Environment You Work In (How it Affects Your Work)

The environment you work in is never neutral. It's shaping how you think and what you produce, whether you notice or not. Bryan Takayama and Josh Redd chat about the importance of both your physical and digital workspace recorded, fittingly, just before Fable 5 was ripped from our hands a mere three days into its life. (Pour one out for Fable 5: June 9–12, 2026.)

Bryan Takayama and Josh Redd go off-script on what an AI-native operating system looks like, why human judgment is the moat AI can't copy, and where they land (very differently) on whether AI is good for humanity. Buckle up, and please keep both arms and legs inside the moving vehicle.

Thinking in Notion

Everyone praises Notion until they're staring at a blank page. Bryan Takayama and Josh Redd share the framework for thinking in Notion — a projection-and-collaboration matrix, the four spaces every workspace needs, and how to think in types so your system scales instead of sprawls.

Notion Goes Developer Mode

Notion launched its developer platform, and even seasoned users had to recalibrate what Notion is now. Josh and Bryan welcome their first-ever guest — Bayler Kelly, Notion State's Head of Engineering — to break down CLI, Workers, syncs, and webhooks, and Notion's San Francisco hackathon.
