Welcome to another episode of Weeks Weekly! I'm your host Ed Weeks Jr., and today I'm giving you the most raw, unfiltered update I've ever shared.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

THE WEIGHT LOSS BREAKTHROUGH (2:00) How I dropped 30 pounds in exactly 90 days using the lowest dose of Zepbound, overcoming 20+ years of thyroid issues, and why I'm more motivated than ever to hit 225 by my 55th birthday in October. Plus, the mindset shifts that made walking 4-5 miles daily actually enjoyable.

THE AGENCY APOCALYPSE (10:30) Why I'm officially done with the agency world and why you should be too. The brutal truth about how AI is killing traditional marketing agencies, why "percentage of ad spend" models are dead, and what Meta's 2026 AI marketing platform means for everyone still stuck in the old game.

BUILDING FOR GEN X (16:45) My new mission: helping Gen X small business owners harness AI without the BS. No $5,000 overcharges, no fake "prompt engineering" courses - just real tools, real results, and real assets you can build yourself.

FIFO NATION ORIGINS (20:00) The story behind my upcoming book inspired by Matthew McConaughey's "Green Lights." What FIFO (F*ck It, Press On) means to me, how I learned it in my last college class in 1992, and why that same summer I met my wife Vanessa (who I initially thought was named Veronica!).

THE ZERO MOMENT (25:30) Why being at financial zero right now is actually the most empowering position I've been in, and how clarity of vision matters more than current bank balance.

This episode is for anyone who's tired of the BS, ready for real change, and believes that your best chapters might just be ahead of you - regardless of your age.

Key takeaways:
