Which part of your life are you tired of carrying alone?

A problem can look small when you describe it in one sentence and still occupy your mind all day.

Maybe you keep opening the same app, checking the same balance, replaying the same conversation, staring at the same analytics, or promising yourself that tomorrow will be different.

See whether you recognize yourself here — and what we do about it inside the Family.

Money

You are stressed about money even when you have income.

You have debt, a negative net worth, inconsistent earnings, a job you hate, a business that is not paying you, or a pile of bills you do not want to look at. You keep thinking one lucky investment, one viral video, one new client, or one big break will rescue you.

You need clarity before you need another opportunity.

Inside the Family: bring your real numbers to a weekly call and we separate the math from the shame, then choose one clear next step.

Crypto

Your crypto is more complicated than it needs to be.

You have too many coins, too many wallets, too many tabs, too many opinions, and no simple plan. You are afraid you missed the next Bitcoin. You are unsure whether to consolidate, stake, hold, sell, move funds off an exchange, set up the Network Nervous System, use OISY, or prepare instructions for your family.

Maybe you cannot even remember how to access a wallet you created years ago.

Inside the Family: screen share your exact setup and we simplify it together — wallets, exchanges, NNS staking, OISY, and a plan you can explain in plain English.

YouTube and content

Your channel feels dead, confused, or exhausting.

You do not know what to post next. Your views fell. Your subscribers do not care about your new topic. You went viral for the wrong thing. You are trying to choose between Shorts, long videos, livestreams, Twitch, TikTok, and six other platforms. You want to make money, but you do not want your entire life to become content.

Maybe you have already been banned, demonetized, canceled, or burned out.

Inside the Family: get a live channel review from me — titles, thumbnails, retention, strategy, and whether the channel is even pointed at the life you want.

AI

You know AI is powerful and still feel like you are missing it.

You pay for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another tool, but most of what you get is generic. You have a folder full of prompts and no reliable workflow. You want AI to help with your website, business, videos, writing, research, game, or repetitive work, but you are not sure how to turn an idea into something that actually works.

Inside the Family: we map your workflow from spoken idea to finished result, debug what the AI built, and simplify it so you can run it again.

Health and weight

You know what you should do and cannot make it last.

You have lost weight and gained it back. You eat well all day and lose control at night. You have tried diets, calorie tracking, coaches, programs, supplements, or extreme rules. You are tired of feeling uncomfortable in your body and even more tired of starting over.

You do not need more shame. You need a system you can live with and people who notice whether you follow it.

Inside the Family: an honest weekly loop with people who notice whether you followed the plan — and a way back after a bad day instead of a bad month.

Sobriety and escape

You stopped one addiction and another one took its place.

Alcohol became food. Gambling became crypto. Gaming became scrolling. Drugs became work. Porn became dating apps. One form of escape disappeared and another one quietly moved in.

Or you are newly sober and wondering how life is ever going to be fun again.

Inside the Family: a place to tell the truth about the escape before it grows, with people building lives they do not need to escape from.

Dating and relationships

You are lonely, confused, rejected, or settling.

You are swiping too much, getting ghosted, overthinking messages, attracting people you do not want, chasing people who do not want you, staying in a relationship that is not right, or wondering where compatible people even exist in real life.

You want a good relationship, but the process of finding or building one is making you miserable.

Inside the Family: direct feedback on your profile, messages, and decisions before you send the text, spend the money, or spiral alone for two days.

Divorce and starting over

Your old life ended before your new life was ready.

The house feels different. Your calendar feels empty. Your identity is gone. You are learning to co-parent, live alone, date again, divide time, handle grief, and build routines without the person who used to be part of every decision.

People tell you that you will be fine. You need somewhere you can tell the truth about the days when you are not.

Inside the Family: somewhere to bring the real week, every week, while the new life slowly becomes normal.

Business

You have skills and no clean offer.

Your website is confusing. Your audience does not know what to buy. You are paying for too many tools. You have a course nobody finishes, a service nobody understands, or a content strategy disconnected from income. You want to make money without selling your soul or trapping yourself in work you hate.

Inside the Family: we read your website like a customer, explain your offer in one sentence, and cut what drains you.

Books and legacy

You have been saying you will write your book for years.

Your story is scattered across voice memos, journals, videos, documents, and memories. You do not know how to outline it, edit it, publish it, make a cover, create an audiobook, or finish without spending years polishing the life out of it.

You want your story to exist while you are still here to tell it.

Inside the Family: weekly support from voice memo to published book — outline, dictation, AI editing, Amazon KDP, and the audiobook.

Life itself

Nothing is completely broken, but too much feels off.

Your sleep, food, screens, home, calendar, work, relationships, body, money, and attention are all pulling in different directions. You keep trying to repair one category while the rest of your life quietly tears it back down.

Inside the Family: we look at the whole system — sleep, screens, money, work, relationships — and change it one honest adjustment at a time.

You do not need to identify with every problem on this page.

You only need one part of your life that you are ready to stop handling alone.

Bring the real problem to the Family.

Come to the next weekly call. Show me the channel, wallet setup, website, budget, workflow, message thread, book file, daily routine, or decision you are stuck on. We will look at what is actually happening and find the next honest step.

You do not have twelve unrelated problems. You have one life.

This is why I refuse to reduce myself—or you—to one niche.

Money stress can push you into crypto speculation. Crypto losses can make you work harder. Overwork can wreck your sleep. Poor sleep can make you eat for relief. Feeling bad in your body can make you hide behind screens. Screens can drain your confidence and real relationships. Loneliness can send you back into dating apps, alcohol, gaming, shopping, or another escape. Then you wake up asking why you cannot stay consistent.

The surface problem keeps changing.

The pattern underneath it is often the same: you are trying to feel okay without changing the life that keeps making you feel bad.

I know that pattern because I have lived it in more forms than I would like to admit.

I escaped into alcohol, gambling, video games, food, sex, money, work, fame, social media, crypto, analytics, and the endless promise that the next achievement would finally make me enough.

Some of those escapes looked like failure.

Some of them looked like extraordinary success.

Both could be prisons.

The goal of Jerry Banfield Family is not to make you more efficient at tolerating a life you hate.

The goal is to help you create a life you love—one honest adjustment at a time.

Sometimes that adjustment is technical. We fix the website, wallet, workflow, title, thumbnail, offer, or book file.

Sometimes it is practical. We change the schedule, simplify the portfolio, set a boundary, make a budget, plan the week, or delete an app.

Sometimes it is deeper. We notice that the thing you keep asking how to improve is the thing you actually need permission to stop doing.

That is why the Family is broad by design.

You are a whole person. You deserve somewhere you can bring your whole life.

You probably do not need another video. You need a place to answer back.

I have made more than 10,000 videos. I have sold courses to hundreds of thousands of students. I have published 35 books. I use AI every day.

I love information.

Information is not the missing ingredient for most of us.

You can watch a video about losing weight while eating food you do not want to eat.

You can watch a debt video without opening your bank account.

You can buy a course on YouTube and never publish.

You can ask AI how to fix your relationship without telling it the one detail you are ashamed to admit.

You can read a book on sobriety and still isolate.

One-way content lets you hide. A community asks you to show up.

Inside the Family, you can say:

  • “This is my actual channel. What do you see?”
  • “Here is every coin I own. Help me simplify this.”
  • “This is the message I am afraid to send.”
  • “This is what I ate this week.”
  • “This is what I owe.”
  • “This is the website nobody is buying from.”
  • “This is the book I keep avoiding.”
  • “I am thinking about drinking.”
  • “I do not even know what I need. I just know I cannot keep doing this.”

Then I can ask questions. Other members can notice what you cannot see. We can screen share. We can separate the urgent problem from the dramatic story around it. We can choose one next action. And the following week, you can come back and tell us what happened.

One conversation can change your week.

A place where you keep having those conversations can change your year.

Stop consuming help from a distance.

Join the room where you can bring your own life into the conversation.

Get My Help Every Week

Weekly live group calls, direct messages, Jerry AI, courses, video requests, and community.

I am not useful because I did everything right. I am useful because I have had to rebuild almost everything.

I started my first YouTube channel in 2011 with no audience, no connections, and no idea how far the internet would take me.

I became one of the top instructors on Udemy and made millions of dollars in online course sales.

Then Udemy banned me.

I rebuilt on YouTube. A League of Legends coaching livestream went from almost nobody watching live to hundreds of thousands of views.

Then I burned out on gaming.

I became one of the early crypto YouTubers. I researched thousands of coins, worked with projects, took sponsorships, made money, lost money, and watched the industry from inside the machine.

Then the market changed, my incentives got ugly, and I had to face what I was participating in.

I went all in on another business idea, borrowed aggressively, spent too fast, and ended up sitting in a bankruptcy attorney’s office.

Then I rebuilt again.

I became one of Facebook Gaming’s top partners. I reached people all over the world, earned a full-time income livestreaming, and built a verified page with millions of followers.

Then Facebook demonetized me, the support disappeared, the audience would not follow me elsewhere, and the platform that looked like freedom felt like another addiction.

In June 2025, I deleted nearly everything.

  • The channels.
  • The videos.
  • The followers.
  • The passive income.
  • The identity.

At the same time, I have lived through problems that no analytics dashboard can explain.

I drank alcoholically and got sober through Alcoholics Anonymous in 2014.

I was about 80 pounds heavier than I am today. I tried diets, programs, calorie tracking, restriction, and repeated restarts before building a way of eating and living I could sustain.

I was married for more than twelve years and shared a home with my ex-wife for fourteen. We chose a kind divorce, learned to co-parent in two homes, and stayed family while letting the marriage end.

I learned to live alone again.

I started dating again and discovered that being experienced, successful, healthy, and confident does not protect anyone from loneliness, rejection, ghosting, confusion, or ridiculous decisions.

I have been a millionaire more than once. As I write this in July 2026, I am also publicly rebuilding with a negative net worth of roughly $200,000 while borrowing money, feeling calm, raising my children, creating every day, and refusing to let shame make my decisions.

I have been a police officer and corrections officer. I earned a master’s degree in criminology and left a PhD program to build a business. I have made more than 10,000 videos, generated more than a billion online impressions, published 35 books, built more than twenty YouTube channels, been banned, demonetized, viral, ignored, wealthy, broke, married, divorced, addicted, sober, overweight, athletic, famous, and anonymous.

Today I use ChatGPT, Claude Fable, Claude Code, Gemini, Caffeine AI, and ICP to build things that would have sounded impossible to me a few years ago. I dictate ideas and turn them into books, websites, blog posts, thumbnails, sales pages, workflows, and games. In July 2026, I used ChatGPT Pro and a single Claude Fable prompt to create my own first-person shooter game and serve it from the Internet Computer blockchain.

I am not telling you all of this to say I have a perfect answer for everything.

I am telling you because there is a good chance I have been somewhere near the problem you are facing.

That lets me recognize patterns quickly.

It also lets me say the sentence a lot of us most need to hear:

You are not uniquely broken. You are in a situation. Situations can change.

My track record at a glance:

  • Creating online since 2011
  • 10,000+ videos
  • 35 books
  • More than a billion online impressions
  • Millions of dollars earned online
  • Sober since 2014
  • 80 pounds lost and kept off
  • Still rebuilding in public

Bring one real problem. We will work from there.

  1. Join on Skool.

    Membership is $49 a month or $390 for a full year. You can cancel anytime. The Skool app keeps the community, calls, posts, and direct messages in one place.

  2. Introduce yourself without performing.

    Tell us what is happening now, what you want instead, and where you feel stuck. You do not need a polished origin story. A screenshot, short post, voice note, or blunt paragraph is enough.

  3. Come to the weekly live group call.

    Bring your question. Share your screen when that helps. We can look at analytics, websites, AI workflows, wallet interfaces, NNS staking, book files, dating profiles, messages, offers, budgets, routines, or anything else you can safely show.

    You will also learn from other members’ problems. Someone else’s website review may fix yours. Someone else’s dating spiral may show you your own pattern. Someone else’s crypto mistake may save you money.

  4. Use the support between calls.

    Direct message me. Post in the community. Ask Jerry AI. Work through the courses and lessons. Request a video on a problem that deserves a full explanation. Share a win. Admit a failure before it grows.

  5. Choose one next step.

    We are not trying to redesign your entire life in one emotional conversation. We identify what matters now and decide what you can actually do next.

  6. Come back.

    Tell us what happened. Adjust. Repeat.

That weekly rhythm is the product.

Not hype. Not a miracle. Not a pile of content you forget you bought.

A place to keep telling the truth and moving.

When money is frightening, you need truth before strategy.

  • Are you afraid to calculate your net worth?
  • Do you avoid opening bills or credit card statements?
  • Are you borrowing to survive, borrowing to grow, or borrowing because you do not know how to stop the gap?
  • Do you make good money and still feel poor?
  • Do you feel embarrassed because you are older and thought you would be farther ahead?
  • Are you staying in a job you hate because losing the paycheck feels impossible?
  • Or did you quit the thing that made you money and now wonder whether you made a terrible mistake?

I understand all of those positions.

I have made millions of dollars online. I have had months where I made more than many people make in a year. I have also built hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, watched business ideas fail, sat in a bankruptcy attorney’s office, and had to admit that optimism without an honest inventory is not a financial plan.

Today I am doing something most money teachers would never do: I am talking publicly while my net worth is negative and I am borrowing.

I am not pretending debt does not matter.

I am demonstrating that panic is optional and shame is not a strategy.

Feeling wealthy does not mean lying about the numbers. It means recognizing every form of wealth you have—time, health, skills, relationships, credit, housing, ideas, energy, and the ability to create—while making clear decisions about the financial reality.

Inside the Family, you can bring
  • Your income and expense list.
  • Your debt.
  • Your cash runway.
  • Your business idea.
  • Your job decision.
  • Your pricing.
  • Your offer.
  • The purchase you are about to make.
  • The coin you think will save you.
  • The fear that you are running out of time.
  • The belief that you need to become rich before you can enjoy your life.

We can separate the math from the shame.

We can look at what needs to be cut, what deserves more investment, what you can sell, what skill you can offer, what conversation you are avoiding, and what part of your money problem is actually a life problem.

Sometimes the next step is making more. Sometimes it is spending less. Sometimes it is getting a job. Sometimes it is leaving one. Sometimes it is admitting that the opportunity you keep funding is not working. Sometimes it is giving a good plan enough time instead of panicking into a new one every week.

I will share my experience and help you think. I am not your financial adviser, accountant, bankruptcy attorney, or lender, and I will not promise a return.

What I can offer is unusually honest perspective from someone who has been rich, broke, leveraged, afraid, abundant, reckless, disciplined, and willing to show you the numbers while the story is still happening.

Money gets clearer when you stop hiding it.

Bring My Money Situation to the Family

Join for $49 a month or $390 a year.

Crypto should make your life simpler, not consume it.

I have been in crypto for twelve years.

I bought Bitcoin early. I traded it. I researched thousands of altcoins. I became one of the early crypto YouTubers. I made money from crypto content, sponsorships, coaching, and investing. I also watched viewers lose money, watched projects manipulate communities, watched exchanges and influencers operate from incentives most investors never see, and watched speculation become another form of gambling.

My conclusion today is strong and public: Internet Computer Protocol is the one blockchain I consider worth my primary attention.

You do not need to agree with me to join the Family.

You do need to be willing to look beyond price charts and slogans.

A lot of people come to crypto because money already hurts. They feel behind. They want a 100x. They want one coin to rescue them. That emotional starting point makes it easy to build a portfolio that is really a collection of hopes.

Then the practical problems begin.

You have coins on multiple exchanges. You have an old hardware wallet. You have a browser wallet you are afraid to update. You cannot find a seed phrase. You remember making a wallet but not which app you used. You want to move ICP into the Network Nervous System and do not understand neurons, dissolve delays, voting, maturity, or staking. You want to use OISY. You want to consolidate twenty coins into something you can understand. You want to know what your spouse or children should do if you die. You want someone to look at the exact portfolio before you put another thousand dollars into a project you discovered yesterday.

Bring that to the Family.

What we can do together
  • Create an inventory of what you own and where it is.
  • Identify which recovery paths are legitimate and which do not exist.
  • Simplify your wallet setup.
  • Walk through ICP, Internet Identity, NNS staking, voting, dissolve delays, maturity, OISY, Caffeine AI, and on-chain applications.
  • Discuss risk, custody, access, and how to leave clear instructions for trusted people.
  • Look at a project’s actual product, team, token, incentives, documentation, and use instead of letting a thumbnail make the decision.
  • Talk before you trade instead of after.
Important boundaries
  • Never send me or any member your seed phrase, private key, password, or authentication code.
  • I cannot recreate a genuinely lost private key or guarantee that a wallet can be recovered.
  • Estate planning and taxes may require a qualified attorney or accountant.
  • Nothing in the Family is personalized investment advice, and no coin—including ICP—is guaranteed to rise.

What I can do is help you slow down, understand what you are touching, reduce avoidable complexity, and make a decision you can explain in plain English.

That alone can save years of confusion.

You do not need another YouTube guru. You need someone who has lived through the whole machine.

  • Is your channel dead?
  • Did one viral video bring the wrong audience?
  • Do your subscribers ignore the thing you actually want to make?
  • Are you trapped in a niche you no longer care about?
  • Are you uploading constantly without making money?
  • Are you making money and quietly hating the work?
  • Are you wondering whether to livestream on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, or everywhere at once?
  • Do you need help with OBS, audio, cameras, titles, thumbnails, playlists, Shorts, livestreams, calls to action, or monetization?
  • Have you been banned, demonetized, flagged for reused content, canceled, or left alone with automated support?

I have lived all of it.

I started on YouTube in 2011. I have made more than 10,000 videos and built more than twenty channels. I have had videos ignored, videos slowly take off, videos go viral, channels die, channels recover, and audiences disappear when I changed subjects. I have streamed on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and platforms most people have forgotten. I became a top Facebook Gaming partner, then lost monetization and discovered how little power a creator has when the platform changes its mind.

I built huge audiences and deleted them.

I burned out, came back, split my work across niche channels, deleted channels again, and restarted six channels from zero in 2026 so I could test what works now instead of repeating advice from five years ago.

That history lets me help with both sides of content creation: how to grow, and how not to destroy your life while growing.

Screen share your channel and we can look at
  • What a new viewer thinks you do.
  • Whether the channel topic is coherent.
  • Which videos are attracting the right people.
  • Titles and thumbnails.
  • Click-through rate and retention.
  • Short versus long videos.
  • Livestream strategy.
  • Your OBS setup.
  • Audio and video quality.
  • Posting frequency.
  • Playlists and series.
  • Calls to action.
  • How your content leads to income.
  • Whether you need one channel or several.
  • Whether you should stop doing something that is technically working.

I can also help you think through the problem most creator advice avoids:

What is the channel for?

Views are not a business model. Subscribers are not a relationship. A viral video can be a disaster if it locks you into work you hate. Passive income can keep you trapped longer than failure would.

The right content system makes it easier to create useful work, earn cleanly, and still have a real life when the camera is off.

I cannot promise views, monetization, virality, or protection from a platform decision.

I can give you direct feedback from fourteen years inside the system and help you build around your actual goals instead of somebody else’s highlight reel.

Show me the channel, not the story you tell yourself about it.

AI becomes valuable when it leaves the chat box and starts doing your real work.

A lot of people are paying for powerful AI and using it like a slightly better search engine.

They ask a question. Get a generic answer. Copy a prompt. Open another tab. Start over.

That is not the opportunity.

The opportunity is to build a workflow around the way you already think and work.

I speak. AI transcribes and organizes.

I record a video. Claude can process the file, create captions, prepare titles and descriptions, and turn the transcript into a blog post in my voice.

I dictate a book. AI helps structure and edit it while preserving the story.

I describe a website. Caffeine AI can build and host it on ICP.

I talk through a business problem with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, compare the thinking, and turn the best answer into an offer.

I create thumbnails, sales pages, research, presentations, lesson materials, code, and systems without starting every task from a blank page.

In July 2026, I described the game I wanted to ChatGPT Pro, gave the resulting specification to Claude Fable in one prompt, and got a playable first-person shooter served from the Internet Computer blockchain.

That is the kind of jump I want to help you make: from “AI is interesting” to “I built the thing.”

  • Your idea, spoken out loud
  • A clear specification
  • An AI workflow
  • The finished thing, live
You might bring
  • A repetitive task that eats five hours a week.
  • A folder full of videos you want processed.
  • A website idea.
  • A landing page that needs to convert.
  • A book or course buried in transcripts.
  • A business process spread across six apps.
  • A game you want to play.
  • A content system you want to automate.
  • A fear of Claude Code or the command line.
  • An AI output that does not sound like you.

We can map the workflow from input to finished result. We can decide which parts should stay human. We can write the initial specification. We can debug what the agent built. We can improve the prompt, structure the files, test the output, and simplify the process so you can run it again.

For websites, we can look at copy, layout, speed, mobile experience, domain setup, calls to action, booking, and whether ICP or another stack fits the job.

For games and applications, we can focus the first version on one experience that works instead of asking AI to build an entire universe at once.

The goal is not to collect more AI subscriptions.

The goal is to create leverage without giving away your voice.

You are not lazy. Your current system is producing your current body.

I know what it is like to hate being overweight.

I know what it is like to feel as if your appetite is stronger than you are.

I know what it is like to count calories, try elimination diets, buy a coach’s packaged food, lose weight, overeat, restart, and wonder why something so “simple” feels impossible.

At my heaviest, I was roughly 80 pounds heavier than I am today.

Losing the weight was not one heroic decision.

It was a long process of getting sober, learning to eat differently, changing my environment, building routines, sleeping, walking, playing tennis, practicing yoga, getting massage, spending time outside, and continuing to notice the moments when I eat beyond what my body needs.

I still have those moments.

That is important.

I am not selling you the fantasy that I became perfect and never struggle again.

I am showing you what it looks like to build a life where the struggle no longer controls the outcome.

Maybe your issue is not knowledge.

You know vegetables are good. You know sleep matters. You know movement helps. You know eating the whole bag while standing in the kitchen does not make you feel better.

The missing piece may be an honest weekly loop.

  • What happened?
  • What made it easier?
  • What made it harder?
  • What will you change before next week?
  • Who knows what you committed to?
Inside the Family, we can work on
  • A simple food environment.
  • A realistic movement plan.
  • Sleep and evening routines.
  • Emotional eating.
  • Binge patterns.
  • Tracking without obsession.
  • Returning after a bad day instead of turning it into a bad month.
  • Building identity around what you repeatedly do.
  • Finding forms of exercise you actually enjoy.
  • Reducing the screens and stress that keep sending you back to food.
  • Celebrating progress before the scale gives you permission.

I will tell you what has worked for me, including my whole-food, plant-forward way of eating and active lifestyle. You are free to use what fits and leave what does not.

This is not medical treatment, diagnosis, eating-disorder care, or a replacement for a qualified clinician. I will not promise a certain number of pounds or tell you to ignore symptoms.

What I can offer is lived experience, directness, accountability, and a place where success and failure can both be discussed without pretending.

Do not wait to feel motivated before you build support.

Work on My Health Inside the Family

Bring your real week—not your ideal week—to the call.

Addiction changes costumes. Recovery has to become a way of life.

I did not drink because I loved destroying my life.

I drank because alcohol felt like my solution.

It quieted my mind. Changed my body. Made boredom disappear. Made me feel connected. Made me feel like myself.

Taking alcohol away initially felt like taking away the one thing that worked.

That is why telling someone to “just stop” is rarely enough.

We have to build a sober life worth staying present for.

Alcoholics Anonymous gave me that through meetings, honesty, steps, sponsorship, service, and people who knew what my mind was doing before I did.

I have been sober since 2014.

I stayed sober through business failure, internet fame, platform bans, financial fear, parenting, marriage problems, divorce, living alone, and dating.

I also learned that putting down alcohol does not automatically end the desire to escape.

I have used gambling, gaming, crypto, food, sex, work, social media, fame, and productivity in addictive ways.

The object changes. The loop remains:

  • Discomfort
  • Obsession
  • Temporary relief
  • Consequences
  • Shame
  • Another promise

The opposite of addiction in my life has been connection.

That is one reason the Family exists.

You may need somewhere to say:

  • “I have not had a drink, but I am not okay.”
  • “I stopped gambling and now I am trading crypto all day.”
  • “I deleted the game and replaced it with YouTube.”
  • “I am sober and lonely.”
  • “I am thinking about relapsing.”
  • “I am embarrassed to tell my meeting what I am doing.”
  • “I do not know how to have fun without getting addicted.”

We can talk honestly about the life surrounding the behavior: your schedule, relationships, body, work, boredom, resentment, isolation, and what support needs to be added.

This is support, not treatment

Jerry Banfield Family is not Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, detox, therapy, medical care, or emergency support.

If you may be in dangerous withdrawal, at risk of harming yourself or someone else, or unable to stay safe, contact emergency services or a qualified professional now. For substance recovery, I will consistently encourage real recovery community and appropriate professional care.

The Family can be an additional place to practice honesty, connection, accountability, and building a life you do not want to escape.

That is valuable before a crisis.

It is even more valuable after the crisis passes and you have to figure out how to live.

Dating hurts most when you make every result mean something about your worth.

  • Have you spent an hour swiping and felt worse than when you started?
  • Do you keep reinstalling apps because you do not know where else to meet anyone?
  • Are you getting matches and no conversations? Conversations and no dates? Dates and no connection?
  • Attention from people you do not want and silence from the people you do?
  • Are you analyzing one text message as if it contains the answer to your future?
  • Are you staying in a relationship because starting over sounds worse?

I understand.

I met my first wife online. We were married for more than twelve years, built a family, and had a kind divorce.

Then I entered modern dating at 41 with confidence, stories, health, experience, a public identity, and the ridiculous assumption that all of that would make dating simple.

It did not.

I have been ghosted, rejected, confused, overenthusiastic, underenthusiastic, lonely, attracted to unavailable women, pursued by women I did not want, disappointed by dating profiles, tempted to perform, and caught myself trying to turn every interaction into a verdict.

I have also had beautiful conversations, gone to speed dating, met women at yoga and community events, learned to be direct, clarified what I want, and discovered how much better dating feels when it becomes one part of a full life instead of the thing deciding whether life is good.

Inside the Family, we can look at
  • Your profile and photos.
  • The promises your profile makes.
  • Your messages.
  • A conversation you are overthinking.
  • Whether to ask someone out.
  • How to communicate interest directly.
  • Where to meet people in real life.
  • How to create a social calendar.
  • What relationship you actually want.
  • Compatibility. Boundaries. Rejection. Ghosting. Loneliness.

I am not here to give you manipulative pickup lines or teach you how to pressure anyone.

Clarity is kindness.

The goal is to become more honest about who you are, what you want, what you offer, and whether the person in front of you fits the life you want to build.

A community also gives you somewhere to bring the decision before you send the message, spend the money, ignore the red flag, or spiral alone for two days.

Sometimes five people saying “do not do that” is exactly the help we need.

You do not have to make dating your private crisis.

Bring My Dating Life to the Family

Direct feedback, honest conversation, and a life bigger than the apps.

Starting over is not one decision. It is hundreds of ordinary days.

The dramatic moment gets the attention.

The breakup. The move. The signed papers. The lost job. The empty house. The death. The diagnosis. The decision to quit.

Then everyone goes home, and you still have to live Tuesday.

That is where rebuilding happens.

My ex-wife and I chose to end our marriage after more than twelve years together and fourteen years sharing a home.

We did not turn each other into enemies.

We kept talking. Kept parenting. Kept showing up. Created two homes. Let our children love both of us. Helped each other when we could. Allowed grief and gratitude to exist together.

That did not make it painless.

I had to learn how to live alone again.

I had to sit in a quiet house, build a new routine, make plans instead of assuming family life would fill the calendar, date after marriage, manage jealousy, redefine friendship with my ex-wife, stay present with my children, and decide who I was without the roles I had been living in.

If you are in a major transition, the Family can help with the part nobody puts on the checklist:

  • What do you do tonight?
  • Who do you call?
  • How do you stop replaying the argument?
  • What belongs on your calendar?
  • What needs to leave the house?
  • How do you stay connected with your children?
  • How do you ask for help?
  • How do you build a social life?
  • How do you let the old identity die without deciding your whole life is over?
  • How do you remain kind without abandoning your boundaries?
  • How do you grieve without using the grief as permission to destroy yourself?

I can share how we approached a kind divorce and what I learned living it in real time. I can listen, reflect patterns, and help you decide the next practical step.

I am not a lawyer or therapist. Divorce, custody, domestic violence, and mental health concerns may require qualified professional support.

What the Family provides is continuity: somewhere to keep bringing the real week while the new life slowly becomes normal.

A business should support your life—not become the next thing you need to escape.

I know how to make money online.

I have sold courses, services, coaching, ads, sponsorships, affiliate offers, books, memberships, and content.

I learned Facebook marketing, Google Ads, SEO, email, landing pages, funnels, websites, YouTube, livestreaming, course platforms, and sales copy by doing them with my own money and reputation on the line.

I also know how easy it is to build a machine that pays you to betray yourself.

The money becomes too easy to quit. The audience expects more of the thing you hate. The platform owns the customer. The course sells better than it helps. The sponsor pays you to sound more certain than you are.

You keep adding software, contractors, channels, and offers until your business is technically bigger and your life is smaller.

Then you say you want to simplify while launching one more thing.

  • Who you help
  • The problem you solve
  • Your offer
  • Delivery you are proud of
Inside the Family, we can look at the whole path
  • Who do you help?
  • What painful problem do you solve?
  • What do you offer?
  • Why should someone trust you?
  • What is the simplest next purchase?
  • Does the homepage make that obvious?
  • Does your content lead to the offer?
  • Can you deliver it without resenting the customer?
  • What should be automated? What should remain personal?
  • What should you stop paying for? What should you delete?
  • Are you building an asset or renting attention?
  • Are you making money in a way you are proud to repeat?

You can bring your website and we will read it like a customer.

You can bring your offer and we will try to explain it in one sentence.

You can bring your tool stack and we will look for what can disappear.

You can bring your pricing, sales call, ad, email, funnel, calendar, or content plan.

You can bring the fear that nobody will buy.

I will not promise revenue.

I will help you get honest about value, attention, trust, conversion, delivery, and whether the business fits the person you want to be.

My own community is an example of that correction.

Instead of taking a sponsorship from every project, selling another giant course, or chasing one-off calls, I built one place where people can know what I offer: ongoing access, honest feedback, useful tools, and a relationship that gets more valuable as we learn each other’s lives.

Simple is not always easy. It is often worth it.

Your story does not need permission to become a book.

A lot of people die with their best stories trapped in conversations nobody recorded.

They think writing a book requires a publisher, an editor, a literary identity, perfect grammar, years of free time, and one grand idea important enough to justify it.

I publish differently.

  • I speak
  • Transcript
  • AI-assisted edit in my voice
  • Cover and format
  • Published on Amazon KDP
  • Audiobook

I record my life, ideas, mistakes, lessons, and stories. I transcribe the audio. I use AI to help shape and edit the material while keeping my voice. I format the book, create the cover, publish through Amazon KDP, and narrate the audiobook myself.

I have published 35 books because I am willing to finish.

Some are polished topic books. Some are raw daily autobiographies. Some capture a single idea.

Together they create a record of my life my children and future generations can read after I am gone.

You can do this too.

Maybe you want to write
  • Your life story.
  • A recovery memoir.
  • A family history.
  • A book for your children.
  • A book about your business.
  • A short answer to one problem.
  • A daily journal.
  • A book based on years of videos or podcasts.
  • A book that introduces people to your service.
  • A private book for one person.
  • A legacy document your family will be grateful to have.
Inside the Family, we can
  • Find the book inside your material.
  • Choose the reader.
  • Create an outline.
  • Design questions for dictation.
  • Turn voice memos into chapters.
  • Organize transcripts.
  • Use AI without flattening your voice.
  • Decide what needs to be private.
  • Format for Kindle and paperback.
  • Think through the cover, title, description, categories, and launch.
  • Plan the audiobook.
  • Build a repeatable publishing workflow.

The goal is not to prove you are a “real author.”

The goal is to make the book real.

Your first finished book will teach you more than five years of thinking about writing one.

Bring the voice memo, manuscript, or story you keep postponing.

Finish My Book With the Family

Weekly support from idea through publication.

The real product is not advice on ten topics. It is a place to keep rebuilding your life.

Create a Life You Love is not a motivational slogan to me.

It is the question I had to ask after I deleted the career that made me famous, left the marriage that structured my home, and stopped assuming another achievement would tell me who to be.

What do I want to wake up to?

What kind of work feels clean?

What kind of body do I want to live in?

What kind of father do I want to be?

What kind of relationship do I want?

What kind of people do I want around me?

What deserves my attention?

Where is the fun?

What am I done tolerating?

What do I need to build now?

Your answer will not be one thing.

A life is made of mornings, meals, messages, bills, work, movement, rooms, friends, boundaries, laughter, rest, purpose, and what you do when nobody is watching.

That is why we can talk about ICP one week and loneliness the next.

The wallet matters because your peace matters. The channel matters because your work matters. The weight matters because living in your body matters. The relationship matters because connection matters. The book matters because your story matters. The money matters because choices are easier when you can pay for them. The sobriety matters because none of the rest lasts if you keep escaping yourself.

And the community matters because human beings are not designed to perform every transformation alone.

My job is not to become the center of your life.

My job is to help you see your life clearly enough to live it.

Everything inside Jerry Banfield Family

Weekly live group calls with me

Bring a question, share your screen, ask for feedback, or listen and learn from what other members are building and facing.

Direct messages

Message me inside Skool between calls. Send context, screenshots, progress, and questions that do not need to wait for the group.

Jerry AI

Use the custom AI trained on my books, videos, stories, and ways of thinking to explore a problem anytime. Then bring the answer to me or the group when a human conversation would help.

Courses and lesson archive

Use the tutorials and materials I have already created across YouTube, AI, crypto, ICP, websites, business, content, books, health habits, recovery, and life.

Video requests

Ask for a topic that deserves a full demonstration or explanation. Your real question can become the next useful lesson for everyone.

Member discussions and accountability

Post the goal. Share the decision. Admit what happened. Celebrate the win. Let people learn your name and notice when you disappear.

A multi-topic room

You do not need a separate community for every category of your life. Bring the whole person.

A direct relationship over time

The longer you stay, the less time we spend explaining your history and the faster we can recognize the pattern. That is the advantage of a family over a one-time transaction.

Join Jerry Banfield Family

The Family works best when you are willing to be honest and do one thing next.

This is for you when…

  • You have a real problem or goal you are willing to discuss.
  • You value direct feedback more than empty encouragement.
  • You are interested in more than one area of life.
  • You can take what fits and leave what does not.
  • You are willing to show your actual work.
  • You want accountability without humiliation.
  • You understand that progress is an experiment, not a guarantee.
  • You want community, not another parasocial audience.
  • You are ready to make at least one change instead of endlessly researching change.

This is probably not the right community for you when…

  • You want guaranteed investment returns, virality, weight loss, recovery, income, or dating results.
  • You want me to tell you what you want to hear.
  • You expect instant, unlimited, 24-hour private access.
  • You want professional medical, legal, tax, emergency, or mental health treatment from a community.
  • You want to stay anonymous forever and never let anyone know what is actually happening.
  • You only want content to consume and have no intention of applying it.

You do not have to agree with every belief I have.

You do need to value honesty, curiosity, responsibility, and the possibility that your first explanation of the problem is not the whole truth.

What to do during your first seven days

  1. Day 1

    Join and post a simple introduction: where you are, what you want, and the one thing taking the most mental space.

  2. Day 2

    Ask Jerry AI the full question. Do not clean up the embarrassing detail.

  3. Day 3

    Message me or post a screenshot, link, file, or update that makes the problem concrete.

  4. Day 4

    Choose one relevant lesson or tutorial instead of trying to consume the whole archive.

  5. Day 5

    Come to the weekly call with one sentence: “The result I want from this conversation is…”

  6. Day 6

    Do the next step while the conversation is still fresh.

  7. Day 7

    Report what happened—even when the answer is “I avoided it.”

You do not need to transform your life in your first week.

You need to stop being alone with the loop.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be interested in every topic?

No. Join for the problem you have now. Stay because life keeps changing. You might arrive for ICP, use the AI workflow next month, bring your YouTube channel later, and eventually need support through a relationship or money decision. The multi-topic design is the point.

What happens on the weekly calls?

Members bring current questions and projects. We talk, screen share when useful, identify what is actually happening, and choose a next step. Some weeks your problem will be the focus. Other weeks you will learn from what another member brings.

Can I direct message you?

Yes. Direct messages inside Skool are part of the membership. I read and respond within reasonable boundaries. The weekly call and community remain the best places for problems that benefit from context, screen sharing, or multiple perspectives.

Can you recover my lost crypto wallet?

I can help you inventory what you remember, identify legitimate recovery options, recognize scams, and understand the tools involved. I cannot recreate a lost private key, bypass lawful security, or guarantee recovery. Never share a seed phrase, private key, password, or authentication code with me or anyone in the community.

Will you tell me what crypto to buy?

I will share my research, experience, portfolio thinking, and strong opinions, including why I focus on ICP. I can help you analyze a project and understand risk. Nothing in the Family is individualized investment advice or a promise of returns. You remain responsible for every financial decision.

Can you help me lose weight or get sober?

I can share exactly what worked for me, help you build habits, and provide accountability and community. I do not diagnose, treat, or replace doctors, therapists, dietitians, treatment programs, AA, or emergency care. Use the Family as support around qualified care, not as a substitute for it.

Can you help with dating?

Yes. We can review profiles, photos, messages, communication, social opportunities, standards, boundaries, rejection, loneliness, and relationship decisions. The goal is honest, respectful connection—not manipulation or pressure.

Can you help me build with AI even when I am not technical?

Yes. I began many of my best AI workflows by speaking into my phone and taking screenshots when I did not understand the command line. We can start with the task you want completed, describe the result clearly, and build the simplest repeatable workflow.

Can you look at my YouTube channel or website?

Yes. Bring the link and be ready to share your screen. We can review the message, design, analytics, content, offer, call to action, technical setup, or specific problem.

Is this a course?

No. Courses and lessons are included, but the main value is ongoing access: weekly live calls, direct messages, Jerry AI, member discussion, and accountability around your current situation.

What if I miss a weekly call?

Use the community and direct messages, continue with your next step, and come to the next call you can attend. The call schedule and any available call resources are posted inside Skool.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Monthly membership is $49 and can be canceled anytime. The annual option is $390 for people who want to commit for a year and save compared with monthly billing.

Why should I join instead of booking one private call?

One conversation can create clarity. Ongoing support helps you apply it, report back, and adapt when real life interferes. Private sessions may be available separately, but the Family is the best first step for most people because you get support every week for less than the cost of repeatedly booking individual calls.

What makes this different from following your free videos?

My videos are about what I think will help an audience. The Family starts with what is happening in your life. You can answer back, show the details, ask follow-up questions, and let me learn your context over time.

Jerry Banfield You do not have to figure out the whole life today.

Bring the part that hurts most.

Maybe it is your money.

Maybe it is your wallet.

Maybe it is the channel you cannot revive, the book you cannot finish, the body you do not feel at home in, the drink you keep thinking about, the relationship you cannot understand, the business that is not working, or the empty space left by a life that ended.

Bring it.

You do not need to impress me.

I have been famous and forgotten, rich and broke, married and divorced, addicted and sober, overweight and athletic, certain and completely wrong.

I am still here. I am still learning.

And I would love to help you take the next honest step.
