Hi everyone, I want to share something that’s been on my mind.

Over the past year, I’ve been helping SME owners as they figure out how to navigate AI’s rapid evolution. And lately, something has become really clear to me:

There’s a wide spectrum of AI adeptness—and where you fall on it makes a huge difference in how much value you’re getting from these tools.

I’ve seen five distinct levels emerge, and once you know where you stand, it becomes way easier to understand what you need to learn next.

I’m giving a free 30-minute Zoom session with small business leaders this Wednesday, Feb 12 at noon PST to walk through these five levels and what it takes to move up the curve.

If this resonates with you, feel free to join.

Cheers,
Sam

AI is transforming how leaders think, plan, and deliver results. But to thrive in today’s fast-changing world, you need more than just tools—you need the mindset and approach to harness AI as your strategic thought partner. By the end of this 30-minute session, you’ll know how to: ✅ Identify...

As you may have noticed, an 'AI Divide' is rapidly emerging.

It's a growing gap between those who use AI adeptly—achieving extraordinary levels of productivity, creativity, and strategic thinking—and those who feel left behind, unsure of how to keep up.

This is something I’ve come to perceive firsthand after helping train and coach over 400 individuals to climb the AI learning curve over the past couple of years.

During this journey, I’ve witnessed a spectrum of emotions:

- A musician, amazed by AI's ability to generate a new song in the style of Bob Dylan about her cat.

- An elderly screenplay writer, scared to death about AI's potential to eliminate his means of employment.

- A small business owner, jazzed about AI serving as her thought partner.

But what’s most striking is the divergence in capabilities I’ve seen. Between those who are AI-adept and those who aren’t, the differential can be staggering—seemingly a factor of 2X or more.

This divide isn’t just about technical know-how; it’s about mindset and habits.

And here’s the thing: It’s hard to have a clear sense of where you stand on this spectrum.

That’s why I’ve created the AI Adeptness Assessment—a quick, 20-question tool that helps you evaluate your AI-related mindset, skills, and habits. In just 2 minutes, you’ll get a personalized report illuminating your AI strengths and areas for growth.
