👋 Hello there, LinkedIn community. While I continue to enjoy a break, I'd greatly appreciate your collective wisdom on learning AI stuff! Ok, I confess, I am using fairly cheesy yet scientifically proven scroll-stoppers to grab your attention. Firstly, the red beanie. And secondly, our dog (thank you Rik for the proof you shared hacking the feed). Promise, it's for a noble cause: finding the best inspiration on AI stuff, see below. 🏖️ Recently I shared my plans for a proper break. For those who care, here's some items that landed on my bucket list (besides my executive coaching side gig): 🇫🇷 Improve my French. Challenge: speak french during our family Normandie trip in summer! 🎸 Play the Guitar. Challenge: stage appearance at Hurricane Festival 2026. Just kidding. 👨🍳 Improve my Cooking skills. Challenge: serve proper Sushi. 🇯🇵 Visit Japan in September. Challenge: get past the bouncer and into Womb, Tokyo's famous Techno club ⚡ Finally and unsurprisingly, become proficient in AI tools! Here's where I'd crave for your advice! For now, on top of daily experimentation with the main LLMs, I dived headfirst into the Artificial Intelligence program at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Subscribed to tons of newsletters like The Rundown AI and Neuron (thanks Christian Langenberg for reco) while continuing to watch Jeff Su's YouTube tutorials and listening to Jens PolomsKI podcasts. Over to you: Where do you get your AI wisdom ? Drop a comment or send a DM. Grateful for any advice as I continue to stay curious (and slightly overwhelmed!). #learning #redbeanie #ai #humanintelligence #scrollstoppers
Hi Martin. Love the cap. Giving Steve Zissou. Cooking skills: AI + Cooking: I created v2.0 of my "Kenji GPT" last week, inspired by recipes, recordings, and websites of J. Kenji López-Alt, Yotam Ottolenghi, Julia Child, and several others hand-picked because of their knowledge, expertise and passion. Give it a try. It's a blast. ps, this from NYT: This Year’s Hot New Tool for Chefs? ChatGPT 🎁 Gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/dining/ai-chefs-restaurants.html?unlocked_article_code=1.MU8.PqnD.HUOtwCjp27w8&smid=url-share Japan: Tokyo was on my bucket list, and it did not disappoint. If you need tips/places, lemme know. French: I learned here, and it was amazing: https://af-france.fr AI: so many options. Here are a just a few: 1) Harvard's CS50 Fundamentals of AI on YouTube (free) 2) Rowan's Rundown is pretty good, as you mentioned. 3) Google AI Essentials (Grow with Google) 4) AI For Everyone by Andrew Ng on Coursera 5) Learning by doing. Sign up for ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Pro, Perplexity Pro, Claude Pro and use them. A lot. Ask them how to use them. Experiment. Mess around. 6) Come meet me at TEDAI Vienna ... and DM me if you want info about tickets.
Have chat with Jens Polomski, I‘ll connect you
..and you even came close to the Westwing brand color for scroll stopping power Martin, nice job 👌. Yr list looks quite comprehensive already. What I find most useful for AI is to pick a concrete project (eg. I want to create a full blown website and marketing activation for xyz (fill in a hobby. Like ‘survival gear for a 72hour rave night’). From there you’ll find problems to solve which makes the search for and use of AI solution most concrete and tangible. ..and maybe u end ip with a lucrative side gig 😉.. njoy yr time off!!!

Je serais ravie de t’aider pour tes conversations en français en échange de quelques photos et recommandations concernant ton voyage au Japon mon cher Martin 🤗😉
Love seeing you lean into this wide-open chapter, Martin. There’s real power in the pause—and let’s be honest, also in logging some serious beach hours with your canine career coach. 🐾🌊 On the AI front, highly recommend checking out Danoosh Kapadia—we worked together at IDEO, and he’s now leading the charge on practical upskilling through his hands-on AI workshops. Sharp, generous, and riding the edge of tech, creativity, and consciousness.
I may have a connect for the Hurricane Festival :) Matthias Singh any ideas? 🎸
Awesome! 🥳 Great to hear that you are a fan of our podcast 🙏🏻 Lets talk! :)

5dSpannende Pläne hast Du. Bin gespannt, ob Du die Tür in Tokio meisterst. Genieß die Pause! Aktuell ist der größte Austausch für AI der Austausch mit Kolleg*innen und das direkte Ausprobieren / Umsetzen bei diversen Herausforderungen von Alltag bis Business Tasks. Ich bin nicht so der Theoretiker 😉 Das gute bei uns bei OTTO / in der Otto Group sind diverse Formate, wo Neuigkeiten, Workhacks etc. geteilt werden. U.a. hole ich auch selber spannende Menschen zu unserem Inno Breakfast, die genau darüber berichten. Solche Formate erlebe ich auch selber gerne - da gibt es ja auch extern immer mal wieder spannende Events oder Slots bei Konferenzen.
