👋 Hi! I'm Dan. I help makers, artists, entrepreneurs, and creatives find the clarity and motivation to get their work out into the world. If that sounds good, let's go! 🚀 Hi [FIRST NAME GOES HERE], If you've ever felt like life has thrown you a curveball, this one's for you. I sat down with my good friend Raj to talk about the challenge and magic of transitions, embracing change, and betting on yourself. I love this conversation. It's deep. And I laughed a lot. It's like peanut butter and chocolate: the best combo. Here are a few things we cover:
We also are trialing a new format. I'd love to hear how it feels to you! Plus: listen to the end, and you'll hear us talk about how we'd like you're involvement in the next phase of the Meaning Movement. Are you ready to turn those curveballs into home runs? Let's go! Watch, read, or listen in here: https://themeaningmovement.com/next-version
In Case You Missed it:A few recent posts and articles across platforms From LinkedIn:📰 I used to be locked-up in imposter syndrome. But I found 2️⃣ keys ideas to unlock it... 📰 Every endeavor has two outcomes. Don’t miss the second one, like I did. From the Newsletter:✉️ Why do Hard Things? ✉️ Launch Your Dream Project ✉️ Crafting a Creative Career Things I'm enjoyingI love sharing what I'm into. Here's some current favs! Kettlebells 💪Three times a week, my wife and I are swinging, pressing, snatching, and squatting with some heavy hunks of metal. It's so much fun! Kettlebells are simple and efficient. The movements you do with them are compound and functional. That's a fancy way of saying they hit multiple muscle groups and mimic the kinds of things you do IRL. If you don't know where to start, check out the videos from Lebe Stark — a gym in Switzerland (?). They're great fun! Legendary Foods 🧁🍩I bought some protein bars for a trip I was on. I was woo-ed by the packaging on these, and then fell in love. Legendary Foods makes protien packed junk food. I prefer to eat unprocessed. But in a pinch or when you want a treat, these are unbelievable. Shaan Puri's X/Twitter Round Up NewsletterShaan hosts one of the top podcasts, My First Million. It's a solid show.

Hi Reader, Everyone’s talking about “AI agents” right now. But most people are confused about where automation stops and agents begin. Here’s the truth: they’re not as distinct as the charts make them seem. Automation: If this happens, do that. Boolean logic. Predefined rules. Fast, reliable, but rigid. AI automation: Same structure, but now you’re calling an LLM for one or more steps. Still deterministic overall, but with flexibility where you need it. AI agent: Non-deterministic. Adaptive....
Hi Reader, Save this (you’ll use it weekly). The right prompt is like magic. It gets you dependable results every time. It takes the frustration out of the creation process. It’s the foundation of a rock solid and repeatable workflow. But here’s the thing: A prompt needs to be custom to your task. So most copy-and-paste prompts aren’t valuable. Instead, you need to learn the Meta Prompt™. What it is: AI knows how to use AI better than people. Meta Prompting is using AI to create your prompt...
Hi Reader, ChatGPT has a hidden unlock that most people don’t know about. It’s called Project memory control. And it solves one of the biggest frustrations with using AI for multiple things: the messy, tangled memory that bleeds into everything. The Problem with a Shared Brain Memory is nice. It gives AI context so you don’t have to repeat yourself. But it’s messy. It remembers that one-off search you did for a gift and thinks it’s your new career path. It mixes the feedback from a client...
