Mind-Blowing Developments & Why I Dropped $200 on ChatGPT Pro

6min Read | Watch | Listen

Hey there Visionaries!

Since touching down from the land of pineapples and palm trees (aka Hawaii), my brain's still buzzing like a caffeinated squirrel about what's cookin' in the AI kitchen.

Feeling that first hint of spring, and let me tell you—I’m getting a head start.

Never before in human history have we had this much opportunity at our fingertips. As former OpenAI tech boss Maria Murati puts it:

“We have never empowered individuals this much as we’re about to with AI.”

We’re living in the great divide—those leveraging AI and those who are about to get left behind. The gap is going to widen fast.

What’s on deck this week:

• Dropping $200 on ChatGPT Pro—was it worth it?

• Helping a copywriter carve a new niche in the AI era

• Wrapping up first 28-day challenge (insane results!)

• AI news: Why Grok 3 is making waves, but ChatGPT is still miles ahead

$200 on ChatGPT Pro? Here's Why I Dropped That Cash Like It's Hot

So picture this - I'm cruising at 30,000 feet, coming back from Hawaii (while everyone else was watching movies), when I decided to pull the trigger on ChatGPT Pro.

I couldn't stop scribbling ideas. Four pages later, I knew this wasn't just an expense - it was an investment that would pay for itself many times over.

For anyone thinking "$200 is steeper than a mountain goat's backyard," lemme break it down:

• This thing doesn't just think - it REASONS. Processing time longer than a DMV line (but actually worth the wait)

• It's got this new "deep research" button that's like having 20 research assistants working at light speed

• From high-level strategy reports to hyper-localized market research, this thing is a business game-changer.

Case Study #1: My Wife's Fashion Business

Remember when market research cost thousands and took forever? Yeah, those days are GONE. In one session, we:

• Mapped out the entire sustainable fashion landscape

• Spotted gaps in the athleisure market

• Created a battle plan to stay ahead of competitors

• Broke it all down into actionable quarterly goals

Take a look for your self at the Strategic Business Report I handed over to her on a silver platter.

Case Study #2: Local Wellness Center

Helped a startup wellness center owner go from "where do I start?" to "holy cow, I know exactly what I need to do!" We:

• Deep-dove into hyper-local market dynamics

• Identified their perfect client avatar

• Mapped out their unique positioning

• Created a roadmap that actually makes sense

This tool isn’t just for AI nerds—it’s a weapon for business owners, marketers, and entrepreneurs who want to move faster, smarter, and with confidence.

Copywriting in the AI Era: How One Writer Found Her Niche

Met up with someone from my local AI Meetup group—a talented writer looking to pivot into copywriting.

She was stuck in imposter syndrome overwhelm. Didn’t know how to stand out in an AI-powered world.

So we ran a deep-dive AI coaching session, breaking it down using the Ikigai method (finding purpose by aligning skills, passions, and market needs). Her result?

That’s differentiation.
That’s clarity.
That’s how you OWN your niche in an AI-powered world.

If you’re a creative feeling the heat from AI, it’s not about fighting it—it’s about using it to amplify your unique value.

AI News: Grok 3 vs. ChatGPT – Who’s Leading the AI Race?

Biggest news this week: Grok 3 just dropped. Bet you didn’t hear about it.

It’s making waves, especially because it has real-time access to Twitter/X—which means it’s digesting breaking news faster than mainstream media can spin it.

That’s powerful.

BUT… Look at this AI model usage chart: 👉 ChatGPT is still miles ahead.

Why?

• Mass adoption – Everyone’s already using it.

• Enterprise & Gov adoption – OpenAI is now working with governments too

• Upcoming upgrades – GPT-4.5 (days away?) & GPT-5 (months away?)

The AI game is evolving fast, and if you’re not staying ahead, you’re falling behind.

That's the scoop for this week, fam!

Remember: The gap between AI users and AI-nots is growing FAST. Which side do you want to be on?

Drop me a line if you want to geek out about any of this - you know I'm always down to talk AI!

Until next week…

Stay curious and keep it real,
