Thanks man! Appreciate it, didn't think the first 1-2 videos would be so hard to record, although I've had a ton of meetings at work, and a ton outside it with different people.
Thanks for the introduction. You go out of your way to state that you are not an Influencer, you are "the real deal" - a guy who is living the dream that so many people who sign up to newsletters and courses are chasing - you are a working software engineer. But you would not be writing this newsletter and offering courses unless you had other additional mbitions. So, is fair to assume that you want what many "influencers" have:? What are YOU goals in doing this?
That’s a fair point, and you’re right in some sense, the “influencer” term is broad. But I’d make this distinction.
An AI influencer is someone who chases reach and clicks, with shallow content and little real experience to back it up. Some people haven’t worked in the field or know how AI works in general, yet they rush to sell roadmaps on how to become an AI/ML engineer.
What I’m doing is different. All my content, tutorials, or courses are free, and I make sure it’s practical and grounded in real experience.
Yes, I want to build an audience and authority because visibility matters in this field where competition is high, but not for the sake of hype.
My goal is to educate and share substance, trying to help others grow and upskill.
If alongside me sharing what I love working on, helping a growing audience, I have people supporting my writing, that's awesome!
Nice bro, so refreshing to hear your voice hahaha :)
Kratos! :)
