I absolutely love where I live, but my balcony is not a place I spend any time because it's gross. One downside to living in a penthouse is there is a lot bird poop from the birds that perch in the roof. So I decided as a birthday gift to myself to get the balcony cleaned up and give it a makeover! I used AI to help redesign the space, research items in my budget and render out visuals of the designs as they progressed. It only took a few hours from start to finish when I ordered new flooring, a divider, plant pots, and a furniture set. I'm on my way to B&Q now to grab plants and then we will see how it turns out. AI can help you do amazing things, but in this case, it's just a balcony :) I hope you're having a lovely weekend! Architect Anna

I published Season 2 Episode 10 of my podcast today about making your goals non-negotiable and honestly… I needed that reminder myself. The last couple of weeks have been a bit all over the place. Recovery from surgery, trying to get back to work, rebuilding routines, creating new partnerships, exhaustion, overthinking, all of it. And if I’m being totally honest, I’ve slipped a bit with posting every single day. After posting consistently for over 18 months, not posting every day has sort of knocked my confidence in myself. So when listening to this weeks episode it actually snapped my resolve back into place and I have recommitted to my non-negotiable of posting daily on social media. It helped me remember why I started all of this in the first place and what building daily consistency really means for my business and my long term goals. Sometimes it can feel pointless to do so much work and not see instant results, but instant results are almost never the way. The opportunities are still coming in, things are still happening in their own time and this is definitely not the moment to slow down or disappear. Life happens sometimes, you slip, you get tired, you forget why you started and you lose momentum for a minute. But the important thing is getting back on track instead of pretending you never fell off. So yeah… this is me getting back on track. And if you’re feeling a bit disconnected from your goals recently too, maybe Episode 10 will help you as much as it helped me today.

Well, I'm not sure how you spent your weekend, but I'm hoping it was a bit more chill than mine 😅 Full transparency, sometimes as an AI trainer I get booked to do work through other companies discussing a tool or topic that I have never done before. There is always a first time for everything. It is not the ideal situation and I would never sell something for myself that I was not 100% confident in, but in the world of AI things are moving so quickly and if you work with other companies that are selling the latest training it does happen. What that means is that you have to upskill super quickly so that you can deliver the information clearly and confidently to others. Of course that is a great way to learn really fast, but under a lot pressure, which can be stressful. And this has happened ever since I started freelancing as an AI trainer. Again, not ideal. But unlike someone who is just getting started with AI trying to upskill in a new tool or system, I have three years of knowledge to fill in the gaps and filter out what is and isn't useful for the audience I'm training to. The most recent case of this happening involved Claude Cowork and I guess N8N, both of which I had never tested before last week. THE PROBLEM My computer wouldn't allow me to access Claude Cowork 🫣so in the last week, including my whole Saturday and part of Sunday I was troubleshooting on my laptop to try to get it to work. Well over 10 hours of work and in the end I also had to spend £119 for a new Microsoft windows key, as well as resetting my entire computer. But I now have Claude Cowork working on my laptop ahead of my training next week. Massive relief! You can learn about AI tools through training and youtube videos, articles, blogs etc, but until you actually get your hands on it and test it out yourself, it's hard to fully understand it and teach it well. Now I'm trying to take all the complexity of these tools, create useful examples for my training as well as stories and metaphors to help others learn. As an AI trainer you really do have to learn the hard way to make it easier for others in a lot of cases and sometimes you have to learn that very last minute.

Hi. Just finished watching episode 1 and 2, Anna. Super useful. Health hasn’t been great recently so motivation has dipped. So, taking action now after watching episode 2! I have been building my website in Claude and transferring all the chats to Claude Code now. I will let you know when I’m done!! No pressure 😅😂

Good morning. I hope you’re well? Quick question: Your audio sounds amazing on the Podcast, which mic and interface are you using? And what are you filming with?
