The jump from AI prompting to AI building is massive. Up until now, I was spending hours every day in ChatGPT and Claude doing prompt-heavy work around recruiting, forecasting, and pipeline inspection. Now I’m building with it. Here’s a sanitized example of something I built last weekend. Replacing a traditional meeting deck with an interactive customer meeting brief. Instead of moving slide by slide (that is so 1987), the rep can guide the conversation through discovery prompts, fit discussion, FAQs, and demo handoff in a more dynamic web-style experience. It also helps create more consistent customer conversations around discovery, qualification, and messaging. The shift from asking AI questions to building repeatable workflows is a game-changer.

This post was written by Claude. Every word. I spent an hour feeding it things I've written, asking it to find patterns. Sentence length, structure, words I never use. We built 25 rules together. Then I asked it to write as me. The best use of AI I've found so far is teaching it to not sound like AI. #AI #ContentStrategy #Authenticity Now it is me writing: Does it sounds like Claude thinks this is the best use I have put to it, or is it just me being defensive?

𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲? It starts with the team... through INSPIRATION!✨ Last week I wrote about our AI Native transformation. A lot of people asked for specific tips. I (still) don't have all the answers, but here's one I'm sure about: Every single person on the team needs to become an "𝗔𝗜 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰" 🤩 AI usage has an 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘯. There's a point of savviness where, once you cross it, it's hard NOT to be a fanatic. Some people get there on their own. Others need this little push of inspiration to get there and see what they can do with AI beyond basic use cases. So I built an internal training. Started with this deck. 30 minutes walking the team through how disruptive this revolution is, why they HAVE to get onboard, and how to do it. Followed by 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 of what people built. You'd be surprised how effective this is. Seeing the insanely useful things someone built in a few hours is often the trigger to start heading toward the 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘯. Going forward: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 💡 A place for people to brag about their AI achievements. A skill they built. A system they created. A new design they came up with. It's easy. Everybody who creates something amazing with AI *loves* to brag about it. And it helps everybody else get ideas and see how easy it can be. That's my tip for this week. More to come.

CEOs are saying AI isn't delivering productivity gains. I'm not surprised. I talk to enterprise leaders every week. The pattern is always the same. Dozens of AI projects running, growing license spend, and when I ask what changed in the P&L, silence. One design partner told me last month they had 14 AI initiatives active. Not one had a defined financial outcome attached to it. Fourteen experiments, zero accountability. The problem isn't AI. It's that we're measuring activity, not impact. Projects launched is not a KPI. Licenses purchased is not a KPI. The CFO doesn't care how many pilots you're running. Are you tracking AI impact by projects launched, by cost reduced, or by revenue actually moved? #EnterpriseAI #AIROI #AIStrategy #AIAdoption

$50 for a charging cable? 😡 𝗜 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗡𝗢𝗧 Better spend a weekend (and $30) on parts instead... A few months ago I got a great new Suunto Nautic dive computer. It came with a proprietary charging cable. For something mission-critical I always carry 2 spares, but Suunto wants $50 each for a simple cable. No chip, no electronics. Just a cable. So I decided to build one myself! The challenge: unlike normal magnetic watch chargers (separate charging pins + latching magnets), this design uses the magnets as BOTH the charging contacts and the latch. Soldering directly to the magnets demagnetizes them, calling for a more creative approach. The solution: a "Magnet Sandwich!" 🥪 Two magnets stacked, with the USB wire pressed between them by their own magnetic force. Strengthened with silver conductive paste, wrapped in adhesive copper foil. Stepped plastic shroud with some superglue holds the geometry. Finally - shrink wrap on cable for strain relief and epoxy potting for waterproofing & structure. It works perfectly! Tested at 0.5A/2.5W - identical to the original (top right photo: original vs mine). The epoxy isn't very pretty (mold did not hold well), but it charges and latches as good as the original. Was saving $70 worth a weekend? Probably not. Was it fun and did I learn things? Absolutely. Like most DIY: not cost-effective, but no regrets.
