If you know anything about me, you know my favorite movie series is Star Wars. It perfectly combines technology and philosophy in a way that really lights me up. Plus there’s The Force?—?you know that, “energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.” One of the coolest things about the Force…
Since writing to you about me not using Notion, I’ve been using Notion. A lot. Something weird clicked for me a couple of weeks into using it, and I “get” how it works a little better (shout out to my friend Cat Mulvihill for her help there). So I’ve been using it for Cashflow tracking, products, family stuff (where I…
Imagine you’re waiting for the train or a bus. Maybe you’re even waiting at a red light in your car. The beauty of any of these is that (even if there’s a delay of a few minutes), they run on a predictable schedule. You know that if you need to be at your destination by…
Something I go back and forth on a lot is what apps I want to use. A task manager is the perfect example. I was all-in on Omnifocus for a while. Like all-in. In fact, just writing the word Omnifocus made me download the app again. But then I started getting the itch to do better automations than just throw…
In the pantheon of classic commercials, very few have had the staying power to be quoted years after it aired. There was Budwiser’s “Wasssuuppp” commercial. Old Navy’s Performance Fleece. Where’s the Beef?! But for my wife and me, nothing has been more quotable than Old El Paso’s Why not both? commercial. It’s so applicable in…
I spent last weekend (Sat-Mon) in Scranton for an in-person mastermind with some friends and it was great. One of the exercises we did was a Customer Journey Map, where we mapped out a customer’s pain points. We’d get feedback, make sure we have the pain points right, and then come up with new products to address those pain points….
One of the forcing functions for me to try new and interesting things is the fact that I’m a LinkedIn Learning instructor. For example, I just finished writing the scripts for my next course all about generative AI for podcasters. We’re covering a wide range of use cases for podcasters to leverage AI to make their lives easier. Earlier this…
I’ll admit I’ve been lukewarm on “ideal customer avatars.” I mean, without research, you’re basically just making it up, right? But I also believe that in order to have a successful podcast, you need to know exactly who you’re talking to. Something I’ve been experimenting with is using Chat GPT-4 to craft listener avatars –…
Descript made a big splash on Tuesday by announcing they acquired the popular remote recording service, SquadCast. Something I couldn’t stop thinking about after Riverside, SquadCast’s biggest competitor, launched edit via transcripts is how it felt like they’re trying to eat Descript’s lunch. After all, Descript has made a name for itself as the easiest way to edit your podcast….
There are very few people who can go by just one name. Prince. Madonna. Wednesday. If you Google any of these folks, the person you’re thinking of right now will show up first in the results. That won’t work for everyone. Heck, the current U.S. President has a name so common, people are called, “Average…
