🍏 AI Launches in All Apple Products and Yes, it's Halloween in August

Read time: 4 minutes

Hey everyone!

Today we’re starting a new experiment, “The Halloween Hustle”, a 90-day (ish) challenge to get a business up, running, and profitable by Halloween.

We’re going to start with a Day 1 prompt on how to find the right business idea and then, every day, take the next step.

I’ll be sharing what my outputs are and what steps I’m taking to make them actionable.

It’s almost the most profitable time of the year. Let’s get it.

P.S. We’re also trying out a new delivery time for 9:15 am ET so if you liked the previous time better, let us know.
