As Ai moves from Optional to Operational, here's how to prepare.


πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» β€œThe AI displacement of white-collar jobs is upon us. The traditional career path is dying, and AI-driven productivity is redefining what’s possible.”

- Peter Diamandis

Hello Reader,

Artificial intelligence is changing all jobs this decade. You are either getting ready to change how you work, or you are getting ready to retire - whether you like it or not.

AI is a twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Internet was the other one, and we know how that went. We've been fortunate enough, in our generation, to experience two (2) once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

The magnitude to which the world was changed by the internet, and industrialisation, and the printing press - that's how much the world is going to change because of AI. These changes are exponential, so who knows? We might see one more.

πŸ’‘ Close the Capability Gap

Every massive transformation provides opportunity, for those agile enough to move quickly.

Martec's Law demonstrates that technology changes on an exponential scale, while organisations change on a linear scale. This creates a gap, that grows over time.

The way to close this gap is for individuals to use technological change to increase their capability, faster than organisations can.

This leads to disruption. Displacement. Old market leaders being outpaced by young upstarts.

Sam Altman predicts we will see the first single-person billion-dollar company by 2030.

Could it be you?


πŸ€– You all have access to infinite information, so why aren't you an Ai expert yet?

It's because you haven't had the right experiences.

I am not a technologist. I came into technology through the side door, as a marketer. I spent fifteen years helping experts and entrepreneurs tell better stories through digital media.

I do not have deep specialisation in any technical tools. I am a generalist. I studied classical philosophy in university, and knowledge of the humanities allows us to make connections between very different bodies of information.

In a world of infinite answers, asking the right question has become more valuable. And that's what I do as a business coach - I ask good questions, and my coaching skills are what have made me a good operator of Ai tools.

I was an actor for a long time when I was young, and being a performer taught me that information is cheap, but experiences are expensive. Anybody could buy a script and read a play, but people would pay top dollar to see performers acting out the story.


πŸ” How you can experience new Ai tools

In the Ai Coaching Academy, I give people copy-paste prompts, and workflows and templates that get their hands into the tools, so they can use Ai proficiently.

I'll give you a prompt to copy, and then show you how to open up 3 tabs with 3 different large language models, and go paste-paste-paste, and then we compare.

  • How does this LLM differ from that one?
  • What do we like about this one instead of the other?
  • Which one is best for different kinds of work?

Helping people to articulate their own creative taste is part of my role, as an Ai Coach. Because the uniquely human work that Ai cannot do relies on us being confident enough to describe what we like (and dislike) about a response, and coach Ai to do better next time.

βš–οΈ β€œWith a leveraged worker, judgment is far more important than how much time they put in or how hard they work.” - Naval Hello Reader, AI is better at evaluating content than generating content.This makes sense, when you stop to think about it. For a large language model to interpret your instructions, and create output, all in the same step, it dilutes the same token budget over two requests.But if you have ask AI to evaluate its own outputs, it can focus all its attention on identifying...

Create a Coaching Relationship with AI

🌱 "A coach is just a placebo – it's a commitment to make yourself a better person." Barrett Brooks Hello Reader, Most people treat AI like a search engine. They ask simple questions and accept whatever it replies. But if you want truly great results, you need to stop being a consumer of AI and start being a coach to AI. In my next interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to train AI to think better, iterate on its responses, and refine its outputβ€”just like a great coach helps an athlete or...

πŸ‘¨πŸŽ“ β€œIn times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” - Eric Hoffer Hello Reader, Giving your team Copilot licenses will not magically create AI transformation. That mindset is treating AI as a technology problem, when it is actually an operator problem.Most leaders I meet don't have a clear idea about what AI could do for their organization, or how to embed change at this scale. So they give new...
