I love this graphic from Beth Kanter for so many reasons: It's a concise overview that helps frame how individuals and organizations can approach #AI. It's a clear and reproducible guide to using AI in the ideation, development and revision of an #infographic. But most of all, what I love is the example of using #AI to combine your talents in new ways. Beth has been a brilliant tech strategist and communicator for as long as I've known her (twenty years!) And she has also always inspired me with her love of hands-on creativity: this is a woman who can wax rhapsodic about pens and markers. AI has opened the door to combining those strategic, communication, and visual talents in a new way. So ask yourself: What are the threads of your own work and creativity, that AI could help you combine in a new way?

Two Silicon Valley veterans Biz Stone and @Evan Sharp have launched Tangle, a new “antidote” social app focused on intentional living rather than engagement metrics. Backed by $29m, it prompts users to share goals and reflect daily. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said building healthier digital tools is “difficult work — but worth it,” reflecting tech leaders’ reckoning with social media’s harms.

Like many of you, I think a lot about the impact AI is going to have on humanity. The decisions we make today-- and the policies we put in place-- are going to have a profound impact on millions of people's lives tomorrow. If you think those policies should primarily focus on technology, you're on the wrong path. Building trust when it's unclear what's real, ensuring safety as machines take on new roles, and strengthening our sense of purpose as AI gets ever-more capable-- that's what matters most. Autonomous Vehicles are going to be the way many people first experience AI in the physical world. Lyft is taking that responsibility seriously. Here's our Chief Policy Officer's Jerry Golden essay on how we're working with governments to get things right. https://lnkd.in/gMUR6Cf3

Tech doesn’t have to be lonely. SMBs are expected to scale like startups and secure like enterprises—often with a fraction of the resources. That’s why mentorship and real-world guidance matter just as much as the tech stack itself. This San Francisco Business Times piece echoes what we see every day: tools are just one piece of the puzzle. What really drives growth? Clarity, community, and making intentional tech decisions that actually serve the business. Because strong tech foundations aren’t a luxury. They’re what keep your momentum moving forward. https://lnkd.in/epGKeQrE  #SmallBusiness #TechStrategy #SMBsupport

Cofounder relationship issues can become problems for the company if conflicts are not addressed or worked on. The unconscious stuff builds up and often breaks. Dr. Matthew Jones is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with co-founders to help manage critical conflicts that threaten their success. He is the author of the book, “The Cofounder Effect: How to Diagnose, Fix, and Scale Healthy Communication for Startup Success." Matt has worked with hundreds of bootstrapped and VC-funded co-founder teams to help them repair and manage their relationships in the context of their growing business. Matt knows how the magic of the co-founder relationship creates the “floor and the ceiling” of a startup's culture and future growth. When co-founder conflict becomes a recurring frustration for at least one of the founders, it’s a sign that the relationship needs attention. As Matt describes it: Working through deeper relationship conflicts takes effort. And it often takes outside help to enable both sides to create useful new perspectives, reconnect, and evolve. Check out this practical interview with Dr. Matthew Jones on the Practical Founders Podcast. https://lnkd.in/gmVsfGrj
