Creator Leverage: Master AI. Build Systems. Grow Your Business

I wrote a series of books about creativity a few years ago. To my surprise, The Power of Creativity ended up with thousands of 5-star reviews and became a best-seller in Brazil, of all places. I eventually wrote two sequels to address the questions readers were asking. I’m not sharing that to brag. I’m sharing it because I’ve spent years obsessing over why some creators finish their work while others stay stuck. I'm also sharing because I opened the Creator White Space Challenge this week....

Late last year, I created the Creator White Space Challenge for newsletter subscribers. I launched the Challenge in November and refined it based on feedback from early customers.

I spent the past few days doing a mini-annual review. I pulled down a fancy Moleskine notebook from my bookshelf–the kind I'm usually too precious to write in. At 6 am the other morning, I jotted down a list of things I want to do more and less of this year. Out: Coaching and Consulting. This type of work drains me. Publishing at scale on social media. I couldn't give a hoot about dubious engagement metrics, likes and shares. I'll still create for my socials, but my list comes first. Sales...

Viewers are not loving it. The Madmen at McDonald's used AI for a rather awful Christmasy ad Cue pseudo X outrage And a scramble to take the ad down. US production company The Sweetshop is behind the ad. Chief executive Melanie Bridge claimed thousands of takes (Perhaps she means AI outputs) "This wasn't an AI trick. It was a film," she doth protested too much I'm not sure why people are so surprised about fast-food brands experimenting with AI to cut costs. Whatever you think about the ad,...

I was a content publisher for years. I published tens of thousands of words a week with the help of a team of writers and editors. Those days are over. These days I consider myself more of a builder.

I spent 30 days turning business school theory into actual tools. I coded ones for The ANSOFF Matrix SWOT Analysis Porter’s 5 Forces McKinsey 7-S Framework Business Model Canva Porter’s 5 Forces Business theory is grand and all.
