What started as an overwhelming Excel spreadsheet became “Project Impossible,” an initiative to transform how Leo Berwick AI manages tasks, shares knowledge, and operates as a team. In this episode, we're joined by Jamie Reingruber of Leo Berwick AI to explore how Notion State helped turn a manual, time-consuming workflow into a centralized, AI-powered system in Notion. We dive into the unexpected benefits of connected knowledge, the challenges of driving team adoption, and why successful AI transformation takes more than just implementing new technology.

What does Notion look like inside a 3,000-person company? Mike Beall joins Bryan and Josh to share how Affirm uses Notion at enterprise scale, from workspace design and team adoption to the challenges of building a system that works across dozens of teams and thousands of people.

What makes a great Notion consultancy, and how do you scale without losing what makes your work valuable? Bryan and Josh unpack why Notion State is choosing depth over volume, the role people and relationships play in creating long-term client value.

Notion is a horizontal tool, designed to be customizable across every industry. So how does a build actually change from one industry to the next?

In this episode, Josh and Bryan break it down to the primitives, drawing on dozens of client builds across tech, finance, and professional services.

This week, Josh and Bryan are playing a little game of Blink Ranking Notion Features. They’ll rank features as they come, best to worst, without knowing what’s up next. And the catch: no changing the order!

A few years ago, Notion was just the app for taking notes. Somewhere between databases, relations, and AI showing up, the internet started asking whether or not it's still a note taking app. Even Notion's own team took to X this week to chime in on the debate. In this episode, Bryan Takayama and Josh Redd take on the question.

Bryan realized he hasn't clicked the "New" button in Notion in months. That observation kicks off a bigger conversation about what actually changes when AI moves from answering your questions to acting on your behalf, the agency pyramid, and why handing more control to AI means holding onto your own principles tighter.
