Mikey’s Resource Roundup: AI for presentations, Better comms for managers & a Brad Pitt throwback.
In this short n sweet episode, Mikey clues us in to the Presentation Thinking beat with an article he just read, a course he just took and—naturally—one of his favorite movie clips of all time.
This is a Spice Cabinet-esque episode that’s chock-full of goodies on how AI can best help to create powerful presentations, professional education greatness from West Kao and a throwback movie clip on the importance of the process via 1992’s favorite Brad Pitt film, A River Runs Through It.
“In order to be clear in our communication or clear in our writing, you must be clear in your thinking.” —Wes Kao
This is an episode for: anyone that designs presentations, folks looking to integrate AI, managers looking to improve comms and 90s films fans.

One of Mikey’s favorite movie clips
You know the scene where Norman gets his paper edited further and further down to a quarter of its original length by his dad? Mikey says: “ To me, it highlights that importance of process and skill and craft and brevity, you know, and clarity. This stuff doesn't just happen.”
