From Loading Hay to Loading Prompts: My Week in the Wild West of AI

6min Read | Watch | Listen

Hey there, Tech Wranglers!

Well, the grass in the fields ain't ready for cutting, but apparently my life was ready for a major plot twist.

My family just got a horse.

Yep, you read that right. After two years of my wife manifesting this four-legged dream into reality, we're now proud owners of a beautiful paint (that’s a breed of horse). And let me tell you, going from city slicker to horse caretaker has been... an experience.

Why You Should Care:

• AI for Self-Discovery: How to use AI as your personal growth coach (with the right boundaries)

• Scam Alert: $15,000 publishing scam caught by ChatGPT – plus why fraud just got way more dangerous

• Matrix Exit Strategy: Why successful people are the most trapped (and how to build your escape route before the system wobbles)

From DJ Decks to Horse Stalls

Picture this: One minute I'm mixing beats, the next I'm loading 90 bales of hay because that's apparently what horse hubbies do.

My wife grew up with horses, bonded with them through her childhood, and my daughter is absolutely smitten. So when the universe aligned and we found the perfect horse, there was no saying no.

The catch? We don't have a barn yet. So our new family member is boarding at a friend's place where my wife volunteers, and now we're planning to build our own barn.

Because apparently when you get one horse, you need more horses. And when you have horses, you need boots. And probably a cowboy hat.

I'm seriously considering if there's a way to DJ at rodeos. Gotta diversify the skill set, right?

Beyond The Matrix OS: Breaking Free from Society Traps

Speaking of unexpected turns, I spent 15 years clawing my way out of every trap society set for me.

Now I can shortcut that path for you in 12 weeks.

I've been building something called "Beyond The Matrix" - a program that gets you outside the system before it collapses on you. I shared it with some close friends this week, and let's just say they're ready to sign up yesterday.

This isn't for everyone. It's for people who are fed up with the current state of things. Whether you're stuck in corporate groupthink, political discourse that goes nowhere, or health traps that keep you spinning your wheels.

The reality? If you consider yourself successful and you've made good money, you might be blind to all the layers of subversion happening in society designed to keep you trapped.

This program is about getting you outside the system into a parallel one. So when this current system begins to wobble (and it will), you have support systems in place.

We're talking 12 sessions that'll completely rewire how you see the world:

First, we tear down the mental walls - understanding groupthink and learning communication that actually connects with people instead of corporate speak.

Then we build you back up from the inside out - Personal self-mastery that sticks, not some weekend warrior BS. Real assessment of where you're at and where you want to go.

Next comes your physical foundation - wellness practices that make sense for real people with real lives, plus living that doesn't require you to move to a commune or eat nothing but kale.

Now it gets spicy - We pull back the curtain on institutional structures, what true health actually looks like (spoiler: it's not what Big Pharma wants you to think), and how to manage your digital life without becoming a tech zombie.

Finally, we get you out of the rat race for good - Escaping that corporate ladder that leads nowhere, building actual financial independence, and creating communities that have your back when things get rough.

Those 15 years of sobriety and self-development got me to where I am - living on 10 acres with a multi-generational farm, running mutual aid groups, developing real skills.

But with AI, I can create a personalized learning experience that fast-tracks your path.

No matter where you're starting, you'll get step-by-step guidance to build the beautiful life you've been dreaming of.

If this sounds like you, hit reply. I'm building this as a beta program launching soon.

AI Workshop: Self-Discovery with Digital Guardrails

This week I co-hosted an AI for Self-Discovery workshop that got some serious praise from attendees.

Here's the thing – AI can be incredibly powerful for personal growth, but you need boundaries. Strong ones.

The majority of the workshop focused on the dangers AI presents and how to protect yourself while still tapping into its potential for understanding yourself better.

Think of it like having a digital therapist that never judges, never gets tired, and can help you explore your thoughts 24/7. But you better know how to use it safely.
