 I don’t use AI to replace people.
 I don’t use it to pretend I’m smarter than I am.
 And I definitely don’t use it like a tech bro on LinkedIn.

In this solo episode of the Just Some BS Podcast, Brandon breaks down the 10 simple, boring, functional ways he actually uses AI every week — not for hacks or hype, but to reduce mental friction, think clearer, and stop spinning.

This episode isn’t about tools or prompts.
 It’s about how AI can help you think better, learn faster, and prepare smarter without replacing real thinking.

In this episode, Brandon covers:
 • How he uses AI to extract insights from massive data dumps
 • Why AI works best as a think partner, not an answer machine
 • Automating repeatable work without losing quality
 • Using AI as a realistic fitness and nutrition coach
 • His “Bob Vila” approach to home repairs and confidence
 • Turning messy transcripts into clarity
 • Process definition and workflow improvement
 • Using AI for thumbnails, visuals, and placeholders
 • Pressure-testing personal brand ideas without sounding corporate
 • Why preparation reduces anxiety in leadership and life

AI didn’t make him smarter.
 It made him clearer.

If you’re tired of AI hype and just want practical ways to reduce friction in your work and life, this episode is for you.
