Stop Framing AI As The Enemy
- Kyle reframes the common fear of "AI vs humans" into a losing, combative mindset.
- He suggests instead to view AI as a "jet pack" that amplifies human agency and ideas.
Follow The Three‑Phase Readiness Cycle
- Practice the three‑stage Cycle of AI Readiness: Play First, Create Excellence, Generously Lead.
- Use the cycle repeatedly to discover possibilities, execute with craft, and share learnings in community.
Start A Daily AI Practice
- Build an intentional daily AI practice: center yourself, define values and what you want to create.
- Then "play with purpose" and explore tools that match your goals, even in unfamiliar domains.
