Thank you for sharing this! There are so many families out there exhausted from life around a loved one with BPD, and most of them don't know help like this exists. 💙

Meet Brandie Rhode: the "hands-on" entrepreneur who turned a pandemic crash into a new mission. Read her story of rebuilding and why she helps small businesses move "beyond the likes."

If you have a loved one with BPD, you know the exhaustion.

The walking on eggshells. The feeling that nothing you do helps, and sometimes makes things worse.

This BPD Awareness Month, I want to introduce you to someone who has helped me personally, and who has been helping families like ours for over 20 years.

DBT coach Corrine Stoewsand doesn't work with the person who has BPD. She works with you.

Teaching you the skills to understand what is happening, respond differently, and find your footing again.

I recently sat down with her for a video interview. There is a lot of hope in this conversation.

No matter how much you post, the social media bouncer is only going to show it to a few people.

Which is why most posts get nothing more than a few sympathy likes.

But what if getting past that social media bouncer cost less than a coffee a day?

Dennis Yu teaches that even a tiny daily budget, done the right way, can get your posts in front of a whole new crowd.

Dennis Yu should know -- he has managed hundreds of millions in ad spend for brands like Nike.

I adapted his approach for the smallest business owners.

Getting into the room is the first part of getting real results on social media.

But you have to do it the right way.

Full breakdown in my StartupNation article.

Here's where it gets interesting.

Once you know how the room works, you can walk right in.

And once inside, you can finally see if your look and your message are getting attention.

The right kind of attention.

More on that in my StartupNation article.

You hit publish.
You wait.

A few likes from the same people who always show up.

But the customers you actually want to reach?
Never saw it.

Social media sites limit how many people see your posts.
It doesn't matter how good your content is.

The bouncer doesn't care. 🚫

There's a way to slip past the rope.

My latest article on StartupNation breaks it down.

🤯 My love/hate relationship, and shocking surprises with AI continues...

I gave Claude (usually amazing) a transcript to read and analyze.

It confidently summarized it, commented on it, and we started building on that work together.

What I didn't know? It had only read part of it.
No warning. No disclaimer. Just a partial read presented as a complete one.

It took several rounds of back-and-forth, and me noticing missing details, before the truth came out: by default, Claude samples large files rather than reading them fully.

And it won't tell you that unless you specifically ask.

The fix? A few options:

You can explicitly instruct it to read the entire file every time and ask it to confirm.

Or better yet, add it once to your project knowledge file or system instructions so it applies automatically every session without you having to remember.

Lesson learned the hard way.

Now I'm wondering what else I've missed in past sessions. 🤔

If you're using AI to work with transcripts, documents, or any uploaded content, don't assume it read the whole thing. Verify.

Remember your high school crush?

You tried everything to get their attention.

New outfit. Casual walk-by. Laugh louder near their locker.

Nothing. 💔

That's basically your relationship with social media right now.

You post. You tweak. You try again.

Crickets. 🦗

It's not your content. It's the bouncer.

My latest article on StartupNation explains why and what it takes to finally get a yes.

Do you really need a ring light and a film crew to get noticed?

I just made a simple video for my Kingston Spotlight newsletter. No captions. No music. No fancy AI effects. I wasn't even acting "perfect" because I was in a rush. I just trimmed the clip and cleaned up the background noise.

Meta Business Suite ended up labeling it as "high quality creative." 👀✨

With so much fake AI content and robotic images everywhere, being a real person is a massive advantage. People are tired of being sold to. When you share something real that connects, you don't need a hard sell to get attention.

The catch? I don’t have many followers on that page yet. If I had just posted it and hoped for the best, it would have gone nowhere.

Instead, I put ten dollars into a boost (a very specific way). That was it. Because the video was real, people actually stopped to watch. Now the reach and engagement are WAY up.

When your message is good, you don't need fancy editing. "Low production" actually builds more trust.

Shout out to Dennis Yu Liana Ling Drew Griffin for the inspiration to keep things real.

I love helping small business owners figure out this 'tiny-budget' stuff. If you have a question about how this works, just drop it below or send me a DM to say hi 👋

Canva continues to have their foot on the gas, bringing us incredible capabilities with every release.

There are several I am keen to try, but most of all, how well Canva's AI 2.0 will work with my preferred video editor Descript where already I am able to do so much video editing just conversationally. And for graphics for my beehiiv based newsletter.

I'll share some projects when I get a chance.

Anyone here successfully using Canva or Descript's AI?

The pendulum starts to swing back again, as it always does.

While it's hard to believe that the majority will abandon social media, I wonder how businesses will reach the unplugged/analog audience...

Gen Z and millennials deleting their social media platforms cite the increasing pressures of being online as well as the damage to their mental health.
