I have been using your workflow and it’s been going great. The skill continues to get better as you use it more as well. Like you said you have to assume this is the worst it will be and it’s pretty damn good if you give it the right context and actually give it feedback. Awesome you’re applying it to your team and testing it at scale!
Day 5: Creative Strategy Journey
Birthday and Ecom Uni launch same day! Back to the work week as well still just grinding as hard as ever. Trying to push out at least a concept per day.
Day 4: Creative Strategy Journey
Working on a song ad tonight been very excited to try this format music is such an interesting way to capture attention. It allows you to create so much emotion and is very engaging.
One thing I’ve learned today is that your scripting and generations are only as good as your prep. The more time you put into dialing that prep phase and doing the hard parts the smoother everything else is.
Very excited for this week. Have a some concepts planned out that I want to cook up. Getting closer to that first big winner every day.

From Construction and Reselling to Ecom:
I started working in the trades at 16. Specifically tile installation. It’s the family trade, working for the family business. It’s respectable and I have built skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. But this whole time there has been something missing.
I first noticed this when I got into reselling. I started sourcing and curating vintage clothing from the 30s to the 90s. I built a decent following and generated around 30k in sales while working full time. I thought I had found it, but still I would wake up every morning feeling unfulfilled wanting to serve a bigger purpose. I knew if I could flip a torn up shirt for $100 anything was possible. That’s when I realized, e-commerce.
I had slightly touched dropshipping when I was younger before starting tile but never fully dove in due to so many limiting beliefs. So I started devouring everything I could about this space and almost got stuck in so many different rabbit holes lol. But I realized there is no “method” the only way to win is to build valuable skills.
So that is my entire mission. I am going to learn and develop every skill needed to become the most successful version of myself. Whatever that looks like.
This is truly just the beginning of an epic journey. I am so hyped to be able to document this to be able to look back on.
Day 3: Creative Strategy Journey
I spent today working a bit more with agentic editing through Claude code. Have to say I’m pretty happy with the results. Definitely have to work with it a bit on things like ai animation but every time the skill gets more and more dialed.
How do you feel about ai editing? Don’t get me wrong I love editing and will continue growing that skill but how will the role of an “editor” change over the next 6 months? Just interesting to think about.
Ending the night off working my way through new @ecomuniversity modules. Super saucy. Truly such a blessing to have people around that really want to teach and help people grow.
Nothing major in spend today but creeping up everyday. Just an ad away from changing my life.
Day 2: Creative Strategy Journey
Cooked up a banger cartoon ad can’t wait to see how it performs. With every ad I complete I feel my execution getting better and better.
Lately I have been super inspired by these deeply emotional and personal story ads. AI allows us to be so creative with visuals and put the customer in the exact situation they would actually find themselves in. People don’t like to be sold, they like to be heard and seen
Wrapping up today late, so glad for the weekend for some time away from work to grind out some concepts.
Day 1: Creative Strategy Journey
Got off work and hopped straight into building a concept I had been thinking about all day. Got everything scripted and ready to generate and cut together.
My biggest goal right now is to get out of my 9-5 and take this full time. I am submitting ad bountys everyday for @ecomuniversity doing full creative strategy working on dialing that skill.
Super hyped to start doing outreach and land a full time client.
