Build a second income in your 40s — with AI

Rising costs. One fragile income. Pension that may not be enough.

I’m testing a simple path: 30–60 minutes a day with AI to build an income you control — without risking your job or family time.

Hi, I'm Jacek (Jack) Iciek

I’m 40. A Precious Metals Trader in London. Dad to a 5-year-old, Alexander.

I love my job. But I know one paycheque and a distant retirement are risky bets in the AI age.

Like almost every Londoner in their 40s, I also feel the squeeze: high rent, rising bills, and the worry that one income won’t secure my family’s future.

So I’m starting from scratch and learning in public. With AI as my thinking partner, I’m testing simple ways to create a second income — not by selling more hours, but by building things that can earn even when I’m not working.

The next 2–3 years are a rare window to build this second foundation before AI reshapes how we work and do busines.

This site is my lab: small experiments, real results, shared openly.
