The Boomer's Guide to Learning AI

The Boomer's Guide to Learning AI

A Layman's No-Nonsense Guide to Quickly Master AI

Listen up. You aren't too old to master AI. You aren't obsolete. And you sure don't need to become a programmer to use it.

Written for regular people — housewives, small business owners, tradesmen, writers, photographers, consultants, retirees, parents, grandparents — anyone feeling a bit nervous about getting left behind. Use AI to write better, think faster, organize projects, build your business, create content, research problems, spot scams, and stand up for yourself in areas of medicine, accounting, and law. Plain English, no nonsense.

You'll learn how to talk to AI, direct it, and use it like a personal assistant, researcher, editor, expert consultant, and problem-solver. AI isn't replacing people who know how to think. It's replacing people too stubborn to learn how to direct it.

For Boomers, Gen Xers, and late adopters who have real life experience in getting things done but no technical knowledge with computers. Accomplish the work of 20+ full-time employees while sitting on your couch in your underpants. It's not too late to cash in on AI.

Also available in: German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Japanese.

Fire Your Film Crew and Use AI

The Complete 2026 Playbook for Solo Filmmakers Using AI

Fire your film crew. Direct your future.

This is the complete 2026 playbook for solo filmmakers using AI. A great prompt cannot save a bad script — and a beautiful clip cannot save a bad film. This book walks you, step by step, from blank page to finished feature you can actually sell.

Section 1: Write the Screenplay With AI. Build magnetic loglines, real characters, and locked production-ready screenplays with ChatGPT and Claude — running an AI writer's room around proven Hollywood frameworks from Save the Cat to The Anatomy of Story.

Section 2: Produce the Film With AI. Cast consistent digital actors with HeyGen. Generate biomechanically accurate motion and physics with Kling AI. Unlock photorealistic long-form sequences with Sora 2. Build worlds with Runway Gen-4.5 and Midjourney. Score and mix with Suno, Udio, and DaVinci Resolve. No crew. No permits. No trucks. Just your laptop and your taste.

Section 3: Copyright and Sell Your Film. Cut trailers that convert. Approach festivals intelligently. Disclose AI use without scaring buyers. Register copyrights, run press, and dub globally with AI agents. Monetize on YouTube, Amazon, branded content, and licensing.

No gatekeepers. No waiting. Your breakthrough starts now.

Avatar Academy — Professional Edition

Avatar Academy: Create Films with AI

Professional Edition — The Complete End-to-End Manual for AI Filmmaking (26 Chapters, One Working Pipeline)

MAKE A FEATURE FILM without a crew. In 2026, the technology to direct, shoot, and finish a feature-length film without an actor, a camera, a crew, or a studio is finally here. Avatar Academy is the first complete production manual for the new AI filmmaking pipeline — a working blueprint for the solo creator with a laptop and a story worth telling.

Across 26 chapters and 75 walk-throughs, the book covers every tool a feature production actually needs: HeyGen for digital actors, ElevenLabs for cloned voices, ChatGPT and Claude for screenwriting, Runway, Sora, Veo, Pika, Luma, Kling for cinematic plates, Midjourney for storyboards, Suno and Udio for original score, Topaz for upscaling, and DaVinci Resolve for finish.

By the end you'll clone your own digital twin, write a 90-page screenplay formatted for avatar performance, render multi-character scenes, score the film with original music, and ship a publishable cut on a single Mac.

A Doctor's Guide to Prescribing Peptides

A Doctor's Guide to Prescribing Peptides

A No-Nonsense Compliance Manual to Safely & Profitably Prescribe Peptides to Your Patients

Peptides are the product patients are already begging you for. GLP-1 prescriptions are up 442%. 30–35% of American adults want peptide therapy. Insurance denies 62% of obesity claims, so patients are flooding cash-pay clinics with their credit cards out.

Any physician with a license and a little business sense can add $250,000 to $1,000,000+ in cash revenue within 12–18 months. The margins are obscene. The overhead is minimal. The product sells itself.

This book is your insurance policy — and your profit blueprint. Clinical protocols that keep patients safe. Documentation that makes board complaints disappear. Pricing and staffing that maximizes profit. 50+ ready-to-use templates, forms, and scripts. Guardrails that protect your license and livelihood.

Buy the book. Count the cash. Sleep soundly.

About the Author

Jim Bock is the CEO of NJ Film Productions Inc. and a Registered Nurse with 20+ years of practice. Before nursing, he was a Wall Street stockbroker and ad agency executive — responsible for launching Hershey Foods' Internet Strategy and 14 Hershey brand websites including Hershey's Kisses, Jolly Rancher, Twizzlers, York Peppermint Pattie, Good & Plenty, Bubble Yum, and PayDay. He also launched Forest Laboratories' Celexa.com, their first billion-dollar medication, supported by more than 1,500 pharma reps.

He came to AI filmmaking out of necessity — replacing the slowest, most expensive parts of production with AI tools, and discovered that a single creator with the right workflow could deliver footage that cuts cleanly into a real feature. The problem was nobody had written down how. So he wrote it down.

Jim jumped head first into AI agents at 65 to build tools, organize data, and create content. He writes for solo creators, indie filmmakers, small teams, and regular people who want to direct technology — not be directed by it.
