AI could turn $10,000 into $1M in the next few years? – here’s how

Artificial Intelligence is being called the next $100 trillion industry—and early investors could have a rare chance to profit.

Renowned investor, James Altucher, believes AI will be the biggest financial opportunity of the decade. He has a history of making accurate predictions about emerging technologies, and his latest focus is on AI.

Altucher claims that a $10,000 investment in the right AI stocks could turn into $1 million or more in the coming years.

But this opportunity won’t last forever. He predicts that the window to get in on these AI investments will end very soon— and in this video explains how everyday investors can take advantage of this “wealth window” before it’s too late.

Plus, he’s also revealing one of his top AI stock picks for free. Don’t miss this chance to get in early on what could be the biggest tech revolution yet.

THIS WEEK’S BIZ QUIZ:

Which company, initially created to help a young man improve his dating prospects, evolved into a platform that influences global fashion trends?

Answer at the bottom of the newsletter.

STAYIN’ ALIVE (CLIENT SUCCESS):

EDITOR’S NOTE:

I’ve served as a consultant to this fine organization, and while their primary market is the LGBTQ+ community, I discovered that the problems faced by the LGBTQ+ community are shared by millions of women from all over the world.

This service, while marketed toward the LGBTQ+ community has the sensitivity and professionalism to support women who feel unsafe going to local doctors, so as you read the article (which originally appeared in yesterday’s PrideNomad Letter) consider two things:

  1. How you can benefit from this service and

  2. How you can take a product or service and reimagine it for a different marketplace.

Here’s the article:

LGBTQ+ Healthcare Without the Hassle: A Game-Changer Has Arrived

Let’s talk about something no one likes dealing with: healthcare.

It’s messy, frustrating, and for way too many members of the LGBTQ+ community, it can be downright uncomfortable—especially when your doctor doesn’t relate to you.

Whether it’s the side-eye at the clinic, awkward silence after you mention your partner, or a clueless response to your actual needs, finding affirming care can feel impossible.

Enter EqualityMD, a service that says, “Enough already!”

Why This Matters (No Matter Where You Are)

Globally, the LGBTQ+ community faces a ton of barriers. Discrimination? Check. Lack of understanding? Double check. And let’s not even start on the whole “I’m just not going to the doctor” thing because it’s easier than dealing with judgment.

In the U.S., the numbers are grim:

•    1 in 3 LGBTQ+ patients has faced discrimination in healthcare.

•    1 in 4 avoids care entirely—because who wants to explain themselves to someone who just doesn’t understand or respect us?

Sound familiar? Yeah, it’s a problem. A big one.

Enter Justin Ayars and EqualityMD.

Justin is a former healthcare trial attorney turned serial entrepreneur who lives in Richmond, Virginia. Not long ago, he was denied care by a dermatologist who refused to complete a standard physical exam after learning that Justin is gay.

After that visit, Justin did some research and was outraged when he learned how extensive discrimination is within the US healthcare system and how it’s plagued LGBTQ+ Americans (and women!) for generations. So, as a serial entrepreneur, he decided to do something about it.

He and his team created EqualityMD to help LGBTQ+ Americans find and receive culturally competent care on a secure telehealth platform (it’s available to Americans only at the moment).

The company’s national network of providers have all had LGBTQ+ training. They create safe digital spaces where LGBTQ+ patients can be their authentic selves and receive the care they deserve with dignity and respect.

This isn’t your average telehealth platform—it’s a lifeline for LGBTQ+ folks who are tired of the hassle.

Here’s what you get:

•    36 telehealth visits a year: Primary care, mental health sessions, and urgent care—without judgment.     

•    Medication access made easy: PrEP? Covered. Prescriptions? Delivered. No hidden fees, no extra hoops. Yep—they even include most of your meds!     

•    Doctors who get it: Every provider goes through LGBTQ+ cultural competency training, so they actually want to see you and they understand you.

Oh, and here’s the kicker: NO INSURANCE NEEDED! For a lot of folks, that’s a game-changer.

A staggering 60% of LGBTQ+ Americans are uninsured or under-insured.

For those who have insurance, EqualityMD is an ideal safety net that helps you out (and saves you money) when you don’t want to see your assigned in-network provider who just doesn’t get you, or when your insurance plan doesn’t cover medical visits or medications you need.

Why This is a Big Deal for PrideNomads (and Women!)

Whether you’re U.S.-based or a globe-trotting nomad, healthcare stress is universal. For Americans traveling abroad, EqualityMD has your back—telehealth works wherever you are.

But beyond that, this is the kind of system we should all be demanding, no matter where we live.

Imagine a world where healthcare isn’t scary, judgmental, or confusing. That’s what EqualityMD is building. And honestly? It’s about time.

And they’re doing it for just $79 a month!

The Bottom Line

EqualityMD is a win for LGBTQ+ health. Even if you’re not in the U.S., it’s proof that better care is possible. For our American PrideNomads, it’s your chance to take healthcare headaches off your list.

If you’re tired of feeling like a second-class citizen at the doctor’s office, this might just be the solution you didn’t know you needed.

STRATEGIC THINKING:

Economic Shifts Ahead: Why Now is the Time to Lead

The incoming administration’s potential trade policies, including new tariffs, could bring higher costs and economic uncertainty. For entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, consultants, and small investors, this creates both challenges and opportunities. The key to thriving isn’t to shrink back—it’s to step up. This is your moment to lead, connect, and innovate.

Here’s how to adapt and lead in uncertain times.

1. Take the Lead with Confidence

When fear and uncertainty grip the market, people look for guidance. As entrepreneurs and thought leaders, we have an obligation to step into that role.

How to act now:

• Host conversations: Create webinars, workshops, or virtual events to provide insights and solutions for your audience’s most pressing concerns.

• Be bold: Share your vision for how your clients or audience can navigate these changes successfully, positioning yourself as a trusted authority.

Leadership isn’t just about offering solutions—it’s about showing up when others don’t.

2. Streamline and Optimize Operations

Efficiency is your best defense against rising costs. By adopting smarter systems and automating repetitive tasks, you can reduce waste and focus on high-impact activities.

What to implement now:

AI-powered tools: Use automation for email marketing, lead generation, customer support, and even scheduling. Tools like ZenWare AI Bots can free up your time for strategic work.

Simplify workflows: Audit your daily operations. Are there steps or tools that no longer add value? Streamline or eliminate them to save time and resources.

Automation isn’t about replacing people—it’s about enabling you and your team to focus on what matters most.

3. Build Deep, Quality Connections

In tough times, trust is currency. Instead of casting a wide net, focus on building deeper connections with your existing clients, audience, and network.

How to strengthen relationships:

• Be available: Respond to inquiries personally when possible and listen closely to your audience’s concerns.

• Offer value without strings: Create free or low-cost resources that solve immediate pain points. When you give generously, your audience will remember.

The goal is to position yourself as indispensable, not just visible.

4. Reimagine Your Offers

Consumers may be more cautious with spending, but they’re still investing in what they value. The key is to show them why your services are a “must-have” and not a “nice-to-have.”

What to do now:

Focus on ROI: Emphasize the results your clients can expect. For example, if your coaching helps someone land more clients, highlight the income they’ll gain as a result.

Tiered options: Introduce entry-level offers or flexible payment plans for those hesitant to make large commitments upfront.

5. Stay Visible and Present

Visibility and leadership go hand in hand. When others are pulling back, your presence will help you stand out.

How to lead by being present:

• Regularly share valuable content through newsletters, social media, or video.

• Focus on platforms where your audience already engages with you.

People trust and follow those who are steady and present, even in uncertain times.

By embracing these strategies, you won’t just weather economic challenges—you’ll position yourself as a leader and innovator. This is your time to streamline, automate, and deeply connect with your audience. The businesses that thrive in turbulent times are those that lead boldly and adapt quickly. Let that be you.
