    Upscrolled. - The app that's been the new refuge for frustrated Tiktok Creators.

    Let’s go here first. I’m not saying to download the app. I am only saying…it’s a fresh - very much so still in the EARLY ADOPTER PHASE. When a platform feels unstable, creators don’t wait for proof.They move on a feeling. And that feeling is, “I’m tired of building on land I don’t control.” UpScrolled already had the right positioning for that moment: “impartial,” “no shadowbans,” “fair chance to be seen.” So it matched the emotional demand instantly. That’s why any “new” app can jump fast.Not because it’s better. Because it represents relief. So there were about 41,000 downloads between Thursday and Saturday (Jan 22–24, 2026), which TechCrunch says is nearly one-third of its lifetime installs. The app's no-shadowban, anti-algorithm pitch resonated, causing servers to crash from overload. The app was experience slow growth…it’s like a mixture of Instagram and Tiktok all in one. But I want to be clear, switching apps is not a strategy. It’s a reaction. This is why you have to have the RIGHT intention. If your income depends on one algorithm, you are always one update away from panic. Focus more on global reach and leading people to one major place that drives people through a funneled flow of your sacred knowledge… Pick ONE place you own. Newsletter. Email list. Community. Even a simple website. Then use every platform as a traffic source, not a home. If UpScrolled is the wave, cool. Ride it. But don’t build your whole house on it. On Bluesky, UpScrolled posted: "You showed up so fast our servers tapped out," acknowledging the overload while assuring users they're "scaling on keep up." But I love how they’ve rolled their sleeves up and got right to work over the influx. It’s lowkey attractive…lmao! (This is not saying I want them…like goodness, I’m talking about the PRINCIPLE.)

Now, if you do get on there - please note…it is not for the week…Just think of it as “X” on the OPPOSITE SIDE…which means, if X are bullies and “far right” lingo…just think far LEFT and well…you know. I’m neutral and right in the middle because I know it’s a game. What do I do? I teach women how to monetize their content with strong writing and simple AI systems. I do this through cohorts, workshops, and digital products. Anyway, we aren’t missing anymore adopter phases… We’re going on! xo Jai Check out the updated article and my take regarding Kim Kardashian’s masterclass: ↓ This is a public episode.

    Substack TV just launched in Beta: Youtube has a new opponent?

    Listen, Substack is screaming to everybody that they’re playing the game too! I love to see it. I love ittt! Nothing puts me in a good ol’ mood than to see men duke it out over corporate and business competition. It’s such a turn on…not like, erotically but - well, anyway…let me keep typing. Lmaooo Substack TV just launched in beta. It’s a new app for Apple TV and Google TV. This is a big chance for creators like us.​ I am so excited for this. I’ve been telling people for almost a year now - you are a media company now. We are in the algorithmic discovery era. Substack, is more of your premium crowd. They are your exclusive market….why? Because they don’t just always gawk, they invest in themselves. It’s time for us to take advantage of this space and lean in. Why Jump In Now?? We need to step into this fast. Big platforms like YouTube and Instagram control what we see with ads and tricky rules. Substack TV lets us own our videos and fans. No middleman (yet). Your paid readers watch right on their TVs. This builds real money, communities and loyal fans. Wait too long, and others grab the spots first. The Digital LeadHer: From the Desk of Jai Butler is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Who Gets Beta Access First Top creators get in first. Substack picks ones with lots of video views and paid subs. They start small to test out everything, before a complete roll out. If you post videos on Substack now, you might get picked soon. It’s invite-only at launch.​ You’ve got to build relationships. You’ve got to build community. You’ve got to simply lean in to what works. People don’t realize that the world is up for grabs. Who’s moving, who’s shaking…and who’s standing still? I hope you’re moving and not shaking…and for Pete’s sake - don’t stand still. xo - Coach Jai This is a public episode.

    It's Time to Build Your "2nd Brain" with AI

    This video was sooooo good! It’s long BUT GOOD. 2026 is really that year. Your mind needs to be documented. And I know that there are many concerns about people taking your thoughts and mind, but to be honest - we really need to focus more on what we’re leaving behind and a part of that should be our intellectual property. We have to go on. Also, be sure you think about joining our paid community because between now and the end of February, I’ll be setting up office hours for the paid subscribers only. [Join us on 1.26.2026 for the Soul-Stackers Writing Intensive! My 6-week Group Intensive for creators, consultants and writers who want to the move the world with their writing and teachings!] As you can see, I’m already working on mine…I am migrating Clickup to Notion and I’ve upgraded to Notion AI, so that we can build from there. Yes, you are reading that correctly. I’m building my OWN “GPT”. I’m not playing with yall. This is it…everything has to happen THIS year. The world is in a dingaling battle over stuff that’s freely available…and you’re around here battling imposter syndrome. No sir and no ma’am. Let’s do a JaiGPT if I may…because, period.🤣 That way you can spend more time building your knowledge base and not sit and argue with ChatGPT all day. A second brain is a digital system for capturing, organizing, and retrieving information outside your head so you can think more clearly and creatively. It acts like an external hard drive for your life and work, holding ideas, notes, tasks, and resources in one trusted place. Personal knowledge systems improve critical thinking and decision‑making by giving you a living archive of what you’ve learned and observed. The Digital LeadHer: From the Desk of Jai Butler is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. The CODE method is a four-step workflow for turning what you consume into usable ideas inside your second brain: Capture, Organize, Distill, Express. * Capture means quickly saving ideas, quotes, links, and notes that resonate with you so they are not lost. * Organize is about putting those captured notes where you’ll see them again in the context of projects, areas, or actions, not by abstract topics alone. * Distill means summarizing notes down to their essence so you can grasp the core insight at a glance later. * Techniques like highlighting, bolding, and short summaries at the top of a note help surface the most important 10–20% of information…! How to start building your “2nd Brain”?? By capturing only the information that’s closest to your current goals and problems, not everything you see.

Only refinement, but you’re equipped! Leave a comment and let me know what you think about this video…! I believe in you!

    Intuition vs. Pattern Recognition: What they REALLY want you to use.

    There is a big difference between intuition and just recognizing patterns on a screen. AI can see the past, but only you have the foresight to see what hasn't even happened yet. Pattern Recognition…What it is: The cognitive ability to detect recurring signals, structures, or relationships based on prior exposure, data, or experience. How it works: * Built through repetition and evidence * Relies on memory, comparison, and learned frameworks * Often explainable after the fact Intuition…What it is: A rapid, embodied judgment that integrates emotion, context, subconscious processing, and lived experience, often without conscious reasoning. How it works: * Operates below conscious awareness * Synthesizes incomplete or ambiguous information * Often felt as a “knowing” before logic appears .Pattern recognition is what you learn by seeing the same things happen again and again. Your brain remembers these lessons. Intuition is what your body feels from past experiences, even before your brain explains it. It’s time to get your psychology together and stop fearing the evolution of your own species.
