Hi Reader,

We’re officially in the second half of the year! Wild, right?

September always feels like a reset: the kids are back in school, vacations are wrapping up, and business starts picking back up after that midsummer slowdown. So if you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to dive back in, this is it.

Here’s what’s new and worth checking out this month 👇

NEWS AND UPDATES

EVENTS YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS

The Ease & Alignment Bundle kicks off September 12, and yes, it’s completely free. If your business growth feels like it’s patched together with duct tape, this is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.

I’ll be dropping the link in a couple of days, so keep an eye out if you’re ready to join us.

The AI Creator Club is almost here! 🎉 It's a monthly space built for action, not overload. Each drop gives you tools, prompts, and tutorials to help you build smarter systems, create faster, and grow with clarity (not chaos).

CHALLENGE I'M LOVING

STILL WRITING EMAILS LIKE IT'S 2009?

Same.

Well... until I found this.

The newsletterNINJA™ Challenge – REPLAY, hosted by Jonathan Mast, is like giving your email list a double espresso shot - but with AI.

  • Want ChatGPT to write better newsletters than most humans?
  • Want lead magnets that actually get clicks (instead of crickets)?
  • Want to design visuals without rage-quitting Canva?

Cool. It’s all inside this 3-day workshop replay. It’s $147 and it takes you straight to the good stuff.

JUST FOR FUN

LET'S RAP

I tested out Higgsfield.ai and wow, I’m kind of hooked. It’s not perfect, but it’s ridiculously easy. You just upload a photo and boom, it spits out a video you could use for a reel (that’s just one option).

😅Don’t ask what I was saying, but the beat slapped. Give it a try and hit reply to tell me what you think. Worst case? You get a solid laugh today

This is getting long so, just remember:

September isn’t “catch-up” season, it's a “clean-slate” season.
You don’t have to make up for August. You just have to start fresh (and go have a little fun).

Here’s to a strong month ahead!

Hey Reader! Something caught my attention this week, and I've been sitting with it long enough that I wanted to share it with you before the weekend. A few things happened in the AI and digital business space that, on the surface, look like separate news stories. When I look at them together, though, they tell one bigger story and I think it's worth a few minutes of your time. ThriveCart just announced ThriveCart Academy. I sat in on their live webinar, and honestly, I had to pause when I saw...

Hey Reader! I had a conversation recently that stuck with me. She said, "I think I need to get better at content." And I got it. That's where most of us go first. More ideas. More posts. More effort to figure it out. But when we looked a little closer, something else became obvious. Her content wasn't the issue. Let's jump into what is... Clear people create clear content. When you know who you're speaking to in a real, grounded way, your message starts to land with a lot more ease. You stop...

Hey Reader! I don’t say this lightly… But this was one of those weeks where AI quietly shifted from “helpful” to actually strategic. Not louder.Not flashier.Just… smarter. And if you’re a digital product creator trying to keep up, here’s what actually matters (without the noise). Speaking of using AI instead of overthinking it… You don’t need to code to build a landing page anymore… you just need a smarter workflow. • Claude maps your strategy + writes the copy• Manus turns it into a live...
