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?

February 06, 2026 I’ve been interested for a long time in the idea of soft skills. I even helped produce a podcast focused on this called Skilled by Design. Tom Bay has done a lot of work in this arena. As has Seth Godin. I recently found Dr. Marvin Berkowitz’s book PRIMED for Character Education: Six Design Principles for School Improvement to have the best definition, and one that I will adopt and use frequently. I only wish I had come up with it. I use the notions of organic vs. mechanical...

February 06, 2026 Hi Reader, I’ve got some exciting news — and a quick favor to ask.

Each workshop blends real-world...
