Your input will genuinely shape what we create and share with you over the coming months. Share Your Input My AI Writing System:...

So I've created our first version, covering everything from books to social media posts. It's...

I just returned from an incredible author mastermind in Nashville last week. It’s organized by several prominent authors in the non-fiction/business space, and I’d been trying to get an invite for years with no success.

These are authors whose books not only changed my life, but inspired me to...

AI is everywhere right now. Every day, there's a new tool, a new headline, a new promise that AI will revolutionize your business. But here's what we learned from working with 52 companies over the past month in the Second Brain Enterprise beta cohort: AI doesn't solve business problems—it exposes them.

The tools that felt perfect in January might be cluttering your workflow now. And the PARA structure you set up with such intention is probably drifted from your actual priorities. That's not failure, that's life. And July is the perfect time to realign everything. This month in the Second Brain Membership, we're focusing on a mid-year...
