LX and Havok welcome back repeat guest Russell Van Brocklen the dyslexia professor chilling in Albany, NY (definitely not the crazy downstate chaos).
It kicks off with epic hotel horror stories: $113 steal one year, $429 nightmare the next, plus a Times Square shoebox room where the bed touches the wardrobe doors. Then Russell drops his no BS playbook for turning AI into a tireless teammate using ChatGPT 5.4 extended thinking + Claude Opus Coworker. Learn the exact 10 moves the top 1% use to double or triple their output while still swimming at the YMCA and living life.
Meet 10-year-old Grayson (99th percentile math/science) who’s already gunning for a NASA Mars-terraforming PhD, plus why Russell won’t let kids touch AI until 9th/10th grade (hello, Craft of Research). He breaks down custom memory workflows, reusable prompts, beating hallucinations, and why humans still own empathy, creativity, and final calls.
We also geek out on the wild future of jobs, robotics, and why the right AI skills could mean three offers for every qualified human. Russell shouts out his life changing professor and teases his upcoming book If You Can Write, You Can Read.
Funny, practical, and zero robot apocalypse doom just real talk on using AI to work smarter, not harder.
