Back to Work: Navigating Success, A.I., and the Unknown
From excellence, actually by Steve Magness, Brad Stulberg, & Clay Skipper
February 26, 2026 · 30 min
About this episode
The hosts reflect on their experiences and insights related to success, A.I., and project management.
Today, for our monthly round-up, each of us shares a reflection from February: Brad explains what his chaotic book launch taught him about achievement, fulfillment, responding not reacting, and putting into practice other lessons we discuss regularly; Steve discusses using A.I. to help him do his work, and whether it can ever produce something truly great; and Clay shares a tool that has helped him keep things moving on big projects even when the roadmap isn't super clear. It's a new format with the same great insights.
