A few lines worth stealing before you hand over the full hour.
I've only been legally blind. This is absolutely normal for my point of view. My guest today, Victor Vernado, went from writing for Marvel and Jimmy Kimmel to losing over $500,000 on a single tech deal.
10. Onwards to building with AI for neurodiversion folks. I may have lost about half a million dollars based on the value of a patent. After a couple successful tech builds is now working on Magic Bookie Fire, which is an AI tool to help neurodiversion folks turn the stories in their heads into actual books.
It writes with you, instead of for you, it uses AI in a way to help, like, get your story out of you. Today we cover themes of making strides in a world that has set you up to fail.
How to find your next adventure, worth spending time and energy on. And most importantly, Victor shows us yet again how the only way to learn is to do. The world isn't built necessarily for me. I have challenges. I get that.
For me, that just part of being alive, I have to work harder at some things than other people, because that's normal. Subscribe for weekly episodes and remember, life is lived in the arena. Roll it.
