I think this might be the best video I’ve seen from Sora 2 so far. 🤯 What happens when you mix a hilarious doctor with OpenAI's video tool ?

You get this brilliant creation from my colleague Dr. Brad Sobolewski, a time-traveling doctor bringing modern medicine to the past.

It’s funny, smart, and a great example of how can make education and storytelling in healthcare way more engaging.

I tried something new, I made a custom GPT tutor for my kids! 📚

It’s a patient, encouraging AI tutor that helps them think through their schoolwork without giving away the answers. I added a bunch of specific rules based on how they learn, so it guides their reasoning, explains concepts, and builds their confidence and curiosity.

So far, it’s been really cool to see how it helps them learn — and honestly, anyone can create something like this. Would you try making one for your kids or students?

📚 Think Again by Adam Grant hit me harder than I expected.

It reminded me that asking questions doesn’t mean you lack confidence — it means you have confident humility. That feeling like an outsider isn’t failure; it’s a sign you’re still learning.

One idea that really stuck: “driving in the fog.” Moving forward even when the path isn’t clear — that’s what growth actually looks like.

And maybe the biggest lesson: it’s okay to leave the straight path. Sometimes progress means rethinking success and having the courage to start fresh.

💭 Has a book ever changed the way you see your own journey?

What if not everything had to be done right now?

I was working late the other night when I saw a clip from Gabor Maté. It reminded me how often I get hyper-focused on work, thinking everything has to happen right this second.

So I closed my laptop and just sat with my daughter. No agenda. No tasks. Just being present.

Sometimes, the things that feel urgent… can wait.

✨ What’s one moment in your day you could pause for and truly be present?

Register for the Beyond ChatGPT: AI Tools You Aren’t Using (But Should) workshop!

This workshop won’t be a lecture—it’s more of a “show and tell”. Dr. Todd Ponsky will walk you through the AI tools he actually use day-to-day as a busy surgeon (like quick video editing, creating images and videos, smarter learning tools, even building apps without code). Then he would like to hear what tools you’re using.
