Hey hey. Arvell here.
It’s been a few weeks since my last post.
Well technically I’ve published on a few other places (which I’ll talk about in a minute) but nothing here lately.
And that’s why I wanted to catch up.
I’ve got a few changes and opportunities to discuss.
1. AI is still changing, but only faster -
Keeping up with AI news is tough.
And its only increasing.
Trying to follow the changes and test the developments can be a full time job.
But for those of us who have a life outside of AI, we have to continually refine our focus, time and attention.
The skill of curation.
Selectively choosing what to pay attention to and when.
This includes not only the volume or frequency…
But the sources we choose to trust.
2. Wanna Borrow my 350k+ AI Readers via “The Download”
The Download.ai is a new-ish AI newsletter with over 350,000 subscribers.
It goes out 2x per week to keep you in the know, without being overwhelmed with daily updates.
In January I started managing the content and sponsors and partners.
This has shifted my focus quite a bit, but I still want to engage personally.
Now for those who would be interested in “borrowing” access to my 350,000 AI readers I’d love to talk.
I’m looking for interesting people, stories, events and products to feature.
» That could be you!?
The process is SUPER easy. :)
No- it’s not free, but cheaper, faster, and more effective than building your own list or trying to navigate Meta Ads.
*I promise to make your campaign worth you time. :)
» Message me, email, or text me.
3. The Future of this Newsletter
One of my original goals for the year was to start a YouTube Channel.
Then I discovered all the video features added and offered on Substack…
So I posted the AI Sales Booster Kit on January.
But I’m still deciding my cadence and content focus…
Plus I’m just more busy.
While there’s a lot still up in the air, I am know I want to refine my message and focus.
I called this “AI Workflows for Wealth” because I wanted to align AI, Marketing and Sales.
Without a corporate feel.
And now that I have TheDownload and realize how important AI news is, I think I’ll shift the focus here even more.
I want to keep the themes of AI & Sales/Wealth, but I feel the need to add even more personal development and change management themes.
Adopting AI is really a mindset, not a technique.
It’s not about prompting or courses.
It’s behavior. A daily decision.
And AI’s capabilities are not an end but a means….
Our “end” is based on the values and vision.
So to reconcile all this, I feel like renaming and refocusing is needed.
(No idea what I’ll change to yet)
But for now, I will try to lean in on more of the stories of my own adoption struggles and successes.
4. Community Anyone?
Whether I add video or not..
Shift the content or not…
I want to lean into community.
Not a monologue but a dynamic conversation.
There are many social elements to this platform… how do we embrace them and bring more meaningful engagement?
That’s all I have for now…
