Thank you for subscribing, and now reading, my newsletter! It would help me out if you would click on a link (any link will do). This tells Gmail and other programs that we are not spam.

1. Free Professional Photos

Need a professional photo of yourself? Or maybe just a decent photo to use here and there online? AI to the rescue! Retrato will take your selfies and convert them to a professional quality portrait.

And that’s not all. You can select what appears to be hundreds of different styles. While Retrato says it creates professional portraits, some of these styles look more characture-like (think avatar) than business professional. See pic.

The app is free to try and available for both platforms so give it a whirl. Click here.

2. Wake Up to Your Celebrity Alarm

While we all can appreciate a great snooze, the wake-up can sometimes be rocky. Now you can wake up to your favorite celebrity or movie character. In the demo, it’s the voice of Kobe Bryant who says it’s time to wake up, time for your workout and to attack the day with the Mamba mentality. Very much “Kobe inspired.”

But it’s more than just an alarm. It integrates with your calendar, the weather, your email, news, and other apps to keep you informed and ready for your day. And no two alarms are the same. For Apple only right now. Click here. 

3. Your YC Combinator Mentor.

Y Combinator is a startup accelerator launched in 2005 and used to launch more than 4,000 companies, including Airbnb, Coinbase, Cruise, DoorDash, Dropbox, Instacart, Quora, PagerDuty, Reddit, Stripe, and Twitch. It is probably the most well-known and respected startup accelerator.
