We’re standing at the edge of something massive.

Most people think they’re seeing the whole thing.

They’re not.

They’re staring at the glow on the surface…
while the real power sits beneath it.

And even the ones using AI every day?

We’ve barely scratched the iceberg.

I use AI daily.

Some of you probably do too.

Maybe you’ve generated an image.
Written something faster.
Cleaned up an email.
Played with a prompt.

And it feels impressive.

It is impressive.

But it’s also just the beginning.

Then there are the people who say:

“I don’t like AI.”
“It’s fake.”
“It’s replacing jobs.”
“I don’t want to hear about it.”

And I get it.

Headlines are loud.
Fear spreads fast.
Change is uncomfortable.

But most resistance I’ve seen doesn’t come from hatred.

It comes from not knowing what’s actually possible.

You can’t appreciate what you haven’t experienced.

I’ve shown people small pieces before.

Real-time writing previews evolving on screen.
Systems building themselves from a simple idea.
Concepts turning into structure in seconds.

The response?

“Oh yeah, I use ChatGPT.”

It’s like explaining a Tesla that predicts your behavior and drives itself…

And someone replies,
“Yeah. I have a Ford.”

No knock on the Ford.

But we’re not talking about getting from A to B anymore.

We’re talking about expanding what’s even possible.

The “Chick-fil-A of news sources” thinks they’ve found a way to help Christians have a healthy relationship with the news. It’s called The Pour Over, and it has two goals:

It pairs neutral, lighthearted coverage of current events with brief biblical reminders to stay focused on eternity.

Small companies are waking up to it.

They’re flooded with AI tools and sales pitches.
They know there’s opportunity.
They feel the shift happening.

But when it’s time to implement?

They freeze.

It’s a shiny box with no clear instructions.

And then there are people like you.

The quiet experimenters.

The ones weaving AI into workflows so smoothly no one even notices.

The ones learning in the background.

The ones who feel something big is happening… but aren’t sure how to explain it without sounding like a salesman.

Here’s my a-ha moment.

I recently went deeper — into advanced workflows, layered systems, collaborative building instead of simple prompting.

And it hit me hard:

I thought I understood AI.

I didn’t.

Not even close.

I’ve been creating with it for over a year — turning chaos into neon art, building ideas faster than I ever could before.

And I was still staring at the tip of the iceberg.

Underneath?

AI that builds full systems.
Simulates outcomes.
Turns raw data into strategy.
Turns imagination into structure.

This isn’t just “ask and receive” anymore.

It’s collaborate and construct.

So how do you show someone who doesn’t see it yet?

You don’t argue.

You don’t overwhelm them with features.

You don’t preach.

You solve one small pain point in front of them.

In real time.

Let the result do the convincing.

Because once someone feels the shift — once they see time saved, clarity gained, possibility unlocked — curiosity replaces resistance.

That’s when the real conversation starts.

I uploaded my first AI-generated song this week.

A year ago, that wouldn’t have been possible for me.

Not because I lacked creativity.

But because I lacked leverage.

That’s what AI really is.

Leverage.

For creators.
For operators.
For small businesses.
For the curious.

I’m not here to sell you on it.

I’m here to explore it.

To learn out loud.
To experiment.
To build the sci-fi book I’ve always wanted to write.
To see how far this goes.

And if you’re standing at the edge too…

You don’t need to convince the world.

Just open the door a crack.

Let the starlight pour in.

You know more than you think.

“Okay… this changes things”?

See you in the next one,
