Second Brain Project: The Daily Me
The second brain is a source of carefully curated information, but what’s the best way to access and interact with that wealth of content day to day? Dennis and Tom unpack the concept of “The Daily Me”—customized daily news—and whether it could be a solution for keeping up with content stored in a second brain.
In their next segment, the guys prompt ChatGPT to ask them a question. This time, this leads them to ponder the 18-year evolution of the podcast and potential updates to freshen up the intro.
