"I don’t come from a technical background and I’m not an AI expert. But I am a generalist, and I think that helped immensely. I hold a lot of skills I can access and combine depending on what’s needed."

I feel this in my core. One day, hopefully, people will see the value of this and make space for us in the industry. (Preferably one day soon, because this mama needs work). We have so much to bring to the table if only they gave us a seat.

In the meantime I'll just keep lugging around my TV tray of knowledge and rock up to that table via my Linkedin and Substack. They can't ignore us forever right?

I actually think being a generalist has been one of my biggest advantages. The world needs both specialists and generalists, but with how fast technology evolves, generalists are often better positioned (cause we can adapt more easily, connect dots across fields etc.). So it feels like our time is already here!

Appreciate this approach! Turning AI insights into practical, implementable systems is what truly gives you an edge. For more AI trends, playbooks, and strategies, check out my Substack.

This is exactly the kind of shift we need more of - not just more AI noise, but actual tools and step-by-step help people can use. The way you've made the leap from curious tinkering to creating structure and a community is so smart. I see a lot of senior professionals feeling stuck at the "I don't know where to start" phase and you're handing them a map.

(In my LinkedIn sessions, I always suggest setting up one repeatable AI workflow per week - even a small one. That habit compounds fast.)

What’s been the biggest “I can’t believe this works” moment since starting the newsletter?

Daria Cupareanu's avatar

Love that you’re encouraging that habit in your LinkedIn sessions. Cheers to creating maps, Melanie!

Hard to pick just one, I think I’m biased toward the most recent ones, like seeing how capable Perplexity Comet’s assistant is at running tasks in the background with just light supervision. I’ll be testing it more across a few cases and will share an article soon.

Or did you mean more about running the newsletter itself?
