    About the Episode

    Chasing after that big automation win might be the very thing holding your business back. Alane and Micah have seen this over and over, teams planning one massive workflow while a dozen small, repetitive tasks quietly eat their time every day.

    In this episode, they make the case for starting smaller than feels comfortable and why it adds up faster than you think.

    3 things you'll learn in this episode:

    1. The two questions that tell you what to automate first, repetition and inconsistency
    2. How Skills stack into a full cross department workflow, one small piece at a time
    3. The math behind small automations, five Skills that each save five minutes a day add up to two full weeks back every year

    About the Episode:

    AI context windows just hit two million tokens, and if you're stuffing yours full of information and hoping for the best, you're doing it wrong. Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson break down what a context window actually is, why bigger doesn't always mean better, and what it means for how you use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

    If you've ever gotten frustrated that AI "lost the plot" mid-conversation, or started giving you answers that made no sense, the context window is almost certainly the culprit. Most business owners don't realize that when AI's working memory runs out, it starts guessing, and it doesn't even know it's happening.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • What a context window actually is: AI's short-term memory, and why it forgets without warning
    • The desk analogy that finally makes context windows click, and why leaving space matters more than filling it
    • Why hallucinations happen when the context window overflows, and how to prevent them
    • How Claude Cowork's subagents spin up their own context windows to handle complex tasks
    • Why your CLAUDE.md file and folder system are the most underrated tools for context efficiency
    • Where context windows are headed for Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, and the mobile phone plan evolution that tells the whole story

    If you're ready to stop blaming AI for bad outputs and start understanding how it actually works, press play now.

    Most companies say they're using AI, but only 30% have even created an acceptable use policy. Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson are back with part 2 of their AI fluency series, and this time they're going deep on the organizational level: the six milestones that separate companies dabbling with AI from those actually building with it.

    If your team is experimenting with AI tools but you have no committee, no shared systems, and no way to measure who knows what, you're building on sand. This episode gives you the framework to change that, no matter where your organization is starting from.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How to build an acceptable use AI policy that evolves as your tools and workflows evolve
    • Why AI champions matter, and how to identify and use the right people on your team
    • How to measure your team's AI fluency using milestone tracking across roles
    • The system for sharing wins and roadblocks so AI knowledge doesn't stay siloed
    • Why clean data is non-negotiable, and why AI can't fix your messy folder system for you
    • How to document your workflows so anyone can understand them, no technical background required

    If you're serious about building an organization that doesn't just use AI but grows with it, this episode gives you the exact roadmap. Press play, your team will thank you.

    If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, start there first: The 5 Individual Milestones of AI Fluency.

    Most business leaders talk about AI adoption. But Alane and Micah are asking the real question. How do you actually measure it?

    In this episode, they introduce a five-milestone framework for tracking individual AI fluency on your team. This framework was built from a real gap Micah observed at a recent COO conference where everyone agreed the topic mattered but nobody had answers.

    If AI adoption at your company feels more like chaos than progress, there's a good chance your team has no shared baseline and no way to know who's moving forward and who's stuck. Alane and Micah make the case that undefined fluency goals are a business problem, and that the fix is easier than most leaders think.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How to define milestone one so every team member has a clear, achievable starting point with Cowork
    • Why Skills, Folders, and Connectors are the baseline every team member should hit, and why that alone drives major efficiency gains
    • How one team member spent 5 minutes on something that now saves 45 minutes every single day
    • The two-track model (individual vs. organizational) and why measuring only one of them leaves half the picture missing

    If you're ready to stop guessing about where your team stands with AI and start building a measurable path forward, this episode gives you the exact framework to do it.

    About the episode:

    Forget the full AI agent. Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson are making the case that Claude Cowork Skills are the most powerful, most overlooked feature in AI right now. One slash command. Twenty-five steps handled. Consistently, every time.

    If your business relies on humans doing the same thing the right way every single time, you already know how that goes. The inconsistency, the retraining, the quiet shortcuts. It's not a people problem. It's a systems problem. Claude Skills are the fix.

    In this episode:

    • What a Skill actually is: part SOP, part system, part micro app
    • How to standardize your team's work without retraining anyone
    • Why adding a deal to your CRM is secretly a 25-step process, and how one command handles all of it
    • How Skills connect to your tools and run automatically in the background
    • How to build your first Skill the right way: start simple, iterate, don't wait for perfect
    • How Alane's workshop analysis Skill works exactly like she does, so she doesn't have to be the one doing it

    If your team is doing the same thing five different ways and you're ready to fix that, start here.

    ChatGPT and Claude's "Memory" Isn't What You Think
    Jun 15 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Join us for a Free 30-minute Claude Cowork Demo: The Prompt That Replaces an Hour of Work on Wednesday, July 29 at 1 pm CT.

    About the episode:

    Here's something that'll mess with your head: ChatGPT and Claude have zero memory. Every message you send, the model reads your entire conversation from scratch, answers, then forgets everything. When these tools claim they "remember" you, that's not the AI. It's separate software making judgment calls about you, and you never see it happen.

    If you've ever wondered why AI gives inconsistent outputs or seems to lose the plot, this episode connects the dots. Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson break down why relying on automatic AI memory quietly works against your team.

    In this episode:

    • Why AI memory is really judgment calls stacked on judgment calls
    • How bad memories become invisible and skew everything after them
    • Why context bleeds between clients without warning
    • How every team member ends up with a different "source of truth"
    • The file-based system that puts you in control of what AI remembers
    • Why Biggest Goal shut off automatic memory at the organization level (and nobody noticed)

    Memory is just context. Once you control the context, the outputs finally get consistent.

    • ChatGPT - AI chat interface with automatic memory feature

    About the episode:

    What happens when someone goes on vacation and all their AI work becomes inaccessible? Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson tackle the collaboration crisis emerging as teams adopt Claude for real work.

    This isn't really about vacations. It's about work getting siloed in individual AI sessions where no one else can access the research, problem-solving, and progress being made. When AI tools actually do the work instead of just providing suggestions, everything changes.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why AI work gets trapped in individual sessions and how to prevent it
    • The paradigm shift from sharing AI chats to sharing AI outputs
    • How to use Connectors and Skills to automatically save progress to shared systems
    • Real examples of ClickUp integration that keeps work flowing
    • Why this collaboration problem affects daily teamwork, not just vacations
    • Practical systems for making AI enhance collaboration instead of breaking it

    If you're ready to stop treating Claude like a personal diary and start using it as the collaborative tool it's meant to be, this episode shows you exactly how.
