Nobody is doing this… and that’s why you should!

This email will be both tactical AND a little philosophical.

So let’s dive in, shall we?


The tactical:

I’ll hear more often than not, that there is just SO MUCH information out there about [you can fill in the blank] and it’s so hard to keep up with all of it.

Yes! 100%! We live in a time where there is literally more information than we can comfortably consume. It’s just not possible. Sooo, we have to find ways to still gather the information that we really need and want to know, and disregard the rest.

You can go about this in a handful of ways, but the example that I’ll show you today is one of the best solutions right now and it’s SO simple. I’m also going to attach a link to a more technical (not TOO technical) ways that I also think is very useful.

The SUPER simple method of staying up to date on whatever it is that you want to be up to date on.

  1. Go into Claude desktop. If you don't have a Claude pro or max account, you’ll need that before you can do anything
  2. Now go into Cowork
  3. Inside Cowork, click “projects” and then “New Project”
  4. Click start from scratch an title it “weekly update on BLANK”
  5. The next window will be the prompt window. In the prompt window, drop the following:


You are my weekly [insert subject] analyst. Every Friday morning, scan [relevant subject] emails, analyze them against all other context of mine, and deliver a personalized briefing. I want to be as up to date as possible on what is happening in this industry and to be able to read this output in about 5 min. Reference all the relevant context that you already have on me and distill only the most important topics that you think I should know and be aware of.”

That prompt will get you 90% of the way there. From here, your only homework is to just subscribe to those industry emails and then let coworkers know those emails so it can go in and scrap the relevant info.

It works like a charm! This is how I stay up to date on so much related to AI. I run these scrapes weekly… sometimes daily.


For a more technical approach, this is AWESOME. And so worth it. Just a little bit more involved — LINK


Let’s get philosophical:

I’m reading “Never Enough” by Andrew Wilkinson right now. Highly recommend it. SO good!

There’s a part near the end where Andrew and his partner go pitch a bunch of millionaires and billionaires. The trip was supposed to be about raising money. But what they actually walked away with was something else entirely.

These were some of the richest people on the planet. They could buy ANYTHING. And every single one of them had the same problem.
Nothing they had was enough.

The guy with the $10 million house envied the guy with the $25 million house. The guy with yacht money was jealous of Bezos and his superyacht money.

Nobody felt like they had enough, even though they obviously did.
Andrew realized he was the same. Always chasing the next thing.

Reading this hit me because I’m at the start of that road. I just spent 10 years in a career that made me miserable. Now I’m out, on my own, doing work I love with people I love. A year ago I wouldn’t have believed I’d be here.

And of course I want more. More influence, more money, more everything. That’s natural. I’m driven.
But what is enough?

Have you actually asked yourself that lately?

I don’t have a super clean answer. But I think it starts with asking the hard questions now and reverse engineering what your “enough” looks like.

It might change over time. That’s fine. The point is that if you define it today, then later, when you get close to it, you’ll have a reminder that at one point you decided this was the goal.

Then you can step back, reassess, and pick your next move on purpose instead of just chasing.
