Meet My AI Clone


I'm thrilled to share that I'm investing in Delphi, a platform dedicated to using AI for scaling personalized learning.

Delphi's technology allows experts and creators to scale their knowledge and insights through AI clones that have been trained on their content, providing real-time, interactive guidance.

Even more exciting, as of today, you can now have an interactive, two-way video call with my clone!

Whether you have questions about productivity, personal knowledge management, or any other topics I cover, my video clone is here to provide tailored guidance and insights.

And best of all, it’s free.


Consuming Information...Just For Fun?!

"Should we only read articles and books to get something out of them? Can't we just do it for fun?"

A student once asked me this, and it made me realize that I might give the impression that I engage with information solely for productivity or learning purposes.

But nothing could be further from the truth...

I find that the beauty of reading lies in its dual nature: it can be both a tool for personal or professional growth and a pleasurable activity in its own right.

Find a balance that works for you, where you can enjoy the process of learning without feeling overwhelmed by the need to optimize every moment of information consumption.

Sometimes, the most profound insights come when we least expect them, often during moments of leisurely reading or exploring topics purely out of curiosity.


OneNote as a Second Brain (What You're Missing)

I invited Microsoft MVP Mathew Gilbertson for a deep dive into OneNote and was blown away by its capabilities.

We looked into OneNote's almost unlimited capture methods and how it supports the free-form, informal notetaking that helps us think better.

If you're using the Microsoft ecosystem at work and want to improve collaboration and the exchange of ideas, I highly recommend you watch this video.


The Audiobook of Simple Marketing for Smart People Is Now Available

I had so much fun recording the audio version of the book with Billy, and we’re thrilled to offer it in a format that’s perfect for those on the go.

In the book, we address a common challenge: Why do so many smart people struggle with marketing?

The answer lies in the complexity smart people tend to love. However, in the realm of marketing, simplicity is key.

In Simple Marketing for Smart People, we break down the clutter and noise of modern marketing to reveal timeless principles and practical strategies.

You’ll discover how to guide your marketing efforts with a simple focusing question, understand why marketing is fundamentally about teaching, and identify the beliefs your customers need to embrace your products and services.

I'm back from this year's Wholesome Mastermind, our fourth annual gathering of authors, educators, and online creators. One thing keeps sticking with me from the weekend: You don't know what's possible until you see someone else do it. Reading about it doesn't do the same thing as watching someone real pull it off in front of you. That's what this group gives me every year. People building wildly different businesses, earning a living in so many different ways. But they all put their whole...

Summer always slows things down around here, and this year I'm letting it. I'm back home in California with my family for a few weeks, working at half speed and enjoying it. This weekend, I'm heading up to the Bay Area for our fourth annual Wholesome Mastermind, a small gathering of fellow authors, educators, and online creators. Every year I leave with new ideas and a clearer head. I expect this one will be no different. Our YouTube team is also taking a two-week break, so instead of a video...

Today, I want to announce the Alumni Mentor Corps – a program we’re building for Cohort 2 of The AI Second Brain, running September 17 to October 8. Applications are only open to graduates of our founding cohort. But I wanted to share it with everyone anyway. We believe in building in public, showing you the thinking behind what we create, not just the finished product. This is a big part of how we're preparing for Cohort 2, and I think the vision behind it is worth your time. Read about the...
