My ideas come out of my mouth far faster than through my fingers. Nine months of voice-to-text, more than 9 hours saved every fortnight, and why I tell everyone about it.

A university student told me most people now use AI to summarise every text they're assigned. Stealing time back today steals something far more important: your self-confidence, capability, grit and self-determination.

Open ChatGPT or Claude right now. Look at the top of the screen. Which model is selected? Almost certainly the biggest, most expensive one. The platform defaults you there. It doesn't ask. It doesn't explain. It just assumes you want maximum firepower for every single thing you type. That's fine when you're doing serious work….

There's a moment, two or three sessions in, when the output still isn't quite right and you wonder if any of this is actually going to work. Most people close the tab here. That's the wall. The ones who push through figure out something the others don't. The problem isn't the AI. The problem is…

There's a moment in every AI training I run where someone says: yeah, but you know how to prompt AI. True. I've been doing it for four years. But that's not the real answer. The real answer is twenty-five years running businesses and fifteen years in tech. When I sit down to prompt, I already know…

The thing agreed with you again. You brought it a decision. Explained the context. Added the nuance. It nodded, offered three supporting reasons, and sent you out the door feeling smart. That's not a thinking partner. That's a mirror. The positive reinforcement loop is the biggest trap in working with AI. It doesn't feel like…

Staring at a blank page trying to articulate your values is a particular kind of awful. You sit down to capture your goals, your rules, your tone preferences, the security constraints you want the AI to work inside. Within five minutes you've forgotten what you actually believe. So don't write it from scratch. Let the…

Most people use AI like a search engine. Ask. Get an answer. Move on. The people getting real leverage have stopped doing that. They've built a system. A system with parts, governance, and a direction. Not a better search engine. Something else entirely. There are seven parts. Identity is who the AI thinks…

You know when you're having a conversation with AI, whether that's ChatGPT, Claude, or anything else, and you just find it responding to you overly positively? Reinforcing your own beliefs, nodding along to your decisions, when what you actually want is for it to act like a group of experts. To qualify what got you…

Discover how a small business can prime ChatGPT to write better prompts that give you better results. I've been using ChatGPT over 12 months. I'm sharing how you can prime it before you ask anything, to make sure the responses you get aren't your typical marketing messages, completely off-brand and useless to you.

The education system rewards exactly what AI now generates: the structured, the accurate, the verifiable. When a machine can produce all of that, the measurement itself breaks — which makes education the institution most exposed to AI of all.
