In 2016, I was 31, single and broke, in a tiny apartment in Singapore with $0 left.
I borrowed $30k from my mom and lost that too.
3 months later I hit my first 7-figure month.
Here's what nobody tells you about rock bottom:
Found a really nice couch for my place in Tokyo. They told me it's going to take three months to deliver.
Bro, 3 months?
Living in Hong Kong really makes you realise how fast things move here.
For 30 years, your laptop said "Intel Inside."
Jensen Huang just decided it should say something else.
RTX Spark is NVIDIA's first PC chip ever.
No cloud. No internet. No monthly fees.
Built specifically, in Jensen's own words, as "a Windows platform for agents."
What caught my attention was the kind of leverage it can create.
Every AI tool I've tested, and I've tested a lot, resets the moment you close the session.
All your preferences and context are just gone. Back to square one every single time.
The fact that these tools don't remember you is the biggest problem and not their cost or latency.
I've watched three platform shifts over 20 years.
PCs to mobile. Mobile to cloud. Cloud to AI.
Each shift where the operators who caught it early built the biggest advantages.
This is that moment for local AI.
Jensen said something on stage that most people glossed over:
"The world is no longer limited by the number of people. Those agents are going to use more tools than ever."
He's talking about a laptop that runs a team of agents 24/7. Even while you sleep.
NVIDIA's quarterly revenue now roughly equals Intel and AMD's combined annual total.
That company decided to enter into the PC chip business.
The operators who understand what shifted will build on this infrastructure first.
Everyone else will catch up in two years and wonder why the gap opened.
I was early on Facebook ads in 2008 and almost missed the window by overthinking it.
I'm not overthinking this one.
A skill that will make you more money:
--> Pattern Recognition <--
Get really good at analyzing a lot of "winning things" like:
- Ads
- Pages
- UGC
- Offers
- Products
- Brands
Identify the patterns and things they have in common
Iterate/make it your own
Then execute

"Feels gay to even post this."
6 months ago, Evolve bro was embarrassed to post his $10k/day.
Yesterday, he did $103k on his main store.
And even hit a $65k day on his second store. Same day.
When $100k days are the norm, $10k feels small. That's the point.
100K/day or gay method still too OP.
Lock in.
7 lessons I learned from making $5M with dropshipping:
1. Don't start in the USA: test in smaller EU markets first
2. Speed > perfection: test 1 product/day minimum
3. Outwork everyone: most dropshippers are lazy
4. Consistency > quick wins: work 10hrs/day for a year
5. Double down on what works: I only sell health/beauty now
6. Reinvest everything until €100K/month profit
7. Delegate ASAP: build systems and hire fast
If you look at 99% of the eCom brands killing it in D2C
5M/month brands
10M/month brands
17M/month brands ( s/o @harvey_carnegie - savage)
They understand copywriting at the deepest level
Why?
Because it applies to everything:
- Ad Creatives
- Google Ads
- Landing Pages
- Email & SMS
- Post Purchase Funnels
- Product Naming
- Job Posts
The list goes on and on.
But for marketing specifically
Even though you:
- Do the same amount of research
- Know the same customer desires
- Have the same winning ads prompt
You can't compete.
And it's because you don't know how to actually communicate to customers
AKA
You don't understand copywriting.
Which is why I trenched out 50+ modules on copywriting not just to share with EVOLVE
But to also train my entire team.
Because it's not just about YOU getting better
It's about everyone on your team getting better at copywriting too.
I made $680k in 30 days dropshipping a $35 Shilajit supplement.
I copy pasted the funnel in 30 minutes, generated ads with AI, and launched.
Total setup = 2 hours using AI + Afterlib.
Like & comment "SHILAJIT" and I'll send you the exact funnel and breakdown.

Everyone is learning AI. Almost nobody is using it.
This entire video my face, her face, our voices, Marina Bay, Orchard Road, Singapore none of it is real. All AI.
And while you're still watching tutorials on how to write better prompts, smart business owners are already producing content at 10x the speed for a fraction of the cost.
That's the gap. And it's getting wider every week.
AI isn't a tool. It's leverage. And the entrepreneurs who figure that out first will eat everyone else's lunch.
I spent 20 years building businesses the hard way. Big teams. Big overhead. Big headaches.
Now I do more with less than I ever thought possible.
Follow along I'm sharing everything I'm learning.
