This morning's mastermind was one of those sessions I'll be referencing for a long time.

Let me give you the full debrief — because the intel we dropped today is worth more than most paid courses.

But first, a word from today’s sponsor.

For its first CTV campaign, Jennifer Aniston’s DTC haircare brand LolaVie had a few non-negotiables. The campaign had to be simple. It had to demonstrate measurable impact. And it had to be full-funnel.

LolaVie used Roku Ads Manager to test and optimize creatives — reaching millions of potential customers at all stages of their purchase journeys. Roku Ads Manager helped the brand convey LolaVie’s playful voice while helping drive omnichannel sales across both ecommerce and retail touchpoints.

The campaign included an Action Ad overlay that let viewers shop directly from their TVs by clicking OK on their Roku remote. This guided them to the website to buy LolaVie products.

Discover how Roku Ads Manager helped LolaVie drive big sales and customer growth with self-serve TV ads.

The DTC beauty category is crowded. To break through, Jennifer Aniston’s brand LolaVie, worked with Roku Ads Manager to easily set up, test, and optimize CTV ad creatives. The campaign helped drive a big lift in sales and customer growth, helping LolaVie break through in the crowded beauty category.

INTEL DROP #1: The Local AI Revolution Is Real

Andy Worgino came on the space with news that changes the game for every operator reading this.

Alibaba's Qwen 3.5 — a 9-billion parameter model — just dropped. It runs on a Mac Mini with 16GB RAM. Benchmark scores: 84% range. Claude Opus, Grok: 89% range.

That's within 5%.

Here's the part most people miss: every single document, contract, or prompt you upload to any cloud-based AI foundation model goes into their training data. Your company secrets. Your client strategies. Your proprietary frameworks.

A local server running a local LLM changes that entirely. $1,500 gets you 80–90% of what Grok does — inside your network, talking to nobody.

The new high-income skill: build, operate, and manage AI agents. The new title: Chief Agent Officer.

INTEL DROP #2: The Outreach Framework That's Printing Results

Both Andy and I aligned on this one — and I'm sharing my exact lead-in right now:

"Hey, I found some hidden revenue opportunities with your website. Mind if I share them?"

That's my opener. That's what's converting to proposals.

The framework: Lead with pain → Show the gap → Offer the solution → Then talk budget.

Never. In. Reverse.

Andy's framing: "Find the people who are on their hands and knees praying for what you offer. Your job is to find them — not convince people who don't care."

Think about it like a restaurant ad. They don't explain the cooking process. They just ask: Are you hungry?

INTEL DROP #3: The Student Who Made $18K in 90 Days (3 Hrs/Day)

Riley shared this and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Personal development coach. Six months of burnout. Zero revenue. Ready to quit.

In 45 days of coaching:

By day 90: $18,000 total. Working 3 hours a day.

The lesson: The offer was always worth more. He just didn't believe it yet.

Which brings me to Will's drop...

INTEL DROP #4: The Baseline Shift That Changes Everything

Will's client had a $14K month. Came back to Will saying he wanted to "win more."

Will's response: "14K is not a win anymore. That's your new baseline."

The neuroscience: Your mind is a psychocybernetic mechanism — it finds a way to get you exactly where you believe you deserve to be. No more, no less.

You don't need a new funnel. You need a new identity.

The action: Stop celebrating your last big win. Make it your floor. Build from there.
