Why “Just Slack Me” Doesn’t Work Globally (and What to Do Instead) | Lazy Leverage #57 44:03

לפני 4 ימים44:03

44:03

Most business owners don’t think they have a “culture problem.” But if your team misses deadlines, seems afraid to speak up, or quits without notice—you’ve got one. This isn’t a vibes issue. It’s a systemic one. Today Jon sits down with Sagan’s Head of Product, Binsi Das, to break down the hidden culture traps that derail global teams. Here’s what’s happening: you’ve built a company with an egalitarian mindset—flat structure, open feedback loops, lots of autonomy. But half your team comes from hierarchical, low-context cultures. In many of these countries, employees don’t speak up unless asked directly, bosses don’t typically use Slack, and using AI can get you fired. The fix? Awareness, structure, and trust. Know that culture isn't just where someone is from—it’s how they communicate, perceive authority, and handle feedback. Build memos, not just Slack rants. Create explicit permission structures. Watch faces and tone as much as words. Start with small, low-stakes projects and coach confidence into your team, especially if they come from high-control backgrounds like BPOs or strict traditional offices. Also, stop assuming they’ll just “get it.” People won’t magically unlearn 30 years of cultural conditioning because your company has a no-meeting Monday. Write things down. Give context. Be human. And memo everything. Memos are the underrated superpower of leadership. They force clarity, reduce Slack flailing, and act as asynchronous coaching tools. They also turn you into a multiplier—not a micromanager. Culture issues can sneak up on leaders of global teams in the form of rework, delays, confusion, and burnout among team members. But if you build systems that acknowledge the hidden rules people operate under, you won’t just manage your team—you’ll unlock them. Remember: It’s not about hiring smarter—it’s about leading wiser. Key Topics: (03:12) The Unspoken Rules of Cross-Cultural Leadership (11:30) Empowering Your Team to Become More Proactive (17:27) Low Context vs High Context Cultures (24:42) Unlocking the Potential of High-Value Talent (36:32) Jon and Binsi’s Thoughts on Memos (42:03) Other Common Leadership Mistakes…

Why Notebook LM Might Be the Sleeper AI Tool of the Year | Lazy Leverage #56 44:58

לפני 12 ימים44:58

44:58

Google quietly dropped an AI tool that could replace half your tech stack. Its name? NotebookLM . Think ChatGPT, but with deep integration into your documents and a smarter memory. You can feed it PDFs, YouTube transcripts, Google Docs, or even random web pages. From there, it becomes like a supercharged research assistant that not only remembers what you’ve uploaded but cites it like a pro. Sure, there are a couple of downsides: as of now, sharing is limited to people on the same Google Workspace, and there’s no API. But the upside is wild. You can create topic-specific notebooks—for example, onboarding, legal docs, or SOPs—and then just ask it natural language questions like “What were our last three hires?” or “What did I say in my journal about work-life balance?” It's especially powerful for teams or solo entrepreneurs looking to offload some mental load. You can use it to prepare for meetings, craft a vivid vision for your company, or even build a repository of everything you’ve ever written or said. Instead of combing through old files or Slack threads, just ask. We're on the cusp of turning years of scattered knowledge into a living, searchable, AI-powered archive. And it's free with Google. If Notion and Trello don’t adapt fast, they’re going to be toast. Moral of the story: dump your docs into Notebook LM, talk to it like your most competent employee, and watch the magic happen. Key Topics: (02:12) Initial Thoughts on NotebookLM (08:10) Having a Vivid Vision for Your Business (11:32) The Best Way to Phrase Questions to AI (16:39) Creating a Content Ecosystem with LM (24:50) Consolidating Data from Point Solutions (31:43) The Power of a Two-Day Solo Retreat (41:00) Final Thoughts Stay connected for more insights and strategies by following: Jon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MatznerJon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on X and at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lazyleverage.beehiiv.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Peter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@pslohmann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on X and at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠peterlohmann.com…

Stop Using AI to Make Horses Faster: Design for the Future Now | Lazy Leverage #55 46:47

לפני 19 ימים46:47

46:47

AI isn’t here to replace your team—it’s here to give them time back. Join Jon and Peter as they explore how the right interfaces and integrations can supercharge productivity across your org! Jon kicks things off by sharing his vision: every new client should get a completely customized front end tailored to their needs—think “cars, not faster horses.” He and Peter riff on the challenge of AI adoption at the ground level—how time-starved teams struggle to learn new tools—and the importance of delivering point solutions that are simple, embedded, and immediately useful. There’s an appreciation for systems thinking here–that true leverage comes from building thoughtful infrastructure. Peter raises a great point about the power of centralized data. He’s excited about tools like Loveable, but acknowledges their real magic happens when all business data lives in one well-organized database. They reflect on past limitations—splitting data between platforms—and how new tools like Supabase and Airtable now make consolidation more accessible, especially with AI riding shotgun. Finally, Jon and Peter dive deep into emerging AI tools like Lindy and Perplexity, ways to integrate Notion with natural language, and even the wild potential of GPT-4’s AI-generated images for marketing real estate! Key Topics: (01:40) Cars, Not Just Faster Horses (08:12) Possible Paths to AI Adoption by Teams (12:54) AI for Enterprise-Level Databases (20:43) Property Management Applications (24:31) Using AI to Answer AI-Related Questions (31:46) Finding an AI Model That Helps You Aggregate Industry-Specific News (34:42) How Property Managers Can Take Advantage of GPT-4’s New Image Gen Capabilities (39:20) “The Future Is Here.

Oh, and you don’t have to spend a cent to make it happen. Now stop imagining. Enter Lovable, your “superhuman AI full stack engineer”.
