Man Morning blends motivation, humor, and honesty for men who are building better lives in real time, not pretending to have it all figured out.
Analog is the new luxury.
I've been having this weird realization lately.
I spend hours every week learning AI. Testing tools. Watching trainings. Refining prompts.
And I'm not stopping. You shouldn't either. This stuff matters.
But here's what's wild:
My biggest breakthroughs this year didn't come from ChatGPT or any software.
They came from a coffee with someone I hadn't seen in months.
A trip to New York City I almost canceled.
A dinner where someone asked one question changed how I see my entire business.
AI can build systems. It can write plans. It can predict trends.
But it can’t shake your hand.
In an artificial world, real life is the dangerous tool.
We've been optimizing everything through screens for years now.
Zoom calls. Slack threads. Online communities. AI writing our emails and proposals.
It works. It scales.
But efficiency isn’t the same as breakthrough.
The deal that actually moved my business forward? Coffee meeting.
The opportunity I never saw coming? Attending a conference.
The idea I've been building for months? Came from a dinner I almost skipped because of the drive.
When everyone’s hiding behind screens, showing up in person is the power move.
Not because digital doesn’t work, but because everyone’s doing it.
The handwritten note stands out.
The phone call hits different.
The walk and talk meet up creates momentum software can’t match.
Use AI. Get great at it.
But don’t let it replace the thing that creates breakthroughs: real connection.
Analog isn’t nostalgic. It’s rare.
And that’s what makes it the new luxury.
Whatever problem you're trying to solve right now, the full answer probably isn't in another AI prompt.
It's in a conversation with someone who's been where you're trying to go.
