DanMaLLMind

juL 31 2025

For the past few months, I’ve been quietly building something I’ve wanted for years:

A way for people to tap into my thinking—without waiting on me.

No need to book time with me, wait for a reply, or schedule anything at all.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been training a system to think the way I do: how I review design, critique strategy, approach pricing, coach freelancers and agency owners, and more. It’s built on a million words from hundreds of sources: my articles, talks, interviews, templates, and lessons from the last 20+ years. It offers answers that reflect a decent fraction of how I actually think through problems.

You can ask it anything you’d normally ask me:

  • “Can you review this proposal draft?”

  • “What’s wrong with this landing page?”

  • “How should I respond to this client email?”

  • “What would Dan say about this pricing model?”

And you’ll get clear, direct answers… any time of day.

I’m calling it DanMaLLMind.

(Okay, the name’s still in beta.)

You can chat with it via text or voice.

(There’s a video mode too, but it’s… buggy. And a little uncanny. I’m holding off on that one.)

Please keep this private

This is just for Dan Mall Shares premium subscribers and Make More Money students. No signup. No upsell. You already have access.

While you’re welcome to talk about this publicly—you’re always welcome to brag about your exclusive access to anything here—please don’t share the link publicly or forward it around.

Keeping it limited lets me keep it personal, responsive, and useful without having to limit access or over-engineer the experience.

Thanks for helping me keep this a space that works well for all of us.

Why I built this

This is a grand experiment.

Not because I think I’m replaceable, but because I want to see what happens when you can tap into my frameworks, experience, and instincts anytime you need clarity.

If it works, it means:

  • I can support you more consistently and asynchronously

  • You don’t have to wait on me to get unstuck

  • And we can both move faster

On a deeper level: I’ve felt my memory fading.

Not in a scary way—although sometimes—but just the normal erosion of feeling like I have too many thoughts and not enough places to keep them. When old friends recall stories I don’t remember at all, it guts me to think those moments might be gone for good.

That’s part of why I’ve always been drawn to archiving: blogging, journaling, writing everything down.

This is another step in that direction. A way to preserve and extend the parts of my thinking that others might find useful… and that I might want to revisit myself.

What to try first

If you do want to give it a try, here are a few prompts to get you started:

  • Upload a proposal you’re unsure about

  • Describe a business or client problem you’re stuck on

  • Ask how I’d approach something you’re procrastinating

  • Ask it to rewrite your professional bio or only-ness statement

What’s surprised me most is that I’ve been using it too. It—I?—helps me write, think through topics, talks me out of and through creative ruts. It acts like a mirror. There’s a psychological effect called Solomon’s Paradox, where we give better advice to others than to ourselves. Using DanMaLLMind has triggered that effect for me more than once.

If it helps me counsel myself better, I’m hoping it can help you too.

A few things to keep in mind

  • This isn’t actually me.

  • It’ll probably get things wrong.

  • It might give you advice I wouldn’t give.

  • If it tells you to fire a client and go touch grass… honestly, that might still be a solid suggestion.

Use your good judgment. Think of this as a trained version of my past work, not a substitute for a real conversation with me.

Pro tip: use it to prep before you talk to me. Get clarity on the rough stuff so we can tackle the deeper problems faster when we do connect.

Thanks again for being a premium Dan Mall Shares member. I hope DanMaLLMind—the name’s growing on you, isn’t it?—becomes one of the most useful tools in your creative and business arsenal.

Try it. Use it. Then tell me how you’re using it.

What’s helpful? What’s weird? What’s missing?

I want this to be a tool that evolves with you, and because of you.

If it helps you get clarity, move faster, or avoid second-guessing, I consider that a win. And I hope you will too.
