This week, I'm introducing something new.
Instead of my typical newsletter format, I’m sharing 3 "Tiny Thoughts" — a collection of insights from my recent experiences, discoveries from books & podcasts, or observations about emerging AI trends. Each thought will focus on unique and sometimes hidden perspectives that are still relevant and useful.
In the future, I may combine these Tiny Thoughts with full newsletters or continue this more focused format. Either way, my intention stays the same: delivering high-quality content that helps you drive meaningful growth with AI.
So, here goes!
Tiny Thoughts
The playful AI mindset
What I took away from "Play" by Stuart Brown was that play isn’t just a luxury but a necessity for innovation and creative problem-solving. When we apply this playful mindset to learning and developing AI, we allow ourselves to experiment more freely and approach complex challenges with greater adaptability.
AI for freelance business development
Last week, I led an AI workshop for freelancers starting their own service businesses (i.e. consulting or advising). Using just a resume and well-engineered prompts, Claude created compelling service offerings that showcased these consultants’ unique value. What stood out was how providing only a single email example helped the AI match personal writing style and avoid awkward AI-generated phrases.
Something I'm thinking about next: Implementing automated AI systems that test business offerings at scale, handle prospect meeting scheduling, and generate customized proposals—all while you sleep.
Human connection in the AI era
In a world of abundant information, content, and AI-generated everything, what’s becoming increasingly scarce and valuable is genuine human connection. As Josh Wolfe discussed in the Knowledge Project podcast, while algorithms can create content endlessly, they can’t authentically share or feel the full range of human emotions.
The most significant competitive advantage in the AI era might just be our humanity — our ability to connect, empathize, and bring emotional intelligence to our work and relationships.
