November Recap: Carey, Curious, and Community


Read time: 3 min 15 sec

Whatup Reader!

And just like that it’s time for Michael Bublé to come out of hiding and for Mariah Carey to make upwards of $2.5 million from royalties for ONE song.

If that stat has you ready to throw your phone, know that I'm right there with you, and also, the end of this email has an announcement about tomorrow's Cyber Maestro Monday sales, so maybe skip down there first and then throw.

If you’re new here, I send these recap emails out on the last day of each month as a way to share the things that this awesome community has told me they’ve found helpful, and also to let you in on things that are coming your way in the next few months. I know you’re busy and I realize I put out a lot of content in a bunch of different places, so if you’re ever worried about missing anything, rest assured that the monthly recap will have all the important stuff in it.


From the (other) ‘Gram:

All continues to be pretty quiet on the Maestro-front, but I’m testing out my sea legs over on the ChatGPT Curious Podcast page. Yes, I’m doing exactly what I teach my students not to do, and having two pages. I started the page simply to make sure no one else took the handle, but last month I started getting the itch to share the Curious Companion contents somewhere else besides the newsletter. We shall see what comes of it. For now, enjoy the two posts that went up in November. Smash the pics to be taken to the full post.


From the OG Podcast, Maestro on the Mic:

New episodes of Maestro on the Mic drop every Monday. Tune in wherever you listen to your pods. Tap the links below to listen to any of last month’s episodes or click the thumbnails to watch on YouTube and see just how animated I am when I speak ;-)

Thank you to everyone who has left a rating or review, and thank you in advance to anyone who was just guilted into leaving one ;-)

PS – How dope are these thumbnail images?! Shoutout to @docjoeo for crushing it.


From the New Podcast, ChatGPT Curious:

New episode of ChatGPT Curious dropping every Thursday. Tune in wherever you listen to your pods, and if you prefer eyeballs to earbuds, subscribe to the newsletter,The Curious Companion. Tap the links below to listen to any of last month’s episodes.


From the Business:

  • Cyber Maestro Monday sales will be here TOMORROW (December 1st)! 24 hours only. 30% off of all my self-paced courses, and 60% off of registration for a brand-new live webinar that y’all requested: ChatGPT for Online Business Owners. The webinar will be going down on Tuesday, December 9th at 11am, and yes, there will be a recording. Get ready to save your spot and save the monies!
  • Attention brick and mortar business owners!!! Lex and I will be launching round 3 of our joint program, The LextroMind, in December. If you’re a brick and mortar business owner who wants to create and successfully launch your first online offer, CLICK HERE to learn more and add your name to the interest list.

From Last Month’s Recap

  • New month, same need. Don’t forget that if you’re looking for ways to help out in your community, call your local foodbank and see what they need donated and/or need help with. Just because things aren’t in the headlines anymore doesn’t mean that the problem has been solved.

Alrighty, that’s it for October. Bring on November!

Puhlease feel free to hit me back and let me know if you have any podcast episode requests, IG post ideas, or suggestions for new workshops/courses/services. I promise I read every single response.

Happy Sunday, Reader.

Maestro out.

I’ve got no lessons that are top of mind that I want to teach, or that I think are more important than what señor Benito shared with us during those 13 minutes. If you haven’t watched, go watch. If you already watched, go watch it again. Then hit me back and let me know your favorite part. This was mine: #IYKYK Bonus points if you send me your favorite meme.

If you follow me on the ‘Gram then you might have seen my post outlining this information, but I wanted to make sure to share it here as well because Instagram clearly isn’t the be all end all.

This past weekend, Lex and I were fortunate enough to have a completely full dining room table (so full that we actually had to bring in the two chairs that we typically have out on the patio). Our dinner table was full, our hearts were full, our bellies were full, and needless to say, our schedules were full. Community involves people, people have...
