TENTANG EPISODE INI
What you'll hear:
- The daily habit Teresa used to go from feeling behind to using AI confidently every day
- Why starting with terrible results is actually the point
- How to filter out the noise (MCP servers, plugins, new apps) and stay focused on what matters
- Why finding community — whether that's show-and-tell sessions, YouTube, or local meetups — accelerates learning faster than any tool
- A simple first prompt for anyone who doesn't know where to start
Key takeaway:
If you have a to-do list, you have problems AI can help with. Start with one. Give it 15 minutes. It'll probably be bad — and that's exactly right.
