6min Read | Watch | Listen

Hey there Visionaries!

It’s been one of those weeks—action-packed and full of insight.

From exploring a redesigned Seattle to cutting down an hour of work with AI automation

There’s a ton to cover, so let’s dive in!

Why You Should Give All the Cares:

• Creative AI Sorcery: Watch me turn a 3D color wizard into a digital Picasso on steroids.

• Automation Revolution: Learn how AI is saving my butt an hour a week (and how it can save yours too, you beautiful time-starved maniac).

• Digital Detox: My wife and I put our phones on “time out” and it’s bringing us closer than ever.

Seattle's Facelift & The Color Goddess

Just got back from Seattle, and holy mother of reinvention!

The waterfront’s been completely redesigned, and the monorail is gone—it’s like a whole new city

New aquarium that'll make fish feel like they're in a 5-star hotel.

Tucked away in this urban jungle, there's a little slice of magic.

Burgundy Vicosi's art shop.

This ain't your grandma's paint-by-numbers joint.

We're talking 3D art that'll make your eyeballs tango.

Color theory so wild, the paintings come alive and dance while you're looking at 'em.

It's like someone took a regular painting, fed it psychedelics, and taught it to breakdance.

We talked about how AI can amplify her reach, and I got to test out some of the latest AI tools to help bring her work to life online.

Pica Art 1.5 just dropped, and it's hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna.

We're talking next-level image manipulation that'll make Photoshop look like MS Paint

(If you can get it to work.)

Wait till you see this.

The AI Time-Bending Magic Trick

This week, I set up an AI automation that’s cutting down my prep time before client meetings by at least an hour.

Picture this: 30 minutes before any meeting, BOOM!

An email drops with everything I need

who I'm meeting

our entire dang conversation history

and a suggested agenda that'd make Tony Robbins weep.

Sick of rolling into meetings like a hot mess? Time to upgrade to CEO mode with AI magic. #productivityhacks #worksmarternotharder #aiwor... See more

If you want to streamline your workflow like this, I’ll be sharing all the details in my upcoming Master AI or Die Trying Cohort next week.

There are seats left, but they're vanishing faster than my patience for slow WiFi!

Trust me, this is a game-changer.

Our Phones? On Time-Out!

In a move that probably made Mark Zuckerberg cry into his Cheerios

My wife and I decided to put our phones in “time out.”

We banished those little attention-vampires to a box in our bedroom, and honestly

it’s been life-changing.

Just the little hassle of walking to another room to check a message is enough to keep us in the moment with our daughter and each other.

It’s funny how much space that creates—space where real life happens.

If you’ve been feeling a bit too glued to your screen, try it out and let me know how it works for you!

Today’s Takeaways:

1. Seattle 2.0: It's had more work done than Joan Rivers, and it's looking fine!

2. AI-Powered Art: Burgundy's paintings are so alive, they might start talking back.

3. Meeting Prep Sorcery: AI tools that'll make you look like a mind-reader in meetings.

Alright, that's all she wrote for this week's wild ride!

Now go out there and live life like your phone's permanently stuck in that box.

And hey, if you're feeling brave, maybe even make eye contact with a stranger.

Stay curious and keep it real,
