843. How People Are Really Using AI in 2026

AI can do almost anything now — including your thinking, if you let it. In this episode, Brian unpacks a Harvard Business Review piece by Marc Zao-Sanders that names a risk hiding inside our daily AI use: "thinkslop," the lazy thinking that creeps in when we lean on the tool too hard. You'll hear the four ways it sneaks up on you — losing track of what you actually wanted, racking up "cognitive debt," giving up the writing that sharpens your ideas, and getting flattered into quitting too early — plus why the very tasks we're tempted to hand off are the ones that make us valuable in the first place. The flip side: used right, AI makes you sharper. The key is pointing it at your thinking instead of replacing it. Treat it as a mirror, not a genie. -- Get on the list to receive Brian's monthly newsletter: https://nodaysoff.com/subscribe/ Tune in to this podcast every weekday morning for 10 minutes or less as Brian shares lessons and stories about how to make positive changes in your life and business, one day at a time.

842. The Four Letters Between You and a Bad Decision

Most of our worst decisions aren't skill problems — they're state problems. You knew better. You just weren't in a place to act on it. In this episode, Brian breaks down HALT — a four-letter self-check borrowed from the recovery world: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. It's a fast way to catch a bad decision before you make it. You'll hear why each of these states quietly hijacks your judgment, why they almost never show up one at a time, and the two-second pause that can save you the calls you'd otherwise spend months trying to undo. Then a single action for the week: run HALT before your highest-stakes moment — and watch how many bad decisions simply never happen. -- Get on the list to receive Brian's monthly newsletter: https://nodaysoff.com/subscribe/ Tune in to this podcast every weekday morning for 10 minutes or less as Brian shares lessons and stories about how to make positive changes in your life and business, one day at a time.
