Unlocking Creative Joy, One Week at a Time

Hey Reader,

Not Playing with AI Yet? That’s a Choice — and It’s Risky.

I know it doesn’t look like me exactly… but I made this image in 60 seconds. Seriously.

I simply uploaded my profile avatar image and gave ChatGPT a one-line prompt:

“Put this image on a mug that's on a home video studio creator's desk. Warm, positive colors and lighting.”

Boom. This fun, vibrant, creative image showed up. And, I was impressed (again) by the creative power of AI.

So now I have to ask:
​Are you playing creatively with AI yet?

If not — why not? 🤔

I ask not to stir up FOMO… but to invite you in.
This is the same kind of future of tech moment as when, over the years, I've encouraged people to try:

  • Computers 💻
  • Then, the Internet 🌐
  • Then, digital video 🎥

Now? It’s AI — and it’s both wildly fun and shockingly powerful.

The world is shifting fast. 🌍

Please believe me. Creating with AI isn’t just some trendy experiment. It’s how we shape the future — starting now.

So go ahead, dip your toe in. Play.
Why choose to live in what’s rapidly becoming the rearview mirror? 🪞

Let’s keep moving forward together — with curiosity, joy, and a little creative courage.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Warmly,

Jon Leland, AI Creativity & Marketing Strategist
