The newsletter
your brain
has been waiting for.
One practical AI workflow. Every week. 15 minutes. No jargon.
Built for experienced professionals who are done re-explaining themselves to AI — and ready for it to actually work with their expertise, not around it.
Sound familiar?
You’re using AI... but it doesn’t feel like leverage. It feels like extra work.
Every new chat window means re-explaining your entire context. Again.
Your colleagues are talking about AI in meetings. You smile and nod.
Your brain doesn’t hate AI. It hates friction.
You tried three different tutorials. None of them fit the work you actually do.
You’re not behind. You’re just waiting for someone to teach it the right way.
This is that.
What’s inside every issue
One workflow per week
Not a tip. Not a prompt list. A complete workflow you can run in 15 minutes and use in your actual work by Thursday.
The why before the how
Every workflow comes with the behavioral science behind it — why your brain resisted it before, and what makes this version stick.
Tested in real organizations
Nothing theoretical. Every workflow I publish has been run in a real professional setting — by me or by someone in my network.
Tools that already exist on your desk
ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude — whatever you have access to. No new subscriptions. No new platforms. Start with what you've already got.
For 45+ professionals, specifically
Paced for your brain, not for a 25-year-old who codes for fun. No jargon. No assumed background. Just clear, warm, and direct.
A community of people figuring it out
You're not alone in this. The Substack community is full of experienced professionals having honest conversations about what works and what doesn't.
The 70/100 Framework
Here’s what most AI education misses: the gap between a good AI output and a great one isn’t the prompt.
It’s you. Your judgment. Your contextual knowledge. Your read on the room.
AI gets you to 70%. Your expertise gets you to 100%.
Most professionals are abandoning the 100% — either because they don’t know how to bridge the gap, or because nobody told them their expertise was the whole point.
That’s what we fix. Every week. One workflow at a time.
From people just like you.
"This is the first AI newsletter where I didn't feel like I was being talked down to. Adrienne writes like she actually knows what it's like to be in the middle of a career, not at the start of one."
Director, Global HR
"I've tried three AI courses. None of them gave me anything I could actually use on Monday. This newsletter does that every single week."
Senior Consultant, Financial Services
"The 70/100 framing completely changed how I think about my role in AI-assisted work. My experience isn't a liability — it's the whole point."
