Friday Finds for you…

Last week, I mentioned that I’m working on an informal challenge to use Notes to write a mini book, or a lead magnet, or something else.

[Poll] What topic should I write about?

A few subscribers have joined me in this challenge and we’re about a week into it. I’m using Chat to post daily prompts for those in the Challenge. It’s not to late to join us!

This week, I got derailed by the fires in L.A. and power outage in my neighborhood for about 48 hours. The fires are still wreaking havoc all over the County, but I did get my power back so I can get back to work. See end of post for link to resources to help victims of the fires.

If you’re interested in following along with my progress and sharing feedback and comments, you’ll find all my Notes here. If you’re a subscriber or follow me, you should also see them in your feed.

On the AI front, here are two articles that tackle the need to humanize your AI copy:

From

Andy O'Bryan

The Emotion-Driven Copy Formula Nobody’s Talking About

And from

Mark Schaefer

It's time to discern the role of humans in an AI world

And from Los Angeles:

Finally, if you want to help Los Angeles fire victims, here’s a comprehensive list compiled by my local radio station KCRW.

As of the time of writing, tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate or are under evacuation orders. Thousands have lost everything: homes, businesses, and pets.

If you can help your fellow human beings during this massive disaster, please open your heart and choose whatever way you can from the list linked above.

Thank you. ❤
