Stop Hiding: How to Be Truly Real on Camera
In today’s digital world, everyone talks about authenticity, but are we really being real? In my latest video, I explore why showing up exactly as you are, with all the imperfections, is far more impactful than a polished version of yourself.
I shared a personal story from my digital nomad journey: setting up for a live podcast interview with less-than-ideal lighting and a “real-life” background—a kitchen, a fridge, and all. It wasn’t perfect, but it was genuine. And that’s exactly what people crave: real connection.
Platforms like TikTok didn’t explode because they were flashy, they exploded because they felt real. People want to know the human behind the screen, not just a curated persona. So my challenge to you: Stop worrying about “packaging your authenticity.” Ask yourself: how are you showing up real? What does the truth of your life look like when you’re not hiding behind filters, fancy studios, or staged perfection?

📽️ Chat-to-Video AI App Tutorial | N8N + GenSpark + Heygen
This week on AI Build, I walked everyone through something we’ve been developing behind the scenes for a while—our chat-to-video app. Now, this isn’t just another chatbot. What makes it exciting is that instead of only returning text, it can generate a full video response to your question. Imagine asking a question in a chat window and getting a personalized video back—that’s the kind of functionality we’re building.
I showed how the system ties together N8N for the backend workflow and GenSpark for the frontend interface. The workflow pulls from my book The Delegation Trap using a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) setup, turns the answer into a clean video script, and then sends it to Heygen to create the video. There are a lot of moving parts: cleaning transcripts so Heygen doesn’t choke, setting up webhooks to pass data correctly, polling for video status, and handling the quirks like when Heygen splits longer responses into multiple videos.
On the frontend, GenSpark makes it user-friendly. You can type or speak a question, choose whether you want a text or video response, and the system handles the rest. It wasn’t smooth sailing—I had to debug structure mismatches, rewrite prompts, and work around errors—but that’s part of building something real.
At the end of the day, what we now have is a Delegation Trap Pocket Coach: ask it a question, and it not only answers but can actually speak back to you on video. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s a big step forward. And that’s what excites me—turning all this AI potential into tangible, working tools we can actually use and show to clients.

"Growth isn’t about speed; it’s about direction and consistency."
It’s easy to get caught up in doing more, faster—but real growth comes from small, intentional actions aligned with your values. Every deliberate step, even if it feels slow, compounds over time and shapes the business and life you truly want.
