By now, you know I’m obsessed—like really obsessed—with getting you the knowledge you need to succeed. Whether it’s through YouTube, this newsletter, or our live builds, I’m always looking for ways to give you the best tools, shortcuts, and frameworks I wish I had when I was starting out.

And now... I’ve got something new for you. 🎉

I just dropped a brand-new GoHighLevel course on Udemy. And here’s the part that’s going to make you either laugh, cry, or question my math skills:

👉 It’s 20 bucks.

Yep. Twenty. Dollars.

This thing is more stacked than half the “premium” courses out there charging $997+. Honestly, my team gave me the look when I set the price. You know the one. This was supposed to be a high-ticket offer. Instead, I priced it like two sad lattes at Starbucks.

Why? Because you’ve heard my story. I didn’t start with much. Getting to where I am now wasn’t just hard—it was brutal. Physically, emotionally, mentally. I made a promise to myself that if I could ever make it easier for the next wave of creators, marketers, and agency owners... I would.

So here it is. Your shortcut.

We already gave early access to some of our VIPs and their reactions?

• “Better than the actual HL Certification course.”

• “Where was this 4 months ago?”

• “You should definitely charge more.”

(I know. But I won’t.)

And yeah, I know you’re wondering—why Udemy?

Simple. That’s where the learners are.
Corporate folks. International users. People stuck in 9-to-5s trying to build their exit ramp. That platform is a goldmine of action-takers. And I want to meet them where they’re at.

Also... why not make it free?
Because I’ve been teaching for over 25 years, and here’s what I know:

Free = Forgettable.

But if you invest even just $20, you’ll show up. Maybe just for a couple of hours. But that’s all I need—because I know once you watch a few lessons, I’ve got you. You’ll see why this is one of the best things I’ve ever made.

So if you’re ready to level up with HighLevel—for less than the cost of a single mediocre DoorDash order—check it out. And if you grab it, do your old pal a favor: leave a (good) review. It helps more people find it and keeps me from raising the price (which, by the way, I don’t control—Udemy does wild stuff with pricing once it’s live).

And here’s the direct link to enroll:

Take it. Recommend it. Or don’t, it’s all good.
But I bet it’ll be the best 20 bucks you’ve ever spent on learning HighLevel.

🚀 Evergreen Webinars Just Got a Whole Lot Smarter (and Easier)

Let’s be real: building webinars can feel like assembling IKEA furniture blindfolded. But HighLevel just dropped something that actually makes sense—and more importantly—makes money.

Introducing: The Evergreen Webinar Builder that plays nice with AI chatbots, custom values, and even your stubborn need to avoid repetitive setup. This isn’t just a new feature; it’s a whole new flow—and it’s slick.

Here’s what went down in the latest build session:

• ✅ One-click Webinar Funnels – You now have a dedicated “Webinar” section inside Sites. It’s basically a pre-built 3-page funnel (registration, watchroom, thank-you) so you don’t need to overthink structure anymore. Think: plug-and-play.

• 🎥 Evergreen Webinar = On-Demand VSL – Upload your video, set the flow, and bam—you’ve got a sales machine running 24/7.

• 🤖 Chat Widget + AI Combo – Here’s where it gets juicy. Add a chatbot directly inside the watchroom. Visitors can watch your video and chat with a bot trained on your content—at the same time. Questions? Bookings? Handled.

• 🧠 Use Knowledge Bases to Train the Bot – Don’t just dump your whole brain in there. Transcribe your video, add a few FAQs and value props to a Google Doc, and use that link as your knowledge base. Your bot stays sharp and focused.

• 💬 Smart Automation – Built-in automations fire off SMS messages 5-15 minutes into the webinar. If the viewer bites, the AI jumps in to continue the convo or book a call. If not? A gentle nudge (or two) follows. No spam, just relevance.

• 🛠 Custom Values = Reusability – Every webinar element is now swap-friendly thanks to account-wide custom values. New webinar? Just update the values. No redesign needed.

Pro Tip:

💡 Want your CTA button to show up only after they’ve actually watched the good stuff? Add a hidden button + timer combo in the watchroom. The button appears after X minutes (say, 5), when your best pitch hits. Keeps the look clean and the intent high.

This update isn’t just about saving time—it’s about stacking conversion-ready assets that you can rinse, repeat, and tailor across niches. The AI helps write your copy, the funnel handles itself, and the bot does sales support. You? You're free to focus on the next strategy move—or sneak in a nap. I won’t judge.

Why This Matters:
Most evergreen webinars are glorified YouTube videos on landing pages. They talk at your leads and pray someone fills out a form. HighLevel’s approach turns your webinar into an interactive experience—with AI-powered live chat, timed CTAs, and smart automations that follow up like a human would. That’s not just cooler tech—it’s better conversion.

Bottom Line:
If you're running any sort of evergreen content—whether for lead gen, sales, or community building—this is the upgrade you've been waiting for. It’s interactive, reusable, and scalable. Set it up once, tweak it with custom values, and it’s good to go every time. One less thing to overthink, and one more tool that works while you sleep.

🧠 Your Newsletter Now Writes Itself (Thanks, AI + HighLevel + N8N)

Raise your hand if writing your weekly newsletter is somewhere between “I’ll do it later” and “I’ll just quit marketing altogether.” Yeah—same. But what if I told you your newsletter could write itself, schedule itself, and send itself—all without you lifting more than a couple fingers?

That’s exactly what we’re doing now thanks to HighLevel, AI, and a powerful little tool called N8N (think: Zapier’s smarter, more ambitious cousin).

Here’s the magic recipe they whipped up:

• 🏗 Simple Landing Page + Form Setup in HighLevel
  You start with a clean newsletter signup page using built-in templates. Pair it with a form that only asks for essentials (first name + email = done). Toss in a sweet bonus gift (PDF, cheat sheet, free training) to drive conversions—Perry Belcher-approved.

• 🤖 Custom GPTs Do the Heavy Lifting
  Use a GPT to generate both:

  • Your landing page copy (with headline, teaser, bullets—bam!)

  • The actual newsletter topics and content ideas.

  These bots ask you a few questions or just make up a solid draft if you’re lazy—I mean, busy.

• ✍️ AI-Written Newsletters Pulled From RSS Feeds
  Here’s where it gets juicy. N8N:

  • Grabs blog posts from your favorite marketing sites (like HubSpot)

  • Summarizes and rewrites them with ChatGPT 4.1

  • Converts them into ready-to-send HTML email templates using HighLevel’s email builder API.

  And yes, it even alternates the button colors. You want blue and orange? Done.

• ⏱ Set It and Forget It with Weekly Automation

  • Choose the day (Tuesdays at 6am, statistically best)

  • The system pulls new articles weekly

  • ChatGPT formats them into a newsletter

  • N8N uploads it to HighLevel

  • You review and hit send—or let it fly automatically if you're feeling bold.

Pro Tip:

💡 You don’t have to pull content from RSS feeds. You could just drop your own form input, past blog post, podcast transcript—whatever you’re already creating—and use the same automation to turn it into a sleek weekly email.

Why This Matters:
Newsletters are one of the highest-ROI marketing channels, but most people drop the ball because they’re time-consuming. This system removes that excuse. You stay top-of-mind, keep delivering value, and build a warm, ready-to-buy audience—without hiring a writer or burning hours each week.

The Wrap-Up:
This is how modern marketers stay relevant without burning out. A clean signup funnel, AI-generated content, and a workflow that builds your brand while you’re busy doing literally anything else. Whether you're nurturing leads, selling services, or growing a community—this newsletter system gives you leverage. And hey, it’s fun to show off, too.

🔥 AI's Blockbuster Week: Veo 3, Claude 4, Google Flow, and That iPhone Moment

Alright, deep breath—because last week in AI was basically the Super Bowl, CES, and a Marvel multiverse drop all rolled into one. We’re talking historic level updates across Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

So instead of giving you another highlight reel, I’m breaking down what actually matters for you—whether you're building, marketing, automating, or just trying to stay ahead of the bots.

Let’s go.

🎬 Google’s Veo 3: Hollywood... on Demand?

Google dropped Veo 3, its most advanced AI video model yet—and it’s legit. We're talking:

• Hyper-realistic visuals that make AI videos nearly indistinguishable from real footage.

• Dialogue, sound effects, background music—automatically generated.

• Lip-syncing so good it’ll have you questioning every TikTok you see next week.

But it’s not all camera-ready:

• It adds random subtitles (with typos like “cloaser”—seriously).

• You’re capped at just five prompts a day unless you’re on the $250/month Ultra plan.

• That plan’s currently $125/month on discount... and still feels like Google’s version of pay-to-play.

Still, the results? Stunning. Use cases range from creating pitch-perfect explainer videos to generating concept footage for product launches and ad campaigns on the fly.

Pro Tip: Want better control of Veo outputs? Avoid quotation marks in your prompts. It seems to reduce those surprise subtitles.

🎥 Meet Google Flow: The AI Filmmaker

If Veo is your camera, Flow is your director. It’s Google’s new filmmaking interface that lets you:

• Create scenes via text, images, or even ingredients (think storyboard-style inputs).

• Stitch together multiple AI-generated clips on a timeline.

• Extend or jump to new scenes—all with text commands.

This tool is still beta-feeling, but the possibilities are huge: think onboarding videos, product walkthroughs, short stories… built like a video editor, powered like a chatbot.

Also noteworthy:

• Veo 2 got some love too with new camera movements, outpainting, and object editing—like adding a castle or removing a spaceship mid-shot.

• And there's a frames-to-video option that lets you animate from static images—great for repurposing design mockups or illustrations.

👓 Google's AR Glasses (Yes, Really)

It’s not just software. Google quietly demoed AR glasses that:

• Translate conversations in real-time, right in your field of view.

• Let you take photos with voice commands and preview them instantly.

• Guide you through real-world directions, texts, even Maps—all hands-free.

It's like Gemini + Ray-Bans had a baby. No official launch yet, but this one’s going to reshape user experience in a very real way.

💬 Gemini 2.5 + Deep Thinking Mode

Google also flexed its large language muscles:

• Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash beat GPT-4 and Claude in benchmarks like math and code generation.

• Their Deep Think Mode reviews multiple answers before responding—kind of like asking five interns, then choosing the best answer.

• And Gemma 3N? Nearly Claude-level performance on mobile devices. That’s right—pocket-sized power.

They even snuck in real-time translation in Google Meet and writing tone-matching in Gmail. Yes, your AI now sounds like you.

🧠 Microsoft & Anthropic’s Moves

Not to be outdone:

• Microsoft is pushing agent-based AI hard with updates across GitHub Copilot and Windows apps. Think: Notepad that writes for you and Paint that understands objects.

• Their Copilot agent for GitHub can take an issue, spin up an environment, and write+test code for you autonomously.

• Meanwhile, Anthropic’s Claude 4 showed it’s not here to chat—it’s here to code. It now outperforms GPT-4 and Gemini in software engineering benchmarks.

• Oh, and that wild tweet claiming Claude might lock you out and call the press if you try unethical things? Yeah... that’s been walked back. But still, fun future-fiction to think about.

👀 And Then There’s OpenAI...

Just when the dust started settling, OpenAI dropped its own bombshell: they acquired Jony Ive’s company (yes, the Jony Ive who designed the iPhone). The mission? A physical AI product. Leaks suggest:

• Pocket-sized

• Screenless

• Context-aware

• Not eyewear (so, not another Humane pin)

Speculators are calling it the iPhone moment for AI—a device that makes LLMs ambient and natural. We don’t know what it is yet, but Sam Altman says it could boost OpenAI’s value by $1 trillion. No biggie.

Why This Matters:

We’re no longer inching into the AI future—we’re sprinting. These aren’t just cool toys for techies. They’re reshaping how we communicate, create, and convert.

• Marketers can create studio-quality content at scale—without studios.

• Founders can build newsletters, product videos, or demo apps without hiring teams.

• Agencies can plug these tools into client workflows for faster results and bigger margins.

The AI stack is going from assistive to autonomous, and the brands who learn how to steer it now? They’re the ones that win.

The Takeaway:

This week proved that AI isn't slowing down—it's starting to find its form. Whether it’s Claude quietly owning code, Veo rewriting the future of video, or Google’s AR whispering translations in your ear, we’re seeing a shift from “cool demo” to daily tool.

So ask yourself: are you adapting fast enough to use these tools before they start using you?

🔍 AI Meets UX: Google’s Vision of the Assistant Everywhere

Let’s be honest—by now, we’ve all seen the flashy demos from Google I/O. Veo 3? Incredible. Gemini 2.5 Pro? Smarter than your old college roommate. Flow? Basically Final Cut meets ChatGPT. But behind all the excitement was something way more important: the web is slowly being replaced by something quieter and far more powerful—your AI layer.

Google didn’t just announce updates. They dropped signals. Big ones. Search is no longer just search. With AI Mode now rolling out, it’s handling multi-part prompts, visualizing answers with charts or checklists, and answering you based on how you write. Seriously—Gmail can now match your tone using past emails and Docs. Ask it for a road trip reply, and it will not only write it—it’ll sound like something you’d say on your best day.

And that’s not just a neat feature. That’s a shift. Because we’re now entering a world where the user doesn’t ask—they expect. Gemini is embedded across Android, in your inbox, in your calendar, even in glasses that whisper answers while you walk. You know the phrase “let me Google that”? Yeah. That’s fading. It’s becoming “my AI already handled it.” Whether it’s searching for an apartment, booking tickets, or replying to your boss, these assistants are quietly working in the background.

So what does that mean for us marketers, builders, and operators? It means your audience is no longer browsing. They’re being briefed. AI is choosing what to show them based on utility, clarity, and relevance. If your offer, your copy, your content—heck, your data—can’t be parsed, applied, or spoken aloud by an agent? It’s skipped.

That’s the shift. Not screens. Not interfaces. It’s about intent. Context. Trust.

You don’t need to build your own Gemini. But you do need to start thinking like one. What would it choose to surface? How would it explain your business to someone in three sentences or less? How easy is it for AI to champion what you’re doing?

Because the businesses winning tomorrow aren’t the ones shouting the loudest. They’re the ones whispering the right things in the AI’s ear today.

Alright, let’s lighten it up. Because next? We’re diving into the coolest, weirdest tech we found on the internet this week—and it’s absolutely worth the scroll.
