AI is a dial, not a switch
|
Howdy Reader! I keep having the same conversation lately. Someone makes something with AI, it turns out fine, and then they feel a little weird about it, like maybe it is not really theirs. Our guest this week has the clearest answer to that I have heard. This Friday, we're sitting down with Mike Schmitz, the founder of Practical PKM, co-host of the Focused and Bookworm podcasts, and the creator of LifeHQ, a done-for-you Obsidian vault. Mike is writing some of the sharpest essays anywhere on AI and creativity, and his whole take comes down to one idea: AI is a dial, not a switch. He also does something I am personally fascinated by: he builds a second brain in Obsidian and uses it to turn scattered notes into original work. We'll be talking about... → Where AI belongs in your creative process, and where it never should Come watch live so you can drop your questions in the chat, and we'll put them to Mike in real time.

Howdy Reader! I sat down last week and added up how much of my time goes to work I never wanted to be doing, the inbox, the scheduling, the follow-up, the repurposing. It was a lot. Our guest this week has spent her whole career making that stack disappear. This Friday, we're sitting down with Jennifer Bennett, the founder of Get Desky and a Fractional Chief AI Officer who has run the systems behind 1.2 million leads a month. Now she helps founders hand the backend busywork to AI and AI...
Howdy Reader! There's a long weekend coming up, and if you're anything like me, there's already a little voice in the back of your head making a list. Clean the garage. Catch up on email. Finally deal with that closet. Be productive. Here's a confession... I'm weirdly bad at days off. Give me a free Saturday, and I'll quietly turn it into a to-do list, then feel guilty when I don't finish it. (Nothing says “relaxing holiday” like disappointing yourself by 10 am.) So this week on The Maker's...
Howdy Reader! I went back and listened to some of my early interviews recently, and oof. I was so busy thinking about my next question that I talked right over the best moments. Our guest this week has a fix for that, and it is simpler than you would think. Today, we're sitting down with Matt Stagliano, a portrait photographer, host of the Generator podcast, and the author of a new book called Speak Less, Get More. He has been interviewing people since 1999, and his whole method comes down to...
