About Mark Palmer
Hi, I’m Mark Palmer. This is my online writing home. I write about where technology meets humanity as a creative force that helps make us better. As CEO of an MIT startup, I was named by Time Magazine as A Technology Pioneer Who Will Change Your Life and a LinkedIn Top Voice in Data Analytics.
About This Substack
I have strong opinions and love to share them here on Substack. I publish one essay a week for free and donate all proceeds to charity (net of Substack's administration fee, about 12%). If you’re new to my writing, try these:
Most companies should be decision-driven, not data-driven
Most people fear AI, but it will create more, better jobs than it takes away
Most data analysts think math is more important than creativity; it’s not
Most people are ghastly storytellers, but the truth is, anyone can be a good one
Most people think AI is job automation. It’s not, it’s about creativity
Most people view cancer as death, but if you look for it, cancer is love.
About The Generative AI Growth Mindset Workshop
I lead a two-week workshop on how to use AI called The Generative AI Growth Mindset. With a rating of 9.6/10, I've had firefighters, teachers, CEOs, and CMOs join—it's an eclectic and fun mix of folks! I cover:
A method of using AI for creative work and critical thinking I call "S.E.E.": Seedfinding, Experiment, and Express Yourself
How to use AI to find, hone, and share your "Spiky Point of View" to better influence others
How to get the most out of tools like Perplexity, Midjourney, RunwayML, and even your good old paper journal.
This workshop is for everyone: no technical skills are required. All you need to bring is curiosity.
Again, I donate 100% of the proceeds to charity. Learn more here.
I’m glad you found me! Connect on LinkedIn here!
