Most people consume content. Very few let it actually change something. This week it changed three things for me. Amie's Substack email reframed where I'm putting my energy. Four income streams from one newsletter. No face, no following required. She added $340k a year posting in her robe twice a month. The platform opportunity that Instagram was in 2012 is sitting right there and most people are still sleeping on it. Victoria Smith and ShopMy VP Caley-Rae Pavillard made the case I didn't know I needed , you can build a career now out of taste. Not content creation. Not virality. Your taste. Some of their top accounts making millions have never shown their face. As AI floods every feed, a real human point of view is becoming the rarest thing online 👉 fashionandfounders.com Sujata Assomull introduced me to Bag Bijoux , diamond charms by Ashna and Aria Mehta engineered specifically for Birkin and Kelly straps, converting into necklaces and brooches. Starting at $2,800 to seven-figure bespoke. The luxury consumer isn't just buying the bag anymore. She's building a world around it. The AI Break confirmed what the talent flow already knew , John Jumper, Nobel Prize winner and AlphaFold lead, is leaving Google DeepMind for Anthropic. Days after Gemini's co-lead left for OpenAI. When elite researchers move, they're voting with their careers. Pay attention. The status income matrix video said what most high achievers need to hear, a lot of us stay in high status roles not because we're well compensated, but because we can't let go of the prestige. Play the wealth game, not the status game. https://lnkd.in/dHii-Yyb Afnan Khalifa on Dream with Dr Sheen Gurrib FRSA was the most honest conversation about women and wealth I've watched in a long time. Self worth is built by keeping your word to yourself. Not how you look. Not what you own. https://lnkd.in/d4ecvND6 And one YouTube video gave me three lines that reset the whole week , do you have a problem? No , then why worry. Yes , can you do something about it? Yes , then why worry. Yes , can you do something? No , then why worry. https://lnkd.in/dNSBHn_8 This is my weekly series , what I read, watched and consumed, and what it's genuinely making me think about. What's one thing you consumed this week that shifted something? Drop it below , I read every single one.
