You're sitting on a goldmine of expert knowledge. It's buried in your inbox, your podcast app, and your YouTube subscriptions. Most of that value is going completely unmined.

You're subscribed to the smartest people on the internet. You're retaining almost nothing they say. The problem isn't the content. It's the gap between subscribing and actually learning.

I subscribe to 30+ newsletters and read maybe 3 per week. The daily digest from Adviserry tells me what I missed in 60 seconds. It's basically a newsletter about my newsletters.

My note-taking system for podcasts was "pause, open Notes app, type three words I won't understand later, unpause." There has to be a better way. There is.

I subscribe to 47 newsletters. I know this because I recently connected my Gmail to a tool and it told me. I did not think it was forty-seven. Here's how to tame the chaos.
