[Weekly 5] August 8th, 2025


Hey Reader,

Happy Friday! I made a lot of content this week, so this edition is mostly just my stuff, but I promise it's good!

But first, a quick promo to keep the lights on for this newsletter. πŸ€ͺ

Plaud AI Note: The Only AI Wearable Worth Using

I've been the guinea pig for every AI wearable that has come out. All of them, and I'm not being dramatic here, have been terrible. That is why the Plaud AI note pin was such a breath of fresh air. It is Legit with a capital L.

Quote of the Week

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - Chinese Proverb

I've been thinking about this one a lot lately. We spend so much energy regretting missed opportunities or wishing we'd started something sooner. But every day you wait is another day you could have been building. Whether it's that side hustle, learning a new skill, or finally outsourcing that task you hate - today is still better than tomorrow.


This AI Tool Actually Makes Good YouTube Thumbnails

​

I tested Pikzels AI for creating YouTube thumbnails, and I'm genuinely impressed. Unlike most AI tools that promise the world and deliver garbage, this one actually works.

The persona feature lets you clone yourself for thumbnails, and while it's not perfect, it's way better than anything else I've tried. Fair warning: it's not cheap at $28/month, but if you're making money from content, it pays for itself quickly.

When Athlete Income-Sharing Goes Horribly Wrong

This story about Emmanuel Clase is fascinating and terrifying. Investors bought shares in his future baseball earnings through a company called Finlete.

Now he's under investigation for gambling and could face a lifetime MLB ban. The investors who thought they were getting a piece of his success might lose everything. It's a perfect example of why "guaranteed" investments rarely are.

Another AI Tool Worth Checking Out: Poppy AI

​

While we're talking AI tools, I've been using Poppy AI to analyze my old content and courses. You can upload videos, PDFs, blog posts - basically anything - and then chat with it like it's ChatGPT but with your specific knowledge base. I used it to help write my new book by feeding it all my old blog posts. The credit system is tricky, but if you use the code EAM, you'll get 25% off.

P.S. The kitchen sink thing might sound silly, but try it next time you're feeling stuck. Sometimes the smallest actions create the biggest shifts.
