One Degree.Today

09/28/2026

I'm going through this crazy intensive training right now on building AI tools and I'm getting pretty good at it.
But I need practice on real businesses — not just fake ones.
So I’m looking for 2-3 business owners who want a custom Closing Call app…for FREE! (Waiving the setup fee.. LOL Getting paid peanuts!)
It texts you the SECOND a new lead comes in with a score & sales script based on their info, so you can call & close them before anyone else does.
FYI:
78% of ppl buy from the first business to respond
Responding within 1 min increases conversions by 391%
You're 100x more likely to reach a lead within 5 minutes than at 30
So, if you close clients via phone, Zoom or text, this is for you!! Let’s get you more money in the bank!
No catch. I just want the experience (and a testimonial if you love it).
Just drop a comment and we can start building!

My One Degree steps this week:

I became a brand this week! 🏆 And I purchased my name as a domain so that I can begin building out the full platform and bringing everything together.

I worked with a couple of coaches and leveraged AI, Claude, to help me get clarity around my strategy and business development plan, and developed a business strategy document to help me capture and track everything. 📝

✅ I connected Claude to my Todoist Planning tool.

🎤 I connected Claude to my Otter transcription service.

I used Otter to capture conversations and then summarize key learning points, takeaways, and action items. ✍️

I had Claude read the Otter summaries and incorporate key strategic points into my business strategy document. 📑

I then had Claude read the action items from Otter and create them as tasks in my Todoist with target dates and success criteria. 🎯

And ChatGPT helped me create this image. 😉

What will your One Degree step be Today? Let me know in the comments… You’ve got this! 🥇

My One Degree steps lately have been around learning to use AI to grow and market ourselves better, for greater impact and influence. Have you tried it yet? What One Degree step will you take with AI Today? 

As a Christian, I’ve had to make some very clear decisions about my use of AI. If you’re a fellow believer and you’ve been wrestling with what AI is and whether or not to use it, I want to encourage you to lean in and be salt and light, and to make an impact and difference in this arena and leveraging its capabilities.

It has been helping me learn how to do things that I don’t know how to do in order to grow our ministry and my business, saving me time and money and helping us to reach more people for greater impact.

For example, I know how to create marketing graphics, but AI is helping us to create graphics that are leveraged, and that will speak to our audience in a more impactful and clear way, helping them to know exactly what actions to take to experience the transformation and impact that they’re looking for.

I know how to build websites, but AI is helping me to develop pathways and a journey for our community, funnels, lead generation, and an ecosystem that makes sense across our media ministry, books, coaching, and speaking. 

Here are a few specific examples…

AI helped me to optimize the marketing postcard for our Faith, Fear and Your Promised Land Bible study. The copy ties our whole ecosystem together better and is cleaner and more impactful and relational, directing people to take a specific action. The QR code goes directly to a free resource that is now available behind a lead capture.

We’ve launched literary awards for our Content Media Conference… AI has helped us develop marketing graphics that capture the heart and soul of everything we’re trying to do. It also helped me develop the judging rubrics, since I’m completely new to doing that, and it has helped our leadership team do better work and stay more organized by capturing our ideas and helping us to refine our thought processes and the program. 

Try it! You can do it! And I’m happy to be a thinking partner to help you.

My One Degree for Today: getting up out of the grave of limiting beliefs, saying “I am not….” (Insert limiting beliefs here) and allowing God, the great I AM, to turn that grave into a garden where my life, my purpose, and, most importantly, HIS plans and purposes are able to flourish and THRIVE.
