Howdy Reader! I’m constantly amazed and encouraged by the creativity and resourcefulness of other creators. Since I’m big into repurposing, I’ve dabbled in the Amazon Influencers program for several years. I like the idea of filming videos on things I already have purchased for the business to make a little extra cha-ching. For me, it seemed a little like investing—not an immediate cash cow, but nickels and dimes that would stack up over time. That led me to be trained up in the way of the Amazon Influencer by Jim and Chris, the Jedis over at Dealcasters. During this training, I got to meet some great creators who sell live on Amazon. That’s where this week's guest comes in… I’d seen Billy Thorpe around many of the same sellers' Facebook groups and some Zoom meetings, but what really impressed me was when we were able to hang out and chat a bit at Ecamm’s Creator Camp. Billy has embraced what many sellers sneer at and has made that his bread and butter. His creative thinking has led to landing over 3,100 brand deals and working with 500+ e-commerce sellers. I can’t wait for you to get a chance to ask him your questions. So join us LIVE today at 10 am central. See ya there, -Jeff P.S. Stay on top of your online meetings without breaking the bank! Ecamm’s new Zoom integration is a total game-changer, and with competitive pricing, top-tier support, and an incredible community, you get unbeatable value.

Howdy Reader! This week on Creator News Live, I sat down with Mike Schmitz, the founder of Practical PKM and the creator of Life HQ, and honestly, I could have talked to him for hours. The big idea stuck with me: AI is not an on-off switch; it is a dial. You do not have to be an AI bro or a proud holdout. There is a middle setting where the machine does the busywork and your taste stays in charge. Your cheat sheet breaks the whole thing down, including his Creativity Flywheel: Capture,...
Howdy Reader! I keep having the same conversation lately. Someone makes something with AI, it turns out fine, and then they feel a little weird about it, like maybe it is not really theirs. Our guest this week has the clearest answer to that I have heard. This Friday, we're sitting down with Mike Schmitz, the founder of Practical PKM, co-host of the Focused and Bookworm podcasts, and the creator of LifeHQ, a done-for-you Obsidian vault. Mike is writing some of the sharpest essays anywhere on...
Howdy Reader! I sat down last week and added up how much of my time goes to work I never wanted to be doing, the inbox, the scheduling, the follow-up, the repurposing. It was a lot. Our guest this week has spent her whole career making that stack disappear. This Friday, we're sitting down with Jennifer Bennett, the founder of Get Desky and a Fractional Chief AI Officer who has run the systems behind 1.2 million leads a month. Now she helps founders hand the backend busywork to AI and AI...
