I hear from some of you who say, “Kim, I don’t care about AI, it’s not my thing.” I get it. But AI does matter. You’re using it even when you think you’re not. Ever yell, “Speak to a real person”? AI is not just here, it’s taking names and unpaid lunch breaks. As much […]
I’ll never forget helping Robert from Virginia find $24,578 sitting in a bank account he didn’t know existed. He heard me talk about how to find hidden money on my national radio show.

One question I get all the time is, “Kim, can AI help me pick stocks?” Spoiler: Not only can it help, it might do a better job than a guy in a Patagonia vest yelling about yield curves.

Healthy eating isn’t just trending, it’s something I’ve lived my whole life. I read every label, choose organic whenever I can and try to never eat processed foods. Knowing what’s going into your body matters, and I’ve always believed that. But even with all that vigilance, it’s easy to get duped by “natural” and “wholesome” […]
Larry from Louisiana writes: “Kim, what jobs are safe from AI and don’t need a college degree? I’m losing sleep worrying about my future and how I’m going to support a wife and three teenagers.” Larry, you’re spot-on to be thinking about this. Supporting a family of five in this economy is basically a full-contact […]
When people hear “AI,” they think of deepfakes, bogus essays or robots stealing jobs.

Zuckerberg might be onto something … and it’s not just world domination this time. A listener wrote to me recently, and I haven’t stopped thinking about his story.

Work got beef with your focus? You’re not imagining it, according to Microsoft, employees get interrupted every two minutes. Emails. Pings. Meetings that could’ve been Slack messages.

Photographers and illustrators ask me this question a lot: “Kim, is AI going to take my job?” The answer? It’s tricky. Yes, there’s growing competition between AI and human artists.

Your brain is meat. Beautiful, magical meat. But it loses things. Important things like “brilliant 4 a.m. business idea” slip into the gray matter of the most sophisticated organ on the planet.
