of AIs and humans.


Hi [FULL_NAME GOES HERE],

“Goodness, is AI coming for our jobs?” - he asked.

See, I was showing them our software BruteForce.AI - and he was astonished by the raw horsepower that let BruteForce.AI dive deep under the hood of ads, scripts and themes.

I had to say: no. AI isnt coming for our jobs.

Not true for the 10x marketers who embrace AI.

Here is why.

AI is only as good as its inputs.

It’s not a magic bullet for everything.

AI doesn’t work without the right inputs.

Heck, even with the right inputs and bad guardrails, it will make $*!# up.

But what can it do?

It can analyze every ad.

It can evaluate every script.

It can detect patterns faster than any human.

BUT only if the human is orienting it in the right direction.

And that’s where the magic happens.

Because when you combine AI with human strategy, you get a compounding advantage.

You get better.

Your scripts get better.

Your results get way better.

It’s a virtuous cycle that keeps going.

..and that is what makes 10x marketers EVEN better.

because 10x marketers use the best of AI and human brains.

Hi [FULL_NAME GOES HERE], I just watched a team light $100,000 on fire. Not literally. But close enough. Soooo I was auditing this account that was spending in the six figures. They had this BEAUTIFUL creative briefing deck. I mean, this thing was a masterpiece: ✅ Hypotheses laid out like a scientific paper ✅ Cutesy little gifs to showcase every concept ✅ Brand values articulated with surgical precision ✅ Shot sequences scripted better than most Netflix shows It was the kind of document that...

Hi [FULL_NAME GOES HERE], Many moons ago, I had this weird morning ritual. For the first 60 minutes of my day, I'd grab a pen and a stack of papers... and I'd literally handwrite famous sales letters. Word. For. Word. Halbert. Schwartz. Ogilvy. The legends. Why the hell would I waste my time doing that? Because I wanted that stuff BURNED into my brain... All those psychological triggers: scarcity, pain, desire, FOMO, urgency... I wanted to not just study these - I wanted to reprogram my...

Hi [FULL_NAME GOES HERE] "There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all." - Peter Drucker "I just made 200 ads in 20 seconds!" - LinkedInBro Let me tell you why that second quote makes me want to throw my laptop out the window. I've been watching this bizarre trend unfold where everyone's bragging about how FAST they can churn out ads with AI. Like it's some kind of digital duck-measuring contest. ** Let's be brutally honest here. I've been guilty of...
