For well over a decade, I’ve been lucky to call Chris Guillebeau a friend. He’s one of those people who seems to operate on a different wavelength, consistently living out the very advice he shares with the world. Long before we had terms like “creator economy” or “side hustle,” Chris was quietly and methodically showing people how to build a life on their own terms. His core message has always been a powerful one: you...

Midjourney is incredible, full stop. With its v7 model and a polished web interface, it’s a creative powerhouse that has set the bar for quality and aesthetic. For a long time, it’s been the undisputed king of AI image generation (and still is IMO). But if you’re on a budget, it may not be an option when the “Mega Plan” is $1,152 a year. That said, if you’re a pro, you’re not just looking for...

When I think of Mark Cuban, I don’t just think of the highlight reel, the big numbers, or the TV personality. I think of the sheer, relentless force of will and a mindset that every single creative and entrepreneur can learn from. He’s a guy who started out selling garbage bags door-to-door and taught himself to code, driven by a competitive fire and an insatiable curiosity that’s still burning today.
