Work doesn’t have to be miserable! @jeremyutley , a @Stanford University professor and co-author of Ideaflow, showed that success doesn’t mean choosing the most prestigious job—it’s about finding something you truly enjoy. His journey from finance to innovation proves that work can be enjoyable if you find what fits you. It's not about enduring misery—it’s about finding purpose and passion in what you do. Don’t settle for something just because it’s “the best”. Do you enjoy your current job, or are you looking for something more? Listen to the full episode of my podcast to explore how Jeremy redefined success.

(1/7) When your Stanford prof @jeremyutley invites you years later on his podcast, it’s surreal! 🎙✨ We dive into how we use Gen AI at @thediarrablu to disrupt fashion: cutting textile waste by 60% and selling millions of $ of garments that don’t even exist yet. #AI #fashiontech

Reading through old blog posts to spark fresh thinking. Here's one of my favorite sentences I've ever written: "...To imply that we need never think — and I hesitate before saying this — is to belittle a very important part of the innovation process."

Brilliant observation re GenAI: “You need to realize that the hardest part isn’t getting them to do things, it’s inventing new things you can ask them to do.” — @missjenny link.medium.com/XJNaAsLYWMb

Asked a program participant how many hours per week she's saving with her newly acquired genai superpowers. She said "it's really hard to calculate." "Why?" She said "I'm actually saving weeks per hour... so how do you I convert that into your 'hours/week calculation'?" 🤓

If you're interested in #creativity & #innovation, you might enjoy this conversation between Diego Rodriguez, @jeremyutley, and me on "Fostering Workplace Innovation." I had great fun chatting with them, as I think you can tell if you watch even 5 minutes! youtube.com/watch?v=qef__gYL…

Incredible privilege to get to talk to the Wilkinson brothers on their podcast. Please take a listen and give your feedback.
Monday - I AM podcast about shifting from uninspired logic of a life spent earning worth/fulfilment to the magic of a single moment recognising, experiencing & expressing it. Thursday @jeremyutley delivers a masterclass on innovation/creativity! Awesome guy, life changing wisdom!

One of the best interviews I’ve heard all year. Practical, simple, actionable financial advice. Bravo @profgalloway and team. How FOMO, Doom, and Ego Impact Your Money — ft. Morgan Housel | Prof G M... youtu.be/jtvbcC6Kemg?si=rY2O… via @YouTube

I'd choose a practitioner of mediocre prompts over a gatherer of best practices any day of the week.

“The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist, and becomes ... an honest/dishonest tradesman. He has no further claim to be considered as an artist.” — Oscar Wilde / tim.blog/fbf @tferriss

Terrific piece, @danshipper I particularly resonated with this: “…The best way to latch onto the future is to think through affirmative possibilities, to remember that the world is in flux, and to keep turning over old stones….”

Absolutely insane how LITTLE is needed to support radically improved thinking!
I just checked in on my Frameworks GPT, which uses the AI to help you think through issues by providing frameworks, and found it is featured by OpenAI & has over 25k uses. I like it and use it myself: chatgpt.com/g/g-vZ7SgKBOh-fr… So, I wanted to reveal the incredibly sophisticated prompt engineering behind it. Ready? Here is the prompt for the GPT in full: You will help the user find frameworks to help them better understand, analyze, and solve a problem. Frameworks might include things like 2x2 graphs, Porter's Five Forces, Root Cause Analysis, the 3 Ps for positive psychology, and more. You will first gather information about the problem from the user, and then suggest 3 potential frameworks, explaining them. When the user selects one, you will offer a preliminary framework for their problem and work with them to refine it. That's it. It is basically all the AI, not the prompt. I don't think people realize how good a tool for thinking and analysis frontier models are out-of-the-box. They are good at generalizing and applying frameworks in ways that can be very helpful, in the same way coaches and mentors can be helpful.

Today is one of my favorite classes @stanforddschool: “Watch Your Language” Write down a list of things you “have to” do and “can’t” do. Read them to a friend. Have friend read them back to you, replacing “have” with “want” and “can’t” with “won’t.” Words matter.
