4 Skills I’m Learning that AI Can’t Replace (backed by data)
✅ Google’s #AI Course on Coursera: https://imp.i384100.net/YVD5vq
Knowing how to "use AI" is now table stakes (unfortunately) 😅. This video covers 4 skills that will help you get ahead, and each skill is backed by research from Wharton, Harvard, BCG, and MIT.
You'll learn a mental model for deciding when to delegate, collaborate, or go manual with AI; how to design workflows that compound as AI improves; why storytelling remains your strongest moat; and how to keep your critical thinking sharp instead of letting it atrophy.

Master 80% of Notion with this ONE Feature
🧠 Build Your Own Command Center: https://www.pressplay.cc/link/s/9BBC0F4D
Most #Notion users keep their databases isolated, which means tasks, notes, and projects get jumbled together in confusing ways. The Relations feature changes that by connecting your databases so only relevant information shows up when you need it. This is the foundation of building powerful Notion #systems, and it takes about 2 minutes to learn.
In this video, you'll see exactly why typical Notion setups fall apart, how to connect databases using Relations, and how to build self-filtering #templates that automatically organize new projects. I'll walk through manual and automated approaches with a working example you can duplicate.

4 Next-Level ChatGPT Techniques (Save 15+ Hours Weekly)
Grab HubSpot’s #ChatGPT ebook: https://clickhubspot.com/4f1519
Most people waste hours going back and forth with ChatGPT, refining prompts until they finally get decent results. This video shows you four techniques that change that completely.
You'll learn how to reverse-engineer your best prompts, amplify one piece of content into multiple formats, use AI to critique its own work, and force ChatGPT to outline its reasoning before executing. Each technique is demonstrated with real examples you can apply immediately.
These methods have cut my AI workflow time in half, and they work across any role or industry.

Steal the Productivity System I Taught to 6,642 Googlers

I'm sharing the exact #productivity system I taught to over 6,600 Google employees over nine years.
The CORE workflow handles all four types of workplace information through a simple four-step process: Capture everything immediately, Organize with minimal friction, Review during scheduled sessions, and Engage by blocking time to execute.
Trust me when I tell you it works with any tool you already use and becomes automatic within two weeks. No more relying on memory or willpower alone!

Forget the hype about #AI replacing Hollywood overnight. The reality is that although AI video tools are incredibly powerful, there's no magic button that creates entire videos with one prompt. The real challenge is consistency: getting your characters, voices, and scenes to stay the same across multiple clips.
In this video, I walk through the exact 4-step workflow I use to create multi-scene AI videos with consistent characters. We'll use Google Whisk, Flow, a custom Gemini Gem, and ElevenLabs to build a complete skit from scratch.
No BS, just the actual process.

The 30-second fix for #AI on mobile
AI feels like extra work when it should be effortless.
❌ Your phone's share sheet is the problem. By default, AI apps are buried at the bottom.
✅ Move ChatGPT next to AirDrop on iPhone or pin it to the top on Android.
Activate ChatGPT with iPhone’s Action Button
One iPhone button made me actually use ChatGPT daily.
The action button launches ChatGPT voice dictation instantly, which means almost no decision fatigue.
I find myself using AI for quick tasks I'd normally skip because it's now effortless.
