2026
Podcast Movement NYC voting is closed today (7/21/26), and Steve Orr and I would be grateful for your support!
We submitted three session ideas connected to the work behind our book, “Podcasting for Small Business,” published in December 2025 (https://lnkd.in/e6rCXFKR).
The book is about helping small business owners plan, launch, sustain, and use podcasts as real business assets, not just another content channel. These sessions extend that conversation into three areas we think matter right now: - Audio Is Not Dead: Why Audio Podcasting Gives Small Businesses a Strategic Advantage - The Small Business Podcast Flywheel: Turning Episodes Into Relationships, Revenue, and Results - Don’t Lose Your Voice: Small Business Podcasting in the Age of AI
Podcast Movement received more than 750 session submissions this year, and public voting will help shape half of the 2026 agenda.
So, if you care about small business owners having a stronger voice in podcasting, or if any of these topics sound useful to creators, consultants, marketers, community builders, or business owners, we’d really appreciate your vote.
You can vote for any or all three sessions.

Time is mercurial. One moment it’s the concrete beneath your next footstep; the next, it’s a sudden gust of wind. Think of it what you will, or don’t think of it at all, but the clock still ticks in absolute terms. We only get so many breaths. Use them wisely.
I really hope for improved AI language beyond anthropomorphic words like “intelligence” “CoT” “reasoning” and even “hallucination.” It’s amazing, evolving technology, but applying these cognitive terms meant to placate fears may cause more harm than good.
In all the years of owning the Pixel Watches (since the original Pixel Watch), I’ve recently had the most problems with the OS. Assistant/Gemini keeps resetting, display items are jumping off screen, erratic power usage. I hope these get fixed soon!

Is every delay really procrastination?
In ProductivityCast Episode 143, we begin exploring the difference between procrastination and conscious deferral, and why that distinction matters for productivity, self-awareness, and how we work with others.

The Coordination of AI
AI won’t just do your work; it’ll need you to manage it. Think of it as hiring a million super-smart interns who can code, write & research…but still need guidance. The future isn’t about using one AI tool well. It’s about managing many like a boss.
The AI Coding Companion
AI is changing who gets to build for your personal productivity. Whether you’re a non-coder, power user, or developer, you can now create tools with AI around how you work instead of settling for defaults. open.substack.com/pub/produ…
I’m hosting Productivity UnConference this morning. It’s free, will be a fun time!
💬 Networking starts at 8:30 AM EST on Zoom, and we start officially at 9:00 AM EST.

I wanted to capture my current thoughts on AI and how we should approach it for personal productivity. It’s not about replacing people, but about expanding what we can do with the right tools. | www.productivityplustech.com/p/ai-work…

I had my first experience with “Auto browse” (agentic AI) in Google Chrome. I’m still very concerned about privacy and security (which I know Google is working on diligently), but I was impressed by my initial work with it. It needs to be faster, much faster. But the potential is exciting!
Is it me, or is Google Gemini Live constantly trying to end the conversation? Ending every response with “Is there anything else…?” is giving I’m-done-with-you vibes.
