And I'm Paul Gowder, and this is the show that keeps you up to date on what's happening in the world of the creator economy and so much more.
Our guest today is Mike Schmidt, the founder of Practical PKM, co-host of the Focuses and Bookworm podcast, and the creator of Life HQ, a done-for-you obsidian vault, which I really want to hear more about.
that no machine can replace.
I need to go read that book, too, because when I first started photography, I struggled with that same thing.
It's like every photo I take is just a copy of somebody else's.
But so that's a great idea.
In the Made with Love and AI, you argue that labor, though, was never the part that was ours, the typing, the drafting and all the busy work.
And that is freeing, but a little terrifying.
So what is it that in this whole product, what is ours and how do we protect and make sure that we keep doing what is the thing that makes us us?
Yeah, I think that's totally true.
And you have a role that you love.
And I think this is so important for a lot of people because they get stuck on this part.
But
You say that, you know, point your AI at your own material for connection.
It's not a blank page for generation.
So, yeah, explain that a little bit more and why that's, you know, people gets caught in that trap of just starting with a blank page instead of their own work.
Yeah, yeah, great points.
All right, with all of that being said, I am curious about this.
Is there a part of your process, your writing or whatever else that you don't let AI into?
yeah right so for somebody like me i've heard of second brain and jeff talks about it all the time and i want to get started so like how do we actually do that and then how do we go about like how does it change how we're thinking and how do we use it on a daily basis
