Build Your Main Brain: What a Second Brain Really Is

Folders that have files that have rules.

Plenty of humans tell George their AI feels like an assistant with amnesia, so they re-explain themselves five times a day. George shows the second brain he runs his business on: plain files on his own computer, in four folders, that his AI reads before it helps. Built on a pattern he credits to Andrej Karpathy, it's why he calls a prompt library "a copy and paste prosthetic."

Who should be in the room

Business owners, consultants and teams who keep starting from zero with AI and want it to remember who they are.

You'll walk away with

  • The four starter folders (raw, wiki, intake and journal) and what goes in each
  • "Raw is always raw," and the mistake that taught George to mine transcripts, never AI summaries
  • Why plain files beat a notes app: you own them, and they work with any AI model
  • What to feed it first: the Foundation Three, the Business Four and an Offers doc
