Episode Details

This week I talk about why writing with AI isn't the same as using a calculator for math — financier Stanley Druckenmiller defended his AI-written WSJ critique of Scott Bessent by calling it "using a calculator," and I break down why that misunderstands math, calculators, and words.

Then the unraveling of Ashley Flowers' true-crime podcast empire, and what a founder pulling 3 a.m. alarms on weekends and holidays has to teach any solopreneur who thinks no one else can do the work, plus a recommendation for Epic Rap Battles of History's new Tom Cruise vs. Evel Knievel on YouTube.

Plus this week's systems tip: why the Stream Deck runs my entire show.

These episodes are about taking more time off — especially on the weekends. The best way you can do that is by having a good system.
