Hey everyone, Mike here – back in the cozy chaos of Chiang Mai after an absolute whirlwind trip to Phuket and a quick pit stop in Bangkok. The Cross Border Summit's Cross Border Mastermind was straight fire – just under 10 powerhouse ecommerce sellers, all battle-tested, diving deep into strategies, swapping war stories, and squeezing in some epic adventures (yacht talks and beach brainstorms, anyone?). If you missed it, don't sleep on next year's – mark Nov 3-10, 2026, for Phuket 2.0. We've got the venue locked, and it's gonna level up even more.But now? Ahh, sweet relief. No planes, no pitches – just me, my Nespresso, and the grind I actually crave. This week is all about recharging the batteries and doubling down on what lights me up: building community ecosystems that scale globally. More on that below, but first, let's check in with the dream team holding down the forts.

We just wrapped the 7th annual Cross Border Summit here in Chiang Mai, Thailand (Nov 3-5), and wow - what a ride! This year's theme was Ignition - all about sparking that fire and taking massive action in your cross-border business. From the moment people landed, we made sure every minute counted.

It's the post-Cross Border Summit week! I'm currently on a yacht in Phuket at the Cross Border Mastermind with about 10 high-level sellers, going through all the amazing learnings and networking from the summit.

Hey everyone, Mike here kicking off November with some serious momentum. As we roll into Nov 2-8, 2025, it's all about Bracing for IGNITION. This week is the culmination of nearly a year of hustle—the annual Cross Border Summit is here, and it's going to be all hands on deck. We're talking summits, masterminds, VIP villas, yacht vibes, and a whole lot of beautiful insanity. This is prime time to level up, connect deep with the crew, and charge into the end of the year fired up. I'm beyond excited to do this with everyone showing up and diving in full throttle.

This is the last

Hey everyone, Mike here with your weekly dive into the chaos and excitement of building in the cross-border world. This week's footage pulls from my recent garden chat with Peter on the podcast—those unscripted moments under the trees where we geeked out on scaling businesses with AI. If you haven't caught it, it's a gem for anyone feeling the pull of this tech revolution. Let's jump in.

Hey everyone, Mike here—or should I say, my AI avatar stepping in while I'm deep in the zone. The current date is October 10, 2025, but we're looking ahead to this coming week: October 12 through 18. Just back to the grind of 15+ hours a day of learning to, and executing, on development with AI. Talking to some friends about where we are and this is a massive turning point—like when I closed my office in China and the Philippines and had everyone work online 13 years ago. This is a bigger shift. Heck, this is my AI avatar talking to you as I am vibe coding most likely.
