What We Can Learn From Stupid People
Most think that stupidity is an undesirable quality. Not so. I think stupid people have life pretty figured out. What do I mean by that? Read to find out.

Want to know the real reason some people succeed while smarter folks stay stuck?
It's not talent. It's not hard work. It's not even luck.
Confidence and social skills beat raw talent every time:

Met a startup founder. Smart guy, solid vision.
Then he hit me with:
🗣️ "Writing takes too much effort. Can we just AI?"
🗣️ "I don’t need AN content writer."
(Yes, AN. A startup founder who could barely spell 🤦♂️)
But here’s the part that really stuck with me—he had a point. 🧵👇

Met a startup founder at a tech conference. Cool guy. Had a solid app idea.
Then the convo took a turn:
🗣️ "Can’t we just AI writing?"
🗣️ "There are GPTs for SEO now."
🗣️ "You should start a startup, not a service."
Spoken like someone who’s never had to pay rent 🤦♂️

AI is insanely resource-intensive. OpenAI alone burns as much energy as a small country.
That means barriers to entry. The best AI? Tech giants get first dibs.
I work with AI daily, and honestly? It scares the hell out of me. If I didn’t have to embrace it for work, I’d probably hate it too.

SEO is dying as a distribution channel. There, I said it.
The money just isn’t there anymore. Not like it used to be.
The universe is telling me it’s time to pivot.

The phrase "I'll figure it out" has created more millionaires than any MBA program.
Smart people say: "I don't know how to do that yet. I need more training."
"Stupid" people say: "Never done it before, but I'll figure it out."
Guess who wins more often?

Notice how the smartest person at the party is usually alone in the corner while the least intellectual is collecting contacts and having a blast?
There's a brutal lesson here: Success requires networks, not just brains.

Content marketing in 2024? People are tired of faceless brands & AI-generated fluff.
That’s why founder-led content is taking off.
As AI-generated content floods our feeds, authentic voices will stand out more than ever.
I’m doubling down on personality-driven content.

🎥 I lost my last anchor client. And I’ve made a decision.
I’m done with SEO. It’s not what it used to be, and it’s no longer a good distribution channel. Content still matters—but the game has changed. 🧵👇

Why are so many successful people kinda... stupid?
Simple: They believe in themselves 100%.
No overthinking. No self-doubt Just pure, unearned confidence.
Meanwhile, smarter folks see all the ways they could fail and talk themselves out of trying.

2024 has been rough for content writers. AI shook things up, and I’m feeling it too.
But here’s the good news: I just wrapped up my first AI training workshop for business owners. My first speaking gigs are rolling in.
