In this episode, I sit down with Inbal Rodnay, AI implementation expert and author of AI Magic, to walk through a practical, six-step playbook for embedding AI across a business safely, sanely, and with momentum.

In this solo walkthrough, I share my end-to-end AI study workflow, from finding credible sources to locking them into memory, using two free tools you can start with today:Perplexity.ai – the research power-house that surfaces sources and cites them.Notebook LM (Google beta) – your personal reading coach, audiobook narrator, quiz-master and mind-mapping sidekick.What you'll learnPrompt like a pro – the exact template I drop into Perplexity to get PhD-level briefs.Turn dense PDFs into podcasts – let Notebook LM read any doc aloud while you cook, drive or walk.Generate study guides & self-quizzes in seconds –spaced-repetition without the flash-card grunt-work.Visual aids & mind-mapping – why teaching the material back to yourself locks it in.A peek at where AI learning is headed next (multi-modal, voice-first, real-time).Chapters00:00 Introduction – How AI can super-charge your learning skills01:00 Perplexity.ai – Researching any topic04:56 Notebook LM – Reading, retaining & understanding information09:21 Demo: Notebook LM’s audio function10:22 Overview of other Notebook LM features14:09 Visual aids & mind-mapping14:31 The future of AI in learning16:20 “My Way or the AI Way” remix (courtesy of Mubert)Resources and LinksPerplexity.ai (free) → https://www.perplexity.aiNotebook LM (Google beta) → https://notebook.google.com/lm Huberman Lab episode on Study Protocols for learning & memory → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddq8JIMhz7c Key Take-awaysContext is king: richer prompts = richer answers.Audio + active recall beats passive reading.The Research, Reading and Revision steps are merging into one AI-assisted loop—and early adopters win.👉 Try It & Tell MePut the workflow to the test on your next big topic (exam, project, hobby) and DM me on LinkedIn: Which part saved you the most time?

I share the step-by-step process I followed to reduce my annual car-insurance premium by $472 in less than 30 minutes.After walking through the personal example, I outline how AI can also assist with more complex business negotiations, from supplier contracts to six-figure SaaS renewals.With AI as your partner, there is no excuse to go into any negotiation unprepared. Turning ChatGPT into a policy analyst – how I asked the model to review my renewal documents and highlight every potential saving.Building a like-for-like market comparison – the prompt that produced a clear table of alternative quotes from seven insurers.Preparing a concise negotiation script – the structure ChatGPT suggested for my opening request, follow-up questions, and closing statement.Implications for comparison websites – why instant, AI-driven analysis may change how we shop for insurance and other services.Simple privacy safeguards – the setting changes you should make before sharing any personal document with an LLM.Applying professional negotiation models to larger deals – mapping the process to frameworks such as Harvard Principled Negotiation, the Seven-Elements checklist and the Toulmin ModelResources and Links mentionsRuben Hassett’s LinkedIn post on three high-impact negotiation prompts: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ruben-hassid_i-never-negotiate-without-chatgpt-here-activity-7344318645918912515-_NpY My LinkedIn thread detailing this insurance exercise:https://www.linkedin.com/posts/davisonscott_lucky-im-with-ai-this-morning-my-carinsurance-activity-7342768444305567744-omww Let's continue the discussionHave you used AI to reduce a household bill or improve a business deal?

In this episode, I dive into OpenAI’s new report, “Identifying and Scaling AI Use Cases” and break its insights down into six practical buckets any business can use:Content Creation – the starting point for most of us.Research – lightning-fast competitor intel and market sizing.Coding – from dev productivity to “vibe-coding” for non-coders.Data Analysis – an on-demand data analyst in your pocket.Ideation & Strategy – my favourite AI brainstorm partner.Automations – the not-so-sexy time-saver that points straight to AI agents.Along the way, I share how I’m already using each bucket in my consulting work, plus a quick review of Gamma.app, the AI presentation builder I used to create the slides that kept this episode on track.If you’re wondering where to start with AI, or where to go next, this framework will help you spot the gaps and the opportunities.“Primitives” explained: why thinking in fundamental tasks (not job titles) makes AI adoption easier.Real-world examples for marketing, sales, product, HR and financePersonal stories of the time, money and creative boost I’m already seeing.Why automations (and soon, autonomous agents) might be the biggest win of all.References:* Gamma.app (AI Presentation builder) https://gamma.app/ * Open AI Report: https://cdn.openai.com/business-guides-and-resources/identifying-and-scaling-ai-use-cases.pdf Chapters00:00 Introduction to the six Business Use Cases for AI03:25 1.
