Well, we did it…the first ever Rock Star cruise happened this past week and we all survived to tell the tale!
That’s a picture of most of us, but not all of us.
The ship was unlike anything I had ever seen, the Utopia of the Seas is a monstrous cruise ship, wow.
We shared meals together every night, we visited Royal Caribbean’s private island, we watched NHL playoff games, saw diving shows, rode water slides, visited the spa and the gym, zip lined and maybe even had a drink or two.
Here’s a pic of the ship parked at the island…

We also had the first ever YLYT Event on international waters!
We discussed the future of real estate and the economy in a world of rapidly accelerating A.I. advancements.

Most people are confused about Artificial Intelligence.
Everyone seems to be talking about it.
But AI is not any sort of solution to your life or to your business or to your investing.
This all reminds me of the tech bubble in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Don’t get me wrong, AI is here to stay. It’s going to change everything.
And AI is a steamroller that is absolutely going to wreak havoc across all employment.
But here’s the thing…
AI is going to make the rich richer.
AI is going to make influencers online have even larger reach.
AI is going to launch a million new companies, only a tiny percentage will survive.
Living through one huge tech cycle, let’s share what we’ve seen before.
Because we have been here before.
The vast majority of people will chase AI opportunities in new startups and miss what’s going on.
What tech did to information in the early 2000s, making it globally accessible...
AI is doing to intelligence.
It’s going to rip apart the ivory tower of credentials that were once assigned importance.
Everything from doctors to engineers to lawyers will have to compete with an AI that produces the same intelligence but 24/7 and 365 days a year with no attitude and almost free.
Any new AI company is going to compete with a single person in South America with access to the same AI to launch a single person startup that will shock the world.
We won’t be surprised to see a single person company hit $1B in market cap sometime in the next 5 years.
But here’s the thing…
Most people think we’re moving from the Information Age to the Intelligence Age.
That move is almost already OVER.
We’re moving to the post-Intelligence age as all of our intelligence is turned into a commodity easily accessible through Grok or ChatGPT.
Just try uploading your blood work into AI and asking a few personal health questions, you’ll be shocked.
Or toss in a few complicated economics reports and ask how it applies to Canada.
Or turn on Bluetooth and while you’re driving ask AI for a 2-minute summary of any book you’re thinking about.
Any book at all!
Then ask questions about the book.
If you’re not seeing that intelligence has already been turned into a commodity, that should do it.
As AI introduces literal abundance in the world, hard assets get even more scarce.
This is why we’re focused on:
1. Physical assets…hello good starter homes in good areas.
People still need a place to live, they always will. Heck the government may have to pay for it but shelter is a need, not a want.
And starter homes are always the most liquid physical asset.
2. Digital assets…hello Bitcoin.
The only piece of technology that cannot be instantly copied and recreated by AI. Let us repeat that, the only digital asset that cannot be instantly copied…that has a true moat around it. The only one. If you don’t understand this, it’s time to.
Mix the two above to your personal liking.
So in a very rapidly changing economy that will catch almost everyone off guard we’re focusing on:
Physical real estate…
…and…
Digital real estate.
In the early 2000s, the majority was distracted by “websites” that would change the world and missed that the Internet would dismantle global retail via Amazon, turn the entire movie industry upside down with streaming, and crush massive phone companies who had to pivot hard into selling “data” instead of phone lines.
Wild times are in play right now.
The opportunities are huge if you know where to look.
At our Platinum and VIP meetings over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing more about this with members.
Where are pockets of real estate opportunities expanding?
How does the economy look with digital real estate (aka capital) entering the game?
And we just wrote a piece on this for all Rock Star members in this month's member newsletter.
We’re living life on our terms and will continue to!
And you can too!!
Talk next week,
Tom & Nick
p.s. Leafs up 2-0…are we even surprised? LOL! Yeah! Go Leafs Go!!
