It’s been a minute since I just… caught you up on life without trying to sell you an AI Agent–building workshop. (Although, if you did come… have you recovered yet?? Because I’m not totally sure I have🤣.)​​Here’s the guilty-pleasure song I played to welcome 200 of you into that very scary arena: Huey Lewis. (I DARE YOU […]

What Mary J. Blige, a $30 babysitter, and an AI Agent have in common

In case you missed Wednesday’s email… I mentioned that I’m about to love bomb your inbox for the next few weeks as I am running a “How to Build Your Own Storytelling AI Agent” workshop at the end of this month…​​Huh what?​​If you want your mind to be actually blown and see how you can turn […]

30 women, 1 Canva logo, and why you don’t need perfect!

Hi there, Because I think in stories I MUST close this loop for you.. (me?)BOTH OF US 🙂 For those following along, I mentioned last week that I was invited to teach to Justin Welsh’s Substack community called “Unsubscribe.” ​Justin is the Corporate → Solopreneur Messiah. He is also the Dodo Bird/Wooly Mammoth example of when […]

What I taught Justin Welsh’s community (and why it matters)

Like most weeks it’s been the best of times.It’s been the “not best” of times:) We kicked off the week with my first police stop in Portugal. I was so confused why I was LITERALLY being chased down a traffic-infested highway that I SPED UP. I thought “Oh I’m in his way” not realizing that […]

My first Portuguese police chase (and other weekly updates)

We celebrated our SECOND year in Lisbon a few weeks back. And because I have zero chill and no one can just enjoy their meal or drink in peace, I made everyone emote.​Nothing like forced feeling talk!! 😍​​“What was your proudest and least proudest moment of Year 2 in Lisbon?!”, I excitedly asked my blank […]

I think I’ve been thinking about business all wrong

Today I’m walking down this path to one of the most beautiful beaches that is 20 minutes from my house.​In my head I was LITERALLY saying to myself as I trailed my family and an extra friend “how lucky am I that I get to come here and also work on a random Friday.” I […]

“You’re always working” (gut punch from my 12yo)

I may be bloated, inflamed in the face from too much sodium (fish & chips + pints on repeat will do that)… and definitely pale. …. But do not sleep on an English summer. It’s underrated. We head back to Lisbon tomorrow after a month of bopping around seaside towns (seriously – where were Cameron and Jude […]

My 9-year-old made me a logo (and other summer updates)

I’m writing this from a pub in the Cotswold’s, a week into being more or less offline. And thankfully have not run into JD Vance who somehow managed to discover one of our favorite British spots as his new holiday hang…🥴 The locals are literally protesting him (war criminal signs abound) and pub staff are refusing […]

What an Oasis concert revealed about my business flaws

Before you read this I’d like you to cue up Dirty Dancing “Time of My Life” IN YOUR BRAIN and watch this video. After three and a half years of talking daily, working together, building together, I FINALLY met my online business manager turned co-founder IRL.​Wiebke. Originally from Germany, hailing from Chile these days and […]

She thought I was smaller (I thought she was taller)

Next week I’m teaching at a university in New Jersey (virtual) in their inaugural AI entrepreneurship class. Aside from the fact that I can’t believe I can add “UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR BOO-YAH SAY WHAT” to my website, the back-and-forth with the school has gotten me thinking. When they first asked me to teach the “AI-Powered Content Creation” module […]
