AI After Hours
What happens after we shut down our devices—
but AI sticks around?
AI doesn't have to be open on our laptops to change how we think. Every instant answer, shortcut, and genius hack changes how much uncertainty we're willing to tolerate—and how quickly we expect answers to show up.
AI After Hours takes a funny, provocative look at what happens to curiosity, judgment, patience, and human connection when the machines get faster and we start expecting ourselves to keep up.

Why putting pen to paper still matters

Write UP! makes the case for writing as the most underappreciated leadership skill—a back-to-basics practice for following a train of thought, getting back into our bodies, and making better decisions under pressure.

That explains a lot.
