Applications for the Second Brain Enterprise beta cohort close next Monday, May 26th! Over the past few weeks, we’ve shared what this program is all about: Building a custom AI-powered operating system for your business that simplifies decision-making, streamlines operations, and increases profitability—without adding more people. So far, 38 organizations have secured their spot—ranging from wealth management firms and commercial insurance providers to agile management consultants, heavy...

Over the past week, I’ve been working in person with Hayden Miyamoto to fine-tune the curriculum for Second Brain Enterprise. This week, we’re running the first practice sessions with our internal team and a few close partners—a kind of mini alpha cohort—to stress-test the content and make sure everything’s dialed in. We kick off the live cohort on June 2nd, and applications will close in just under two weeks. This program is built for entrepreneurs, executives, and team leaders who want to...

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be sharing a special email series about one of the most transformative experiences of my life — my journey into personal growth and emotional self-awareness through my work with Joe Hudson and the Art of Accomplishment. Over two weeks, I’ll send you the surprising lessons that have reshaped how I work, how I relate to others, and how I live my life. If you’ve ever sensed that there’s something deeper waiting for you beyond endless striving and self-improvement, I think...

May can be a strange month—it’s typically not the start of something new, but it’s not the home stretch either. It’s the middle. And in the middle, momentum matters. Inside our Second Brain Membership this month, we’re zeroing in on what it really takes to move things forward. Not just planning and organizing, but doing. Making consistent progress—even when your task list feels endless, your time is split, and your priorities keep shifting. We’re building systems that help you take action,...

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...

I firmly believe AI is the biggest shift in how we work since the invention of the internet. And I’ve been especially curious about what it means for how businesses operate. That led me to connect with Hayden Miyamoto, a serial entrepreneur, business systems expert, and someone who’s already using AI to run and scale multiple businesses. We’ve been comparing notes over the past few months, and now we’re teaming up to share what we’ve learned. On Wednesday, April 23, at 11 am ET, we’ll walk...

For a moment, we thought about creating an AI that randomly inserts “Just circling back…” into all your emails to keep conversations going forever. Then we realized… isn’t that how email already works? Happy April Fool’s Day! Speaking of email…this month’s theme inside the Second Brain Membership is Streamlining Communication. Throughout April, we’ll help you establish better habits and clear guidelines for emails, instant messages, and team communication so every interaction serves a...
