Growing up I was always a voracious learner with a penchant for travel. When I was in college I grew frustrated with the lack of real-world applications for the knowledge I was learning, and I was feeling anxious about becoming successful in the extremely expensive city of Los Angeles where I grew up.
I worked a corporate job at a marketing agency for two years before realizing that I would never reach my life or financial goals working for someone else. In 2012 I started my own business, with the goals of living a low-stress life, make millions per year, and travel the world. Since 2014, I have been able to achieve all these goals, consistently earning over 7-figures per year, and without having a single employee. I now focus my time on my startup, Advancepay.io
Now I live in Malibu with my two daughters, and enjoy flying helicopters, gardening, camping, and reading science-fiction books.
On my channel my goal is to get others as stoked about marketing as I am :)

Internet usage will be largely replaced by CLI's in a 5-10 year time horizon, prove me wrong. I'm close to releasing my software, working on making this an ecosystem-defining product.
It'll be easy to promote, and extremely difficult to jailbreak, even though it will exist and function offline.

Postponing todays livestream. Claude Codes source code was just leaked, and its an absolute breakthrough for software development.
I'm working on integrating these insights into the next version of Bonfire Terminal, which is geared around natural voice prompting and video editing, and social media posting workflows.
I mistakenly optimized Bonfire previously around terminal AI usage.... it gave most people headaches.
We're moving to natural voice prompting, for offline AI. Theres a whole layer of apps; Telegram, Discord, Slack, Whatsapp; that support easy, stable, reliable integration.

Most people spend 8+ hours a day creating content.
I spend 0.
I built an AI clone of myself that films, edits, and posts reels while I sleep.
Same voice.
Same face.
Same mannerisms.
And it generates leads 24/7.
Here’s what changed:
→ I went from 1 post/week to 3 posts per day
→ My engagement actually went UP
→ I got my time back to focus on scaling
The craziest part?
Nobody can tell the difference.
This same method is making people $10K+/month on Fanvue.
No showing your face.
No filming.
No editing.
You create a digital persona, and AI handles:
• the photos
• the messages
• the content
• everything
I put the entire method into a free PDF:
→ How to build your AI clone from scratch
→ The exact Fanvue setup that converts
→ How to automate DMs and content posting
→ The pricing strategy that maximizes revenue
This won’t stay free forever.

An early preview of the software I created, Bonfire Terminal™, Private AI Terminal that sells products online; *AI works for you, harder, better, faster, stronger*™.
Bonfire Terminal introduces Alpha AI℠, an 100% offline AI, with no dependencies, and zero credential exposure.
I created this with my AI Jean-Luc Godard℠, though we both agreed on the Cyborg Reassembly Story®
Seriously dudes, start ranking for any of the terms warp dot dev is trying to rank for, theyre super easy. Ill have Bonfire Terminal **$1k minimum commission per sale** affiliate links available on Digistore and maybe Clickbank soon.
We've found a sweet spot, and will be acquired by Amazon within 7 years time :)
I promise that I will throw exceptionally good parties in historic or exotic locations around the world (or even the solar system) as we grow.
Ask any questions you like, Im happy to explain part of the software and how its a work unlock. Most of the heeavy lifting comes from the programming language installation during the installer process, as Ive found AI is able to complete tasks better (faster, etc) when given access to programming languages and *connected to a GPU*. GPUs are winners. Figuring out how to correctly utilize them is the human knowledge-work multiplier that *took 13 years to unlock*.
Until I get this software done, Im keeping quiet. Some secrets are too $ to sell as 'coaching' or 'education'. First non-programmer to create certified software with AI. Someone prove to me otherwise.

btw, i gave one of my students permission to post ai generated shorts, posts, polls from me. that said, livestreams will always be 100% me. probably mid/long form youtube vids too though i may experiment.
Ill be letting pandora out of her box soon, so youll obviously get more content, but youll also be getting a cash blitz way to earn big commission by promoting bonfire terminal.

Were very close, the software is almost complete. It wont be 5-star software, but maybe a solid 3 of 5 from a critics POV, though an absolute gamechanger for me (ive been trying to make software since 2009), and for anyone seeking to sell online. Promotional push and livestreams will begin when i feel it is quality enough
