Building a Second Brain

On this episode, Dan talks about the “second brain” idea—basically a system (think Notion/Obsidian) for saving info so an AI can pull it up later and also help turn old content into new documents. They describe a simple setup: store Markdown (or ingest things like PDFs/MP4s and auto-transcribe them into Markdown), organize everything in a folder structure, and use an “agent” to summarize, search, and even draft things like statements of work or design docs from what it finds.
