  • The Truth About AI (It's Not What You Think!)
    Jan 30 2026

    f AI has started to feel loud, urgent, or impossible to keep up with, this episode is for you.

    In Episode 2 of AI for Everyone, Joel Comm helps you step out of the noise and rethink what AI is actually for. No tech lingo. No panic. No pressure to master tools or chase updates.

    Instead, this episode focuses on a simple, human idea:
    AI should carry some of the mental load — not add more to it.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why feeling overwhelmed by AI isn’t a personal failure

    • How to think about AI without trying to “keep up”

    • Where AI actually helps in everyday life — and where it doesn’t

    • Why experience, judgment, and wisdom matter more than ever

    This isn’t about replacing who you are.
    It’s about freeing up time, energy, and attention for the things that matter.

    If you want a calmer, more practical relationship with AI — one that works for you instead of against you — you’re in the right place.

  • Why AI Feels Overwhelming (And Why You’re Not Behind)
    Jan 22 2026

    If AI feels like it suddenly got very big, very fast, and hard to keep up with, this episode is for you.

    In the Season 2 premiere of AI for Everyone, Joel Comm starts with a simple but important message: you’re not behind.

    AI didn’t suddenly become powerful overnight. What changed is the volume — the headlines, the predictions, and the constant pressure to “keep up.” In this episode, Joel offers a calm, human-centered way to think about AI without jargon, fear, or hype.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why AI feels overwhelming even if nothing is actually wrong

    • A simple mental model for what AI is (and isn’t) good at

    • Why you don’t need to “learn AI” or chase every new tool

    • How AI can act as a quiet assistant instead of a source of stress

    This season of AI for Everyone focuses on the human side of AI — how it can support creativity, thinking, learning, and everyday life without replacing judgment or wisdom.

    There’s no race. No firehose. And no pressure.

    You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

  • Tesla’s Robot Is Here… And It’s Smarter Than You Think
    Nov 20 2025

    Imagine waking up and finding a new “being” in your home — not a person, but a robot. And not sci-fi, not the Jetsons… a real, physical humanoid robot built by Tesla.

    In this episode of AI for Everyone, I break down Optimus, Tesla’s rapidly evolving robot that’s starting to learn, move, and behave in a surprisingly human way.

    Here’s what you’ll see inside the episode:

    🤖 What Optimus is — and what makes it different
    Tesla’s robot is designed to move through the same world we do: stairs, doors, kitchens, cabinets… no custom environment needed.

    🧠 How it learns like a child
    Optimus can learn from demonstrations. Engineers literally show it movements, and it figures out the pattern — even by watching video.

    🏠 What it can do today
    Folding laundry, identifying objects, balancing, adjusting to sudden movement — things that used to be impossible for consumer robots.

    👵 Why this matters for your life
    From home chores to mobility support for older adults to dangerous or repetitive jobs, Optimus opens the door to a whole new category of everyday help.

    📅 What’s real vs hype
    Tesla loves big promises, and this episode separates what’s happening now from what’s still years away.

    Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or simply fascinated by robotics, this episode gives you an honest, human look at where this technology is heading — and what it could mean for all of us.
