This Week: Guest Post from Brice Challamel , Head of AI Strategy and Adoption at OpenAI — If AI can draft the memo, build the deck, and prototype the product, what exactly is the professional's contribution? Brice says it's not "less" — it's "different." Read his case for the shift from authorship to stewardship.

A 40% quality boost, available to anyone. Taken up by fewer than 3% of the workforce (and that number is going down, not up). At Wharton this week, I accidentally said the thing that explains why.

AI can make you 100x more productive at work, and make being present at home feel 100x more expensive. That tension isn’t just personal weakness. It’s a new economic reality.

I'd been stuck for weeks — not because the technology wasn't available, but because I hadn't thought to ask. I've started calling these 'wherewithal moments.' They're hard to manufacture. But they compound.

AI adoption is plateauing. I analyzed 5,000 anonymous survey responses looking for the culprit. I found it. And it's not what I expected.

Most teams think they need more AI training. What they actually need is a loop: a reason to share, experiment, and learn in public. Here’s how to build that culture—one commitment at a time.

AI can do almost anything you ask—faster and better than you imagined. But it will never do the one thing that makes you irreplaceable. Here, I share how a piece of career-saving advice from my dad, a billion-dollar insight from Sam Altman, and lessons from leaders like Meta’s Josh To reveal the skill that keeps you indispensable in an “agentic” era.

A recent study by American Management Association revealed that 58% of professionals feel "behind" in their AI adoption journey. While most folks know me as "the Beyond the Prompt guy," here's what you might not know: I struggle with this stuff too.

Still waiting on other people before you tap AI? Big mistake. This post exposes the silent tax of “AI inaction,” hands you the five‑rung ladder for turning any model into your on‑call mentor, and launches a seven‑day sprint that will hard‑wire the habit—so you can seize the advantage while everyone else is still scheduling meetings.

Behold the great AI measurement delusion: Organizations tracking usage metrics are missing the only thing that matters—impact.

More use isn't better use. Better use is better use.

Deeply practical guest post by former NCAA and NFL punter, now tech executive, Zoltán Meskó. I met Zoltán at Stanford’s annual Campbell Trophy Summit last summer, and he stayed in touch, telling me all the cool stuff he was trying - check out how AI is changing the way he works.

"I don't really have any pain points to automate," a CEO told me during an AI workshop last week. "I don't do repetitive work like other people in the company do."

Then he mentioned how he spends six hours manually editing every report his team sends him… I had to stop him right there.

There’s only one right answer to the question, “Did AI help with this?” The shift to an AI-first mindset isn't just about saving time. It's about recognizing a fundamental truth: AI isn't a tool you might want to use. It's an amplifier you'd be reckless not to use.

Learning to work with AI isn’t really a technical challenge. It’s a human behavior change effort. AI skill building is about far more than learning new tools. It’s about unlearning old ways of working.

AI is transforming industries. Designers are compressing month-long workflows into minutes. Scientists are using AI to condense years of research into days. But what about decades into minutes? Meet Adam. He doesn’t have a LinkedIn account. But in 45 minutes, he built an AI tool that'll save his organization thousands of days of work every year.

Growth mindset expert Diane Flynn shares insights and advice for a more experienced generation of workers who might feel somewhat hesitant to embrace the collaborative superpowers of GenAI.

Right now, in boardrooms and Slack channels across the globe, leaders are inadvertently creating a culture of AI shame. They're reinforcing the very hesitation they should be helping their teams overcome. It's time for an intervention.

You’re probably getting fat on AI content: bingeing podcasts, hoarding newsletter tips, saving Twitter threads... While it feels productive, all that consumption is just giving you a knowledge sugar high. And like any sugar high, it’ll crash—leaving you with exactly zero new capabilities.

NYU Chief AI Architect Conor Grennan makes a strong case for why GenAI shouldn't be an IT capability, but rather, championed by HR. He argues that the folks responsible for human behavior change need to be leading the charge.

Undisputed "Beyond the Prompt" fan favorite Jenny Nicholson drops by to share some insights from her adventures helping folks innovate with AI. Important lessons for any leader looking to unleash their teams with this transformative technology.
