The Maker Letter ·

I pretty much deleted Modern Maker 👀

I've enjoyed a bit of old school caveman mode.

As in...

Hoodie up. Cold outside. Crunched above laptop. Building. While listening to some "Living For The City", by Stevie Wonder.

I was having an email exchange with JP, a Modern Maker legend and copywriter who said I was "an old soul" (because I love my oldie tunes). And I'm not gonna lie, that hit a home run. Because the theme of 2026 is: SIMPLIFY.

Back to basics. Pen. Paper. 1970s rock. Less is more. 1 offer.

So in Q4 last year, I sunsetted 54 workshops.

Recently inside Modern Maker I also made it a 3-step process.

Yes 3! Absolutely nuts.

my 5-year old doodles are kewl

Where each step is Ai-assisted, so there's very little to watch and a whole lot more to DO. I have a love & hate relationship with tech, as I coded for way too long (https://open.substack.com/pub/mostmojo/p/nothing-is-wrong-with-the-tools-something).

In fact, students like A.K, have said:

I've never felt such catharsis flow through my body.

I realized owning 1 productized offer is what got me this far.

So what happens when I literally give away the plan for peanuts.

And sell the implementation to a percentage of folks who want to be in the fast lane?

That's how I ran business for 10+ years as a software engineer too.

So Modern Maker has become a "1 Post A Day" productized system.

Which now makes me a proud Offer Owner.

The frontend components are sold for up to $200 on the front end.

I've hit the play button on some low cost ads, and it takes care of itself, while being supplemented with organic reach from LinkedIn.

And 4 little automated emails ascend about 11%-ish of those customers into clients.

All I have to do is post once a day.

It's wild how much leverage you can get to LIVE when you become an Offer Owner.

The crazy bit is that Offer Ownership is right under your nose.

You're doing it anyway, you just have to package it.

Once you see it, it's permanently tattooed in your brain.

That's what I'll be running some folks through this time around inside Modern Maker.

You also get lifetime access to 5 Ai-powered tools, which we'll use in real time to extract your genius and make you an offer owner in 60 minutes or less.

The same way we "FREEZE" time when recording a video and watch it whenever we want...

We freeze your WISDOM, and turn your genius into OWNERSHIP.

Ownership that gets you PAID.

I can't tell you how excited I am for this chapter.

You can probably tell.

Because what used to take upwards of 30-50+ days, now takes less than a few minutes.

If you'd like to be the first to know, before Monday when the doors to Modern Maker will open officially for a few days, reply " EARLY " and I'll send you the deets. Spots will be capped.

Your biggest fan,

oh look, a hooman!
