Hey friends,
Twenty episodes in. Twenty weeks in your inbox.
That still feels wild to say.
Firstly, thank you for trusting me with your time. My goal is to be the go to AI creator educator and I have a long way to go.
What started as a small weekly note to share what I was learning has become a steady practice of building in public—testing ideas, simplifying AI for non‑technical folks, and documenting what actually helps.
Today’s issue is a reflective roundup: 3 categories, 2 issues each.
These are the ones I keep returning to, and the ones readers say saved time or sparked momentum.
Skim the summaries.
Revisit what you missed.
Most importantly, try the small actions under each lesson.
P.S. This week I’m testing a new workflow for writing this newsletter. Hint: It starts with Notion and ends in AI. So let me know what you think 👀

🫡 Final Reflection
Twenty episodes is less about volume and more about momentum.
What’s changed for us isn’t just better tools, it’s better thinking.
Clearer prompts. Solid experiments. Systems that help AI work for us.
Thanks for reading, replying, and sharing.
This has been a journey of learning, growing, and impacting together.
If you know anyone that would like to apply AI in their work, it would make my day if you sent them my sign up page here.
To the next 20.
