Stretched thin? This one’s for you…


Howdy Reader!

Let me ask you something…

Have you ever tried to build something on the side… while everything else in life is already full?

Full-time job.

Family.

Responsibilities.

And then somewhere in there, you’re thinking, “Yeah… I’m gonna start a weekly video podcast too.”

Yeah. Same.

That’s exactly why I’m excited about this week’s show.

We’re kicking off a new series called Side Hustle Secrets, and my guest is Sean “Tater” Roberson from But Mostly Disney.

He’s balancing a full-time real estate career, family life, and growing a Disney-focused brand that’s taking off.

Here’s what we’re digging into:

  • How he manages time and energy without burning out
  • What’s actually working to grow his content right now
  • How he’s using AI to save time and stay consistent
  • What he’d do differently if he started over
  • And advice for anyone trying to build something on the side

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to make progress on something you care about… this one’s right up your alley.

We’ll be live TODAY at 10am Central, and we’ll be pulling questions from the chat as we go.

See ya there,

- Jeff

Howdy Reader! Quick question for y'all... When you scroll your feed lately, can you tell what's real and what's AI? Half the content in your feed right now is AI-generated. AI voices, AI avatars, AI scripts, AI thumbnails. And the audience is starting to notice. Here's the wild thing. In a world flooded with synthetic everything, the single biggest competitive advantage you have as a creator in 2026 is also the simplest one. Being a real human, on camera, showing up as yourself. That's the...

Howdy Reader! If you've been around these emails for a bit, you know I'm a book nerd. First thing in the morning, last thing at night, I've got a book in my hand. And that love started way back in grade school with a sci-fi series I could never quite remember. All I had were fragments. A boy gets a robot brother who looks just like him. They charge him up through a port in his belly button. Something happens at a swimming pool. That's it. That's all my brain held onto for forty-some years....

Howdy Reader! Quick question: how much of your story are you handing over to AI? This Friday, we're sitting down with Zac Brown, host of The Zac Brown Show. Zac just got back from his first Social Media Marketing World, AND he's writing a book called An Accidental Education. His whole approach is built around helping creators see their work as more than content. It's a world. It's an experience. It's a connection.
