Where do you turn when you're searching for answers and the clock is ticking?

This week I share an author, speaker and podcaster who showed up in my feed and models exactly what I've been looking for: faith, business and a late-career mindset, all in one person. He gives away a lot of free content, and there's no buy-in required.

I explain why I'm following him, how I plan to take what he teaches and put it into action through the Spark Lab, and a simple challenge for you: listen until it makes sense, then decide what you'll do in the next 24 to 48 hours.

If you're near retirement age, running a small business or side hustle, or just feel stuck, this one's for you.
Keep moving. Get sparked.

In this episode:

• How a 97-database, three-server migration pushed me into AI, deep and fast
• Why I work a full-time job, a pizza route and care for my 89-year-old father, and still say you can start
• Where to start: Claude, ChatGPT and the people worth following, like Dan Martell
• Why financial freedom, not retirement, is the real question at 62

• 
  

I couldn't clone myself, so I got an assistant. This week I share how I went deep into AI with 35 years in IT, a sick father, a part-time job and a debt mountain, and why every reason not to start is a reason to start. Get acquainted with AI, then come back and tell me what you did.

In this episode:

• Russ shares how Spark Lab actually began — not as a plan, but as something that found him
• The week his dad was hospitalized was the same week he had to face 20 years of inherited manual work processes
• How that collision led him to AI, and the moment he said "I need an unfair advantage"
• Why he believes AI is leverage, not a replacement for wisdom, faith, or relationship
• A free resource: the complete 31-page AI Field Manual, available now at sparklabpro.com

This is the real story behind Spark Lab — not a polished origin myth, but what actually happened. In the same week Russ's father landed in the hospital, he also had to take over 20 years of manual processes inherited from a retiring coworker. Overwhelmed and out of time, he turned to AI for the first time in his 35-year IT career — and discovered something that changed everything. This episode traces that path honestly, and closes with an invitation: download the free AI Field Manual at sparklabpro.com and start your own journey.
