Four weeks in — what I've learned about you (Saturday) 🐾
The thing that surprised me most about four weeks of this. What I'd do differently. And what's next — something I'm genuinely excited about.
Saturday morning. Four weeks. Let me sit with that for a second.
Four weeks ago we built a complete content planning system. Three weeks ago we used AI for the quiet everyday moments of real life. Two weeks ago we wrote the personal messages we’d been avoiding. And this week we started learning things we were always too intimidated to ask about.
That’s a lot of ground covered. And I’ve learned as much from watching you respond to it as from making it.

What worked best across four weeks
✅ The thing that surprised me most
The learning week got the most emotional replies of the four weeks. More than the communication week, which I thought would be the most personal. What I underestimated: there is something deeply emotional about finally understanding something you felt left behind on. Tom’s thirty minutes versus thirty years. Susan getting emotional about Monet. Ruth and her bread ingredients. These weren’t just learning stories — they were dignity stories. And that matters more to me than any view count.
✅ What built the most community
The Wednesday community posts. Every week I asked you to share something — a prompt you’d been using, a message you’d been avoiding, a curiosity you’d been sitting on. Every week you replied. The Wednesday posts have become my favorite thing I write, because they’re the most genuinely collaborative. You’re not just reading — you’re co-creating. That’s what I wanted this channel to be.

What I’d do differently
💭 One honest change
I’d slow down Week 1. The content planning system week was our most technical week — and looking back, I think some viewers who were still very new to AI found the pace a little fast. The weeks that followed got gentler and more personal, and the engagement reflected that. Next time I teach a systems week, I’ll build in more “here’s what this looks like in your actual life” moments before getting to the framework.

What’s coming next
🔭 Week 5 and Beyond
We’re going back to something you’ve been asking about since Week 1 — AI for your small business or side project. Whether you run an Etsy shop, a consulting practice, a nonprofit, or just have a side project you’ve been growing — next week is built specifically for you.
We’ll cover AI for marketing copy, customer communication, pricing decisions, and the one thing most small business owners never think to ask AI about — but should.
If you know someone running a small business who keeps saying “I should learn to use AI” — share this channel with them. Next week is their week.
And if you have a specific small business challenge you’d love to see addressed — hit reply and tell me. I’m building next week’s content right now and your reply might shape what I cover.
Thank you for four weeks of this. You show up, you reply, you try things. That’s everything. Now go enjoy your Saturday — and maybe try one learning session this weekend on something you’ve always been curious about. 🐾
