    2-16-26 - AI Doesn't Make Work Easier and ChatGPT gets ads
    Feb 16 2026

    Today's episode features a conversation between myself and Ashley Coffey talking about this week's AI news. We get into a study from the Harvard Business Review indicating that AI doesn't make work any easier, it just stresses us out more - and OpenAI's ChatGPT is starting to get ads included on the lowest tiers.

    2-11-26 - Starting from Zero Followers - Strategically
    Feb 11 2026

    If you were going to start your Instagram all over from 0, what would you do? Today's strategy session features a creator who's doing this.

    Threads is launching "Dear Algo" so you can write exactly what you want to see more of, TikTok is rolling out a local feed, and YouTube is turning on captions automatically if you mute the video. Also I do Wednesday Waffle.
