I'm starting a new podcast, with my good friend David Sparks, on using AI to become more productive! It's called Intentional AI, and it's available wherever you get your podcasts. It's published by the terrific Relay podcast network. Our first episode is out now!
Just a few weeks ago, I wrote about how I'm sick of hearing about how AI is going to change the world—but yet find myself using it constantly. Few people seem to want to help us actually become more productive using AI. There's so much doom and hype (and noise) out there, and not to mention news about how this technology is disrupting and changing basically every part of our life. My reaction has always been: “Okay.. this is both terrifying and exciting. But how can I actually use AI to get real work done today?”
There's a massive first-mover advantage with this stuff—including for using it to become more productive. The key is to use it intentionally.
That's what you can expect out of the show–practical, tactical guidance for intentionally using AI. We'll also be talking about:
• Tactical, productivity-focused AI advice that you can immediately put into practice;
• How to use AI to do work that is more human, not just AI-generated slop;
• Just enough news about AI so you can stay in the loop about what affects you.
We're also making a video version for YouTube! Here's the first episode (I need to get better at looking at the camera as we record 😂):

My cohost, David Sparks, is a very good friend of mine. David's a former lawyer who writes about technology full-time. He co-hosts the popular Mac Power Users and Focused podcasts, and he's genuinely one of the most thoughtful commentators out there about how technology affects our lives. He's also an incredible communicator on how we can actually use technology to our advantage. I'm excited to learn from him on this journey as well! He'll bring the tech, I'll bring the productivity—though each of us is obsessed with both!
I hope you'll join us in the first episode 🙂 Here's the link!
