🤖 AIl about AI

AI will genuinely impact our world - what that impact looks like is up to us, so learning about its limitations and possibilities is essential. I’m enrolled in Google Cloud’s ‘Introduction to Generative AI Learning Path’ and have completed DeepLearning.AI’s ‘AI for Everyone’ and IBM’s ‘AI Fundamentals’ courses.

🧘‍♀️ How to meditate… well-ish

Meditation is more challenging than I thought, but the 10% Happier App has made the journey easier!

I’m Listening to…

🧠 Marketplace’s Make Me Smart Podcast

This is my “walk my dog after work” podcast. Kai Ryssdal and Kimberly Adams fill me in on all the daily economic, tech, and culture headlines. Catch an episode here.

🎧 Vox Media’s Pivot Podcast

Twice a week, I listen to tech journalist Kara Swisher and NYU Professor Scott Galloway dive into all the big headlines in tech, pop culture, business, and politics. Listen in, too, but fair warning that the hosts can get a little spicy.

🤯 Bloomberg’s Foundering Podcast - Season 2: The TikTok Story

This was so good that I'm listening to it for a second time. The series dives into TikTok's origin and how and why it gained popularity. Understanding the platform's rise is especially interesting now that the app's fate is in limbo again. Listen here.

🤓 Morning Brew’s Video Strategy

Morning Brew is more than an addictive daily news email; their social strategy for video is on point, too. TLDR: It’s really simple—they believe social videos should be “social.”

🌎 NASA’s Live Video Stream from the ISS

Because of all the planets in our solar system, my absolute favorite is Earth. Watch here.

I’m Reading…

🦍 Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow

I heard about (the late and great) Danny Kahneman on Dax Shepherd’s Armchair Expert podcast and have since devoured several more interviews with him. Kahneman breaks down the human mind to help explain our decision-making process. I’ve just started reading Thinking Fast and Slow, and so far, I have loved learning more about focus and the ‘Invisible Gorilla’ theory. 

👀 Social Media, Marketing, and AI Newsletters

Too many to count! Some of my favorite weekly emails come from Future Social, Link in Bio, Daily Carnage, The Neuron, and TLDR Marketing / TLDR AI.

I’m Following…

👾 Allie K Miller

A seriously cool AI advisor. I enjoy the array of content formats she uses to break down AI concepts for a broad audience. Extra props for how she shines a light on and amplifies others doing interesting things in tech, too. Follow her!

📹 Jon Youshaei

Youshaei shares good insights on content creation that he learned while working at Instagram and YouTube. Check out one of my favorite videos where he describes his ‘Corden, not Colbert’ strategy.

I’m obsessing over…

🔮 Ask Dalí

Such a simple but smart use of AI.
Trained using a variety of Salvador Dalí’s writings and archival audio, this art installation is high on my bucket list.

🪩 A “scrollytelling” story on how Gen Z broke the marketing funnel

I love a good scroll + storytelling format. This one created by Vogue Business does not disappoint.
