Hey there, Fastlaners!

First things first, big thanks to @MJ DeMarco - Your books have done more than just mess with my head—they've lit a fire under me. I've soaked up every page, and the impact's been game-changing.

Quick backstory: I was on the slow lane from '99 to '09, lawyering it up in my home country, Spain. Then, in 2009, I flipped the script. I left the legal field for a non-profit startup I founded. Think of it as a slow lane with some fast-lane highlights. We scaled like crazy—18M members and $6M in annual donations.

Sounds great, but here's the kicker. Since it’s a non-profit, all that cash goes back to making the world a better place. Rewarding? Absolutely. But it got me craving for something more.

That’s when AI writing tools like Jasper and Copy.ai waltzed into my life. These tools opened up a whole new world for me and had me asking, "Why is there nothing this cool in Spanish?"

MJ DeMarco’s wisdom kicked in, and I thought, "Time to hit the fast lane, buddy." After a heart-to-heart with my wife, I jumped in. Cashed out some investments, penned a business plan, and teamed up with a skilled development agency. We’re just about ready to hit that launch button.

I’ve been grinding on this as a side gig for the last three months, getting every detail right for launch. The excitement's big, and I can't wait to drop some updates on you guys—user metrics, revenue, the whole nine yards.

So, stay tuned. Things are about to get really interesting.

Catch you on the flip side!

Welcome!

Your nonprofit venture sounds awesome. Are you still involved with that?

I'm just starting year 2 of a nonprofit I founded. Would love to hear more about yours!

Thanks for your good wishes, Derek, Larry, and Darwin.
Yes, Larry, I'm still the President of the non-profit I founded. Working hard to make an impact. Actually, I have started my new startup as a side project.
