From AI overwhelm to AI mastery: a guide for busy professionals

“I know I need to start using AI… but I don’t even know where to start.” I heard this exact phrase from a friend last week. If that sounds like you — smart, ambitious, and feeling a bit behind on the AI curve — you’re not alone. The good news? You don’t need to read another lengthy article or take an expensive course.

Hi friends, I was in The Wall Street Journal this week in a piece about people whispering to their computers. This is funny, mildly embarrassing, and completely accurate. I use Wispr Flow constantly.

Here are a couple of past issues to get you started: It's time to switch to Claude and "How can I make more money?" OpenAI released GPT-5.5 recently, and I’ve been deep in it through Codex. Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent and very similar to Claude Code. You give it access to a folder of files, tell it what you want to build or fix, and it works...

Here are a couple of past issues to get you started: It's time to switch to Claude and "How can I make more money?". Last summer I got on a Zoom call with an old friend from high school.
