🌟 Inspiring Resilience: A Remarkable Video Mojo Journey from Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦


✨ May You Always Face Adversity with Resilience ✨

Dear Friend,

Ever wondered about what it takes to start anew amidst chaos?
​
This week on Video Mojo, my guest, Anton Kosheliev, shares his inspiring journey, explaining how he rebuilt his business on YouTube after the devastation of the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine took away his livelihood. Talk about Video Mojo! πŸ’ͺ🏼

Living in Kiev, Anton's once-thriving coffee business fell victim to the circumstances of war. Yet, Anton's story isn't about loss; it's about the remarkable strength of the human spirit and the will to forge a new path by taking action.

In a remarkable display of resilience, Anton transitioned from the world of coffee to launching a video editing company. In just a year, his determination and vision have blossomed into a team of six.

As I spoke with Anton, I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the relative ease of my own circumstances. Anton's story is a powerful reminder of the incredible things we can achieve when we face challenges head-on.

🌟 Be inspired by Anton's story. Tune in to this episode of Video Mojo for a journey that's as enlightening as it is motivational, packed with insights into entrepreneurship and the art of thriving on YouTube against all odds. πŸŽ₯ Watch the Episode Now​

I am sending you Happy Holidays, Happy Solstice, and Happy New Year blessings. Thanks for watching.

Gratefully yours!

Major Misconception: creating with AI is just a one-and-done thing where you push a button and get a result. Not true! For example, as documented below, this sensational music video is entirely AI-generated (including the music) and it took at least 9 different apps to achieve the artist's vision. I'm fascinated by creating images and videos using AI and realize that most people hardly know what's happening in this explosive new creativity arena. Just in the image generation realm, there are...

AI Arnie, my virtual intern, alter ego, synthetic self, has evolved. He's excited about helping me to be more consistent in generating valuable content for y'all. Conjured with MidJourney Arnie is also encouraging me to release my inner artist. While playing in the AI Salon (free virtual community), I used a minimal prompt and iterative process to conjure this new piece of AI generative art: Conjured with MidJourney Do you see more impatience or perseverance or something else in her...

Here's what it looks like to PLAY creatively with AI. As imperfect as it is, using AI, I generated this cartoon story in less than 15 minutes (no joke). If you embrace its jankiness, I think you'll agree that it successfully illustrates the power of my upcoming Exploratorium creative community. Yes? FYI, my creative collaborator on this cartoon was a new AI app, WebSim that leverages the power of Anthropic's Claude, the ChatGPT competitor discussed in last week's email. What have you created...
