If you’re a founder or operator, you’ve probably felt it: the AI news cycle never stops. New tools, new launches, new hot takes every day. The truth is, you don’t need to keep up with everything. You just need a filter. Here’s how I build mine, and how you can too.
3–4 Key Takeaways (condensed from LinkedIn):
- Follow the Right People, Not Everyone.
Thoughtful leaders like Liza Adams, Andy Crestodina, Christopher Penn, and Ethan Mollick share practical, strategy-first insights instead of hype. - Curate Your Listening.
I rely on podcasts like Marketing AI Institute’s show to distill what matters for marketers and operators without drowning in the technical weeds. - Make Newsletters Work for You.
SmarterX and Almost Timely News are two examples that consistently translate breaking AI news into actionable context for business leaders. - Find Local (or Virtual) Communities.
For me, groups like Rocky Mountain AI Interest Group and Women in AI Colorado keep me grounded and challenged. Wherever you are, there’s likely a peer community worth tapping into.
The trick isn’t to consume more, it’s to curate better. Each month, I check in with my sources, spot the patterns, and ask one question: what does this mean for early-stage founders and marketing leaders? That filter keeps me focused on the signal, not the noise.
