Three things I'm obsessing over this week (GHL/N8N SOP Inside)

HighLevel + n8n integration (SOP) Included, Hormozi's 2025 strategy, and the AI that's scaring everyone.

How Hormozi’s Next Launch Might Break the Internet (Again)

Alright, let me geek out for a second—because I am seriously excited about Alex Hormozi’s new book launch. The man is a marketing machine, a value-giving beast, and if you're not paying attention to this next move, you're missing a masterclass in real time.

Now, I’m not the “fanboy” type… but when Alex launched his last book, I sat through one of the most perfectly orchestrated webinars I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t just a pitch—it was pure marketing elegance:

  • Value-packed from start to finish

  • Seamless storytelling

  • Offer so good, it practically sold itself

Seriously, if marketing was an Olympic sport, that launch would’ve taken gold—and the replay would be required viewing at business schools.

Whether you're a fan of his or not, watch this next launch. I mean really watch it. Over the next few months, you're going to see exactly how a true marketing strategist builds anticipation, drives urgency, and executes at scale.

So here’s what you need to do:
👉 Register for the event – it’s free
👉 Get the book (the last one was one of the best I’ve ever read—seriously, top shelf stuff)
👉 Pay close attention. This is how it's done at the highest level.

If you're into marketing, growth, or just plain excellence in business—this is your Super Bowl.

🔧 HighLevel Insider: Automate Like a Pro with n8n (Yes, It’s as Cool as It Sounds)

Look, I’ve always had a thing for clean integrations—like those rare socks that are both comfy and stylish. So when the HighLevel crew finally dropped a full-on deep dive into private integrations and bi-directional webhooks using n8n, I was all in.

This is the stuff that separates the clickers from the creators. If you’ve been struggling to get HighLevel talking smoothly to n8n (or vice versa), this update is the blueprint you’ve been waiting for.

Here’s what went down—and more importantly, how to actually do it.

🧠 The Why (aka Why You Should Care)

Let’s say you’re juggling multiple client accounts. You want a contact created in one HighLevel account to magically appear in another. Or maybe you want your forms in HighLevel to trigger beautiful, branching logic scenarios in n8n.

Well, now you can do that—without needing an agency account, and without duct-taping tools together like it’s 2009.

💡 Key Moves You Can Steal

Here’s how the magic happens:

  • Private Integration Token in HighLevel:

    • Head to Settings → Private Integrations

    • Create a new token, pick your scopes (like view/edit contacts), and hit create

    • Important: You’ll only see that token once—don’t blink, don’t refresh, copy it and save it

  • Hooking Up n8n:

    • Add an HTTP Request node

    • Auth: Try Bearer (just the token). If it doesn’t work, switch to Header and use Bearer YOURTOKEN

    • Paste in the API endpoint (like /contacts/upsert)

    • Add required headers like Version, and boom—you’re connected

  • From HighLevel to n8n:

    • Set up a workflow triggered by “Contact Created”

    • Drop in a webhook and paste your n8n test URL

    • n8n receives the payload—you pin it (super handy), map your fields, and build whatever logic you want

  • From n8n to HighLevel:

    • Use the Upsert Contact API to push data in

    • Location ID is required (grab it from the URL in HighLevel)

    • Map fields like email, name, phone—custom fields too if you’re feeling spicy

  • And for the automation pros:

    • Build out full onboarding flows, like creating Google Drive folders for new coaching clients based on form submissions

    • Share those folders, send emails, and handle 3 apps’ worth of work in one streamlined n8n scenario

🎁 Because We’re That Passionate About It…

We didn’t just record this walkthrough—we turned it into a full-blown SOP. Screenshots, step-by-step instructions, and a few salty tips from the trenches (because let’s be honest, auth tokens can be a pain).

And because we genuinely want you to win at automation, we’re giving it away.
No paywall. No upsell. No email required. Just pure nerd joy.

Seriously. Download it, bookmark it, laminate it if you’re into that sort of thing.

🧙‍♂️ Pro Tip

If your request fails, don’t panic—just switch your auth method. Some API calls like Bearer, some like Header. It’s not you. It’s HighLevel being quirky.

And always double-check required fields in Stoplight. Sometimes address is really address1, and yes, that one missing “1” will break your whole flow. Ask me how I know.

This is the kind of integration that makes your business feel smarter. You’re not just zapping one thing to another—you’re engineering a real system. One that saves time, reduces errors, and frankly… makes you look like a genius.

GenSpark – The Swiss Army Knife of AI (No, Seriously)

Okay. I know “game-changer” gets thrown around a lot. But GenSpark? This thing is the Bruce Lee of AI platforms. Fast. Fluid. Ridiculously efficient. And yes, it hits harder than anything I’ve tested recently.

No fluff. No affiliate link.
I’m just telling you straight: if you're building in marketing, automation, or entrepreneurship right now—you want this in your stack.

But before we go full fanboy mode, let me say this:
Like any AI platform, never share personal, sensitive, or private client information in your prompts. Use real examples, but keep the personal stuff off the table. These tools are powerful, but they’re still third-party environments.

Alright, now let’s get into the good stuff.

🧠 What the Heck Is GenSpark?

In one sentence:
It’s a fully autonomous AI system that combines GPT, Claude, Gemini, and more… to actually do the work for you.

And when I say "do the work," I mean:

  • Writes your website

  • Generates your pitch deck

  • Designs your images and video

  • Creates spreadsheets and financials

  • Books appointments, replies to emails, and sorts your inbox (hello, AI Secretary)

🧪 What I Built With It (In Less Than 20 Minutes)

I gave it one mega prompt:

"Build me a microgreens franchise business-in-a-box."

Here’s what came back:

  • 📘 A 40+ page franchise manual (startup checklists, pricing, marketing)

  • 🌐 A plug-and-play website template

  • 📅 A 30-day content calendar

  • 📣 Paid ad copy (short & long-form)

  • 🖼️ Custom image assets

  • 🖥️ Sales pitch deck

  • 📊 A beginner-friendly stock portfolio builder (because why not?)

No back-and-forth. No tweaking. I walked away, came back, and it was done.

🔍 Why It’s Not Just Another AI Tool

Here’s what makes GenSpark special:

  • Super Agent Mode: It handles everything from one prompt

  • Model Mixing: Combine Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, and more—real-time, side-by-side

  • AI Secretary: Connects to your Gmail and calendar. It replies to messages. Schedules meetings. Basically your new ops manager

  • Fact Check + Visualization: Research something → get data → auto-generate charts

  • Export Everything: PDFs, CSVs, HTML code, ready-to-go assets

🧙‍♂️ Pro Tip

Don’t waste time bouncing between tools. Here’s how to work smarter:

  1. Build your business package in GenSpark

  2. Export and import into HighLevel funnels, email workflows, campaigns

  3. Automate the whole delivery system

One prompt. One platform. One seriously productive afternoon.

If you’ve been duct-taping five apps together to get client work done? Try this instead.

You’ll thank me later.

19 Stories You Might’ve Missed (But Probably Shouldn't)

We blinked—and 19 new AI features, tools, legal dramas, and possibly a digital Gary Busey dropped. It’s like trying to drink from a firehose made of innovation (and a little chaos).

So here’s your friendly roundup, minus the jargon and hype. Just Nuno, cutting through the noise with a double shot of espresso and some context you actually care about.

🚀 Noteworthy AI Releases (that don’t suck)

  • Claude now builds and hosts apps inside the platform. Yes, Claude from Anthropic now lets you build apps, use them, and share them without worrying about hosting, stacks, or dev ops headaches.

  • 11 Labs' new voice assistant connects to Google Calendar, Slack, Notion, Perplexity, etc., and can talk to you in Burt Reynolds’ voice (Gary Busey fans, hold tight).

  • GPT now reads your Google Drive, Dropbox, and SharePoint. Yep, through connectors in ChatGPT—just link your accounts and start prompting across docs.

  • ChatGPT “Record Mode” can transcribe Zoom calls, summarize meetings, and whisper your to-dos back at you. Discreet, efficient, slightly spooky.

  • Higsfield Soul released one of the most realistic text-to-image generators yet—but it still can't put you on a dinosaur. So, room for improvement.

🧑‍⚖️ Courtroom AI Drama: Can I Train on That?

Big players went to court, and the legal winds are blowing in favor of “fair use” for AI training:

  • Anthropic wins big: Bought physical books, scanned them, trained their models—judge said that’s cool under fair use. Pirated books? Not cool. Still under scrutiny.

  • Meta survives lawsuit (barely): Plaintiffs failed to prove LLaMA could regurgitate copyrighted books. Case dismissed on a technicality.

  • Getty drops their lawsuit against Stability AI after those favorable rulings. It’s looking like paid-for training data is a legal green light—for now.

🧪 Wild AI Tools + Experiments

  • Udio’s Sessions feature lets you visually edit AI-generated music. UI is clunky, results are weird, but it’s a peek at the future of music production.

  • Google’s Doppel app lets you try on clothes virtually using your photo. Impressive, but no dino suits. 😢

  • Gemini CLI: Google dropped an open-source, terminal-based AI coding assistant. Use Gemini 2.5 Pro, 60 requests/minute, for free.

  • DeepMind’s Alpha Genome can predict the impact of DNA mutations with scary precision. Huge potential for cancer research and synthetic biology.

  • Gemini Robotics (on-device AI brain) can help robots fold laundry or build IKEA furniture—no internet required. 😬

🏛️ Regulation vs. Progress

The U.S. government is floating a rule to block states from regulating AI… for the next 10 years.

Why? Cold war vibes with China. They want AI dominance, not red tape.

My take? 10 years is way too long. Evaluate yearly. Tech is evolving too fast to lock anything in for a decade.

🧬 And a Bit of Hope

AI isn't just drama and productivity hacks:

  • Berlin scientists built an AI model called CrossN that diagnoses brain tumors with 99% accuracy—from spinal fluid samples. No surgery required.

Yes, this one gave me chills.

🧙‍♂️ Pro Tip

With AI exploding this fast, don’t chase every tool—follow where the money and developer energy are flowing:

  • Claude (Anthropic)

  • OpenAI (still king, despite drama)

  • Google Gemini (slow burn, but strong)

  • 11 Labs (voice is heating up)

Pick your stack. Go deep. And please—never put private or personal data into any AI system. That includes calendars, CRMs, and inboxes. Just don’t.

If you were waiting for a sign to upgrade your stack—or keep your AI literacy sharp—this is it.

And now you can casually say things like “Alpha Genome is wild” at your next meeting. You’re welcome.

🌍 Internet Gold: Hormozi’s Blueprint for 2025

Alright, I swear this wasn’t going to be the “All Hormozi Everything” issue... but when someone drops this kind of strategic gold, you don’t just scroll past it. You click. You watch. You take notes like your business depends on it—because it kinda does.

In this 26-minute clinic, Alex breaks down:

  • The most important concept in business: your economic model > your tactics

  • Why the business that can make more per customer can outspend everyone else—and win

  • A side-by-side story of two gyms and how he used one killer model to generate $100K in a single month off $5K in ad spend

  • Why cash flow is king and methods expire fast

  • How to actually calculate your LTV:CAC ratio (and what it should be based on how much of your business is automated)

Plus: he gives you a mental framework to look at your business and immediately spot what’s wrong—and what to fix first.

It's not some fluffy "business inspo". This is a raw, tactical breakdown of:

  • How to fund your startup with customer cash

  • How to dominate your market by building a better model

  • And how to turn basic math into your biggest growth lever

🎁 He even drops a free gift: the $100M Scaling Roadmap, a 200-hour resource that breaks business growth into 10 levels. Real playbook stuff. No fluff.

Watch it. Take notes. Send it to your team. Then rewatch it. It’s that good.
