ISSUE #75 Welcome to the Forward Obsessed Founder, my newsletter with insights, awesome tools, and real-world advice to grow your business and career. GO FORWARD THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ➡️ A few weeks ago, I watched a 19-year-old make smarter strategic decisions than most executives twice her age. She wasn’t improvising. She wasn’t just lucky. She was thinking with AI, treating it like a partner, not a novelty. When she received a job offer, she didn’t call a mentor or scribble a pros and cons...

ISSUE #74 Welcome to the Forward Obsessed Founder, my newsletter with insights, awesome tools, and real-world advice to grow your business and career. GO FORWARD THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ➡️ A few weeks ago, I was killing time between Zoom meetings. Just needed to reset my brain for a minute. So I pulled up a product I liked and thought: “Let’s see what AI can really do.” I opened Veo3, wrote a clean prompt (nothing wild, just clear and specific) and hit enter. Thirty seconds later, I had something...

ISSUE #72 Welcome to the Forward Obsessed Founder, my newsletter with insights, awesome tools, and real-world advice to grow your business and career.

But first, here’s how I figured out the right questions to ask. I ran my entire communication history through Claude to scan thousands of my messages. I...

ISSUE #71 Welcome to the Forward Obsessed Founder, my newsletter with insights, awesome tools, and real-world advice to grow your business and career. GO FORWARD THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ➡️ The most successful marketers I know right now aren’t trying to sound like ChatGPT. They’re working overtime to make sure they don’t. They’re what I call Centaur Marketers: part human intuition, part machine precision. They use AI not to replace their voice, but to sharpen it. Not to do the work for them, but...

ISSUE #70 Welcome to the Forward Obsessed Founder, my newsletter with insights, awesome tools, and real-world advice to grow your business and career. GO FORWARD THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ➡️ I used to think AI was all business. Make content faster. Automate my calendar. Scale without hiring. But then something changed. My 3-year-old became obsessed with screens. Trucks, fire engines, tractors, you name it. And like a lot of parents, I was worried. He wasn’t playing. He wasn’t imagining. He was...

ISSUE #69 Welcome to the Forward Obsessed Founder, my newsletter with insights, awesome tools, and real-world advice to grow your business and career. GO FORWARD THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ➡️ When I first wrote about vibe coding, some people praised it, others dunked on it. That’s how I knew it was worth paying attention to.

ISSUE #68 Welcome to the Forward Obsessed Founder, my newsletter with insights, awesome tools, and real-world advice to grow your business and career. GO FORWARD THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ➡️ Pretty soon, your customers won’t be browsing websites. They’ll just tell their AI what they want and it will handle the rest. Shopping is done by speaking: “Find me an organic cotton tee in navy, olive, or black. Under $50. Free shipping” No scrolling. No clicking. No brand comparison. If your product checks...

ISSUE #67 Welcome to the Forward Obsessed Founder, my newsletter with insights, awesome tools, and real-world advice to grow your business and career. GO FORWARD THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ➡️ I'm surprised more people haven't figured out what OpenAI is doing. They're not building a chatbot, research assistant, agentic workforce, programmer, or gibli-fication machine. OpenAI is building your digital twin. They're going to release "Sign in with" soon, same as your Google or Apple account. But this...
