Last week we hosted our first AI summit, the AI Content Mastery Summit. We had 24 amazing speakers. Thousands of attendees signed up and watched the sessions. I also spoke on 5 live Q&A's with my co-host Simone Lea. Overall it was a great week that I believe will be a turning point for the brand. And there's 1 reason why it was a success... Before I get to that, if you missed any of the summit... don't worry. We'll be releasing it on Youtube over the next 3 months. In fact, check out our new BigMoves AI Clips channel to get access to bite-size snippets of each talk. Perfect for those wanting to save time. Or use this link to be redirected to the YouTube app on your phone. Now the #1 reason why we started to gain momentum is because of a lesson I learned about 6 years ago. And still ignored it over the past 2 years. The lesson is this: "If you're business is not growing as fast as you want it to it's because you're not spending 80% of your time on marketing and sales" I knew this already. My last business grew quickly because we focused on that rule. But the last 2 years I admit that I got side-tracked by AI so much and I spent most of my time building things. Instead of marketing things... I'm willing to bet that a large part of my audience (maybe you) could be getting distracted too. So this is your reminder. Focus on growth and you'll begin to grow. For us, focusing on growth meant:
This is how we'll continue to see massive growth moving forward. Hope this helps! |

It's not Claude Code. It's not Cowork. It's the same two tools I've been using since the start. Airtable and n8n. Last week we were deep in prep for the AI Content Creator Summit. 23+ speakers, sessions, promo assets, the works. The system we've built on Airtable + n8n saved us 104 hours in 7 days. Now here's the thing... I use Claude every day. I max out my plan most days. And I still think Airtable + n8n is more powerful for the work that actually moves the business. Three reasons. 1. The...
For two years I've been watching AI image tools improve. Every few months a new one would launch. Every creator would hype it up. Then I'd test it on real client work and the output was... fine. Usable. But not totally something I'm stoked about. Recently that changed. GPT Image 2 is good! Really good!!! The thumbnails it's producing for the summit videos in our AI system is crazy. All done with a training image and a prompt we've refined over 3 months. So what we're doing now is going back...
Getting sick last year was one of the best things that happened to me. It didn't feel that way at the time. I had to let go of 3 team members while trying to get BigMoves AI off the ground. It was rough. But looking back... it forced something I wouldn't have done otherwise. It forced me back into the weeds of business. Here's the trap most experienced business owners fall into with AI. If you've been running a team for years, you've been trained to delegate. Something not worth your time?...
