Most entrepreneurs fail because they try to do step 2 without doing step 1 first.

AI can pretend to be emotional just like sociopaths can and people people will fall for it just like they fall for sociopaths.

Whatever trait you have is half nature and half nurture. So if you believe you can't change, you're right. If you believe you can, you're also right.

Don't confuse setting boundaries with avoiding responsibility.

These days, prompt engineering is just being able to clearly communicate. And believe it or not, most people can't.

99% truth is the worst kind of lie.

Multi-tasking is a weakness. Focus is the superpower.

You can't truly let go until you let go of your ego.

Write without judgment. Edit without attachment.

Constantly try to prove yourself wrong. That's how you become less wrong.

Trying to be "different" is so cliche.

We act according to the truth we believe. Not the truth we know.

I remember when Gabby Bernstein hired us she said her spirit animal is an owl. Our agency is called Night Owls and somehow she felt connected to us. People will hire you for the weirdest reasons. That's why you should share everything about you.

I honestly didn't expect AI models to get this good. Because LLM's are just pattern recognition machines. They're not critical thinkers. It makes me wonder if 99% of human intelligence is just pattern recognition... coz I think AI can do 99% of desk jobs... right now today.

If you use Wordpress, this includes you.

When it comes to design, you can't have too many cooks in the kitchen. That's how it becomes a hot mess. Using AI is like having a million cooks in the kitchen because it bases design based on million different designs.

If I was starting out, I would NOT learn UI design. I honestly don't think UI designers will be needed in 10 years because nobody's gonna browse websites or apps. They're just gonna talk to it. The future of usability is all about training the model, not the interface design.

Hiding behind vague words are cowardly. Courageous storytellers give the juicy details.
