I need to tell you something that honestly feels strange for me to say given my mothers computer skillsā¦ š My mom is now using CreateOS to manage the entire accounting system for their business!!!! I even caught a picture of her excitement as she learned to combine Claude with her personal CreateOS so she can use AI as she works on her stuff. That face of pure excitement when she finally "GOT IT". And before you think, āOf course she can, Noah, sheās YOUR momā¦ā Let me be clear: My mom is...

Hey there, Last week, I talked about how the people winning with AI arenāt the ones with the fanciest tools, theyāre the ones with the best examples and context. The ones who actually capture their stories, their customer insights, their inspiration. The ones who have a system that makes all of that findable and usable. Thatās exactly what CreateOS does (and so much more) and after 6 months it's FINALLY out of Beta. And today, Iām dropping into your inbox with something Iāve never offered...

Last week, I spent hours talking to customers and clients that struggle with using AI. My friend was trying to write content for their new blog. Theyād type in a prompt, get a generic response, tweak the prompt, get another generic response, and repeat. After hearing too much about this painful cycle, I finally told them: āWhat examples are you showing it?ā They looked at me confused. āExamples?ā āYeah, likeā¦ examples of past content you've made that you love. Your writing style. Your...

This weekend, I spent time with my family celebrating my momās birthday at Medieval Times. Full knight jousting, clashing swords, strangely good? chicken, the works. Now, normally this is exactly the type of thing I wouldāve found an excuse to skip. Too much family time makes me anxious. Too many people. Too loud. And that weird humming guilt I get when Iām not workingā¦ The one where youāre physically present but mentally miles away, thinking about all the things you āshouldā be doing...

Today, I went to help my mom with her taxes. She was overdue and worried that if she didnāt get them submitted, she wouldnāt get approved for her surgery. The stress was eating her alive. I kept thinking about all those ambitious science projects and science fairs we won as children because my mom would stay up all night replicating Mesa Verde with styrofoam or Poverty Point with clay molding. Here she was just like us as kids, at a deadline, feeling defeated and unsure how to get everything...

Accountability goes both ways. Two weeks ago. Iām scrolling through the Community, doing my Monday accountability check-ins with everyone. You know, being the good old community leader Iām supposed to be. Asking how their goals are going. Cheering people on. Feeling pretty good about myself. Then Pam drops this comment: āSpeaking of accountability, where are those behind-the-scenes videos you promised us?ā BAM. SHE GOT ME. She was right. Iād been so busy holding everyone ELSE accountable that...

The video for y'all this week is something that was equal parts therapeutic and terrifying. Itās a video about my 10 biggest mistakes as a creator, not the cute, humble-brag ones everyone shares, but the real ones. The expensive ones. The ones that made me question whether I was cut out for this at all. My cat Myra joins the video around two minutes in. She CANNOT help herself. She stays for most of the video, I rolled with it. š Anyways. Iāve been seeking that elusive feeling of āmaking itā...

The gym with no mirrors (and why youāre quitting too early) I was at the gym and something hit me hard. A year ago, I was in this exact same place, tired and desperate, working on a business Iād just bought with no idea what I was doing, I didnāt have the body I wanted, the life I wanted, and I damn sure didnāt feel like the person I wanted to be. Today, Iām back in that same gym and although it FEELS like Iām starting the fitness journey over, everything has changed. I have amazing...
