Beer With Kyle: Why Am I Designing a Pink Army Tank BBQ?

Hey Everyone,

I’ve got a few exciting updates and ideas to share todad, starting with something light (literally) and then diving into a really fascinating use of AI, a few Wealthy Affiliate updates, and a quick reminder about the Black Friday Rewind deal.

This Week’s Beer

Today’s beer is Corona Cero, which is a 0.0% alcohol version of the classic Corona. The reason I’m going non-alcoholic today? I’m heading out on a two-hour road trip for a quick camping getaway with my family. Safety first.

Honestly, it tastes pretty close to the real thing. If you enjoy Corona and want to skip the alcohol, this is a solid pick.

The Rise of the Creator Economy (With AI)

Now to the good stuff. I want to walk you through a fun example of where I think things are heading in the AI space, and how it’s turning all of us into creators, inventors, and problem-solvers.

A few days ago, I was barbecuing and had a random idea…
What if there was a barbecue shaped like an army tank?

So I jumped into ChatGPT and started brainstorming:

1. Initial Concept – I told it to design an army tank barbecue.
2. Refinement – I asked it to make it more photorealistic.
3. Practical Adjustments – I pointed out design flaws (like not being able to reach the grill) and asked it to fix them.
4. Color Customization – Then I said, "Make it pink." It did.
5. Manufacturing Specs – I asked for a breakdown of the components needed to manufacture it, and ChatGPT gave me a 12-item list and even suggested a folder structure for production.

The wild part? This went from a silly idea to a fully spec'd concept in under an hour—and I’m not a product engineer. AI did all the heavy lifting.

This is just one example, but the broader idea here is we’re entering an era where anyone can build and create things they never could before.

And not just physical products. This also applies to:

• Software
• Content
• Games
• Tools
• Services
• Education
• And beyond

The speed, power, and accessibility of AI is changing everything.

Updates at Wealthy Affiliate

We have a lot happening behind the scenes right now, and I want to give you a quick rundown.

1. Jaaxy Rebuild Launching in August

We’re rebuilding Jaaxy from the ground up. It will be fully integrated within WA instead of being a standalone tool. And yes, QSR is being retired—we don’t believe it provides the same value it once did in today’s AI-driven search landscape.

Expect a more modern, more useful keyword and research platform launching this month.

2. Business Hubs Redesign

The Business Hubs setup is getting a full redesign. It will be much more intuitive, especially for Starter and Premium members setting up their first website and brand.

We’ve gone through a few iterations of Hubs already, but this one is going to be the best yet—by far.

3. New Hosting Infrastructure

Yes, we’ve heard the feedback about intermittent hosting issues. We’re actively building a new hosting environment, currently in testing, that includes:

• The latest PHP version (8.3)
• Better performance
• Enhanced support
• More robust problem-solving at the root level

Hosting is complicated (in particular Wordpress websites). Plugins, themes, versioning make it very much a moving target. But we are continuing to strengthen every layer, and it’s going to show in your experience very soon.

Final Reminder: Black Friday Rewind (Ends Tuesday!)

This is a limited-time deal running until Tuesday at midnight:

• $497/year Premium Plus+ membership (our lowest price ever)
• 60,000 monthly AI credits ($300/month value)

• Lock in this pricing forever

You can find the full post in the Top 10 trending blogs at WA right now. You can get the DEAL here.
