modern social media.
“Here are 7 AI prompts to help you…”

Most people spend their entire lives waiting for “someday.”
But one day, you'll be out of somedays.
You could wait until you feel ready, or you could start imperfectly today.
Calling it now:
People are going to start intentionally misspelling stuff to prove AI didn't write it.
Imperfection is the new black.

Latest episode of the Creator Alchemy podcast just dropped.
We cover:
• The psychology of camera confidence (and why your gear doesn’t matter)
• Navigating the insecurities of entrepreneurship
• What holds people back from sharing their ideas
• Why authenticity beats perfection every time
• + more
If people put half as much time and energy into trying to understand themselves as they do trying to understand AI, the world would be 10X better.
Time is our most precious resource, and I want to make every episode worth your time.
My goal with the Creator Alchemy podcast is to share psychological insights to help you transform your business, your life, and yourself.
So you can make the most of the time you have and live your best life.
When was the last time you listened to a podcast and actually walked away better?
Here's a comment a listener left on a recent episode on procrastination that made my day:
😂
I read that middle age actually starts in your mid-30's. "No way," I thought. "I'm 36 and fit as a fiddle."
Then last week, I sneezed too hard and pulled a muscle in my back. I could barely move the rest of the day.
So yeah, I guess 36 is middle aged after all.

Big News: The Creator Alchemy Podcast is now live!
Its purpose is simple:
Share psychological insights to help you transform your business, your life, and yourself.
You can find it on your favorite podcast player now, but I'll put links below.
Fun Fact: You can just call yourself "world-renowned."
Nobody ever checks.
Most talk about doing the work.
Few actually do the work.
Procrastination is putting the burden of taking action onto an imaginary future version of yourself who’s somehow magically become disciplined.
"Nothing under the sun is greater than education. By educating one person and sending him into the society of his generation, we make a contribution extending a hundred generations to come."

But until people are ready to join, they'll still get a ton of value out of the newsletter welcome sequence.
Not every one of your subscribers will become a customer. But every one of your subscribers should become an evangelist for you and your content because they get so much value out of it.
"I know I have something valuable to share, and I want to step into that fully."
The Creator Alchemy Lab is a community for ambitious creators taking bold action to transform their businesses, their lives, and themselves.
Because increasingly in a world where content is a commodity, we all need a community of people on the same journey so we can get/give the support and accountability we need to succeed.
A recent member summed up the reason people join pretty well:
Give your best stuff away. Help as much as you can. Be your authentic self.
Also, these aren't sales emails. They're legitimately just front-loaded value.
The only thing I "sell" in these emails is The Creator Alchemy Lab in the footer.
People don't have short attention spans, they have a low tolerance for bullshit.
As long as they're getting value and enjoying the journey, they'll stick with you.
This is how you build your reputation.
This is how you build resonance.
This is how you build trust.
Obsess over building your reputation, not over email subject lines.
Here's a screenshot of the first 7 of a 16-day course I give as a gift for subbing to my newsletter.
My goal: If you read nothing else I write, as long as you read these, you'll have the foundation to succeed in life and business.
Yes, we talk about business strategies. But mostly, we focus on the psychology and mindset of what it takes to succeed as a creator--to navigate fear and burnout, to unlock creativity and innovation, and to build an authentic and values-aligned life and business.
Most gurus will tell you to only do a 3-5 day sequence because people fatigue.
False.
After sending it for the last 12+ months, I haven't seen a significant decline over the entire 16-day sequence. That's over two weeks of daily emails that people continue to open.
