Nick Milo Reads My Obsidian Vault Like a Doctor

🚨Register for my free live “The Master Prompt” session on 26 August at 12pm ET: https://bit.ly/4bRaYmf 🧠 The AI Second Brain (Cohort 2) opens for enrollment August 26: https://bit.ly/3S5stbu Nick Milo has spent years living at the exact intersection of Obsidian and AI. So I opened my actual vault (the one behind my new book, not a demo) and asked him to walk through it the way a doctor reads an X-ray. What he noticed first, second, and third told us both a lot. From there we got into the real questions I keep getting asked: how do you protect your original notes before you let AI near them

I Connected my ENTIRE Business to Claude

🧠 Get my free Beginner's Guide to Claude: https://bit.ly/basb-community ✉️ Join my next AI Second Brain Cohort: https://bit.ly/3S5stbu I connected almost my entire business to Claude in one afternoon, then asked it one question. I audited every app I use, checked which ones have an official Claude connector, and turned on nearly all of them: my bank, my books, my email list, my community, my meeting notes, my calendar. Then I asked Claude one question: with all of this connected, what could you build for me? It came back with more ideas than I expected. I picked one: an automated mid-year

It reshaped our family in ways I didn't expect, and I get into what changed with our other two kids, with my wife Lauren, and with how I think about my own time.

I Connected Claude to Everything. Then I Saw the Gap.

🧲 Grab my free Claude Connector Verification Checklist, the 5 steps I use to catch what Claude misses: https://bit.ly/4wiTzLa I connected Claude to my calendar, my inbox, and my notes. Then I found out how little it really sees. Connectors give your Second Brain a nervous system. Senses that pull context in from your apps, so you stop copying and pasting. The first time it works, it feels like magic. But here's the catch most people miss: when Claude connects to a tool like Notion, it doesn't read everything. It samples a small slice of your data, often half a percent to five percent, skew
