Hey Reader, Greetings from the Shinkasen on our way to Kyoto. The trip’s off to a great start. I even bit the bullet on Premium Economy, no regrets. I wanted to share the most impactful online course I’ve ever taken. This January, I was in a rut, looking for a new challenge. I randomly took Nat Eliason’s course Build your own Apps with AI and got hooked on coding. I built some amazing things like my new website and a buy vs. rent calculator). But the biggest unlock was a completely new...

Hey Reader, We're heading off to Japan for Spring Break. If you have off-the-beaten path family recommendations (with 2 elementary school girls), HMU!

Kris is an options trader and someone who knows this stuff cold—with a special knack for explaining complex ideas very well. The app uses volatility analytics to help you navigate the options market, and...

Hey Reader, I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend. Shortly after sending out last week's newsletter, I got to tour Cincinnati with my friend (and RadReads super-fan) Casey Grisez.

And it's impossible to keep up with all the new developments. This week, I test-drove NotebookLM (by Google). This will definitely be my go-to tool when I'm...

Hey friend, I bit the bullet. Just for you guys. I wanted to see if ChatGPT pro is worth the absurd price I'd been stalling for a while. First, that's a lot of money. But more importantly, I didn't know how I could justify the ROI. What's included in Pro Some of the most vocal advocates of AI (like the economist Tyler Cowen) insist that if you're not using the latest models, you're missing out. The model I always hear people rave about is GPT o1 Pro - the most advanced reasoning model. So I...

Hey Reader, I’m off to the EconoMe conference in Cincinnati this week. Ohio friends hit me up! I’m also super excited to announce a new (totally separate) newsletter: Future-Proof Your Career with AI. In speaking to my readers and clients I observed a recurring pattern. Really smart professionals knew that they should be using AI more, but were completely lost about where to begin. And with the rapid innovation — DeepSeek, NotebookLM and GPT o1 Pro — how on earth can you keep up? Thankfully,...

Hi Reader, The flu wrecked me this week. But I'm on the mend (and sadly will miss Four Tet at the Kia Forum). I also wanted to celebrate a new milestone - the RadReads site is fully migrated to our new domain KheHy.com. More on this below and don't worry, nothing changes on your end. BTW, did you know we're 38 days from the end of Q1 - how on earth did that happen? If you're looking for powerful frameworks to Supercharge Your Productivity, we got you covered.
