Your AI Second Brain Is Slowly Rotting (Here's How to Fix It)

Granola is the AI notepad for professionals in back-to-back meetings: https://www.granola.ai?via=cole-medin Every guide to building an AI second brain goes over the same components and stops before covering how to actually maintain your second brain and stop it from drifting over time. I have been running my second brain for six months now. My memory folder is 1.9 million words! What reaches the agent every session is about 10,000. Compressing it was never the hard part - keeping those 10,000 words TRUE is. So in this video, I cover how your second brain is probably rotting right now and the solution so you can keep your second brain sharp! We want our second brains to get smarter over time, and this is a huge part of making that possible. Thanks to Granola sponsoring this video! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - I just hosted the free AI-Native Transformation Workshop, showing you how to effectively adopt AI as a standard for your engineering team.
