Hey Guys, JC Here Let’s talk about where we actually are with AI. If you’re a business owner still thinking “AI is just ChatGPT” you’re already behind. But it’s not your fault, the landscape shifts fast. Here’s a quick breakdown of the 3 big phases we’ve moved through: Phase 1: Ask a question, get an answer. The LLM boom. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. We all jumped in, asking questions, getting summaries, writing drafts. A huge unlock… but still manual. You had to copy/paste. You had to do somethi...

Hey y’all — JC here.This one’s for the lurkers. You know who you are scrolling through threads, saving workflows, bookmarking posts with every intention to start… someday. But let me tell you what changed the game for me: Showing. Not telling. I didn’t come into AI with a fancy PhD or a playbook. I just started building. → Built a one-line journal app in 3 hours → Created agents that now handle real client work → Wrote daily blogs, dropped tools, shared screenshots, posted on socials And you ...

Hey y’all — JC here.Everyone wants to know the ROI of AI. “How much money will this save me?” “What’s the return?” “Will it replace someone on the team?” Fair questions.

It’s time, clarity, and better work.Let’s be honest, it’s rarely about the toolBusinesses don’t come to me saying: “Hey JC, can you install an AI chatbot?” They come saying: “We’re overwhelmed.” “Our team’s buried in admin.” “We know we’re wasting ...

Hey guys, JC here Back in January, I left my corporate job with a simple plan: Take a break. Breathe. Reset. After years in the noise, I thought I’d slow things down. Spend more time with family. Clear my head. But life had other plans. I fell into the AI space... fast. Started building. Started sharing. Started working with businesses that were genuinely excited about what’s possible. And before I knew it, I was in it. All in. Meetings. Building, Educating, Late nights. Wins stacking up. Mom...

Morning guys, JC here 6 months ago, I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me this. Next week, I’ll be sitting down with someone on the Top 200 Rich List of Australia. Talking all things AI, business, and how we might work together. Not because I chased some VC. Not because I posted some viral thread. But because I’ve been building day by day and backing myself. And more importantly because someone in my network opened the door. That’s the part people forget. Sometimes, the biggest opp...

Hey y’all — JC here.We talk a lot about what AI does for your business. Saves time. Reduces cost. Boosts output. All true. But there’s one benefit that’s rarely talked about and probably the most valuable: Headspace. Mental clarity. That feeling of not being mentally loaded 24/7.It started with something simpleA while back I automated a basic task I used to do every morning: → Checking three tools for updates → Noting down a few things for a team → Sending a quick summary message It wasn’t ro...

Hey y’all, JC here.Let’s talk real for a second. Everyone’s obsessed with tools right now. “What’s the best AI writer?” “What agent builder should I use?” “Is this better than that?” But here’s the truth: You don’t need more tools. You need a system.Tools come and go. Systems compound.I’ve seen it over and over, Founders stacking half a dozen shiny AI tools into their stack… …and still manually exporting CSVs every Friday. It’s not about what tools you have. It’s about how they talk to each o...

Hey y’all — it’s JC. 18 months ago, I was like a lot of people: Drowning in AI tool launches. Trying to test everything. Not really sure where to start or where it was going. ChatGPT this. ChatGPT that. Daily launches. Shiny objects. More noise than direction. But somewhere in that mess… I got curious. Started tinkering. And then — I started building. What started as a few personal projects turned into helping friends, family then businesses. I realised the biggest skill wasn’t learning every...
