AI is here. It's changing everything, fast. And most people I talk to are still either avoiding it, fighting it, or letting it run their whole show.

There's a smarter way to live with this.

Today I'm walking you through how I've been using AI for two and a half years — what it does best, what only you can do, and the new rules that quietly decide who wins from here. I promised myself I'd keep it under ten minutes. Open your favorite AI tab if you want, but listen first. Then press play.

Featured Story

A gentleman called me up the other day. "Scott, how much do you charge for coaching?"

Two thousand a month, I told him. Three-month minimum.

He thought about it. "What if we did it in one month and got the same result? Can I just pay you the two thousand?"

No, I said. You're going to pay me six.

He paused.

I told him you're not paying me for hours. You're paying me for the outcome. I just saved you two months of your life. That's worth more than the time it took me to do it.

He laughed. Then he said yes.

Important Points

Information used to cost twenty bucks per million tokens. Now it's under a cent. Stop hoarding it — it's commoditized.

Stop competing with AI. Use it for research, drafts, and the repetitive work that doesn't need your taste or wisdom.

Judgment is the new value. Information is everywhere — knowing what to do with it is where you actually get paid now.

Memorable Quotes

Stop competing with AI. Start using it for what it does best — and save your judgment for the work only you can do.

Judgment is the new work. Information is cheap; taste, discernment, and wisdom are what people actually pay for now.

Nobody cares if it took you six hours to produce something. Stop selling hours. Sell outcomes. That's the new game.

Scott's Three-Step Approach

First, embrace AI for the work it does best — research, drafts, repetition — and stop competing where you can't win.

Then document what only you know — your expertise, your taste, your way of working — into MD files your AI can read.

Finally, sell the outcome, not the hours — and use AI to shrink the work so you can focus on what actually matters.
