It’s just another tech habit to build. And the first step is probably right in front of you. If you open LinkedIn right now, you’re going to see a litany of “Top 10 Prompts to 10x Your Productivity” or “The Ultimate AI Cheat Sheet.” I’ve written a few. I’ve shared more than a few. And…

Gemini 3.0 and the rest of Google’s AI tools are eating everyone’s lunch—Microsoft’s included—and that will change how work gets done in the AI era. Microsoft is on the ropes. Who’s next to step into the ring? There has been a lot of chatter about Gemini 3.0 knocking the socks off, well, pretty much everyone….

You can learn anything, but you have to be curious first. Without curiosity, skills are just checklists on a resume. Update Nov 19: Here is the link to Mark’s newsletter/post mentioned below here on Substack. After almost nine months on the job search, I’ve had a lot of time to think about what I’m good…

Classification: PUBLIC / NON-SENSITIVE Reference: OPERATION MOVEABLE FEAST Subject: NOTICE OF CAPABILITY UPGRADE / ASSET AVAILABILITY Classification: PUBLIC / NON-SENSITIVE Reference: OPERATION MOVEABLE FEAST Tris showed me a post from Jennifer Leggio at Moveable Feast and told me that if I didn’t do something like it, he’d leave the top off my inkwell until I…

This might have been Google’s plan all along. The Gemini-powered RAG for all your research, work, and data. I think NotebookLM might be the most under-appreciated and under-utilized AI tool we have right now; and I’m including myself in there too. I’ve talked about it. I’ve taught about it. I’ve shown how amazing it is…

Better tools make faster work to have the time to make stuff that matters I’ve been in the content game for a long time. Long enough to know that you can’t fake engagement. And for a podcaster, there’s one metric that tells the brutal, honest truth: listen-through rate. On a B2B podcast I was running,…

It takes five things to make AI work at work: preparation, practicality, purpose, people, and patience I gave a talk on AI recently, and as I was answering questions, something occurred to me: a lot of the questions people have are fundamental to how AI will actually function at work. They weren’t simple or basic…

You can’t juggle it all and expect to have space to think about anything. Maybe a fractional CMO is the answer? Your day starts with a crisis in sales. Then an HR issue lands on your desk like a lead balloon. You spend an hour wrestling with a spreadsheet for finance, and just before 3…

Yes, you can use AI for content calendars and planning, but that’s not the whole thing. I saw a great post on LinkedIn today by Rachel Sparacio-Foster that just nailed something I’ve seen over and over again—heck I’ve even been guilty of it in the past myself: thinking if you have a content calendar chock-a-block…

It’s process, not AI, that fixes this (but AI can help) Every marketing team is guilty of this, doesn’t matter if you’re one person or 100. Random acts of marketing crop up—and usually out of the blue. The odd thing is—at least for a “Marketing Department”—no one plans to have a mess of these random…
