Zero to AI Episode 7: The Human Side of AI Workflows 01.12.2025 11:30
We talk a lot on this show about tools. But today, we are talking about what sits underneath the tools. Today we are tackling the quiet crisis of the modern worker. Not "how do I prompt better," but questions like: How do I keep this personal when AI is doing the heavy lifting? Where do ethics actually live when I'm tired at 11 PM? And the big one: How do I keep my voice, my taste, and my creative...

You’ll ship a simple pipeline that captures leads via Google Forms, stores them in Sheets, scores them with an AI prompt, and sends a helpful, on‑brand e...

This is week two in our year journey of AI transformation and reinvention. Today, I want to talk about a video that absolutely changed how I think about work — and honestly, how I think about myself. It was a very important lesson, one where I learnt to use AI as my guide, my training partner and my enabler to deliver results. This includes a 14 day plan for you to do the same
Zero to AI Episode 2: From Certificates to Shipped Work 21.10.2025 17:51
This isn’t a dig at courses. I still think they’re important. But at some point, I realised: knowledge wasn’t the missing piece. Transfer was. I needed a way to move from knowing about AI to using AI — to build something that worked in my world. So I flipped my learning plan on its head. Instead of treating courses as the path, I started using them as fuel. I stopped optimising for certificates…...
