Using Claude Cowork
Most AI tools need constant back-and-forth—ask a question, get a reply, repeat. Claude Cowork doesn't work like that. You give it a clear task, and it figures out the steps, gets to work, and delivers results—while you move on to something else.
Need a customer dashboard? It'll build one and write your marketing copy to go with it. Want YouTube strategy ideas? Done. Need to clean up a messy folder full of random files? It reads and renames them for you—no manual digging required.
Rick Mulready show you how to connect Claude to your tools like Notion, Gmail, and Slack through Zapier, so it does real work inside your business, not just inside a chat window. Watch more here.

Becoming AI Ready: How to Creatively Secure Your Future
Before implementing AI readiness, you need to understand what Kyle calls "aching gaps"—the fears and concerns about your professional future.
An aching gap is the anxiety you feel when you imagine losing your job. It's the fear that keeps you awake at night, wondering if you'll become obsolete. These gaps represent the distance between where you are now and where you need to be to feel secure in an AI-powered world.
The good news is there's a structured approach to closing these gaps. Kyle developed a three-phase cycle called Play First, Create Excellence, and Generously Lead. This framework provides a clear path forward regardless of your current skill level or industry.
The cycle is designed to be iterative—you continuously move through these phases, each time raising your capabilities and securing your position.
Play First to Build Your Foundation
The first phase focuses on exploration and discovery through purposeful experimentation.
A daily AI practice is more than just a habit—it's a centering ritual that helps you clarify what you want and who you want to become.
Kyle recommends starting each day by asking yourself what you want to accomplish and what you want to contribute to the world. This reflection grounds your AI exploration in purpose rather than letting you drift aimlessly through features and capabilities.
The practice should happen consistently at the same time each day. This regularity builds momentum and prevents AI work from getting pushed aside by other priorities.
Play With Purpose
Random experimentation has limited value. Purposeful play means directing your exploration toward specific goals and challenges.
Kyle describes Jim Ross, who works in the self-storage business—not digital storage, but the physical world of cardboard boxes and garage doors. Jim established a daily AI practice using a Pomodoro timer. Every morning over coffee, he sets a one-hour timer and works with AI tools for his business.
One evening, Jim joined Kyle's AI Learning Lab live-stream, where Kyle was teaching how to create songs with Suno, an AI music generation tool. Jim had met with a prospective client just four hours earlier. He knew their name, their business, and what they were trying to accomplish.
While watching the tutorial, Jim had ChatGPT write personalized lyrics incorporating the client's information and goals. He then used Suno to generate a complete song from those lyrics. He sent the song to the client immediately.
Within five minutes, the client responded: "You got the job."
Jim closed the deal by learning across domains and applying a seemingly frivolous skill—AI-generated song creation—to his self-storage business. The client recognized the intention and effort behind such a personalized gesture. To them, it didn't make sense that someone could write a song that fast and that personalized, which made the gesture even more memorable.
Jim continues this daily practice, sometimes working on specific business needs and sometimes just experimenting and playing. He never knows exactly what he'll do during his hour, but consistent practice continuously builds his AI capabilities.
Learn Across Domains
AI readiness requires borrowing insights and approaches from fields outside your expertise.
Traditional career development often meant deep specialization in a single domain. AI readiness flips this model. The most valuable professionals will be those who can connect ideas across different disciplines and apply insights from one field to solve problems in another.
Kyle encourages deliberately exposing yourself to domains you know nothing about. If you're a marketer, study how scientists approach research. If you're a designer, explore how engineers solve problems. Use AI to help you understand these foreign domains and identify transferable principles.
This cross-domain learning makes you adaptable. When your industry shifts—and it will—you'll have mental models and approaches from other fields to draw upon.

ChatGPT Begins Testing Ads: OpenAI is testing ads within ChatGPT's Free and Go tiers, introducing sponsored content that appears separately from AI responses and does not affect answers. Ads are shown based on chat topics and past interactions, with strict safeguards: no advertiser access to chats, no ads near sensitive content, and full control for users over personalization and ad data. Aimed at funding broader access and new features, the pilot opens a new channel for businesses to connect with users during high-intent moments in conversation. OpenAI
OpenAI Introduces Trusted Access for High-Risk Cyber Use: To balance cybersecurity innovation and safety, OpenAI is implementing a trust-based access system for high-risk cyber capabilities in GPT-5.3-Codex.
