How to use GenAI to create and review content
The value of showing up every day (this will post every morning)
Basics of marketing and branding (Iâll be learning this one right alongside them)
Playing with data (once we have more subscribers⌠cue my nerd moment)

Our goal is to give you the full pictureâwhat's happening, how itâs being spun, and where different sides standâso youâre informed quickly and clearly. No rants, no rabbit holes.
