Hey there! Last week, I shared one of my favorite discovery moments and unexpected benefits from using this new product that I'm about to launch! In case you aren't up to speed, I'm working on an AI data automation and project management tool just for creators. As I stated before: My vision for the new product for Create and Go was to make a system that would make running a business and being a creator as easy and efficient as possible. This new product is almost finished, so I'm just sharing some extra sneak peeks and discoveries with you in the weeks leading up to launch! Before we get into this week's discovery, here's a quick word from this week's sponsor:
Favorite Discovery #2: Emergence is all around us, but data management tools allow us to visualize and observe it better in our own lives.What did I just say there? Emergence is a concept from physics and other areas of life that I can probably foolishly simplify to the "sudden-like" appearance of something. I think you know what the word generally means, but I say "sudden-like" because it is, in all reality, sudden to most people. But the emergency of thoughts, feelings, and sentiments can often be missed without close attention. Some people just have better intuition than others (or education, awareness, etc.). Some examples of things that are "emergent" in nature include:
Really anything that comes from what seems like atomic or minuscule inputs is vaguely "emergent" in description. I like the way Confucius refers to it in "the investigation of things." He calls it "the work others cannot see." The work that we often cannot see adds up. The fruits of this unseen labor can take MUCH longer than you might think to develop, but sometimes this also causes everything to "fall into place" at once. The interesting thing is that it doesn't all just "click" or "work" one day. It's usually the culmination of months or even years of effort--the snowball effect, if you will. Tools like this new one I'm developing, CreatorOS (and other thought tools it was inspired by like Obsidian, Notion, Building a Second Brain, and more), provide an added benefit in that they allow you to see a better representation of how you're doing in real-time. This tool helps you see what's been there all along, the person you have always been, and the potential you've always had. It's literally a record of how we spend our time! That means that despite the imposter syndrome or limiting beliefs we may have about ourselves, it will remind us we're doing better than we think. Sometimes, it's the wake-up call we need when we HAVEN'T been showing up. For example, I was meditating for a while. But even after taking TWO MONTHS off last year and only ever doing a 10-15 minute session a couple of times a day, I somehow emerged a "meditator" according to these stats (491 sessions and 222 days!). I don't usually make bold claims of myself like this and had you asked me before, I definitely wouldn't have identified as a "meditator," but the data shows me otherwise. Even better, after realizing how much progress I made last year, I lightened up on trying to make up for missing those two months and now I'm on a 23-day streak. #cookie🍪 and a win for me. Today, consider all the work you've been doing that maybe you can't see. Give yourself some credit and have some faith that you're on the right path and that your efforts will bear fruit in time. 🍇 |
From a chronic procrastinator who couldn't finish anything to a creator obsessed with helping others finish what they start. I started Create & Go after training a personal AI on my entire life's data to understand my own behavior patterns and failures to complete things I cared about. Our tools are what I wished I always had, helping creators turn their data and knowledge into insight and progress.

112 people. That’s how many creators joined The Creator’s Club in the last 48 hours. The doors are now closing over the next few hours and I am going to begin to approving members in a few. And honestly? I’m more then thrilled by the response. I am so excited to see how this community helps people to finish the things that matter to them and for us to all pursue these meaningful goals together. It will be incredible to see more people follow through and create the life and business they want...
I bought a business I didn’t believe in. Here’s why that decision revealed the deepest problem in the creator economy, and why solving it might be the key to everything you’re trying to build. When I purchased Create & Go, I had zero faith in the product model. It wasn’t the information. The content is excellent. I used it to build my own success. Watched friends like Kelan and others cross $100K months using the exact frameworks. The problem wasn’t what was being taught. The problem was what...
MAN. Y'all sure know how to keep a man to his word. LOL. I'm reading through ALL of the responses asking where the link is, and reminding me we're an hour past launch time. I love the enthusiasm, truly, so much. This was my first email launch without Lauren, and man, do I miss that type A personality! She is DEARLY missed, and I appreciate y'all bearing with me on this.I have been sitting here for almost an hour in agony, looking at this video processing... The video I ended up recording was...
