Hey Reader,

As you're reading this, I'll be on stage at the Econome conference in Cincinnati speaking about financial independence. (The talk will be on YouTube shortly.)

I've also sent two issues of our new newsletter Future-Proof your Career with AI.

I'll do wacky stuff like play with the $200 version of ChatGPT for a week to help you decide if it's worth it.

Each week, this free newsletter will cover:

• Real-World AI Applications
• AI Tools & Tutorials
• Practical AI Strategies for your Career
• Insider Case Studies
