- [About](https://rickyschay.com/about/)

Hi and thanks for reading more about me! My name is Ricky. I live in California. My Story Through most of my 20’s, I have been fortunate enough to be a freelance video producer. I noticed every opportunity I was landing came from making personal connections. I had a very good process for networking. From making the first connection memorable, efficiently managing that information, to following up and closing the deal. A classic sales process right? But there wasn’t a user-friendly platform enabling me to do this. It was done the archaic way. So I created my own process. After traveling across the world, meeting people on the go, and building up my network, I knew there had to be a better way for our culture to share their information and manage the connections they made along the way. Thus birthed Pulse. An easier way to connect, share, create, and follow up with like-minded people for productive relationships.

- [Xeela: The Transformation Begins](https://rickyschay.com/xeela-transformation/) 2025-05-28

I have to keep this under wraps for a bit, but I was chosen to participate in a health transformation documentary for Xeela Fitness. Table of Contents ToggleTimelineThe TransformationMy TherapyConclusion Timeline This will most likely be a 12-month journey.  While we’re still in production, I can’t talk about/show everything yet, but having this opportunity inspired me to film behind-the-scenes content and other aspects of my life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ricky (@rickyschay) The Transformation I think what I want to document, what I want to share, what I want to journal to everyone is just transformation. I’m talking about transformation in my health, in my career, and in my relationships.  The hypothesis is that by transforming my health, I might see a direct correlation to other areas of my life improving. My Therapy I’ve realized that creating is my therapy, and I need to get out of my own head about what anyone else will think. I’m finally getting there.  I’m going to try to document as much as I can on this journey. If anyone else finds inspiration from this, that’s a bonus in my book. Conclusion Thank you to Ilya and his team for believing in me and contributing to a life-changing experience. This is the beginning of the whole transformation process.

- [100 Days of AI Decisions](https://rickyschay.com/100-days/) 2025-05-22

Let’s address the elephant in the room. Artificial intelligence is taking over, but what if we used it to actually make ourselves better? I gave myself a challenge. For the next 100 days, Butterfly by DAIN makes one decision for me every single day. My bet? By the end of it, I’ll be more focused, disciplined, healthier, and happier. The Twist Here’s the BIG twist. I didn’t just ask it random questions. I told it everything: my past relationships, my divorce, my vices, my bad habits, my goals, my fears, my obsession with productivity, and yes, even my fear of group chats. I made AI my therapist, and now it’s carving a path forward—one decision at a time. The Experiment So here we go. A hundred days, a hundred AI decisions. Can artificial intelligence actually improve a real human life? Time to find out. Enjoyed this? Follow me on Instagram, YouTube, or Patron View for more insights.
- [Butterfly: The Ultimate AI Personal Assistant](https://rickyschay.com/butterfly/) 2025-01-17

In today’s world of endless AI tools and digital assistants, finding one that truly delivers on its promises can feel impossible. After testing various AI assistants, I’ve found that Butterfly is the solution that actually goes the distance. Continue reading to know why. Table of Contents ToggleIt’s Not Just SmartIt Replaces 10 AppsProactiveConclusion It’s Not Just Smart Butterfly is not just smart, it gets things done. Most AI tools answer questions or provide suggestions, but Butterfly goes beyond that. It takes action for you. Here are a few examples of what it can do: Need a sandwich from Jersey Mike’s? Order on the way. Want tickets to the NFL playoff game? Purchased. Meeting follow-ups? Organized and prioritized. Butterfly doesn’t just remind you about tasks for YOU to still do, it simply works on your behalf. The purpose of utilizing this technology isn’t about “smart” notifications, but actually producing results. It Replaces 10 Apps This is the the real meaning of 10X. We juggle many apps for daily tasks: food delivery, rideshares, note-taking, travel booking, and more. Butterfly combines these functions into a single app AND DOES IT FOR YOU. The result? Less time switching between apps, more time focusing on what matters. Proactive Butterfly anticipates your needs. Your flight tomorrow has been delayed. Here are alternate options. You have 30 minutes free. Should I recommend a podcast episode or the latest episode of your favorite show? Your Spotify subscription renews tomorrow. Should I confirm or remind you to cancel? Your LinkedIn post about AI is performing well. Better yet, I drafted a follow up post for you to approve. It’s not waiting for you to ask, it’s already working for you. Conclusion While tools like ChatGPT are great for brainstorming and generating ideas, they’re limited when it comes to execution. It can’t even order you pizza. Butterfly is different—it’s practical. It doesn’t just tell you what to do; it does it for you. Yes, including ordering the pizza. The Butterfly effect is real and now it’s in your pocket. Grab early access to butterfly here.
