Live April Events!

I'm doing two live events this month, and I invite you to join one or both of them.

AI Leader Office Hours

Come join us for special office hours with Lisa Parry from South Dakota. She's got some great stuff to share, and of course, we will take your questions and comments.

Plus, I've got a cool tool to share with you that just blew my mind when I discovered it the other day.

So many AI tools are either basic chat interfaces or highly complex developer environments.

I don't like that. So this one, Hunch, is pretty awesome, it allows you to create a workflow for repetitive tasks. Want to give feedback to a piece of writing in a specific way? All you have to do is upload it and voila, it's done.

Tuesday, April 15th at 1 pm Pacific. RSVP Here.

Big Impact Mixer

The Big Impact Mixer is a monthly get together for people who are wanting to make a big impact.

Last month, Aaron shared how to review how well your social posts are doing, and I got 36K impressions on my content this last weekend.

I tapped into a group where I knew they were and saw my posts get liked, shared, and commented on.

Thursday, April 17 at 10 am pacific. RSVP Here.

See you soon,
Jethro

P.S. Do you like my new template? It's pretty, isn't it?

August 29, 2025 Hi , I felt like an idiot. I’ve been using AI for years, but this week I took an assessment on how well I can use AI. It was humbling to say the least. The challenges were very technical, included word games, outputting things just right, and process/flow charts. Man, it was tough. It was a timed test, and I never got the first question right. I had to skip it and come back later, which I did, and I’m glad I did because I still couldn’t figure out how to get it to format it...

August 29, 2025 Hi Reader, I'm excited to announce we have two new podcasts on the BE Podcast Network. Improving Education Today: The Deep Dive You've probably heard of AI tools to create content. The eternal problem will always be, garbage in-garbage out, which means if you start with something low quality, you'll get low quality out the other side. Dr. Howie Knoff has been doing just the opposite, creating high quality articles and turning those into meaningful podcasts with AI Educators...
