How you can make AI your competitive advantage by just using ChatGPT. In this episode of the Bernhard Neumann Podcast, I talk with the AI coach Alex Northstar. He helps people to use AI tools to be more productive in what they do. How to be more productive using AI can be learned. We all see the countless content on X or other platforms with fancy prompts and new ways to automate things. Yet, we have a hard time bringing those into our daily workflows. Alex helps people with just that. One-on-on. In this very engaging conversation, Alex and I talk about the following topics and more: - How to enhance your capabilities with AI - How using AI will give you a competitive advantage over others in your job - How to write a good prompt - The importance of the human connection in a world of AI Alex also gives us insights into how an AI coach uses AI in his daily work. I found that especially interesting because I want to know how the best use AI. I also challenged Alex to elaborate on how he thinks work will look in an AI future and what we humans can contribute if AI is smarter and more capable than us. Towards the end of the episode, we talk about what is the "hot stuff" in AI right now. As Alex mentioned, what he said in the interview might be already outdated today. As it turns out, it is not. If you want to get in touch with Alex, X (former Twitter) is the best way. You can find him as @NorthstarBrain If you find this episode helpful, please give it a like and consider subscribing for more great insights into the world of AI, Web3, and entrepreneurship. #AI #ChatGPT #artificialintelligence #productivity

🎙️ Own a piece of the rainforest with one click and help save the planetIn this podcast episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Kuan-Ning Tseng and Rene Hennen from Fund the Planet. I think they have created something very remarkable that deserves attention.If you care about nature, the environment, and most likely our planet (not a climate scientist here), this episode and, frankly, the rainforest NFT is for you.If I may explain in my words: FUND THE PLANET has built a system where you can exchange your money for the ownership of a piece of the rainforest. All of that with one click. That is really remarkable and ignites my imagination.No shady carbon credit companies that want to take advantage of the greenwashing trend. But a German company that already owns part of the Peruvian rainforest and has people at sight to protect it. By buying the rainforest NFT, you have an immediate, significant, and measurable impact on the environment and the future of the planet.We talk about this and more in the podcast. It’s a really interesting story worth being told and listened to.

I think the video will give you a good feel for the week and the "state of the industry." Here is a short overview:- The industry has touched grass and reality- No hype, no FOMO, less excitement, "just" building- Great location for NFT NYC, the organization was very professional- Good amount of people, but less than last year (this was expected)- The side events are more than the glue holding the industry together. They are where the magic of Web3 is at- Too many speakers (about 1.500) at the conference, too many talks on too many stages- The lack of curation of speakers and talks by the conference team is a disservice to the attendees and takes from the experience (it is necessary to change that, in my opinion, and everyone I talked to)- The impact of digital art on the art market is going to surprise many people- Web3 gaming just might be happening soon and might be a great catalyst for Web3 adoption and further innovationThe ultimate winner of this week is the people of Web3. I have a limited set of references from other industries, but the passion, energy, skills, comradery, and smarts of the people of Web3 gives me a very positive outlook on the future.As long as those people are building, Web3 is on a good path to contribute useful solutions to our digital future.Thank you all for a wonderful week in New York. You are awesome 🤗
