AI Creativity Chronicles​ Weekly Insights from ​The AI Over 50 Guy

Hey friend 👋

Here's How My Creative Journey Prepared Me to Help YOU Break Through AI Paralysis

If you’ve ever looked at AI and felt a mix of fear, confusion, or that nagging “Why should I even care?”—you’re not alone. It's sad but true that this is the emotional majority among purpose-driven creatives today.

But here’s the truth I want you to really feel in your bones:
​You are not behind. You are not too late. And you absolutely have something worth amplifying.

My own creative journey—the one illustrated in the image above—is exactly why I’m so committed to helping you cross this threshold.

🌉 A Lifetime of Spanning the “Grand Canyon Gap.”

Long before “AI” was a buzzword, my work was already about one thing:

Bridging the Grand Canyon Gap between human creativity and emerging technology.

I did it as a media innovator. I did it as a marketing consultant, video producer, website designer, and social media marketer.
I also did it through leading three cohorts of The Creativity Sandbox.

Now, I’m doing this in a whole new way as The AI Over 50 Guy.

🚫 The 3 Barriers That Keep Creatives Stuck

Over and over, I hear the same three internal blocks:

1️⃣ “I’m afraid I’ll mess this up.”

Totally normal. AI looks technical from the outside. But when you have a safe, human guide showing you the playful, experimental side, fear dissolves. You can trust me (and yourself) on this.

2️⃣ “AI’s too overwhelming. I don’t know where to start.”

AI isn’t one tool—it’s a whole ecosystem. But you don’t need everything. All you need is a simple doorway in, one that matches your creative style, not someone else’s.

3️⃣ “Why should I even care?”

This is the most important one:
​You should care because your wisdom is too important to sit in a notebook or your head.

AI helps you express more, create more, and impact more people without burning yourself out.

AI isn’t replacing your creativity—it’s unblocking it and offering new creativity-enhancing powers that I can't wait to share with you.

🔥 Where My Journey Meets Yours

Everything I’ve done—marketing, storytelling, community building, and now practical-magic AI—funnels into one purpose:

Helping you rekindle your creative fire and turn your lived experience into meaningful work with expanded impact.

I’ve watched too many creative souls shrink back because technology felt intimidating.

It’s time to change that.

You don’t need to become “techy.”
You don’t need to keep up with every new model.
You may well need the right kind of support—human, encouraging, grounded, and creatively liberating.

Helping you make this kind of shift is the kind of service that I now feel called to provide.

💬 FINAL THOUGHT

If you feel that creative tug inside you—the one that says “I still have something to say, something to make, something to contribute”—trust it.

Your story matters.
Your wisdom matters.
And AI, used well, helps you share it wider, with less friction and more joy.

It’s never too late to play with the future.

Stay tuned! There's a new "AI Over 50 Guy" YouTube channel and fun, easy-to-follow videos coming soon.
