Literally just stepped off stage at #WTSFest Philly after my session on AI and content.

The key takeaway: Don't let the bots order your cheesesteak. They'll always sound like tourists.

Last night's sunset was something else. Never seen clouds like this before. Absolutely beautiful. #cowx

I have few words. Diane taught me to be myself in a world that punishes women for being themselves.

The reality for content teams is brutal: the "content crunch" is real, demanding more output while starving us of resources. @melissapopp.com is addressing this head-on.

Spent the morning at the Mutter Museum. So fascinating, so sad in some cases, but also very moving.

if you're in or near LA and not pulling up to this, you're going to be missing out.

We will be getting honest about AI’s role in search, what actually drives results, and what’s just noise.

Join me, Jordan Koene, and Jerry Smith in Oct 16th!

Engineering use to be about building software, bridges, powergrids…. now chunking content into a arbitrary number of paragraph makes you an engineer… I guess dragging boxes Canva makes you a design engineer?

Ranking on Google is no longer enough.

Here's the reality that a lot of SEOs are starting to wake up to:

Billions of searches (prompts) are now flowing through AI-based search engines every single month.

I was so fortunate to see Dr. Jane Goodall speak a few years ago. Her fierce passion for conservation, even in the face of despair, left me in awe. She made me believe that even when the world seems to be losing its mind, we must keep fighting. Thank you, Jane, for lighting the way.

Jane Goodall Institute of Canada @janegoodallcan.bsky.social · 11d

The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes.

She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.
