I'm starting over. Again.


Hey Reader,

My toxic trait is that I have too many interests, commit to too many things, and chronically overcomplicate them all.

I can't help myself.

This newsletter is evidence. I have lots of excuses, but I won't bore you with those.

I'm writing to let you know that I'm starting again, again.

The starting and stopping is a bit embarrassing, admittedly—but as Krista recently reminded me, I've never been one to let a little embarrassment stop me (not sure if I should be offended by that?).

So, here's what I'm (re)committing to in the following weeks:

  • Posting daily on social for the next 90 days. This sucks.
  • Writing one email a week for the next 3-months.

And just seeing what happens.

The content is changing, too. My focus lately has been AI. I've vibe-coded a few apps, built automations, decided some things are better without AI, and I've even formed an AI family.

Just kidding on that last bit—just seeing who is paying attention.

Every Tuesday, I'm going to pop in here with a tip, tutorial, prompt, or BTS on what I'm building with AI.

A few important notes on what this isn't...

  • It's not an "outsource your whole life to AI" newsletter.
  • I'm not pushing the "AI job-pocalypse."
  • And I don't believe AI should replace human things.

But it has transformed the way I work in some pretty amazing ways, and I'm excited to share what I've learned.

If you're a bit bummed and started following along for list-building tips or more personal reflections, worry not. I'll be sharing some BTS of building this newsletter over on the BDOW! channels, and I'll continue sharing more personal posts over on The Ordinary Stuff.

Talk to you next week. I hope everyone has a spirited 4th of July weekend!

Peace,
Davey J.

P.S. Thanks for your patience! Looking forward to getting started, again.

Hi Reader 'Tis a season of online trainings! As I mentioned in a previous update, I'm bullish on webinars. Sure, they're everywhere—but, it's content that's hard to "fake" with AI, so I think it offers a chance to close the trust gap with leads quickly. I have lots of learnings to share today and in the coming weeks. Stay tuned... —marketing notes for next time— A few weeks ago I taught The Lead Playbook: From Website to Lead Machine masterclass. I previously gave a version of this training...

Hi Reader I'm writing this from 30,000 feet today... and friends, I have a particular flying routine that Krista has previously described using words like "inflexible," "high-maintenance,"... and "travel snob." I used believe that she just didn't understand the beautiful subtleties of an efficient traveler. Today, I learned that, maybe, she has a point. When the TSA agent asked me to take my computer out of my bag, I kindly told her I didn't have to. Y'all—I didn't even look at my ticket to...

Hi Reader, The two main culprits that limit my productivity: Overcomplicating. Mentioned that in last week's email. Additive Bias. A bias toward adding things rather than subtracting things. Additive bias is a bit of a silent killer because it feels easier to add one more thing than exercise the mental rigor to decide what to cut. That is, until you find yourself in the fetal position on the closet floor, lights off, questioning every decision of your life up 'til that moment. I mean, *I've*...
