You Can't Automate Good Judgement

AI promises speed and efficiency, but it’s leaving many leaders feeling more overwhelmed than ever.

The real problem isn’t technology.

It’s the pressure to do more with less — without losing what makes your leadership effective.

BELAY created the free resource 5 Traits AI Can’t Replace & Why They Matter More Than Ever to help leaders pinpoint where AI can help and where human judgment is still essential.

At BELAY, we help leaders accomplish more by matching them with top-tier, U.S.-based Executive Assistants who bring the discernment, foresight, and relational intelligence that AI can’t replicate.

That way, you can focus on vision. Not systems.

🥇 Amazon Dethroned Walmart in Annual Revenue For the First Time

Good news for Alexa’s parent. Amazon has dethroned Walmart as the company with the largest annual revenue for the first time. While the shuffle is largely symbolic, it exacerbates the retail rivalry between the companies, particularly as Walmart copies Amazon’s alternate revenue stream playbook with marketplace advertising.

🇮🇳 OpenAI Goes Big on India

100 million weekly ChatGPT users in India, and OpenAI wants more. They’re partnering on data centers, rolling out ChatGPT Enterprise, handing out 100k Edu licenses, and opening new offices. This is a land grab.

💰 OpenAI is Nearing a Deal to Raise $100Bn+ at $850Bn+ Valuation

ChatGPT is getting deeper pockets. OpenAI is reportedly finalizing a deal to raise more than $100 billion at a valuation that could exceed $850 billion. The deal comes as the AI leader burns through cash as it inches toward profitability.

📸 Small brands get big budget photos with Google AI

Google Labs has launched a new Photoshoot feature inside its Pomelli marketing platform. Users can upload a simple product image, even one taken on a phone, and the tool recreates it with studio-style lighting, styled backgrounds, and polished composition. It can add marble counters, cozy interiors, or clean gradients, refine shadows and textures, and apply ad-ready templates.

AI Tutorial

📸 Turn product photos into scroll-stopping videos

In this guide, you'll learn how to turn a product photo into a cinematic clip ready for social media using Runway's video generation tool. This method excels at creating consistent clips that are ready for ad campaigns and product announcements.

Step-by-step:

1. Grab a product photo first — Runway will use it for the start frame. Don’t have a product? Use a software mockup or ask Gemini to generate one for the brand

2. Drop the photo into any AI, prompting: "Write me a brief video prompt to use in Runway to generate a social media video based on this product photo. Add animations and/or camera movement if applicable"

3. Next, go to Runway > Tool > Video and add your starting frame and the AI-generated prompt

4. Rinse and repeat for the rest of your product photos. Try different combinations of text overlay and music when you post them to socials

Here’s an un-boring way to invest that billionaires have quietly leveraged for decades

If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capital…

Ever invest in something you know will have low returns—just for the sake of diversifying?

CDs… Bonds… REITs… :(

Sure, these “boring” investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:

It’s been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.

It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*

It’s not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, it’s postwar and contemporary art.

And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.

• 23 exits to date

• $1,245,000,000+ invested

• Annualized net returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%

My subscribers can SKIP their waitlist and invest in blue-chip art.
