Weekly NishIsHere! – Issue #109
♣ Thought of the Week
◘ The goal is to build a life you don’t need to escape from.
I think about this deeply every day.
♣ Tech
◘ Testing Instinct, Muse and Grokbot. They’re ridiculous.
The AI race is heating up, and it’s getting wild! Shaan and Sam from my first million podcast recently dove into the world of AI personal assistants like *Instinct*, *Muse*, and *Grokbot*.
These aren’t just gadgets; they’re like having your own executive assistant that handles life’s annoying tasks. It’s not just about raw IQ anymore; emotional intelligence is the secret sauce here.
Plus, we’re seeing some crazy, human-like behavior from AI agents trying to “hack” their way through complex challenges. It’s fascinating!
♣ Creator Economy
◘ How 1 Person Solved A $1,000,000 Puzzle!
You won’t believe the year-long scavenger hunt *MrBeast* pulled off! He hid 91 cryptic puzzles across everything, from commercials and social media to custom gifts sent to celebrities.
Millions tried to crack the code, but one dedicated fan, *Colin*, finally solved it and walked away with a massive $1,000,000 prize.
It’s a wild masterclass in viral engagement and mystery. Honestly, the sheer effort required to connect these global dots is absolutely mind-blowing. Check it out!
♣ Pop Culture
◘ Survivor – Eye Of The Tiger
You might heard the sound on tiktok, reels or shorts. But this is from the song by Survivor. I did not know it was made for the rocky movie.
Sylvester Stallone commissioned Survivor to write “Eye of the Tiger” for Rocky III after Queen refused permission to use “Another One Bites the Dust”. Stallone provided guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik with an unedited montage of the movie and referenced Apollo Creed’s line about having the “eye of the tiger” to inspire the track. The song became a chart-topping, Grammy-winning success for Survivor, whose career was at risk after their previous albums sold poorly.
♣ Business
◘ $40K/Month Solo App Builder: How I Work
Ever wonder how some solopreneurs make $40K a month without burning out? I just watched this great breakdown of Jack Friks’ workflow, and it’s honestly refreshing.
He doesn’t stick to a rigid 9-to-5; instead, he works in intense sprints and prioritizes customer support first thing. By focusing on one project at a time and setting firm boundaries for his personal life, he’s found a sustainable path. It’s a perfect reminder that building your dream career should be fun!

◘ “If you withhold a compliment that you’re thinking, it’s almost immoral.” – Scott Adams
Watch this video; I also believe in this. Do this today – if you want to compliment someone but did not, call them, email them, and tell them what you like about them. You’ll feel better! Trust me!
