What's Ahead
A YouTube Month Recapped
The past 30 days showed explosive growht
Tons of conversations happening
Over the past month, I’ve been blown away by the response to daily, AI content.
You see, I’ve been creating content weekly on my YouTube channel about 7 years.
One June 14 I decided to make changes.
I decided to take daily walks, and report the most interesting AI news story.
The first few days were slow, but on the 6 day everything changed.
I woke up to a video that spiked in views.
I took it as a signal I was on the right track.
That men really want and need a place to discuss the ways AI is changing our lives.
So, I doubled down and since then I’ve seen massive growth signals.
The best part was conversations happening in the comments.
Some people are very excited about AI, some are angry, some are confused, some are delusional.
The one thing for sure, is people care.
I don’t say this to brag, but rather to share a backstage pass to this project.
I hope to have the same impact here on this daily newsletter (except Sunday), that we’re having on YouTube.
The reality is, there are SO many interesting stories, and my commitment, is we’ll keep you in the loop.
My hypothesis is men will be hit hardest from the AI revolution, but we also have the most to gain.
The AI Update is well on it’s way to accomplishing its mission:
Help 1 million men be relevant, respected, and financially free during the AI Age.
And YOU are part of it.

We’re in this together boys, and we’re just getting started.
