In an economy and a world in which things are changing so rapidly, and ways of making a living suddenly upended, I'm always curious about examples of people who are immune to it.

One is a man I took my two oldest daughters to see last night: 75-year-old Rick Wakeman, who kept us spellbound with his grand piano.

Rick is a legendary wizard at the keys, and best known for his years with Yes. But he's also had a prolific solo career, consisting of over one hundred -- yes, one hundred -- albums of his own.

The English wing of Atlantic records evidently did not like Rick's inaugural effort, The Six Wives of Henry VIII. "Where are the vocals?" they demanded. "It's an instrumental album," he replied. They scowled. But the American wing said: release it.

The English wing suddenly liked it after it sold 10 million copies.

You can't send an AI robot onto a stage and play like Rick Wakeman. People want Rick himself.

So Rick is in good shape.

The rest of us aren't so fortunate, but that doesn't mean we can't also build something lasting that will stand the tests of time and technology.

My business partner, Paul Counts, and I are talking, one hour from now, about building a freedom-based business, how to find customers, how not to be one of the 90% of new businesses that fail, the whole thing.

And we'll be talking about the secret weapon, better than any AI, that gives my readers an unfair advantage.

We start in an hour. Reserve your spot right now, and we'll see you then:
