If you went to law school, you can succeed in any career.
I have law degrees from two countries and passed the bar at 21. I never became a lawyer. Now I run my own AI marketing agency and build my personal brand.
The lawyer version of me in a parallel universe would probably ask, “Was law school a waste?”
I’m doing really well, actually. And I’m using exactly what I learned in law school.
I watched alumni who’d made partner go on TV, write articles, and give interviews. When people needed a lawyer, they already knew who to call. That’s how I learned the value of a personal brand.
At the firms where I interned, one lawyer would bring in the client and others would bring expertise in funds or M&A. They’d agree on who did what, what to charge, and how to split the fees. Together, they could take on much bigger matters. Before I even graduated, I’d seen how an established industry wins clients and makes collaboration work. That gave me a model for my agency. Take what you learned and go slay in whatever industry you want.

Don’t let law school box you in. You really can slay in any industry.

I'll show you how to get your own AI secretary in 2 minutes.

Chatbots answer. Work agents work on your computer. Personal agents have their own cloud computer, like a coworker you can text.

Comment GUIDE and I'll DM you my start guide.

@ex_nab Thank you for your reminder!

A follower DM’d me on LinkedIn yesterday. Less than 24 hours later, I woke up to a flood of messages and connection requests.
All I did was reply. I like staying in touch with people who follow my work, so we got talking. Turns out she has over 5,500 LinkedIn followers and a knack for writing posts that take off. Right after we talked, she put up a post that opened with “LINKEDIN, you SCARES ME. 💀” She wrote about finding me on RedNote through a post where I pushed back on the idea that marriage should be a woman’s main goal under the topic of SOTA Wives. Then she wrote about how our conversation got her thinking about moving to the Bay Area and switching from software engineering to marketing.

Her post has already hit a million views. I’m blown away by how quickly she saw a story in a conversation I’d thought of as just a chat. We’ve made plans to talk about how she grows on LinkedIn and see what we might work on together.

All in less than 24 hours. That’s the long tail of building a personal brand. Someone can get to know how you think long before you meet, so by the time they say hi, you already have something real to talk about.

Really glad I got to attend a private @StartX info session for aspiring founders last week. StartX is a nonprofit accelerator and community for @Stanford-affiliated founders. I came away with a much better sense of what founders can get access to, from experienced mentors and startup resources to a network of people who’ve built companies themselves. My favorite part was talking with Rebecca Lin, a StartX mentor and the co-founder and CEO of Toro Bio. She’s spent years working in medtech and is now building robotic systems to automate cell therapy manufacturing. Hearing from someone who’s building a healthcare company herself made it easier to picture what that support looks like in practice. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Rebecca!

I’m screen recording my AI-native video editing workflow right now!!! I can’t wait to share the full step-by-step tutorial with you!

In the meantime, grab my three open-source skills and send the links straight to your AI agent.

@chenzhangreal @chatcutapp Should have a try!

[koki @kokiainet]

For $25 a month, I can now run all my social media by myself!
No hired video editor. No agency. No outsourced distribution.
I recently told friends this, and they immediately asked me to share the workflow. So here it is.
Most of it runs through Codex, connected to @chatcutapp for video editing. I use @bot and @Muse for distribution.

Here’s how it works.

1. Written whenever inspiration hits.

One idea can become a written post, a short video, and a longer YouTube video.

Sometimes I dictate because I’m excited about something and have far too much to say. You can use a voice-dictation tool like @typelessdotcom for this. Sometimes I’m typing notes on my phone whenever I have a few spare minutes. You might catch me writing up a storm on @Caltrain.

At that point, the material can be messy. There might be an argument without enough evidence, a reference I need to track down, or a fact that needs checking.

I ask @Codex to help research those gaps, find sources, and verify the claims. Then I review and revise the draft.

Once the written version is clear, I already have most of what I need for a video.

This stage can feed into Substack or Medium. A tool such as @Statkraft can prepare a Markdown draft as formatted text to paste into their editors.

2. Record whenever I have time.

I already have the script, so recording becomes much easier to fit into my day.

I take out my phone, load the script into a teleprompter, and record. If you need an English-language option, @BIGVU lets you read a scrolling script while recording on your phone.

3. Let Codex handle the editing through @chatcutapp.

I used to hire video editors. Now I use the ChatCut plugin inside Codex for both my short videos and my longer YouTube videos.

It handles several parts of the process:

• Speech cleanup: removing failed takes, repeated starts, and excessive pauses.

• Captions: transcribing the recording, applying a caption style, and checking the wording against the script we already worked on.

• Supporting visuals: finding relevant material from my existing files, looking for additional sources when needed, and placing the visuals alongside the right part of the explanation.

• Composition: arranging screenshots, source material, captions, and my talking-head footage so the important information stays readable.

If I’m explaining a screenshot, I want people to see the screenshot. My face can move into a smaller window. The captions need to stay clear of both my face and the information I’m showing.

If I see a layout I like, I can give Codex a screenshot as a reference for the colors, typography, and composition, then ask it to build titles or motion graphics through ChatCut.

I also save my recurring preferences in the Skills I wrote:

• How the opening title should look.
• How captions should be grouped.
• Where supporting images should go.
• Which photos and text belong in the closing.
• How to keep the whole video visually consistent.

Once those instructions are written down, I can reuse them for the next video.

4. Schedule the finished content.

I use @bot to schedule posts on X, and @Muse to schedule Instagram and Threads posts.

My core subscription setup is:
• ChatGPT Plus, which includes Codex: $20/month.
• ChatCut: $25/month.

I open-sourced my three skills: writing, short video editing, and long video editing.

The links are in the first reply. You can adapt the instructions to your own voice, visual style, and publishing platforms.

If you try them, I’d love to see what you make.

Anger is what keeps me posting.

I talked to a creator who gained 5k+ LinkedIn followers in a month, and we agreed that if you want to build a personal brand that lasts, you need a reason to keep posting beyond money.

She wants millions of people to read her stories. Even if a post makes her $0, knowing it reached someone feels like a reward.

For me it’s anger. When I see a company distilling its employees, I want to build an AI skill that helps them push back. When I see homeless in San Francisco, I want to understand what would actually help them get housed and keep more people from ending up there.
