BTS of my favorite tool right now & Alt Summit


Hey Reader,

I just got home from attending & speaking at Alt Summit 2025. I'm both filled with excitement for the year ahead and tired.

Get a sneak peek of what happened there in the Reel I posted Saturday.

The biggest takeaway? Community is everything. I have never felt so welcomed by a total group of strangers in my life. I walked in knowing no one and left knowing dozens of new people. It felt like starting at a new school as a new student. You walk in wondering if you'll have someone to sit with at lunch and by the end of the day you've got new friends to tell mom about.

I met people I have followed for years (Gabrielle Blair, the owner of the conference, Keenya Kelly to name two.)

With a community of people supporting you in your education and growth, whether financially or otherwise, you will go far.

  • Sign up for the networking event.
  • Go to the conference, even if you know no one.
  • Signup for the speaking opportunity.
  • Join the course.

I can't wait to go back and I can't wait to host my own event after seeing just how powerful this is for people.

Now to today's messaging. I posted a new YouTube video - a behind the scenes of my current favorite toy - The Pin Bot.

I show you how you can use it and get a lot out of it for your Pinterest strategy.

Pinterest dropped new guidance on how to actually create standout boards—and it’s more strategic than ever. According to Pinterest, boards are now being treated like mini landing pages. That means: Each board should serve a specific audience segment. They should be organized with intention. And every pin on the board should be relevant to the board’s purpose. Translation? Your boards could be...

Hello Reader, Pinterest just announced a major update: they’re rolling out AI-generated content labels across the platform. This means if you're using AI tools like DALL·E or Midjourney to create Pin images (or even AI-assisted designs in tools like Canva), Pinterest will start labeling those images as AI-generated. Here’s what you need to know: This is part of Pinterest’s effort to build trust and transparency as AI content becomes more common. Pinterest's own AI labeling technology will...
