Most consultants, advisors, and entrepreneurs are not lacking access to new ideas. If anything, they are overwhelmed by them. New strategies, new platforms, new initiatives, especially with AI advancing at a relentless pace. So, the real issue is not whether growth requires something new. It often does. The problem is that most professionals cannot distinguish between what will actually create leverage and what will simply add complexity. That distinction is where momentum is either created or lost. Tonight begins Passover....

I’m writing this from Florida… Not a bad place to spend a few days, especially when it means escaping the Cleveland snow. But this isn’t a vacation. I’m here attending an intensive 3-day AI conference, fully immersed in what’s next. And as always, I’m here for one reason: Raising the Barr® not just for myself, but for you and your business. Because the truth is simple: If I’m not growing, learning, and staying ahead… I can’t help you do the...

A few days ago, I came across a short video of Steve Jobs from 1985. Not 2015 or even a few years ago, but 1985. In just about a minute, he described exactly where we are today with AI. He said his dream was this: what if we could capture the thinking of someone like Aristotle so that a student could ask him questions and receive answers? If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth watching. It’s about a minute long...

Earlier this week I hosted a live AI Insider Lab working session. It was wonderful reconnecting with many familiar faces and meeting several new ones. The conversation reinforced something I have been thinking about for quite some time. The professionals who will thrive in the coming years are not simply using AI tools. They are learning how to partner with AI in a completely different way. Over the past year I have spent hundreds of hours studying and experimenting with AI, and...

Tomorrow we officially open the doors to something I have been building behind the scenes for quite some time. It is called The AI Insider Lab. Over the past several months I have been working intensely on how professionals can move beyond simply “using AI” and begin partnering with it to produce real results in their business, their thinking, and their daily work. The AI Insider Lab is the result. It is designed specifically for consultants, advisors, creators, and professionals...

I want to give you a quick update on the AI Insider Lab. The live working session will take place on Tuesday, March 10 at 1 PM EST. This session is designed as a complete, standalone working session where you will see exactly how the AI Insider Lab operates and how participants will apply AI in practical ways that produce measurable results.  As promised, below is the Zoom registration link. Register in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/GMTdVf5ZRu6BqyqIJiaR4Q   After registering, you will...

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how Smarter Prompts Beat Smarter Tools, and I referenced what I called the “The Zero to One Million Reality Check.” The core idea was simple: most professionals are not constrained by technology. They are constrained by clarity. They have access to extraordinary tools, yet their results remain incremental because their focus is diluted. This week I want to take that concept further. Clarity alone is not enough. What changes trajectory is enforced focus...

If ChatGPT has felt more annoying than helpful, I get it. Today’s experiment is designed to be the opposite: fast, fun, and useful for your brand. I want you to run a simple experiment: can ChatGPT create a caricature that actually captures the essence of who you are, not just what you look like? Because if the result is generic, that is a signal. If it feels unmistakably you, that is also a signal. Either way, you learn something useful...

Most consultants, coaches, and corporate advisors are using AI incorrectly. They approach it transactionally. They type a request, get a response, tweak it, and move on. That may improve efficiency, but it does not create leverage. It creates assistance. The real advantage begins when AI stops operating as a vending machine and starts operating inside a structured environment built around you. AI is only as intelligent as the context it operates within. If it does not deeply understand who you...

I want to give you a clear update on the AI Insider Lab. I committed to a January launch, and I did not meet that commitment. That is on me. Rather than make another abstract promise, I am resetting the rollout in a way that creates real accountability and delivers value immediately. On Thursday, March 5 at 1 PM EST, I will host a free, live working session of the AI Insider Lab. This session is open to anyone who...
