Doubling down to No Code and AI

Dec 24, 2022

Hi my friends! How are you!?
I am back in my Sicily for these vacations, and my focus was more on eating good food, rather than preparing the newsletter. 🤣

Let’s go!

My AI Avatars

I produced my avatar pics with astria.ai (it should be the one used by Pieter Levels).

I’ll do it in my spare time, as I’m a full-time employee.

I finished reading the book “Find Joy in Chaos” by Kevon.
And I moved it into my second brain.

Mailbrew: great tool

I discovered Mailbrew thanks to

Mattia Righetti

It’s improving the way I consume newsletters.
Mailbrew provides you with a special mailbox you can use to subscribe to your favorite newsletter.
And you can decide when to receive a digest of them all.
Not only: you can decide how to consume other data sources, such as Reddit, Twitter, Youtube, and many others!

My friend Mattia is launching his 1:1 mentorship program.

I’ll take a little vacation here in Sicily, so I’ll have a pause for the next 2 weeks.
So I wish you Merry Christmas to you and your families!
