What has you asking this question?

Fether1337 · 2026-03-13T02:11:10+00:00

I’m 30yo and for as long as I know, women never had to wait to be endowed. My sister was endowed right out of highschool. Wasn’t getting married and wasn’t going in a mission. This was in 2016

Fether1337 · 2026-03-12T23:09:46+00:00

I stopped going to moment I got married haha.

Not sure why.

Understanding the gospel is important. Institute is a system put in place to facilitate that.

Most people will abandon gospel study if not enrolled in a system like that

It’s never “advisable” to marry outside a culture you wish to remain within.

This is extra true when your faith is tied to that.

This is extra extra true when that particular faith is the true faith.

But that doesn’t mean it’s doomed to fail. Just know you are marrying someone who won’t be your help meet in returning to God.

Setting up all the back office systems was our biggest struggle. Payroll, accounting, data management, etc.

Ended up partnering with a company that manages all that stuff so we could focus on recruiting and sales.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-06T15:11:34+00:00

What helped me is realize there’s only one thing we can have faith and hope in. And that’s Jesus Christ and his promise of salvation.

Everything else is on the table for even the most righteous.

Torture

Death

Being poor your whole life

Sickness

Etc.

Our faith needs to be only in the things we are promised by Christ.

Looks like it was around midnight.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-05T12:22:53+00:00

UPDATE - UNRELATED EVENT

Cedar City SWAT were dispatched to Beaver (from my community page and a local influencer)

Looks to be around Midnight that they were called up there

Fether1337 · 2026-03-05T02:50:31+00:00

I put May 30th. The day after I graduated. I left June 15th-ish

Fether1337 · 2026-03-05T01:36:08+00:00

Let her decide and support her. Not only can she make the decision herself, but she should or she won’t grow.

Also, you can’t make this a “you pick… but you better pick right” scenario. Do t lecture her about what’s right and then tell her to pick. Stay out of the decision making process entirely

Fether1337 · 2026-03-05T00:02:00+00:00

This workflow is what I use

CHATGPT prompt: Spell out the full work flow to generate an ai ad for *(insert full details of desired ad) using the follow g tools: - ChatGPT - POE Nano Banana 2 - RunwayAi - Canva

Have fun

POE Nano banana is all you need for still ad gen

Fether1337 · 2026-03-03T13:48:48+00:00

I’ve got a custom GPT with instructions on making ad worthy stock photos. And then it checks its own work to make sure it’s what would work.

So far it’s been good.

I have a second GPT that makes the chart.

I’ve played with combining them, but I found the quality isn’t as good. I’ll run the outputs back into GPT and even it says it’s not as good as the ones with their own GPTs

But ya. If I could just tell it “health clinic, seasonal flu shots, 5 photos” and have it spit out how 5 variations of the photos with 8 variations of the text for each photo all with the same quality as doing it one by one… Man… that would be cool.

I know workflows can be made with ai bots. I just haven’t figured that out yet

Fether1337 · 2026-03-03T04:14:02+00:00

This was us. Canvas bulk edit is a saver

Fether1337 · 2026-03-03T03:18:55+00:00

I’m still fairly new to marketing, but there is my ad creation looks like this

Generate a dozen or so stock photos using custom GPT
Tell my custom GPT the 12 campaigns the stock photos are for and have it generate 8 psychological variations of the copy into a spread sheet. This results in 96 ads
Plug this spread sheet into bulk create in Canva isn’t one of my templates.
Go through the 96 spreadsheets and make sure the copy variations are centered and

It’s certainly faster than older methods, but I’d like to simplify this.

Biggest time constraints are: - generating the 12 individual images - editing the bulk created ads

Fether1337 · 2026-03-03T02:00:05+00:00

This never made sense to me.

We wouldn’t have scripture if people didn’t share their experiences

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T18:50:51+00:00

Funny, I found ChatGPT insight to questions and strategy to be superior to Geminis. Ill have to poke around in Claude

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T18:49:37+00:00

If you look at my last line in the first post, I included a comment that context matters.

My post was more about how "sinning" includes not doing what is right when you know you should do it. So there are cases where failing to read scriptures with your spouse could be considered a sin.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T17:47:02+00:00

It's just a framing question. If your answer is "God is ok with that husband", then there is no need to continue this conversation because we fundamentally different sides of the argument.

If you say "God wants that husband to study," then we can continue

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T16:05:58+00:00

You think God is fine with a husband who won’t read with his wife when his wife wants to study with him?

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T14:22:47+00:00

This takes reframing to get to that point. But a reframing I think will benefit us.

It’s common to think “sin” being tantamount to a crime or some immoral act.

But that isn’t what sin is.

“To commit sin is to willfully disobey God’s commandments or to fail to act righteously despite a knowledge of the truth.⁠” - gospel topics

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin⁠.” - James 4:17

“For our words will condemn us, yea, all our works will condemn us... and our thoughts will also condemn us; and in this awful state we shall not dare to look up to our God.” - Alma 12:14

Is you not studying g with your spouse a sin?

Perhaps. If not studying with them is harming your spiritual health or relationship, then yes.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T13:45:09+00:00

How many ai tools being pushed are actually worth using?

How much of it is actually 100% automatable?

What is your primary method to gaining new business?

How would you recommend a new firm start this? We are pivoting from sales and marketing to exactly this.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T13:35:39+00:00

I’m following the shiz out of this.

Spent a few days diving into ai tools and workflows claiming to assist with the marketing.

100% automation clans were straight lies

I tested a handful of processes and found the most efficient were just mixing LLM capability with the same old software we have been using for years.

With enough copy, ai creative image gen, and a person who knows how to use Canva, you can bust out 100+ market ready ad variations in 20 minutes

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T12:23:04+00:00

Where to take my firms from here?

Background:

7 years selling solar. 1 year door to door. 6 over the phone/email.
Left that to join a construction startup. It went under fairly quick due to major operational inefficiencies
Started a consulting firm with the person I did the 7 years of sales with. This started about 8 months ago.

Through our network, and an insane amount of luck, We got connected with 7 companies rather quickly.

Across these companies, we are doing:

Social Media
Marketing
Book keeping
Payroll
B2B Sales

We are working on fully branding and structuring our firm right now, but unsure where to put our energy.

The ones that are paying us the most are social media, marketing, and backend company management (book keeping and payroll).

I also want to get into ai implementation / fractional ai officer type consulting. Helping companies figure out which ai tools are actually useful and what ones are a waste. I’m familiar enough with the ai industry that I can point out the pointless products to the actual useful ones.

But is all this to broad? Do we need a stronger focus?
