- Online communities in general took off

2024-2025:
- Grifters move onto AI (adoption 2x’d from 33% to 71%).
- People said digital products are dead
- They’re wrong

2026-beyond:
- Digital products can be apps now (75% of new apps are built with no-code tools)
- Things with inherent obvious value that sell themselves.

Digital products have always been the greatest customer acquisition tool ever created.

They cost you nothing to spin up, you can test endlessly, and every customer you get is a credit card on file you can sell to again.

The model will never die.

If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this:

Your excuses are lies you've told yourself so often you believe they're truths.

For years, I told myself no girl would ever want me, so why even try to date?

Excuses justified loneliness, excuses protected me from the pain of rejection.

But the reality?

I was just scared—scared of being vulnerable, scared of feeling unwanted, scared of my own worthiness.

I decided to challenge my own limiting beliefs. I started asking six women a day to join me for a coffee date.

Within 30 days, I'd gone on dozens of dates, had ten women texting 'good morning' daily, and ended up dating a beautiful Southwest flight attendant who fell head over heels in love with me.

Stop lying to yourself. Face the truth, drop the excuses, and finally change your life.

@JustL22866 Don't put yourself down. Pull yourself up.

[Jon Morrow @jonmorrow]

Doctors said I would die before I graduated high school.

Nobody thought I would go to college. Nobody thought I would ever have a girlfriend. Nobody thought I would even survive.

And I realized I had a choice:

I could believe they were right, and I would die…

… or I could decide for myself what my life could be and maybe, just maybe I could prove everyone wrong.

Now I'm 42 years old. I graduated college at the top of my class. I've made millions of dollars from my wheelchair, I get more girls than Leonardo DiCaprio.

(Okay, maybe not quite that many.)

The point?

I don't care how low you are right now. I don't care how many people have given up on you.

You can prove everybody wrong. You are the only one who decides your future.
