You Can Now Stop Doing the Boring Admin Work!
I've been listening to podcast interviews with anti-AI speakers… those who think AI is a bubble that's about to crash, or worse, a con job… unreliable and resource-extracting tech that's being forced on all of us, for the profit of billionaires.
I seek these out on purpose, because when it's something I use every day, I want to hear the strongest case against it.
Yet… when they describe what AI is, I'm really surprised. They talk about it as if it was 2023: a chatbot!
If that were all AI was……
Will AI make your business obsolete? What to do in the next few years.
Many of you have written to me about AI recently… some version of: is it still worth creating anything?
Usually it starts with a scary video that someone sent… AI will takeover all jobs; it'll make my business obsolete…
I know that question all too well.
Let me start with an encouraging and true statement:

To My Friends Who Are Feeling Uneasy About AI...
Some of my closest friends, family, and clients are uneasy about AI.
In fact, in many circles, it’s actually shameful to use AI, or to be openly enthusiastic about it (as I am!)
People have raised specific objections to me. I’m grateful. This post exists because of those conversations.

You Don't Have to Reply to Everyone… but Please Don't Automate It 😅
Twenty new comments were sitting in my course communities this morning. I personally replied to three...
Our clients/members take time to write something… and we're only able to respond to a fraction of it. Many of us carry a low-grade guilt about this — the feeling that every unanswered comment is a small broken promise.
If you create content or run any kind of community, you can probably relate. It's one of the reasons social media can feel so exhausting for us soulpreneurs.
And now, for th…
Your AI Is Designed to Flatter You. Here's How to Change That.
You share a half-formed idea with your AI — a rough plan, a shaky draft, a decision you're only half-sure about.
And it tells you the idea is "brilliant." Insightful. Exactly what the world needs!
Feels good, doesn't it? It did for me, too… for longer than I'd like to admit. 😅
But most of the time… it isn't really helping you.
Your AI is trained to please you.
Left to its defaults, that's what it does — it agrees, and hands back a polished, credible-sounding version of whatever you already …
