This month inside the Second Brain Membership, we're tackling something I hear about constantly: people know how to prompt AI, but they're not finishing things with it.

The missing piece is knowing how to set up a project before you hand it to AI.

We call the framework AIRPORT, and it's designed to take a project you've been sitting on and actually get it done — with AI doing more of the heavy lifting.

I'm hosting a live session this Thursday, June 4 at 12 pm ET, and from there our team will guide members through weekly implementation sprints for the rest of the month.

If you want in, now's a good time to join.

The CODE Challenge: Episode 5 - Express (Finale)

This is the season finale of the CODE Challenge. The four weeks before this one were preparation. Every note Carolina, Edvardo, and Ethan have captured, organized, and distilled exists for what happens this week.

Express is the step where the method has to pay off. Where a Second Brain has to produce something the rest of the world can see, use, or buy.

AI Gave Me Free Time. Now What?

The main thing AI has taught me, through all the time savings it brings, is that I'm not a very interesting person.

Faced with a surplus of free time, I realize I don't really have hobbies besides content consumption. I'm forced to conclude that I don't have very deep friendships, and am not a core member of any particular community. I'm not very cultured, I'm finding, and don't have abiding interests in art or literature or history, or much that isn't directly related to my work.

I have a work-centric life, in other words.

AI pulls back the curtain on just how impoverished such an existence is, by disabusing me of its necessity.

Given the freedom I've always said I wanted, I'm at a loss as to what to do with it, except plow myself even harder into work, thus exacerbating the lesson.

There's nothing more confronting to humans than freedom.

I don't think I'm alone in this. What does your free time reveal about you?

Book Recommendation: Superteams by Ron Friedman

Ron Friedman studied thousands of high-performing teams and found something worth paying attention to:

The individual productivity habits most of us rely on (silencing notifications, batching email, blocking your calendar) often backfire in a team setting. They protect your focus while making the day longer for everyone around you.

Superteams is about what works instead. Shared focus blocks where no one is expected to respond. Meeting-free days. Clearer criteria for when a meeting is even necessary.

If your team is busy but not making real progress, this is worth reading. Ron is also offering a free masterclass with every copy of the book, covering the key strategies in under 20 minutes.
