☝🏼 Meet Ayo, the latest member of our team. I just hired him as our official spokesperson. He is AI, so I don’t pay him anything yet, but I’m still thinking about it because of his vibes and dance steps. Anyway, just as he said, if you haven’t enrolled, you can join us tomorrow here: https://designthedecade.com/ If you’re facing payment issues, please send a WhatsApp message to Steve on +2349137505306 — J.O.

AI can (and should) put money in your bank account. But most AI tutorials online? Just cute to know. You don't walk away with a high-leverage SKILL you can IMMEDIATELY monetize. I mean… who will pay you to change jacket colors or edit pictures to look like you're in New York? Cute. But not monetizable. *So on November 18-19, we’re doing something different.* A FREE workshop focused ONLY on 3 AI skills people are actively paying for: ✅ *AI Ad Creatives* – Create scroll-stopping ads 10X better than Canva. No design skills needed. ✅ *AI Copywriting* – Sell any product with words that trigger buying intent. Even if you can't write copy. ✅ *Product Creation* – Build a ready-to-sell digital product using my system. No fluff. No party tricks. Just skills that pay. You’re the director. AI is your unpaid staff. Lock in your spot here: https://creatorlab.media/aia See you there. — J.O.

Pornography, pop culture and endless scrolling through a hyper-sexualized social media feed. None of it is accidental. It’s the architecture of a system designed to keep you drifting. It's profitable to everyone in the loop, except yourself. If you’ve been feeling drained, unfocused, or addicted to stimulation, this session will show you why… and perhaps suggest how to break free. None of this is your fault. Your desires have been engineered. Your impulses monetized. Your time converted into data and sold on the open market. All this time, you've been up against corporations with PhDs on their payroll. They know us better than we perhaps know ourselves. It’s time to stop being the product... and start being the producer of your own thoughts, actions and destiny. Please find your invite below. Date: Saturday 25th October, 2025 Time: 9pm, Nigeria Time Registration: https://obidi.co/eom See you there. — John Obidi

Tonight, we return to Night School with "The Game of Money Revisited". You see, words carry more meaning than meets the eye. And this is why as students of the Game of Life, we must be students of language. And as students of language, the first thing we must do when encountering a word is to determine its etymology (its origin), as well as its connotative and denotative meanings. Thanks for ChatGPT, we can now just throw that into a prompt. Anyway, back to money matters. The word 'Capital' comes from the Latin word 'Caput', meaning 'head'. And so English words that have anything to do with the head or leadership have it in them - Cap, Captain, Capital. It's used with respect to money because capital was historically considered the "head" or most important part of one's resources. So imagine being born into a country whose economic system is Capitalism, and you wait until your 30s to learn what it means, how it works and how you can bend it to your advantage. Tonight at Night School, we will correct that together. If you're already on the "Level Up Series" list, the link is in your email.

The wealthiest people in the world are not necessarily the smartest or most educated. This is not necessarily cliché. While intelligence certainly provides a noticeable edge, the most prosperous people seem to have some attributes in common. Leaning on intelligence alone will only make you a well paid employee/advisor of the wealthy, and not necessarily make you one of them. These include: - Adaptability: Regardless of how circumstances turn out, find a way to still get results. - ⁠Pragmatism: The ability to see the facts as they are and act on them, regardless of any emotional fantasies of how things ought to be - ⁠A strong bias for action, instead of getting stuck in analysis paralysis. If we fail, so be it. But if we win, partayyy! - ⁠Courage to just do things - ⁠Energy efficiency: Choosing to expend one’s life force on attempting only the biggest opportunities, industries and markets - ⁠Stamina for long distance races. Being able to persist in one direction for years until a big payoff. - ⁠Being comfortable with public scrutiny. Let people watch, let people talk. My will be done on earth! Wisdom might be the principal thing, allegedly. But it’s not the only thing. There are rich wise men and poor wise men. The rich ones have the above qualities in common. *Assignment for your private journal* In which of the above areas did you excel this past week? In which areas can you improve in this coming week? Rooting for you! — J.O. PS: New Money Weekend has been rescheduled for 11-13 July. Watch this space.
