Help me unfuck a friend's life

Hey all. Leo here. I got myself into some trouble and need your help getting out of it. I'm sure all of you know Up4TheChallenge.Here he is, talking to me about my ideas just a few days ago: Now, I had been working on a partnership and assumed that I had more pull in that partnership than I did, and long story short, I promised Up that I'd hook him up with a contract that would take care of his mortgage so he'd be fine. And then I presented it to the person I was working with, only to find...

This week, I want to think about AI enhancements to creator businesses. Specifically, I think there's a great opportunity for digital artists to enhance their offerings with AI. Here's how I would run a business if I had graphic design abilities: The Business Model Usually, I think it's pretty common that an artist would charge based on the project. They would create X assets for $Y. These assets would take some amount of time to create, and the artist would charge according to the...

Over the weekend, my wife and I went to an art studio. The artist was putting on something she called a "playshop", and that idea really resonated with me. Our goal: take a block of clay and make a gargoyle or hunky punk (also, I learned what a hunky punk was and how it differs from a gargoyle. Gargoyles are functional and hunky punks are purely decorative). Here's mine: My cute little hunky punk I wasn't sure what to expect going into the studio. My wife had signed us up and told me we were...

What does the future look like? Have you spent much time thinking about it? Or have you focused on the tools that currently exist and worked to have success in today's ecosystem? Here's something to consider: things are changing faster than they ever have before. AI offers capabilities that only the largest companies used to have. When things are used for very specific reasons, there is generally a relatively decent timeline on how things evolve, because large companies have to coordinate...

Ok, let's talk podcasting. There's a lot that goes into making a good podcast. Let's start from the beginning. If I were making a podcast from scratch today, here's the approach I would take. I asked people on Twitter what was stopping them from starting a podcast. Here are a few of the responses I got. "Fears that I am not up to the challenge of making the production value good enough." "on which topic?" "Honestly, probably time and difficulty committing to ONE idea." "Previously there were...

Happy Wednesday! As I get better at using AI to enhance my creative process, I find that I'm able to do all sorts of cool things. Like help my 8-year-old set up his YouTube channel. That's right, AI is making me into a cool dad. (Just kidding, I've always been a cool dad 😎) Weekly Tip Remember the first lesson from the email course? Here's a concrete example. Let's set the scene: My 8-year-old has been obsessed with starting his own YouTube channel. We've been talking about it for a couple of...

Hey there! You're receiving this email because you signed up for the Build In Public Toolkit. If you don't want to receive emails like this, feel free to Unsubscribe. I've been putting together a list of resources/courses for people building in public and there are a couple coming up soon that I thought might be helpful. If you're having trouble writing down your ideas and communicating clearly, I highly recommend checking out Ben Putano's course, Great Founders Write. I've been following him...

Hey there! I'm going to be honest about something. I have a hard time maintaining an email list. I don't get much in the way of responses and therefore it isn't something that my dopamine-seeking ADHD brain thinks about very much. I'm constantly looking for better ways to do things. And I think I've finally figured something out. Communities are similar to email lists for creators. They typically have similar benefits, but I like the fact that I don't have to be the one starting all the...
