Mixing Creativity, Entrepreneurship & Family Bonding

6min Read, Watch, Listen


Hey there,

We just dodged an atmospheric river in WA to chase the sun in Palm Springs!

Imagine this: a stunning Airbnb decked out with eye-catching decor and murals, perfect for a fashion photoshoot. My wife, an ever-creative fashion entrepreneur, found this gem for her latest collection. And guess what? Our family turned it into a business and learning adventure!

As the winter chill sets in, I've got some sunny updates to warm you up so let's get into it!

Palm Springs Escape: Photography, Fashion, and Family Fun

  • Family Bonding Through Business: My wife hired me as the photographer and our daughter for her modeling debut. It wasn't just a photoshoot; it was a family teamwork showcase.

  • Tax-Savvy Lifestyle: We're learning to smartly deduct our lifestyle for tax savings. A mix of business and pleasure? Absolutely! If you are interested in how we did this send me a DM.

JH Photo Pro: I experimented by creating a GPT tool, JH Photo Pro. It transformed my Samsung Galaxy 22 and a gimbal stand into a professional setup, offering real-time feedback on lighting, scenery, and shot improvement.

  • A Visual Feast: We've captured over 500 photos and videos, and I'm thrilled to share some of the best with you. Follow her Ahzalhea Instagram for more.

Industry Buzz: Competing with the Giant

The tech world never sleeps, and neither do we. Here's the latest:
Google's Challenge to ChatGPT: Google dropped a new language model that's vying for the top spot. They are relacing a version that challenges ChatGPT 3.5 but promising a bigger one next year. For now just a lot of hype.

ChatGPT Hack: MORE MORE CHATGPT!!!

Ever thought of just asking ChatGPT to enhance itself? Well, I did, and the results are mind-blowing.

Tunes for Transformation: My 2023 Spotify Wrap-Up

Music has always been my companion through thick and thin. This year, Ayla Nereo's melodies were my solace during a transformative period. Her album resonated deeply with me, and I'm not alone. With my Spotify usage higher than 92% of listeners, it seems many of us found comfort in her tunes. Number 2&3 are my daughter’s kid music 😣

Top Artist: Ayla Nereo, a voice for the soul.
Soundtrack of My Year: Reflecting on the rhythms that shaped my 2023.
