Episode Description from the Publisher

AI is moving fast—but are you actually using it to become more capable, or treating it like another search engine?Michael Libercci and Dr. Jake Clendenning explore the connection between productivity habits, learning styles, and practical AI adoption. Michael shares how a simple legal pad and repeated daily review have helped him gain clarity and execute more consistently. Jake explains why tactile and visual systems can work so well, then offers ways to combine handwriting, digital notes, voice recording, and AI.The discussion expands into automation, the future of work, AI-enabled professionals, and whether long-term AI certification programs can keep pace with the technology.
