I spent the better part of a decade moving through things with no obvious connection to each other. Door-to-door sales, mastermind groups across the country, real estate investing, real estate leadership, systems thinking, and live events with impactful mentors/teachers. None of it was designed. I wasn’t building toward anything I could name at the time. A few years ago, I was sitting in a Tony Robbins event in Dubai, watching him teach through psychology, physiology, language patterns, belief systems, relationships and business strategy all at once. That was one of the moments where it clicked for me: the best teachers rarely stay in one lane. They pull from multiple domains and connect them in real time. What I know now: every domain I went deep in gave me a set of mental models I didn’t know I needed. None of those models came from going deeper in the same lane. The best ideas usually come from connecting things that don’t obviously belong together. That’s why this matters with AI. AI is a multiplier. Which means the question is never really about the tool. It’s about what you’re bringing to it. One habit worth building: Consume one deliberately cross-domain input per week. Not more content inside your industry. Something with no obvious connection to your work. History. Neuroscience. Architecture. Psychology. Hospitality. Biographies. Your brain makes the connections. You just have to keep feeding it different ingredients. The concern that AI makes people dumber isn’t unfounded. The real risk is more specific: using it to avoid thinking instead of using it to think harder. Those paths look similar right now. They won’t in three years. What are you consuming right now that has nothing to do with real estate or AI? Drop a book, podcast, YouTube video, habit, or insight below that’s been helpful for you.

Google just made Gemini capable of pulling context from your calendar, emails, and files automatically. One of the biggest time sucks with AI right now isn’t the tools. It’s reconstructing context. What was the client situation again? Did I already follow up? What’s the full scope of the situation here? We end up feeding AI extra background just to get a useful response. That friction adds up fast. This update is a step in the right direction. Gemini starting to connect your calendar, emails, and Drive docs means fewer resets and less explaining. More context awareness. Better outputs with less effort. Not perfect yet. But it moves us closer to AI that understands where you’re at, not just what you type. Anyone noticing real changes from this update so far?
