Welcome to Beyond Brief — where signal > noise.

🛡️ Brought to you by Trust and Will

About a year ago, I became a dad 👶— and suddenly, estate planning went from “someday” to “today.”

Enter Trust & Will. They hit me up at the perfect time, and in less than 30 minutes, I had a legit trust set up. No legal mumbo-jumbo. No awkward office visits. Just a fast, guided online process that made me feel like an actual adult (for once).

If you’ve got a kid, a house, or anything worth protecting — this is the move. 💼

I'm literally writing this blog post by talking out loud right now. No typing, no struggling with writer's block, no staring at a blank screen. Just me, speaking naturally, while AI transforms my scattered thoughts into organized, coherent content.

This is the future of note-taking, and it's available to you right now, completely free.

Speed That Matches Your Thoughts You speak at 150-200 words per minute. You type at maybe 40-60 words per minute (if you're fast). The math is simple: talking is 3-4x faster than typing. When you're in flow state with an idea, you can capture it at the speed of thought rather than losing momentum to your keyboard.

Natural Flow, No Friction There's something magical about speaking your ideas aloud. Your brain processes language differently when you vocalize vs. when you type. Ideas connect more fluidly, tangents become useful explorations, and that inner critic that makes you delete and retype sentences gets bypassed entirely.

Context Retention That Actually Works Unlike traditional voice recorders that leave you with hours of audio to transcribe later, AI note-taking maintains context throughout your entire session. You can reference something you said 10 minutes ago, build on previous points, and create coherent narratives that span complex topics.

Iterative Improvement in Real-Time The AI doesn't just transcribe—it organizes, clarifies, and even suggests improvements. It's like having a writing partner who never gets tired and always helps you find the clearest way to express your thoughts.

Pro Tips for Maximum Effectiveness:

AI-powered voice notes aren't just a productivity hack—they're a fundamental shift in how we interact with our ideas. When you remove the friction between thought and capture, magic happens. Complex problems become manageable, creative blocks dissolve, and that book/blog/project you've been putting off suddenly feels achievable.

The technology is here, it's free, and it's waiting for you to start talking.

Your next great idea is just a conversation away.
