“AI for the Stuff You’re Bad At” with Nadia Ellis
Nadia Ellis is back. Our very first guest returns for round two, and this time we’re getting into something both highly practical and deeply human: how to use AI to help with the stuff you’re just not great at.
This episode is about those everyday moments where friction creeps in — staring at the blank page, trying to untangle your own thoughts, or drowning in information you’re supposed to do something with. And how AI can actually make life easier, if you know how to work with it.
We talk about:
How AI can fill in your blind spots and shore up your weaknesses
Why AI might be the unexpected hero of an ageing workforce
What happens when AI gives everyone a megaphone, but no one an editor
The three big blockers: getting started, catching your thoughts, and cutting through the noise
Why the next big human skill might be reviewing, not writing
The productivity trap of AI workslop (and how to avoid it)
From procrastination to productivity, neurodiversity to noisy inboxes, this episode is a warm, funny, and strategic look at how we can make AI work for us not the other way around.
Slideshow with Dave Hayward is a production of Europa Creative Partners.
