Today, Jason shares a question that's been stuck on his mind: if someone uses AI in their work, does that signal that they’re not good at it? In other words: does use of AI indicate a lack of natural competency or skill? To get some answers (and maybe even permission to use AI in his own work!), Jason calls up storyteller and AI strategist Taryn Southern. Together, Jason and Taryn explore whether it's time to embrace AI openly in o...

Today, Jason wants to help you embrace endings. He’ll give you three questions to ask yourself — and after you do, you may find yourself feeling lighter and freer. And ...
