AI can (and should) put money in your bank account.

But most AI tutorials online? Just cute to know.

You don't walk away with a high-leverage SKILL you can IMMEDIATELY monetize.

I mean… who will pay you to change jacket colors or edit pictures to look like you're in New York?

Cute. But not monetizable.

*So on November 18-19, we’re doing something different.*

A FREE workshop focused ONLY on 3 AI skills people are actively paying for:

✅ *AI Ad Creatives* – Create scroll-stopping ads 10X better than Canva. No design skills needed.

✅ *AI Copywriting* – Sell any product with words that trigger buying intent. Even if you can't write copy.

✅ *Product Creation* – Build a ready-to-sell digital product using my system.

No fluff. No party tricks. Just skills that pay.

You’re the director. AI is your unpaid staff.

Lock in your spot here:

See you there.

In my study of wealth, I’ve been drawn to books written for Nation states and Corporate Institutions so I can apply their lessons to the microcosm of the individual.

You may find them valuable too.

Books like:

- Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith

- ⁠Start‑Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle by Dan Senor & Saul Singer

- ⁠Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies by Jim Collins

- ⁠Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t by Jim Collins

- ⁠From Third World to First: The Singapore Story 1965‑2000 by Lee Kuan Yew

Honorable Mention, books by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Ruler of Dubai):

- My Vision: Challenges in the Race for Excellence

- ⁠Flashes of Thought

Study notes and afterthoughts to Economy of Mind 4 will be sent out tomorrow. If you’re not on that list and would like to receive them, please sign up here: https://obidi.co/eom

☝🏼 Students of life must be students of history.

As King Solomon eloquently put it:

—
“What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;

there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one can say,

“Look! This is something new”?

It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
—

Humans are all the same across generations.

The actors get replaced, yes.

But the play is the same.

A great book in this regard is “Lessons in History” by Will Durant.

A money equivalent would be “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” by Thomas Pikett

And yeah, this quote I’ve always attributed to Bob Marley, but just now double checked and realized it was actually by Maya Angelou - “If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going”

Movie: The Holdovers (2023)

☝🏼Personally, I don’t like to use AI photos. I’m too shy ☺️

However, I know that there’s currently a huge demand for it.

The problem I see with even the paid courses is that the end result doesn’t RESEMBLE the original subject to an appreciable degree.

There’s something called IDENTITY LOCKING which I will show you tomorrow.

We know that AI is not yet at 100%, but this technique will enable you achieve 90% resemblance.

I will give you for free, what others charge for… except that mine will be better.

You don’t even need to know how to prompt, just trust me and do as I do.

And as usual, just for coming, I’ll let you download all the prompts we will use for the classes.

See y’all tonight.

— J.O.

Seeeeeee!

Please ohhhh… don’t miss this workshop.

The last time I taught an AI class was last year when the tools were still average. Now they’re crazy good.

There’s nobody who will agree to teach for free, what you’re getting tonight.

If you’re unskilled or moderately skilled, you will change your bio by tomorrow because of AI.

If you’re already in business, imagine adding this to your skill stack? What will happen to your income?

And how much would this ad have cost to produce 5 years ago?

Now you can generate it in 30 seconds… if you follow my directions.

Please look into your mailbox for access details.

Night School goes live at 9pm WAT tonight with the 5th installment in the “Economy of Mind” series.

Let me digress here to drag some people just a little bit.

Those who insist on adding a ‘the’ where it was intentionally left out.

See me feeling like a New York Times bestseller worthy poet/copywriter coming up with “Economy of Mind”.

Someone in Osogbo will read that and insist I made a grammatical error 😩

My people, I’ve always admonished that regardless of your immediate environment, your competition is not Adekunle from down the street.

Your competition is:
•⁠ ⁠an Ivy League graduate of The Humanities in San Francisco
•⁠ ⁠⁠a Y-Combinator alumni in Austin, Texas
•⁠ ⁠⁠a Robotics engineer in Shanghai
•⁠ ⁠⁠a 21-year old intern with Gucci, Milan

Insist on beating your chest with “this is how we do it here in Abakaliki” and your children will be slaves of their children.

Resources are available. But you must be coachable and teachable.

You must have the indomitable will to be both King in Ogbomoso and King in London.

Let people of all tongues, cultures and economic status all agree on your pedigree.

The new economy will create its new classes of haves and have-nots.

It’s not fair but it will happen regardless.

Anyway… rant aside.

We go live in an hour.

☝🏼 Meet Ayo, the latest member of our team.

I just hired him as our official spokesperson.

He is AI, so I don’t pay him anything yet, but I’m still thinking about it because of his vibes and dance steps.

Anyway, just as he said, if you haven’t enrolled, you can join us tomorrow here: https://designthedecade.com/ If you’re facing payment issues, please send a WhatsApp message to Steve on +2349137505306

“To whom much is given, much will be required…”

The majority of humans, however, were not given much… but don’t tell them that.

Still, because they form the mass market… most books are written for them, so that authors can stay commercially successful.

The advice in those bestsellers are good enough _for them_, but will not work for you.

Your own path is different, and in finding it, you cannot afford to be lazy.

Nothing regular will work.

You were always destined to fail… _at small things_.

— J.O.

In 2026, it is MANDATORY that you become and move as a master of your craft.

Not a dabbler. Not a tourist.

A master, I said… transgenerational and multidisciplinary.

The world should feel nothing but wonder at your output.

I recommend that you spend quality time visualizing what that looks like.

Anything less, and the Zeitgeist (with AI as its noble whip) will turn you into a peasant.

It’s crowded and treacherous at the bottom… smelly too.

You’ve done your time. Come up higher now.

Onwards and Upwards.

What Your Dad Should Have Told You 👇

Speakers/teachers/mentors who say “there are no stupid questions” will quietly judge and punish you for asking stupid questions.

The Game of Life is more political than you might know.

In 1956, The Leader of China, Mao Zedong, encouraged citizens (mostly intellectuals, artists and party members) to offer constructive criticism of the Communist Party's errors.

The famous slogan was: “Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend.”

Thus the initiative was nicknamed the “Hundred Flowers Campaign”

At first, the people were skeptical, thinking it was a trap.

But Chairman Mao claimed the government needed outside feedback to improve its relationship with the people and to fix bureaucratic problems.

And so, when a few people accepted the invitation without consequence, all sorts of criticisms poured in.

People openly attacked the party's control, corruption, and lack of freedom.

It was eventually discovered to be a “Lure The Snake” strategy.

What followed was a purge as over 500,000 people who had spoken up (or were accused of speaking up) were labeled as enemies of the state.

They were sent to labor camps for "re-education" or simply executed.

Now, relax…

Of course this is an extreme example.

It’s not like such a thing can happen in the modern world, right?

Right? 🙃

But in the games humans play, they often execute microcosms of the larger games… sometimes even subconsciously.

We cannot help ourselves.

Our species are irredeemably condemned to repeat history.

It’s only in your best interest to at least study it.

So, back to the original point… if you must know a thing, exhaust all *private* avenues to acquire the answers you need.

But when stepping up to ask a question publicly, here’s the truth they won’t admit to you.

It’s not about the question.

It’s a branding/positioning opportunity to the teacher and other onlookers.

What you ask and even how you ask, tells them a story about what you are… and instructs them about how much deference you are worth.

Unless they are also reading this, they will not be able to stop themselves from eating out of your hand if you practice this well enough and execute.

In this age of social media, you can exponentially multiply the effect by getting a friend to record this interaction… and post online.

Maybe use the footage for ads 🙃🙃🙃

If I keep talking here, you won’t come to Night School, so… see you tomorrow 😂

Talk soon,

PPS: Your dad should have forced you to study history as a cheat code to life.

We are the same creatures, repeating the scripts, just with new names.

Or as Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr (1849) remarked, “Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.”

It means - The more things change, the more they stay the same

[Night School] There’s a visible world. And there’s the world that decides outcomes.

In 1896, an Italian sociologist, Vilfredo Pareto, discovered that a hard fact of wealth inequality - that approx 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population.

This held true all over the world, and long after his death, the principle was named after him - The Pareto Principle also known as the 80-20 rule.

The _*what*_ is easy to recite, but the real value lies in the _*why*_.

Is this Pareto distribution of success a flaw in the system, or an essential part of its design?

How do you win in a game that quietly taxes the uninitiated?

Tonight at 9, we will break down how this game is structured, how winners set the terms and how you can build “winning conditions” instead of begging reality for mercy.

There are lucrative economic activities that you’re the best in the world at…

Stuff that would take a regular person 5 years of experience to master, but would take you 6 months max.

But you do not know that they exist.

That’s why wealthy Americans give their kids a gap year where they explore their interests with no pressure, before college.

I often refer to this instruction as “eating the world”.

Eat the world like you would at a real buffet, tasting a little bit of everything until you find the one that you’d like to _*chop bellefull*_.

Poor people hate being lectured on career choices, and this is mind boggling to me, because this is 79% the reason their income is suboptimal.

Where did you reckon money comes from?

People who optimize for sovereignty do not leave their career choices to chance or something as fleeting as ‘interest’.

It’s like going to war and choosing to wield a pistol as your primary weapon, simply because it’s light and you like how it feels to the touch.

You would stand little chance against someone who trains his strength to match the discomfort of a standard Assault Rifle.

He chose that, not because he likes to carry around such a noisy and heavy object, but because it’s literally a matter of life and death.

And that’s how elite individuals make money decisions - as a matter of life and death - not a matter of “if God wills it”

_*“Well, I will it. And this, that and the other, are what I’m willing to do to ensure it.”*_

And so, if you’re still in your 20s and haven’t started yet, or you’re older and looking for a pivot, please listen carefully.

*You’re late…* and your urgency to this reset must reflect that you’re *“redeeming the times”*.

You must study Capitalism all over again, especially as a citizen of a conquered/colonized Third World country…

…because you’re forced to participate in a game (Capitalism) that your ancestors did not create.

You’re an immigrant to the game, playing it with/versus those who created it and designed its rules.

So when I say *study*, I didn’t say ‘read a book about’.

The dictionary meaning of study is

“learn *intensively* about something, especially *in preparation* for a *test* of knowledge.”

See the difference?

It’s not about casually skimming summaries or absentmindedly reading it so you can boast that you did.

You’d have to resort to Secondary School tactics - timetables, your customized curriculum, assessments and hands on practicals.

And you must do all of it non-stop.

It’s not a matter of reading “Think and Grow Rich”, which is cute, but will not make you rich.

Study Money and the complete curriculum of capitalism, as though you would die if you didn’t.

I’ve sent you previous study materials, but an update will be sent along with this week’s “Night School Afterthoughts & Study Notes” to all who registered for “The Architecture of Advantage”

If you didn’t register but would like to receive the materials, please scroll up to the message above this and use the link.

Rooting for you!
