An entrepreneur's recipe for sweet success

3.6min Read

Because one of my promises here is full transparency, I want to let you in on the happy.

It’s 11:24 on Thursday right now and I’m writing this in between calls. I have another call at 12 and then one and 1.

My NORMAL time to write this is early in the morning on Thursday and then usually post it later in the afternoon to be sent on Sunday. But this morning I got up and was going to go for a walk (and dictate this email) and I hear my oldest daughter get up.

I went up and got her and we went on the walk together. It was AWESOME. So worth it.

Alright, so let’s dive in. This week is straight to the point tactical with some very relevant takeaways that I want you to pay attention to.

What I’m covering:

You can build ANYWHERE.. literally.
You can build ANYTHING… when and why it matters
The importance of your life experience

Each of these are their own little bits, but don't worry, I’ll leave you with the mysterypreneur link and AI juice at the end.

You can build ANYWHERE.. literally.

Sunday night (yes, father’s day) I flew out to Utah for a workshop on Monday. It was awesome, but in hindsight, I won’t leave on Fathers Day again, that sucked. BUT, while ai was there I got to go deeeeeep with AI and be in the room with a ton of other business owners who are changing the landscape here. With that said, we were BUILDING all day. It was great! In the background, I was working on client projects as well. Mid day I started one and thought I’d finish it in no time…

Well, I ALMOST did. But then the workshop was over and I realized I needed to catch an uber, get to the airport an catch my flight back. But I wasn’t done and I needed to lock down the project with a 2FA ASAP.

So, because tech is amazing, I turned on my hot spot in the back of the uber and whipped out my laptop to finish it on the way to the airport. DONE. You can literally build anywhere. As another example, this is a step by step guide I made for you on how you can use your phone and the codex app to build and access things on your computer even when you aren’t by it.

Basic setup:

Install Codex on your computer.
Sign into the same account on your phone.
Open your project in Codex.
Use “Set up Codex mobile” in the Codex app.
Scan the QR code with your phone.
Keep the computer awake and online.
Control the work from your phone while you’re away.

Simple mental model:
Phone sends instructions.
Codex connects securely.
Computer does the actual work.
You approve, review, and steer from anywhere.

You can build ANYTHING… when and why it matters

It’s very possible to get carried away with this. So part of me writing this is to tell you about the cool things that you can build and that you can do. But another part of me writing this is so that you understand that you don’t always have to build something out. More time might be spent building something out than just using what already exists. So it’s a matter of figuring out the right use case to spend your time building something.

Because you don’t always have to. With that said, one thing that I’m working on is super simple, but also very useful. I have a book that is called Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. And what it is an entire book on muscles and where different pain points or aches occur on your body and the trigger points to those and how to resolve those aches and pains. I’ve had it for years and every time I have something that comes up, I go into that book, I figure out where my trigger point is and then I start working through what it tells me I need to do to resolve it.

It’s a large task to go through the book, figure out exactly what page I need to look at, where the trigger point is, and then read through everything that I need to do in order to resolve the ache or the pain. What I wanted was a super simple user interface where I could chat with it in natural language, telling it exactly what’s going on, and then for it to reference the book and tell me exactly what I needed to do.

So that’s what I built!

I converted the book into a markdown file and then I used the markdown file to build a user interface that I can chat with and that will reference everything in the book and then describe back to me what I need to do. Super simple, but also super useful! This in my mind is a use case that it would be worth building something out for, and so I did!

There was a problem that I have and I’m solving the problem. But that’s not always the case. This took me 10 minutes to put together. Very easy!

But if you find yourself working on something for hours or days or weeks, I would encourage you to take a step back and think: is this something that I should be working on right now? What is the return of my time investment in this thing? Do I just want to work on it because I enjoy the process, or is there an actual end result that I believe is possible by me working on this?

And if you can answer those questions and you still think it’s worth working on, go for it!

The importance of your life experience

By far, the biggest takeaway from the workshop that I was in on Monday is that the most important thing that we can have is the life experience that we have gathered over the years. It’s the wisdom, the knowledge base, the experience, the unique thumbprint that we have as humans here on this earth That is valuable. It’s not the tools, it’s not the AI model, it’s not the wrappers or the skills, or whatever people are posting about on Twitter — it’s the experience that you have!

Here’s a great example that I want to share with you. There’s a website called Stack Overflow. For almost two decades, Stack Overflow was the place that developers and engineers would go to ask questions and seek answers for different coding and development issues. It was the one location where if you had a problem that you couldn’t solve, Stack Overflow would help you solve it. These were all human verified, and the solutions were then collected and archived. It just snowballed into a huge knowledge base where people would get help with their development problems.

But then AI really came on the scene. And instead of people going to Stack Overflow, they were going to chat GPT to ask the development questions that they had. Much easier, much faster.

Some people said that this was the end of Stack Overflow. But Stack Overflow knew something that those people didn’t know — that the value they bring is in the experience and the knowledge base that they have. It’s not in the website itself. Even though the visits and the traffic to their website went down 70%, they were able to increase their revenue during that time.

But how did they do it? They hit up the large LLMs — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google — these large companies producing AI models — and said, “Hey, we have 15 years of a knowledge base with answers and context that you need to train your AI models on. We will license our knowledge to you.” And now they have far less visitors to their site, but they’re making more money!

If that’s not an incredible pivot and example of seeking the opportunities at hand, I don’t know what is!

Well, there you have it! It is 11:50 AM right now. I have a call in 10 minutes and I busted this out. Some of it was typed, some of it was dictated, but all of it was done with love.

How to vibecode cool stuff to use at a conference:

Create a contact card website

Generate a QR code for it

Add the QR code to a fun image (in this case my digital plane ticket)

Save it to your lock screen

When people ask for your contact, show them this to scan

The Hormozis are pregnant with their first.

Now Codie Sanchez is, too.

The earth is healing. Very bullish on the business influencer fertility rate in 2026. 🤣

In all seriousness, both people and couples are incredible humans.
