It comes from years of navigating different communication styles and values.

That's the edge that comes from actually living the global experience, not just visiting as a tourist.

When cutting clips for podcasts or building content strategies, I instinctively consider multiple cultural and socio-economic viewpoints.

Cause the best content acknowledges diverse perspectives while finding the universal elements that resonate across boundaries

This isn't something you can fake

Moreover, I learned that effective content isn't just about what you say, but you need to understand deeply how others receive it.

These experiences directly impact how I work on media projects today.

My way of traveling…

- Couch-surfing
- Staying in hostels
- Connecting with locals

It showed me how people from completely different backgrounds process information and tell stories.

It taught me that authenticity connects across all barriers.

And that lesson deepened when I lived in France for 3 years, then Thailand, South Korea, and China.

I learned insights you simply can't get from reading about places online.

When I was a shy kid in Saint Paul, Minnesota, I never imagined my world would expand this way.

It wasn't until studying abroad in France at 20 that I realized how powerful a global perspective could be.

That first culture shock:

- Struggling with the language
- Feeling isolated

AI-curious people who want to stay competitive can go to #ImagineAILive and our workshops to reflect on the cross-industry impact of this game-changing technology.

Every field will be transformed simultaneously. Our speakers prove it:

Enterprise solutions.
How AI startups navigate regulations.
The rise of AI agents.
AI in education.
AI in content creation.

These talks are just a few examples of AI's huge impact on the cross-pollination of ideas.

AI is changing everything.

Every vertical.
Every industry.
Every part of the economy.

This is why we created Imagine AI Live - so we know how best to apply AI across business AND creativity.

I'll be sharing these exact methods at Imagine AI Live in Las Vegas (May 28-30).

Join me and other AI enthusiasts to develop practical skills you can apply immediately.

You can prioritize based on potential impact rather than just what feels exciting in the moment.

So if you want to level up your AI organization skills and learn how to turn ideas into action?

Without organization, you'll just bounce from one exciting possibility to another without completing anything.

Conversely, when you have a system in place, you can see patterns emerge in your thinking.

In short, the hardest thing isn't generating ideas with AI…

But it's deciding where to put your time to actually move the needle on projects that matter.

This might sound simple, but they don't teach you this operator mindset in school:

- How to organize your thoughts
- Record your plans
- and actually move forward with them

With my team at Good Future Media, I've been adamant about using Google Docs and Sheets to organize all these AI ideas.

When a new concept hits, I immediately:

- Open a doc
- Share it with the team
- Start building from there

If you're building anything online, remember:

- Post daily (minimum)
- Be crystal clear in your communication
- Learn from what doesn't work
- Trust that consistency will eventually pay off

These pillars are how I built my brand.

(And frankly, it’s how I rebuilt myself too)

When you combine consistency, drive, and self-belief, opportunities multiply.
