Howdy!

Every week I share the business projects I’m working on — I’m excited to hang out with you.

I’m asked what tools I use in my business. Here’s my tool list, AI tool list, and money-making ideas to help you with your income stream building. Reply to this email and ask me anything - happy to help. A note: I always use referral links when I have them. I will make a commission if you purchase through the links, so thanks!

I’ve never seen a tool so polarizing.

People are loving or hating Sora, the newest app by OpenAI (creators of ChatGPT).

According to the Sora leader, it passed 1,000,000 users in a week and did it faster than ChatGPT did.

The crazier thing is that this is only North America and only Apple users.

I’m an Android guy (yeah, that’s right 😉)

Last week I watched “Dev Day” from OpenAI.

You can watch my quick video below with some of my thoughts from it.

🤖 Automations

I’m trying to spend as much time as possible on buildling automations (invaluable skills).

Last week I dove in with a new automation tool — Lindy.ai

I’ve already built close to a dozen automations.

I’m realllllyy liking this tool.

One of the newest additions is the ability to fire up an AI agent that can use a web browser and insert it into your workflow.

And you can just describe the type of automation you need and their AI builds it for you.

So far, it’s working really well!

🧑‍💻 My New Software Tool

We’re making some progress on our Google Analytics insights tool.

My developer partner is now able to sign in with his Google account.

It’s a tool to make Google Analytics easier and use AI to help analyze and create insights!

I had the idea because looking at Google Analytics reports are horrific.

I also know that AI is smart enough to help discover some insights from the data.

Can’t wait to get it live — feel free to sign up here to get notified when we go live.

If you have ideas for it as we go, let me know!

Find your next winning ad creative in seconds with AI

Most AI tools promise you thousands of ads at the click of a button. But do you really need more ads—or just better ones?

Kojo helps you cut through the noise. We analyze your paid social data to uncover the ideas with the highest chance of success. Then, our AI predicts which concepts will perform best, so you don’t waste budget testing what won’t work.

Instead of drowning in endless variations, Kojo sends your best idea straight to a real human creator who makes it engaging, authentic, and ready to win on social. The entire process takes less than 20 seconds, giving you certainty before you spend and better performance without the waste.

Why gamble on guesswork or settle for AI spam when you can launch ads proven to work, made by people, and backed by data?

Amazon Influencer Program [Update]

I’ve made more than $2,500 in 2025.

I periodically make videos for brands that reach out, and I charge them (so I get paid there as well).

But, some updates…

I have 141 147 videos.

(plus 90 videos from other creators..)

My total earnings equal $4,752.19 $5,303.31

After expenses, I’m making $103.25 $107.34 per hour.
