After research showed his prior “The Great Discovery” effort could not scale community support, he adopted the Grow with Google Suite and an AI audio video podcast pipeline using Gemini and Notebook LM. He positions himself as an “AI Consumer Reporter” combining AI production with real-world human curation, while relying on small local networking costs like a small local media ad and a $50 Toastmasters membership. He also builds a dual model with a for-profit AI super-campus and a 501C3 Senior AI Forum, enabling potential up to $120,000 in Google ad grants.
