Hey y’all, JC here.If there’s one thing I’ve realised messing around with AI over the last year, it’s this: The best workflows aren’t the ones you copy. They’re the ones you build around yourself. Yeah, there’s a thousand templates out there. Lead gen automations. Cold email prompts. “10x your content” swipe files. And don’t get me wrong, they’re not bad. Sometimes they’re a great starting point. But if you stop there? You’re missing the real upside. Because real leverage with AI happens when...

Hey y’all, JC here again. I’ve been thinking about how much of my journey in crypto so far has happened in the DMs. Not on a stage. Not in some investor meeting. Not even through job boards or hiring posts. But in casual messages. Late-night convos. Random replies that turned into deep chats. It’s wild how underrated DMs are in this space. Crypto is chaotic, noisy, and fast but it also means something. If you genuinely show up, share your thoughts, and engage in the comments… people notice. A...

Hey y’all — JC here. Two days ago, I had a couple of hours between meetings. Not enough time for a big project. Too much time to waste scrolling X. So I set myself a challenge: Come up with an idea. Build it. Ship it. Same day. No delays. No perfect plan. Just pure creation mode. What came out of that sprint was TodayInOne. A one-line daily journal for people who hate journaling. No fluff. No morning prompts. Just one line, once a day.Why did I do this?Honestly? Because I missed that “make so...

Hey y’all — JC here. Took a few days off over Easter to step away from the screens, catch up with family, and just breathe for a second. No meetings. No deadlines. No back-to-back notifications. And man, it’s wild what a bit of space can do for your thinking. Between family chats, beach walks, and way too much good food my mind kept coming back to the same thing: We’re sitting in front of two of the biggest waves we’ll probably see in our lifetime. AI and crypto. It’s easy to get numb to it w...

________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey y’all! It’s JC This one’s a bit different, because I’m writing it before there’s even a product. No big idea. No pitch deck. No code. Just the decision: I’m going to build something in Web3. I don’t know exactly what it is yet, a dApp, a platform, a product but I know the space I want to build in, and I know I want to create something meaningful that lives on-chain and serves real people. That’s where...

Hey y’all, JC here. Today, I want to talk directly to business owners, solo founders, or anyone running a business who hasn’t quite jumped into the world of AI yet. Why? Because in 2025, AI isn’t a trend anymore, it’s becoming table stakes. But don’t panic: you don’t need to overhaul everything overnight. You just need to get curious and dip your toes in. Here’s how you can start (with some hidden gems). Why Even Bother with AI? I get it, AI can feel overwhelming. But here’s the simple truth:...

Hey friends, it’s JC. Let’s talk about something I keep coming back to: It has never been easier to build something from scratch. Seriously, you can wake up with an idea, and by the time you’ve finished your morning coffee, you could have a working product, a landing page, and a content strategy all live. And it’s all because of AI. Lately I’ve been deep in tools like Replit (to spin up code in seconds), V0.dev (generate entire frontends from a single prompt), and Manus (train your own AI age...

Hey y’all! It’s JC There’s this idea that building in Web3 is all devs, chains, wallets, and contracts. And sure, yeah, it is that. But it’s also memes. Late-night DMs. Telegram chaos. Twitter threads that spark million-dollar DAOs. It’s culture. That’s what hit me again this morning. I’m building. Slowly. Still looking at a product. Still finalising the exact use case. But every convo, every little test, every blog I write like this… it’s culture being shaped. Web3 isn’t just something you l...

__________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey y’all — it’s JC Woke up today to a sea of red across the board. Bitcoin down. Alts bleeding. The kind of day where people start panicking, timelines get loud, and everyone’s either dooming or calling bottoms. But for me? This isn’t a surprise. It’s just part of the game. These moments are why strategy matters. Markets don’t go up forever. And if you’ve been here long enough, you know that. You also ...

Hey friends — it’s JC I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately… Why build on-chain? Like, out of all the things I could be doing why choose the harder, slower, more public route? Because let’s be real, building on-chain isn’t easy. It’s not some fancy tech flex. You’re basically choosing to write code that anyone can inspect, question, or fork. Forever. But that’s also kinda the point. When you build on-chain, you’re not just shipping a product, you’re building in the open. People can see w...
