NotebookLM for Mental Toughness
We put together an unrestricted rights bonus based on the work of Stoic Philosopher Epictetus, called: The Enchiridion.
His principles are perfectly in line with ways to use NotebookLM to leverage your best behavior in relationships, which is the main subject of our friend Justin (Tools for Motivation) Popovich's new course on establishing meaningful connections.
The easiest thing to do in business relationships is to defer to the person with the strongest personality and the loudest voice. It is peaceful in the short term, but conflict eventually. But you and your customer can use NotebookLM to stay in a position of personal strength. That is what this bonus teaches.
Justin does not have a bonus area for us to automate delivery. So, when you purchase his content write in to Laurel in support with your receipt. We will then verify your purchase and send you the bonus link. Give us 24-48 hours from the time you send.
Get the bonus here:

Tomorrow - Curriculum Preview of How to Turn NotebookLM into an Interactive Course
On Saturday, I will release our newest full 15 video curriculum on a NotebookLM Workflow. I will cover the entire process of turning notebookLM into an Interactive course.
If you are not totally clear on how to use NotebookLM then you are probably less clear on how to teach it.

My Gemini Spark Testing: RPA Is Still on the Table It Looks Like
I wrote this in an earlier newsletter in a different version. But, in testing Gemini Spark Agents, I was attempting to automate some processes with Gemini and NotebookLM. I was doing it though without there a being an API for NotebookLM.
That means that Google Blocks itself when trying to automate processes there. I have politely yelled at everyone I can about this, but I'm not sure that will go anywhere.
I remember a couple of months back talking about RPA or Robot Process Automation. This is actually what will be needed for processes like those that I am trying to do with NotebookLM. Even trying to attach the MCP Server, I am told by Gemini will not help me in what I am trying to do.
So, for some automations, Agents are still not yet fully able to do all of the "things" even if you are sitting at your desk to give permission.
Wierd...but true.
So, I am looking at Axiom.AI and Microsoft Power Automate to do RPA which is free with my Microsoft Subscription.
I will keep you posted on what happens. In all other respects Google Gemini Spark is quite nice, runs in the cloud with Google Docs and not on a PC.
I don't want anything on my desktop or any desktop running unsupervised. I will be doing some training on this for Ultimate Insiders and eventually I will make it available to the public if there is time. But stay tuned here regardless and I'll let you know what I know as a I know it.
