How I use AI to create content (authentically):
⦾ Repurpose old ideas. Break down long form to short form
⦾ Record yourself, transcribe it and let AI re-format it to content
⦾ Use it as a writing mentor, not a ghostwriter
These tips alone save me 5+ hours every week.

The inner workings of AI is a mystery.
Even though it has become a part of most people's lives we still don't fully understand it.
But a recent Anthropic study finally shed some light on this mystery.

Mymind
There's no shortage of second brain apps boasting their many features.
But Mymind takes the opposite approach.
It instead goes for minimalist functionality and a simple clean design.
This approach to knowledge management calms MY mind and is why I love using it.

Zen Browser
There are many great browsers out there.
But most of the leave a lot to be desired in the design department.
Up until finding Zen, Arc was my favorite.
Zen is like Arc, but only better and has a slightly cleaner design.
Love it!

Think of your AI workflow in 3 key components:
1. Client: The LLM making requests
2. Protocol: The standardized communication method
3. Server: The tool/service being accessed
The second step is where MCPs create a unified language for AI-tool interaction.

MCPs are revolutionising the way AI agents interact with external tools.
Think of them as universal translators between LLMs and the tools they need to be truly useful.

Turning 40 today.
To all the young guys, I can assure you life doesn’t end here.
In fact, I’ve never felt better.
As long as you take care of yourself and work on things you love everyday it’s all good.

My biggest personal growth hack:
Leaving my hometown.
Staying put keeps you stuck in old stories and outdated identities.
New city = Fresh start = Improved confidence.
Feeling stuck?
Move.
Even temporarily. It could transform your entire life.
