I’ve been grinding out 15-hour days; I got eight stitches in my hand in June, got a concussion in July, and gout in August. The way the concussion happened is too hilarious—and embarrassing—not to share, so get ready to laugh at my expense! I stepped on a rake, which swung up and smacked me right in the face, just like a scene from a Tom and Jerry cartoon! Ouch The silver lining of all this is that I’ve never been more productive in my entire life. In the coming days and months, I will share much of what I learned about AI, marketing, fundraising, media, and life with you all here. For now, I would like to thank you for reading and helping to shape this next phase in my life. I’m hugely proud of two webinars that I've launched, which have been attended by nearly 3,000 people. I’ve also launched Dessi University with online courses that are aligned with my new books. If interested, register for the Execs over 40 webinars for [free here](. The ChatGPT for Profit free webinar is[here.]( I also self-published four books this summer: two about AI, one geared toward executives over 40, and another for teenagers—which I’ve dedicated to my beautiful girls, Talia (16) and Olivia (13). You can learn more about each [book here]( on my Amazon Author page - but if you’d like a free hard copy of ChatGPT for Profit,[fill out your details here]( - all I ask is that you pay for shipping and handling. Surprisingly - [There is No Tomorrow: How Executives Over Forty Can Reinvent Themselves]( struck a chord and is the most popular book. Here is part of the introduction: “I was startled when his arm fell from the body bag. The coroner didn’t flinch. He turned, gently grabbed my father’s wrist, slipped his lifeless arm back into the bag, and zipped it closed. Until that moment, I don’t think it had dawned on me fully that my father was gone. He would grab my brother and me from behind, bear hug style. He’d scoop us both up in one fell swoop. His arms always felt massive—solid and steady. My brother Mark and I were the only ones in the room with the coroner. I’m not sure if he saw what I saw – if he did – we never spoke of it. But it stuck with me. It was real. Dad is gone. Our hero is mortal. We’re all mortal. Death is a shock to the system. You can let those moments destroy you. Or you can harness that pain, stare back at it, and feel the lesson it’s taught you seep deeply into your bones. I’m telling you this story because if you’re over forty, you’ve lost someone close to you. You’ve most likely confronted your mortality. If you haven’t, I hope you do today. I hope you can embrace this stoic philosophy and your limited time there. I’m not here to scare anyone, but if you’re over forty, while there is still plenty of game to play, that awareness can offer heightened clarity and purpose to your life. If you haven’t thought about death – your death. Here’s your shot over the bow. You don’t have the luxury of being twenty-five and confused and or thirty-five and spending time dealing with toxic people. You’re over forty. And if you haven’t already – it’s time to grow up and realize this moment is urgent. The alarm bells should be ringing. The time is now. There is no tomorrow.” [BUY THE BOOK NOW]( This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.
