In the fight for time to think/breathe, I've decided to go bi-weekly with the show this year. Weekly was an intense responsibility given that I produce the show in-house.

Sometimes I join in, but today I recognised I would only have punctuated the purity of the play, so I read my book and listened in. This state of mind is so natural for kids, but we too readily surrender it and shut down ideas when we're adults. Part of my coaching work is to show ways around it.

His book 'The Anxious Generation' is incredible, and I think you'd be a valuable ally in his cause!

Says the CEO of HarperCollins on AI:

"One idea is a “talking book,” where a book sits atop a large language model, allowing readers to converse with an AI facsimile of its author."
