I’ll be posting #AI and #FutureofWork content, along with stuff about my dog, my garden, scuba diving, reversing my #Osteoporosis diagnosis – and the occasional rant (those are THE MOST fun!)  I hope to make it fun, […]

I am not a fan of Microsoft in any way, shape or form. I don’t use it unless I absolutely have to. Having said that, I understand why a lot of my clients do use it. I’ve had to wrap my head around how to use Copilot to teach Copilot. Here’s the first of four

Something shifted in Australia a few months ago. It’s like the whole country woke up one morning, looked at AI, and said: “Right — I need to pay attention to this.” And honestly? It’s fantastic to watch. I’ve been writing Everyday AI almost every week for about a year now. We’ve covered a lot of

I was on the Today Show last Saturday talking about exactly that – and the numbers might surprise you.
