Howdy Reader! There is a real difference between having an audience and having a community. An audience cheers when you post. A community shows up, travels, and sticks around for years. Our guest this week has spent a decade building the second kind. This Friday we're sitting down with Mike Potter, the host of For Mac Eyes Only, one of the longest-running independent Apple podcasts around, and the founder of Macstock, a conference that just celebrated its 10th anniversary. Mike turned a microphone into a movement, and he knows exactly how to keep people connected long after the event ends. He is one of the warmest, most community-minded people I know, and he is going to show us how he does it. We're exploring: → How he turned a podcast into a conference people travel for, and the mistakes to skip Come watch live so you can drop your questions in the chat and we'll put them to Mike in real time. Join us TODAY, July 24 at 10 AM Central See ya there! P.S. Running a show with a remote guest?

The big idea stuck with me: AI is not an on-off switch; it is a dial. You do not have to be an AI bro or a proud holdout. There is a middle setting where the machine does the busywork and your taste stays in charge. Your cheat sheet breaks the whole thing down, including his Creativity Flywheel: Capture,...
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.
