Over the past week, I’ve shared why I believe AI is the biggest shift in how we work since the internet, and why most “DIY” approaches fall flat when it comes to actual implementation in a business setting.
Now it’s time to bring it all together.
Tomorrow at 11 am ET, I’ll be joined by Hayden Miyamoto, a serial entrepreneur who’s been using AI to run and scale multiple businesses.
We’ll walk you through the Master Prompt Method, the exact framework we both use to turn AI into something far more valuable than a writing assistant—an actual operator inside the business.
You’ll see a live demo, learn how it works, and get a sneak peek at the new program we’re building to help you implement it in your business. Can’t wait to share it with you.
If you can’t join live, no worries! We’ll send out the recording to everyone who registers.
Better Communication Starts With You
This month inside the Second Brain Membership, we focused on streamlining communication—a challenge that shows up for nearly everyone, especially when working on a team.
It can be frustrating when there’s no clear agreement on how to communicate, which tools to use, or what the expectations are.
One of the key insights that emerged during our Office Hours conversations was this: you can’t always control how others communicate, but you can model the behaviors you want to see.
Whether it’s how you respond to messages, how you set meeting agendas, or how you use your status updates—your actions set a tone. And often, that’s what nudges your team toward better habits more effectively than any formal guideline.
So here’s the shift: instead of waiting for others to change, ask yourself—how can I lead by example through the way I communicate? It’s a small but powerful reframe that puts you back in the driver’s seat.
The Analog Productivity System: Journaling for Every Season of Life
I’m thrilled to share a special guest post by my wife, Lauren Valdez.
Lauren approaches productivity in a way that’s refreshingly different from my digital-first philosophy. She’s deeply rooted in the tactile and intentional, favoring physical tools like journals over digital systems.
Journaling has been her cornerstone for reflection, decision-making, and creativity.
I’m excited for her to share her journaling practice with you, not as a “how-to,” but as an inspiring example of how to customize systems that resonate with your life and values.
How to Unlock the Power of Tiny Experiments
It was a real treat to welcome Anne-Laure Le Cunff, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and author of Tiny Experiments, for a guest workshop in our Second Brain Membership recently.
She walked us through a powerful approach to personal growth: thinking like a scientist.
Instead of rigid goals and all-or-nothing thinking, Anne-Laure shared how tiny experiments can help us test ideas, collect insights, and make meaningful progress—with less stress and more curiosity.
We explored:
- The difference between a linear vs. experimental mindset
- How to design experiments that are small, specific, and easy to start
- Why “missing a day” isn’t failure—it’s data
- The value of learning in public and how it accelerates growth
We host guest workshops like this regularly inside our Second Brain Membership. If you want to learn from brilliant minds like Anne-Laure, come join us.
