I Finally Found a Way to Create Good Slides With AI

⏱️ Read time: ~2.5 min For a long time, I had a fairly firm opinion about AI and slides: My years of PowerPoint experience still beat whatever AI could produce. The first AI-generated slide decks I experimented with were not merely imperfect. They were genuinely bad. The layouts were awkward...

Give Yourself Permission to Learn Like a Child!

⏱️ Read time: ~3 min Children would never learn to walk if they were afraid of falling. They wobble. They fall. They look around, recalibrate, and try again. No child waits for a complete risk assessment before taking the next step. Yet that is often how organizations are approaching AI (the very...

AI Avatars: surprisingly useful... for the right job

⏱️ Read time: ~2 min For a while, AI avatars were everywhere. Every demo seemed to feature a polished digital presenter speaking directly to camera. Then the hype quietened down. Not because the tools disappeared, but perhaps because most of us were left wondering: where would we actually use one...

When AI became my kombucha guide

⏱️ Read time: ~2 min I love kombucha. The trouble is, the brands I like are not always available where I shop. And because I already love cooking and fermenting, I finally decided to just make my own. I watched a couple of YouTube videos, gathered the ingredients, and started my first batch. Then...

Stuck? Have you asked AI?

⏱️ Read time: ~2 min I was participating in an AI-training the other week: VPS setup and management, aka learning to deploy AI-coded apps securely on my own infrastructure. For those like me with no tech background. So far so good, I managed just fine. Until, halfway through, I forgot to hit save...

What I Built This Summer

⏱️ Read time: ~1 min Summer is quieter for me, and I genuinely love it. It's time to socialize, spend afternoons at the lake, hit the gym, be with family. But it's also time I use differently than the rest of the year. I'm exploring. I'm upgrading. I'm building things I usually don't have bandwid...

An AI investment that paid for itself in no time

⏱️ Read time: ~3 min I just spent $100 on Claude credits to rebuild my website. Before you think I'm reckless, hear me out. I didn't hire an agency. I didn't outsource to a freelancer. I used Opus 5 to audit my existing website and all landing pages (ca. 50, many I no longer use), my entire codeb...

Why you're confused about which AI model to use

⏱️ Read time: ~4 min One of the most frequent questions I get from both my customers and prospective customers is about model choice: "How do I know which model to use?" It's an understandable question. Six months ago the answer was more or less straightforward. Now there are countless seriou...

EU AI Act: What You Need to Know About Disclosing AI-Generated Content

⏱️ Read time: 5 min This week warrants an extra edition because a significant part of the EU AI Act is now coming into force. I also want to be upfront: I'm not a legal expert on the EU AI Act. This is informational content only, not legal advice. The EU AI Act is complex and enforcement is evolv...

Why Your 4th AI Answer Gets Worse (And How to Fix It)

⏱️ Read time: ~2 min This week's edition is super hands-on. You've probably noticed this: Your AI Chatbot performs well until, suddenly, the response is... off. Vague. Less helpful. And you're wondering why when everything was working just fine until a few moments ago. If it helps, you're not m...

Meet My Workshop Library System

I spent years building incredible workshop content. Feedback exercises that actually work. Role plays that create real breakthroughs. Slide decks in three languages. Run-of-show documents. Client briefing templates. Facilitation guides for virtual sessions. Photo reports. Handouts. Everything. ...

How many tabs do you have open right now?

⏱️ Read time: ~2 min A YouTube video you saved for later. A free guide you downloaded last month. Maybe a course you bought with the best intentions and haven't touched since. I'm not judging, I do it too. We all do. There's so much good content out there, and the plan is always to get to it "whe...
