Let's see if this describes you:
You're an entrepreneur. Not the LinkedIn "thought leader" kind. The real kind – with a business to run, payroll to make, and fires to put out daily.
But also:
You feel a gravitational pull toward the new AI wave. You hear the buzz, read the headlines, see your competitors dipping their toes in. And you're wondering – is this actually going to change anything for my business?
And the dangerous lie we tell ourselves is that we'll figure this out once it's "more mature" or once we "have more time."
My message to you is simple: AI isn't just another tech trend – it's the biggest business multiplier we've seen in decades. And the entrepreneurs who harness it first aren't just going to compete – they're going to dominate.
Why These Weekly Emails Exist
I learned a powerful lesson on the ice. Day one as an NHL coach, Mark Crawford pulled me aside and said: "Mike, there's winning and there's misery. That's it."
That philosophy changed everything for me. When I left hockey and dove back into business, I brought that same intensity. That same obsession with winning.
I've been deep in the AI world for the last five years – way before ChatGPT was even launched. I've broken things, fixed things, tested everything under the sun. But what I really understand is the business side of it.
These can't just be fancy toys. They have to actually make a difference in your bottom line.
I started sending these weekly emails for a simple reason: I want my circle to keep winning.
Every week, I filter through the AI noise to find actual, practical ways entrepreneurs can use this technology to:
- Scale faster without scaling headcount
- Automate the soul-crushing busy work
- Make decisions with better data, faster
- Find patterns your competitors are missing
No theoretical BS. No "someday" tech. Just battle-tested strategies you can implement this week to move the needle in your business.
Two Types of Entrepreneurs Right Now
Here's what I'm seeing in the trenches:
Type 1: Reading about AI, maybe playing with ChatGPT, telling themselves they'll "really dig in when things slow down." (They never slow down.)
Type 2: Already using AI as their secret weapon – automating entire workflows, creating content 10x faster, analyzing customer data in minutes instead of days, and building unfair advantages their competition doesn't even understand yet.
I want you in the second group. That's why these emails exist.
I believe in real networks – not the LinkedIn kind, but an actual tribe of entrepreneurs who help each other win. No fake guru newsletter BS, just valuable insights shared between people who are out there making things happen.
It's Personal
Let me shoot straight: While others were debating if AI would ever be useful, I’ve been in the trenches the past 5 years seeing what actually works – and more importantly, what sounds good but falls apart when it hits the real world.
Every week, I'm going to share what I'm learning directly with you – the stuff that can help you stay ahead and keep winning.
But I'm offering two paths forward:
- Take these weekly strategies and run with them. I'll keep sending the goods, you keep implementing. I'll be cheering you on.
- Bring me in to transform how your team works. I look at your business model from a completely different angle – identifying exactly where AI can save you enormous amounts of time and money while keeping you miles ahead of your competition. I come in, teach your team the exact systems that work, and help you implement them so they're actually driving results, not just sitting as another fancy tool nobody uses.
Because in my world, there's still only winning and misery. And I'm here to make sure you win.
Ready to get these unfair advantages in your inbox every week?
