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.

This fall we're starting AI Second Brain meetups! The more time we spend with AI, the easier it becomes to go a whole day without a real conversation with another person. These meetups are a small, deliberate push back against that: in-person gatherings for anyone building a Second Brain, or just AI-curious, in any city with someone willing to host. Read the full story. Want to host one in your city? Volunteer by September 3. It takes five minutes: pick a date, a spot, and tell us why you're...

We're getting really close to opening enrollment for Cohort 2 of The AI Second Brain on August 26. Over the past few months, my team and I have been rebuilding this program from the ground up based on everything we learned in Cohort 1. I wrote a blog post breaking down the 10 biggest updates we made for Cohort 2, and why each one matters. Starting tomorrow, I'm also kicking off a new email series where I'll share what's happening with AI right now, and why it's made most people's productivity...

August is here! And we’re getting close to opening enrollment for cohort 2 of The AI Second Brain on Aug. 26. The cohort runs Sep. 17 through Oct. 8: three weeks oflive sessions with eight alumni mentors leading implementation labs, each bringing a different specialty and background to the table. We’re updating the curriculum based on everything we’ve learned and what’s changed in AI in the last half year. And if you want more time with me directly, we’re adding a Premium tier with weekly...
