I didn’t think I’d have more to say, I guess I was wrong. I didn’t intend for this to be a series, but as I was reading “Part 1,” I had some ideas that could answer “these are great, but what’s next?” I also keep thinking—and talking too much—about AI as the number one new…

Talking it out is an easy way to capture your thoughts and create great content—or other stuff. And you probably have everything you need on hand. I got this tip from Christopher S. Penn a while back when he was talking about how he wrote his latest book and I’ve been using it a lot…

To get more out of AI, you have to put more into it. CRAFT gives you a framework for giving AI tools the context they need to do the job. Plus bonus free, no strings, no email download at the end. I think we all started out the same way using generative AI. We heard…

I went down a rabbit hole so you don’t have to. I’m going to give you fair warning before we start. The process I went through to make this lead magnet was really (really) geeky. We’re talking turning the dial up to an eleven on the geek-o-meter. I needed to do this because of the…

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.
