Three things separate people who win from people who struggle:
They know how to sell. They know how to negotiate. And they know how to grow their money.
Master those three, and almost everything else in life gets easier.
So this week, I brought you the three greatest minds who ever lived in each of those skills and turned them into notebooks you can talk to.
✍️ David Ogilvy — the “Father of Advertising.” The man who wrote the most famous ads in history and cracked the code on words that sell.
🤝 Chris Voss — the FBI’s lead hostage negotiator. The man who negotiated with kidnappers and terrorists, now teaching the world how to win any deal.
📈 Warren Buffett — the greatest investor of all time. The man who turned patience and simple principles into a trillion-dollar empire.
Copy that sells. Deals you win. Money that compounds.
Three legends. One edition.
Welcome to the Grow With AI Expert Notebook Series #4 — the one I’ve been most excited to release.
New here? Here’s how this works.
Every couple of weeks, me and my team build high-value NotebookLM notebooks — loaded with the best sources on one focused topic, configured to respond like a real expert, and given free to every paid subscriber.
No fluff. No generic chatbot answers. Just the actual minds of the greatest people in each field, ready to talk to you.
If you missed the earlier editions, go back and explore them all:
Now — here’s what makes this edition genuinely special.
Each notebook holds 90+ carefully chosen sources.
And I didn’t stop at free content. I bought and added the actual paid books directly into each one:
📕 Ogilvy — 5 complete books worth $90+
🤝 Voss — Never Split the Difference + his full technique library
📈 Buffett — Graham, Fisher, Munger + 60 years of shareholder letters
If you tried to buy every book and watch every hour of this yourself, it would cost you $250+ and hundreds of hours of your life.
Today, every paid subscriber gets all three, free.

The Father of Advertising
100 sources | Books + Ads + Memos + Videos
David Ogilvy is called the Father of Advertising.
He built one of the most successful agencies in history and wrote the ads that defined modern marketing — the Hathaway shirt, Rolls-Royce, Dove, Schweppes.
But his real genius was one thing: writing words that sell. Not clever words. Not funny words. Words that make people buy.
The problem? His wisdom is scattered across five books, decades of memos, and hundreds of campaigns.
So I pulled all of it into one place — and added his five complete paid books:
📕 Ogilvy on Advertising — $18
📗 Ogilvy on Advertising in the Digital Age — $22
📘 Confessions of an Advertising Man — $16
📙 The Unpublished David Ogilvy — $16
🏛️ The King of Madison Avenue — $20
That’s $90+ in books alone, included in full.
What else is inside:
🎥 Videos on his advertising and copywriting principles
✍️ His 16 copywriting rules and legendary memos
📰 Breakdowns of his most famous campaigns
📝 Articles and deep dives from across the internet
Ask it things like:
→ “Write me a headline for my product using Ogilvy’s principles”
→ “How do I write an ad that sells instead of just entertains?”
→ “Rewrite this sales copy the way Ogilvy would: [paste copy]”
→ “What makes a great headline according to Ogilvy?”
💡 Personal tip: Paste your actual copy and ask it to rewrite it Ogilvy-style. You’ll see the difference instantly.
The Art of Negotiation
100 sources | Book + Techniques + Interviews + Case Studies

Audio podcast generated by NotebookLM (Listen to it; very interesting)
Chris Voss was the FBI’s lead international hostage negotiator.
He talked to bank robbers, kidnappers, and terrorists when lives were on the line. He couldn’t compromise. He couldn’t split the difference. He had to win.
Then he brought those exact techniques to the business world.
His book Never Split the Difference has sold over 5 million copies and is taught in MBA programs worldwide.
This notebook contains everything he teaches — so you can win any negotiation, whether it’s a salary, a client deal, a house, or a difficult conversation.
What’s inside:
📕 Never Split the Difference — his complete masterpiece
🎯 Tactical Empathy — how to understand and influence the other side
🪞 Mirroring & Labeling — the techniques that build instant trust
❓ Calibrated Questions — how to make the other side solve your problem
🗣️ Black Swan Group content — his company’s guides and breakdowns
🎥 Interviews, talks, and MasterClass techniques
Ask it things like:
→ “My boss said there’s no budget for a raise — what exactly do I say?”
→ “A client says my price is too high — give me the script to respond”
→ “How do I use tactical empathy to win a negotiation?”
→ “Write me a full script to negotiate my salary up by 20%”
💡 Personal tip: Role-play with it. “Pretend you’re my boss and I’m asking for a raise — negotiate against me.” The best way to prepare before the real thing.
Investment Strategies
100 sources | Letters + Books + Interviews + Frameworks
Warren Buffett — the Oracle of Omaha — is the most successful investor in history.
He built Berkshire Hathaway from a failing textile company into a trillion-dollar empire using a philosophy anyone can learn: buy great businesses, hold them forever, let compounding do the work.
For 60 years he’s written down exactly how he thinks in his famous shareholder letters — clear, honest, and free of jargon.
This notebook contains all of it — so you can think about money and investing like the greatest investor who ever lived.
What’s inside:
📮 Berkshire Shareholder Letters 1965–2024 — 60 years of thinking
📗 The Essays of Warren Buffett — his letters organised by theme
📕 The Intelligent Investor — Benjamin Graham — the book Buffett calls the best ever written
📙 Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits — Philip Fisher
🏛️ Poor Charlie’s Almanack — Charlie Munger
❄️ The Snowball — the definitive biography
🎥 Interviews and annual meeting highlights
Ask it things like:
→ “How do I evaluate whether a business is worth investing in?”
→ “What is margin of safety and how do I use it?”
→ “How should a beginner start investing according to Buffett?”
→ “What does Buffett say about market crashes and fear?”
💡 Personal tip: Ask it to explain a concept simply. “Explain margin of safety like I’m 15.” Buffett’s genius is making the complex simple.
⚠️ This notebook shares Buffett’s publicly documented philosophy for educational purposes. It is not personalised financial advice — always do your own research.
This is just the beginning.
We’re building new notebooks every two weeks — each loaded with the best minds and highest quality sources in their field.
