Hey beautiful human -

Last week, I ran two live sessions of AI Confidential.

They were free, beginner-friendly, and deeply imperfect.

Here’s the truth:

• I was nervous.
• I talked too fast.
• I packed in more than I could realistically cover.

And I forgot that silence isn’t awkward - it’s necessary when people are learning something new.

But here’s the other truth:

• People showed up.
• They asked questions.
• They told me what helped.
• And they were honest about what didn’t.

​
Here’s what you told me worked:

– Clear explanation of the top 3 tools

– Seeing demos in real time

– Entry-level approach

– My enthusiasm (thank you for that)

– The interaction

​
Here’s what you said needed work:

– Pace (too fast at the end)

– Confusion between phone vs. web versions

– Not everyone was logged into ChatGPT ahead of time

– More structured examples

– Space to pause and think

– Permission to not rush

I heard every word. And I’m not defensive about it - I’m grateful.

Because this is how I want to build: openly, iteratively, and without pretending I’ve got it all nailed down.

I’m going to keep testing and improving.

I’m also going to be clearer about what to expect before each session - so you’re not scrambling to log in or figure out which version I’m using.

Most importantly: I want this to be a resource for you.

So if you have a question about AI - anything at all - hit reply and ask.

If I don’t know the answer, I’ll find someone who does.

No judgment. No jargon. No sales pitch.

And as always - you can unsubscribe any time. No guilt trip. No drama. (Just a thank-you for being here this far.)

​
Still learning. Still building. Still mostly human.
