Hey there,

I want to make progress but I feel like I'm getting in my own way a lot, the following is going to seem like a lot of procrastinating and in a way it is. I think the difference this time is that I'm sharing it all and I can see the value longer term and that's what I'm thinking of now, things that will sustain and help me longer term, especially with income and security.

Building My AI Council

Been experimenting with something slightly unhinged this week — planning to create AI agent clones of myself and other mentors. Starting with Justin Welsh as my first mentor clone as a proof of concept, then thinking of entire Ship 30 team, Alex Hormozi...(once I get the automations set up including the digesting of information it should get easier and easier). Think of it as a personal board of advisors (my own Illuminati, MCU-style), each version focused on a different aspect of my work, helping me think through decisions and structure priorities.

​

The technical setup is fun to figure out, but the real revelation? Just how scattered my focus has become. When you need an AI board of directors to organize your thoughts, maybe that's a sign you've got too many plates spinning.

​

Here's what I've realized about myself: I work best with very clearly defined steps and goals. But when I'm creating them for myself? Total paralysis. Too many options, conflicting advice from different sources, no idea which path is actually better. It's like being a GPS that can see all possible routes but can't pick one and it almost feels wasting time consuming info and not putting it into action but what to consume first, there's just so much.

​

That's exactly what I need from my AI board of advisors — let them debate each other, weigh the options, and then give me those clearly defined steps tailored specifically to my situation, my content, my constraints. Not generic "grow your LinkedIn" advice, but "here's what Andrew should do this week."

Future Idea: Let AI Andrew Do It

Here's where it gets really meta — once I clone myself and my existing content, why not have the Andrew AI agent actually execute the plan through automation? I still feed in the ideas and direction, but it handles all the logistics that create friction for me.

Imagine: Board of advisors debates → creates action plan → AI Andrew executes it. The creative decisions stay with me, but the implementation friction disappears.

​

I really think this is all doable with tech now, I just need to put in the work to get it done and done right, just one step at a time.

Dusting Off the 3D Printer

Also diving into something completely different — turning my underused 3D printer into an actual side business. Starting from scratch, documenting the journey. First up: getting my own workspace organized with gridfinity and opengrid systems (because if I'm going to make things, might as well start by making things useful for myself). It's been gathering dust lately, time to change that. Once I have some of the automation side of my business sorted and maybe some actual products I'll be pushing forward with 3D print farming as a side hustle. I'm going through Print Farm Academy course and I'll be starting a newsletter for that journey at some point specifically.

​

Speaking of Building Things...

I've just launched Automation Wizard, a more focused newsletter about practical automation and AI workflows. First issue is already out — breaking down RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and how I'm planning to use it to build my AI advisory council. I'll be documenting the whole journey, mistakes and all.

Until the next incantation,

— Andrew
