Welcome to the 19th Episode of the Ark Digest™️.
The Ark Digest™️ is a "Build-in Public" type of email where I'll share with you :
↱ My Goals & Focus for this Week
↱ My Current Thoughts & Interests
↱ My Stats from the Past Week
(Recorded through my data tracking system)
As well as other stuff like the music I'm listening to, recent content pieces I've read that inspired me, or the current animes I'm watching.
See this as an update email on my journey that can inspire & motivate you as you progress on your own.
Let's begin :
🐺 Current Tasks & Projects
1) My Current Progress with Noah's Ark
It's been 2 weeks since I've sent a Digest.
I spent the last week with friends in Bordeaux…
I was focusing on writing my latest newsletter on how to thrive in the AI age…
And I didn't have much more progress to share than the last digest, so I decided to skip it.
Even though I've been away from home for almost 3 weeks now, I'm glad of the progress I've made.
I've been mainly focusing on creating AI systems to accelerate my X growth.
I'm very happy with the workflow I've created and the results I've gotten so far in terms of output.
Now, if I want some serious results on X, there is only one solution:
Writing viral threads.
Good news, I also created an entire AI workflow to help write viral threads after analyzing 25+ viral threads with AI.
I also found some great accounts for paid distribution…
(Which is crucial if you want to get the initial traction to make your thread go viral in the first hour of its publication)
And now I only need to actually write my first viral thread and try this system out.
To be honest, I'm very confident in the results I'll get with the system.
I've done a lot of analysis and research work beforehand to make sure my AI is well-trained and that I understand the meta.
But I still need to try this system out.
Even though I've created an AI workflow that will speed up the process a lot, it still takes work to have good output.
I'll need to do some research, think of the overall thread viral angle, and find some good video materials to illustrate it.
So it still takes skill and time, but I'm confident that over time I'll be able to systemise the workflow to a point where I can compress the whole process in less than 2 hours, which would be wild.
Anyway, this system is a work-in-progress, and I'll keep you updated on it.
Because when I make it work and get some good results…
I'll, of course, share it with you through a course so you can apply it to your account and find sustainable growth as well.
The X game nowadays is all about viral threads + paid RTs (distribution) to get your threads the initial traction they need.
But one thread can make your account go from 0 to 1000s of followers overnight if you nail it right, so that's worth it.
There is a lot of leverage.
(And I love leverage lol)
My goal is to create my first viral thread experiment with paid distribution this week.
(I will probably start today after sending this email)
And I'm going to try various types of threads (list format, storytelling, authority, etc)
Basically, the end goal is to have my account follow the principles of the GAP Framework:
Growth Content - Viral Threads that will reach a lot of people in TOF
Authority Content - Long Form posts or threads that will share my expertise and value
Personal Content - Long Form posts sharing personal stories and my philosophy to create an emotional connection.
I linked an example to each type of content so you can see what it looks like.
Of course, my actual viral threads example isn't viral, because even though the thread is okay, I didn't have any distribution yet - so it couldn't take off.
Next attempt, I'll cook a better thread while having distribution this time, which will change everything.
See you when I get my first 1M impressions thread soon ;)
Creating these X systems to assist me in my growth made me realize that now that we have AI, the ability to scrape large amounts of data to feed it to AI is a cheat code.
And with AI now being able to write code as well, and all the no-code tools available on the market, it made me want to learn some coding and automation skills to assist me further.
For example, I could create an automation that automatically takes an IG or YouTube account, scrapes all of their videos, creates a transcript from each of these videos, and then has AI create an entire analysis of their strategy, philosophy, content format, thumbnail, title, and stuff for me.
This way, I could then feed these analyses with AI and examples, and then have AI trained on viral formats, trends, and then help me apply it to my own brand.
The possibilities are endless to be honest.
But I feel like learning this skill of automation and vibe coding for such use cases could be valuable for The Ark and the systems I design to help you.
Even though I want to keep a minimalist approach and not fall into the rabbit hole of over-complexifying everything - because that's our innate tendency as humans - I think I could still create automation that could save me a lot of time and have a lot of leverage.
Another example was having an automation that automatically writes tweets in my voice when I publish a new newsletter or YouTube video.
As I said, the possibilities are endless lol.
I haven't dug into it yet, but I know once I do, I'll get obsessed.
I also made great progress on my next course outline while coming back home on the train.
I've outlined the entire course and the content of each module - there are 12 in total.
I don't want the course to be too long, so I'll keep it like this and work on writing each module now.
But I'm very happy with the course structure so far.
I know this system will be a valuable additional resource to the Ark Weaponry.
2) Personal Goals
After almost 20 days being away from home…
It's time to get back into lazer focus mode.
I've had some great time with my friends and family…
And it was honestly very needed at this point, because I spent the last 5 months locked in my apartment without seeing any friends or doing any activities beside the routine most of the time.
Of course this focus was needed because I needed to get Noah's Ark on track.
I stopped working with the YT agency I was working with as a freelancer in january…
But because of that, I didn't had any income and needed to make money again.
Making money with Second Brain Simplified during the launch, and seeing all the positive feedback I received from y'all was honestly such a ray of light in my life.
Now I feel more confident and driven than ever, because I know what I'm doing has an impact and that I'm able to monetize it.
And this feeling is amazing, I haven't felt that since my last success with my first businesses.
Now the goal is to get back onto my focus routine.
More deepwork, better habits, less distractions.
And dedicating all my mental bandwidth to Noah's Ark and it's growth.
3) This Week Focus :
1 YouTube Video
1 Viral Thread
1 Newsletter
💭 Last Week Capture
In a world where AI can do everything, what matters isn't what you do or how you do it, but who you are, aka your vibrational frequency, your intensity, your character, your presence
Be unapologetically lazy. I am no perfectionist. I'm lazy AF. I only do things that I love. I'm always seeking the most efficient way to do things. I focus on building my life around only the things I love to do. I delegate everything else.

🎨 Weekly Inspiration
Video embed (view)
I found this video from David Shapiro about what he calls "Post Labor Economics".
He analyzes what the world could look like in such a future, what will remain and what will get deleted.
I'm only at the beginning of the video so far, but it has given me a lot of inspiration for the Ark and it's future.
One of the category of workers that could remain are the "Meaning Maker" which is very similar to what I talked about in my latest newsletter about creating unique perspective to thrive in the AI age.
I'm planning to go through my whole Zettelkasten process on his videos to really absorb it and apply this knowledge into my future content and brand positioning with the Ark.

🖌️ Quote of the Week
“If happiness or enjoyment is the combination of progress being made in contribution to something greater than yourself, and both are accomplished by solving problems for yourself and others, and problems are solved through creativity. Then the only logical and fundamental aim for your future is to embody creativity by becoming a creator.”
~ Dan Koe
