Welcome to 2026: A Fresh Start and a New Focus

Tomorrow is January 1st, and my wife and I are starting the year exactly how we like: with a quiet, intentional day off. We’re planning to head to one of our favorite local parks to spend the morning photographing birds and wildlife. As for tonight? We’re celebrating early with a full turkey dinner and all the fixings while we cheer on the World Junior hockey game. We’ll probably be in bed at a “decent hour”—I know, I know, we’re officially those “old people” now!

Turning 64 this month gave me some perspective. People keep asking what I want to do “when I grow up.” While I’m technically only one year away from the traditional retirement age, I’m not slowing down. In fact, I’m looking forward to at least another decade of work, growth, and fun.

A New Direction

So, what does 2026 look like? I’ve decided to pivot. While I’ve spent a lot of time in affiliate marketing, my focus is shifting toward the world of Artificial Intelligence. The AI landscape is moving at a breakneck pace. I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible, and honestly, even for someone like me, it can be a challenge to keep up with the constant stream of new tools. My goal is to bridge that gap for you. I want to find and share the very best AI products that can genuinely improve daily life—whether for your business or your personal routine.

What You Can Expect From Me

To keep things organized, I’m working on a few projects to share what I learn:

The AI Master List: I’m building a comprehensive spreadsheet that I’ll be updating weekly with every new tool I test and recommend.
A New YouTube Channel: Coming in the next few months, I’ll be launching a channel dedicated to AI tutorials and reviews, showing you how to use these tools for both “business and pleasure.”
An Exclusive Community: I’m currently beta-testing a new online community. There is some incredible work happening behind the scenes, and as soon as I have the green light from the founder, I’ll be sharing the details with you.

Let’s Build This Together

My mission for 2026 is simple: How can we use AI to make our businesses run smoother and our lives a little easier?

I don’t want this to be a one-way conversation. I want to hear from you! How are you using AI? Is there a piece of software you’ve discovered that I should know about? I’d love to add your insights to my list.

If you’d like to stay in the loop and receive regular updates on the best AI tools I find, just send me a message using the form below.

That’s all for today. I’ll see you in the New Year.

Do Good Things!
