    The marketing world is being rewritten in real time. AI is eliminating old skill sets while creating unprecedented opportunities for those who act fast. Stefan breaks down exactly how young entrepreneurs can leverage AI tools like vibe coding, Cursor, and Claude to build valuable solutions in days, not months.

    • The exact AI skills that are in highest demand right now (and how to learn them fast)
    • How to use AI to solve real problems for established businesses willing to pay
    • Why aging "boomer businesses" are goldmines for AI-savvy entrepreneurs

    • Why teams are desperate for people who can think AND execute with AI
    • The fastest path to making your first $10K using AI tools

    Stefan doesn't hold back, he shares why 98% of your competition can't think critically, why the bar is lower than you think, and how curiosity + AI skills = unlimited opportunity.

    Traver Boehm is an author, men's work facilitator, and founder of the Uncivilized movement.

    What would you do if you only had one year left to live? Traver Boehm actually did it—designing a radical 12-month social experiment that transformed everything. From spending 28 days in complete darkness to volunteering in hospice, he shares what truly matters when you strip away all the noise.

    Expect to learn why most people reach the end of their lives wishing they'd worked less, what 49 days of isolation in pitch-black darkness reveals about yourself, why presence is the greatest gift you can give anyone, how volunteering with dying patients changed his entire perspective on living, the real reason we stay trapped in systems that make us miserable, why your phone addiction is stealing years from your life, how to find the right partner when you don't drink, what radical simplification looks like in practice, why taking risks in your 20s is crucial before attachments pile up, where true self-worth comes from when external validation disappears, and much more...
