Alright, let’s get going here we have Max asking, Do you think that it is possible at AI, artificial intelligence becomes more advanced to the point where an algorithm or deep learning can develop its own conscious thoughts? Today? No.

In the near future? No.

The challenge with consciousness as we understand it right now, is that it is a massive interaction of a computer network, right? A massive neural network.

What is in your pocket, right? These devices as smart as they are as connected as they are? This is really, you know, I think this phone has like, eight cores, eight processors or whatever, something like that.

Now, your your laptop like I’ve got a brand new MacBook has got 32 cores.

Your brain even though it is electrochemical, which is slower than than silicon, then then these things is trillions of interconnected processors.

And it is that network that gives rise to consciousness.

These devices, this hardware doesn’t have the ability to do that, right? There’s simply not enough, there’s no way to cram that many processors into a compact enough space where consciousness can emerge.

Now, I say that that’s not enough time soon, but it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

One of the limitations of these things that our brains don’t have is because of the way things are networked together.

Silicon processors can’t, they have no, they have no middle states, right, they’re either on or off zero or one.

And our brains don’t work like that.

We do have firing thresholds for neurons, but for the most part, we’re less zero to one, there’s there’s a lot of variants between zero and one.

Now there is a form of computing that is getting towards that.

And that is called quantum computing.

Quantum computing allows for minus one to positive one and all the values in between, for a, a computation to occur in a processor.

And we’re still only at like 130 Quantum cores.

So we’ve got a long way to go, before we get to the trillions of cores needed to replicate what’s in here.

But you can see a path forward for that, you can see a path forward where quantum computing will eventually give us the ability to have emergent consciousness from machines.

Now what that looks like and when that happens, we have no idea it could be within my natural lifetime, it might be longer than that.

A lot of it is contingent on physics, on the constraints that physics imposes on these types of computers.

But it is possible and when that happens, we are going to have a bit of a reckoning as a society to figure out what all constitutes consciousness what all what all do we have to do about ethics and things when machines can actually think and feel for themselves? They cannot today, but they could at some point.

So really interesting question Max.

Thanks for for submitting Matt.

Paul asks, looking back on the way you learned about AI, is there anything you wish you would have figured out first? Yes.

So machine learning and data science really are a blend of, of four different areas, right.

So there’s the business side, it’s the business problem, the the business strategy you’re trying to solve, there is the data engineering side, which is handling data.

Storage, being able to, to retrieve and rank an index data this that you have stored, there is the coding side, where you have to be able to read and write code in a language like R or Python, which would allow you to be effective.

And then there’s the mathematics, you know, statistics and probability side, knowing the advanced mathematics, so that you not only know what the machines are doing, but you know why, you know why certain algorithms make for better or worse fit, certain techniques make it for better or worse fit.

And when I look back, I’m self taught on a lot of this stuff.

So I have a lot of gaps.

In my knowledge, particularly on the mathematics side, I can patch gaps pretty easily on the code side, I know the business side.

I know the data engineering side fairly well actually, because I have an IT background, but my my weak spot, my blind spot really is on the mathematics side, particularly once you get into stuff like linear algebra and things like that.

Higher level mathematics, that’s when I feel the biggest gaps.

And so from a professional development perspective, certainly, that’s something I wish I had known, more of going into this.

And certainly something that I’m spending a lot of time nowadays, trying to remediate so that it’s not as big a weakness, right? It’s not as big of a gap.

do a self assessment in those four areas and figure out which area are you weakest in? Which area are you strongest in, and then try to patch those weak spots, particularly if you’re still in school.

Definitely take the time to patch those weak spots, take an extra course in something that you know you’re not good at.

So that it’s less of a vulnerability or added also it’s at the very least, you’re not going to be paying a lot of money to an institution to later on to reteach you something you have to learn the first time around.

Good question.

You Ask, I Answer: What Would I Change In My AI Book?

In this episode, Kelsey asks, “If you were to start writing your book now (AI For Marketers) instead of when you wrote it, what would you change and why?”

Machine-Generated Transcript

What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

Okay, let’s get started.

The Kelsey asks, If you were to start writing your book now, this is AI for marketers, instead of when you wrote it, what would you change and why? Well, the challenge with writing any technology book is that the moment you hit publish, it’s out of date.

And that’s doubly so for a fast moving field like artificial intelligence where you are creating a something to be read and consumed.

While the technology it’s about is racing ahead.

When I finished the third edition of this thing, I had some stuff on language models and image generation.

But so much has happened in just a year.

That it’s you it’s out of date enough that there are possibilities now that are excluded in that book, right? I don’t mind having something out of date, if there are percentage points, improvements in performance, or, you know, refined capabilities.

But the technology pretty much does the same thing.

But what’s happened in the last year is we’ve had leaps of functionality change in artificial intelligence, the ability for us to generate imagery, from a prompt from, from a series of text prompts, is one of the most frequent examples, recent examples from Nvidia came out with that and go again to and then a bunch of consumer apps for your smartphone have come out as well.

That’s a game changer for functionality, the GPT J 6b Library, the natural language generation library, again, huge model that does autocomplete of like entire documents.

That’s a game changer because it reduces the burden for us as humans to generate stuff like you know, a press release, right, you can write a press release better than we can, it’s still not great because press releases in general are not great, but it is different.

So I would obviously change those things to was the process of writing the book.

One of the things that I think would be interesting at some point is to do a book that’s more collaborative.

Every single one of my books that I’ve written so far, really has been my point of view on stuff without any outside voices.

I think it may be time at some point.

Maybe it’s the the new thing I’m working on right now, where bring in some additional voices for some variety.

So good question.

Thanks for asking.

You Ask, I Answer: Reducing Bias in Datasets

In this episode, I answer this question: “Although AI can help solve various issues we face today, it can also create discriminatory algorithms. What solutions do you pose to solve the problems that AI causes?” Bias in datasets is an issue we all have to tackle.

Machine-Generated Transcript

What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

Alright, Lane asks, although AI can help solve various issues we face today can also create discriminatory algorithms.

What solutions do you post to solve the problems AI causes? Well, here’s the thing.

Everything that happens with machines comes from human data, right? There’s nothing that is outside of our existence.

And so the problems that we see with bias in AI and machine learning come from us, right? The humans, we are the problem.

And the problem occurs, the problem can occur in a variety of areas.

It can be the people we’ve hired, right, if people, the people we’ve hired have biases, it doesn’t matter what else you do, you’re going to have problems, right? So that’s a huge part, it’s an overlooked part of machine learning AI is what are the biases.

Remember, there’s two kinds of bias, right, there is human bias, you know, maybe you don’t like people with red hair.

Maybe you don’t like people of a certain race, or religion or whatever.

Those are human biases.

And then there’s statistical biases, which is just where a sample is not representative of the population, the sample is drawn from.

The people that you hire, have got to understand both of those, and know to look for both of those in the data that they’re working with.

Right? So if you’re looking at, say, some survey data that you’ve done before, in some market research, and you don’t know how to check to see whether the sample is representative or not, you could have some really serious problems.

So people is first second overall strategy, is there a bias inherent in your strategy? I remember a number of years ago, my wife worked at a market research firm.

And the they were the epitome of what not to do in market research.

They were a conservative sort of Think Tank.

And people would come to them saying, I need research that backs up this point of view, by anybody who knows anything about market research and statistics knows that that’s pretty much the worst way that you can do market research other than just making things up completely.

And so the strategy can have biases in it.

The data can have biases, and there are mitigation tools for that, for toolkits, for example, like IBM’s AI fairness, 360 toolkit that can look at your data and say, Hey, these look like protected classes like gender, or religion, or ethnicity.

And it looks like these are non representative values in here like, hey, for some reason, this entire dataset, which has a gender field, is like 98% men and 2% women, you might have a problem in your data.

So what these tools can do to identify biases in the data set their biases that can creep in, in the choice of algorithms.

And again, more advanced tools like IBM Watson Studio have some some protections built in to avoid those problems, or mitigate them or at least identify that there’s a problem.

And then you get bias in the model as it drifts, right.

So you publish a model, it’s in production.

And then over time, as it gets new data and learns from new data, it becomes less and less accurate, it drifts.

It also may have biases in it that cause drift.

The most famous example, this was back in 2016, Microsoft Tei.

They focus on Microsoft created a twitter bot.

And it learned from the tweets people sent it and it became a racist porn bot in less than 24 hours.

There were no protections on model drift.

And so each of these areas where bias occurs or can occur has some level of protection you can build into it, but you have to know to think about it to look forward to ask questions about it.

You’ve got to have a way to identify it in the hiring process.

You’ve got to have a way to for a safe way for people to raise concerns in the workplace, right if they see a strategy that’s clearly biased in some way that’s That’s incorrect.

There’s got to be a safe way for people to elevate their concerns and and have those concerns answered.

Again, using tools like fairness 360 for the data, using tools like Watson Studio for the algorithms and the deployment.

And monitoring your models for drift will help you reduce the potential for or the impact of bias and the thing is we have to, we have to be on the lookout for it.

And we have to accept that it is going to occur and remediate it.

And one of the big challenges that companies will run into is they will fight, tooth and nail sometimes to say that they are not biased.

Like it’s not possible.

Well, have you checked, right? Do you know? Have you proven that bias does or does not exist? In any of the systems and if you can’t, you’ve got a problem.

Treat datasets, models, algorithms and, and production systems.

guilty until proven innocent.

When it comes to bias.

Assume that there’s bias until you prove that there isn’t.

If you want to have the best possible outcomes really good question.

Machine-Generated Transcript

What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

Welcome back to You ask I answer.

This is a video series I did for almost three years, really at the start of the the Trust Insights era of my career from 2018, really to the end of 2020.

And we took a year off, because I wasn’t sure that was driving any value to the company.

But when we did some more thorough data analysis later on, found that there may be some benefit for the company from a marketing perspective, to have brand awareness and things.

And so from a business perspective, that would be one of the reasons why this is coming back.

But the other is a piles of questions that have been piling up for a year.

And I gotta be honest, something I don’t know what it was.

But something made me fall out of love with blogging.

In the last a year, I, for those who’ve been reading the blog for a while, you’ve likely seen gone from like five posts a day to four to three.

And with everything going on in December of last year, it just fell by the wayside.

And I didn’t miss it.

Right.

But I still want to create content.

So I want to provide value to you.

By generating answers to questions, right, by by answering questions to the best of my ability, in a format that works for rich media, which is video and audio, and text.

And lets me answer stuff kind of the way we would answer things.

If you and I were having a conversation, right? If we were sitting across from each other at a coffee shop or at a conference or an event.

And you had a question, this would be the way that I would answer the question.

I’m getting rid of sort of time constraints.

So I used to have this target in mind, I got to answer this question in less than 10 minutes, or I can’t fit the video on LinkedIn, for example.

Or I asked this question three minutes feels kind of short for an episode.

And again, I’m realizing it doesn’t actually matter.

Right? The answer is the answer.

However, little or much time it takes.

So that’s why you ask I answer is back.

Again, trying to do different things I also want very selfishly, for my own professional development, want to play around more with tools like Adobe Premiere, and stuff that I’ve been paying for for two years with a Creative Cloud license, and not really getting the value out of it.

Because I hadn’t made time to learn the tools.

Over the last couple of months, the tail end of 2021.

I had some video projects I was working on for some friends, non work related stuff.

And I really enjoyed it.

I was like, Oh, I can do this.

I can do this.

And I can do this.

You saw the opening sequence here.

What it looks like when I sit down and take the time to actually learn what the product could do.

It’s pretty cool.

So all these factors come together to bring You ask I answer back.

If you’ve got questions, I’m going to put a link in the show notes that if you want me to answer them, I’m more than happy to and again, we’ll take as little or as much time as we need.

But thank you for watching.

Thank you for sticking with the channel and I look forward to answering your questions.

Take care

Almost Timely News, 2 January 2022: Happy New Year, Goal Setting

Almost Timely News, 2 January 2022: Happy New Year, Goal Setting :: View in Browser

I’ve got a video series relaunch starting up soon. If you’re not subscribed to my YouTube channel, please hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss it!

What’s On My Mind: Goal Setting for 2022

Happy New Year!

Last week, we talked about giving yourself an annual review. This week, let’s talk about setting goals. It’s appropriate for the time of year – as so many people love to say, new year, new year. So, how do we set a goal effectively?

The short answer is the 6Ws, the timeless framework. A goal or New Year’s resolution without any details really is just a wish, and wishes have a tendency to not come true in the real world. Let’s do two examples, one personal and one professional.

First, personal. Let’s say I want to run a 10K this year. I’ll break this down by the 6Ws.

Why? Why am I doing this? For my health? A sense of accomplishment? Boredom in the pandemic? Why is this a goal I’ve set? For me, I want to run a 10K simply to prove to myself that I can. I’ve been running since relatively early in the pandemic as a hobby, and I’ve come to enjoy it. I did a 5K in 2021, which was a milestone achievement for me, and I want to extend that.
What? What am I going to do to make this happen? I need to run consistently and with a training program.
How? This is where most goals fall apart. There’s no plan in place to make them happen, no tactical nitty-gritty. For me, I have a mileage and training plan to reach that point; I’m currently able to run about 8K consistently so now it’s closing the gap. I need to add some shorter conditioning runs and make a couple of dietary changes as well.
When? When is this goal due? I aim to have run a 10K by April, 2022.
Where? Where will I achieve my goal? Are there specific places I need to be? For me, of course, it’s either a treadmill or the open roads near my house.
Who? Who will hold me accountable to my goal? Goals are easier to achieve and harder to ignore if there’s someone else watching over us.

The 6W structure helps us bring our goal to life and understand where we have clarity about achieving our goal and where we need additional help. Let’s take a look at something professional. Suppose I want to learn Adobe Premiere better.

Why? Why is this goal important? I want to produce better, more professional videos and the tools I have now are too constraining to let my ideas come to life.
What? I specifically want to learn Adobe Premiere and After Effects for making more professional marketing videos. I’ve watched a ton of video on YouTube by many different creators and seen things I want to replicate – but I can’t with my current tools and knowledge.
How? For me, I have a list of the things I want to be able to replicate, and I consume lessons on YouTube from various Premiere experts to see the different approaches for achieving the ideal outcome. If I need it, there are also plenty of professional communities I can join that will let me connect with peers to see how they’re doing and creating.
When? I’m rolling out a new show Very Soon™, probably within a week or two, but this is ongoing. I’d like to get my workflow nailed down by the end of January.
Where? I’ll be practicing shooting footage in different locations in and around my home. Online, I’ll be publishing on YouTube.
Who? You! I’ll be looking to you to give me feedback, to tell me whether I’m improving whether I’m creating more value for you or not.

As you think about your goals, personal and professional, for the new year, consider examining them through the 6W lens to find gaps that could set you back.

My Three Words for 2022

One of my favorite exercises that I’ve performed every year since he first introduced it is Chris Brogan’s Three Words. Rather than create resolutions which are difficult to keep, the three words exercise puts together three words that form your mantra for the coming year. My twist on it is to restrict it to just verbs, because verbs are actions to take. I like the three words as an easy way to remind myself of what I’m supposed to be doing, if I find that my mind and focus have wandered.

For example, in 2021, my three words were accelerate, create, and experience. By making them verbs, I could ask myself for any given decision if what I was choosing would accelerate my progress towards a goal, encourage me to create something, or help me experience something more deeply.

That said, that’s unique to me only, and that restriction doesn’t apply to anyone else. You could choose, for example, end state goals as your words, like wealth or opportunity or friendship. Do whatever will help you move forward on your big goals.

As mentioned, in 2021, my three words were accelerate, create, and experience. How did I do in 2021 with these words?

Accelerate. I nailed this one for the most part. I’m more fit and healthier as we close out the year than I ever have been in my adult life. Business has grown; Trust Insights had its best year yet. And I’ve gained new skills and new friendships in 2021 that have made my life far richer. So, this one’s a success.

Create. I vowed at the end of 2020 to get better at creating, and I doubled down on that in 2021. I’m moderately proficient at Adobe Premiere, really good with Photoshop and Audition, done more drawing and more creative things in 2021 than I’ve done in many years – and it’s so addicting. So much fun. This one’s a success too.

Experience. The original idea here was to take the road less traveled, to experience more. What was supposed to be the year when we put the pandemic to bed and started the march back to openness was instead the year of vaccine hesitancy, Delta, and Omicron. As a result, I made the most of the experiences I had, but except for two trips to my parents, I didn’t venture more than eight kilometers from my house for almost all the year.

Now, where there was a difference is that in the digital world, the virtual world, I did branch out and experience more. But this one’s a mixed bag at best.

So, with that retrospective, what are my three words for 2022?

Invest. I’ve got goals, ideas, and people that are good now, but could be better. What’s restricted me, what I’ve done to restrict myself, is to under-invest in those things, to operate on a shoestring, to fear taking the plunge and diving head first into something. This year, I need to invest more seriously in the things I care about if I want to see them flourish.

Research. 2021 was, in all honesty, a stagnant year for me. I learned a lot, I refined a lot, I fine tuned a lot, but there wasn’t much where I broke new ground – and there’s a lot of new ground to be broken. If 2021 were sports it would have been a rebuilding year. This year, I need to make bigger strides in research, in digging in and discovering new things.

Cultivate. I tend to be a bit of a binary person. I’m either all in on something or it totally doesn’t interest me; I’m a rabid fan or completely turned off. While that is a powerful strength in the beginning of something, it’s a weakness in the long term because I tend to get bored easily. This year, I need to work on making efforts more sustainable over the long term, marching steadily towards an objective rather than occasionally sprinting and then stalling. I need to cultivate, like a farmer steadily growing things, rather than like a hunter where you do something intense for a short period and then a big lull.

Remember, the three words, should you choose to do this exercise, are guideposts, not iron-clad rules. Things happen – like global pandemics. Even small scale things, on the order of us as individuals, can make the best-laid plans go totally off the rails. So if and when life throws you a curveball, don’t hesitate to change your focus either.

Whatever and however you choose to celebrate the turning of a page in time, I hope your 2022 is an improvement over 2021.

What’s On My Mind: Annual Reviews

Wherever you are, whatever your belief system, I hope that you have a chance to rest this holiday season, gather together with people you care about, and refresh yourself for the year ahead. This past year was a blur, while 2020 felt like a slog, but there are some days when I still think it’s March 657, 2020. Thank you for being here with me this year.

This week and next, the newsletter will be a little shorter. Actually, a lot shorter, because we all want to enjoy the holidays as best as we can. One interesting exercise I think worth considering is a non-work catalog of the year. We all do reviews of some kind, be it quarterly reviews, annual reviews, etc. and we have – or should have – a decent sense of where we are in our professional lives.

So… when was the last time you gave yourself a non-professional annual review?

Look at the things we ask on annual reviews, like the GOOD framework from Quantum Workplace:

Goals: What goals did you set out for the year? Did you achieve them?
Obstacles: What things stood in the way of your goals? Were you able to work around them?
Opportunities: What did you pursue for learning and professional development to increase your skills?
Decisions: What will you do more of next year? What will you do less of?

That framework is useful for the workplace, but also really useful for the rest of your life.

Where are you with your friendships and relationships? What goals, obstacles, opportunities, and decisions did you have this past year? For example, I’ve doubled down on Slack and Discord and participating in some creative communities that have really nurtured my soul, something essential during the last two years.

Where are you with your personal finances? What goals, obstacles, opportunities, and decisions did you have this past year? For example, I set some saving goals this year that I managed to hit.

Where are you with your spiritual life? What goals, obstacles, opportunities, and decisions did you have this past year? For example, I set a goal to do more meditation, and missed that goal.

Where are you with your health? What goals, obstacles, opportunities, and decisions did you have this past year? I set a goal this past year to run a 5K. Not only did I do that, I managed to improve my fitness so much that I basically run a 5K every weekend.

Where are you with your self-expression? What goals, obstacles, opportunities, and decisions did you have this past year? For example, I started doing more creative writing in 2020 and wanted to continue in 2021, and I managed to do quite a bit more, exceeding my goal.

Before we can talk about our goals and plans for the next year, we need to look at the year that was. We need to do our performance review for the non-work parts of our life – and if it turns out that we got a bad review, that’s okay. That’s the place we start for building a better plan for the next year, and unlike a job where a bad review just gets us fired, a bad review in our personal lives is the blueprint for what’s next for us.

Take the time if you can to do this review for yourself and see how 2021 went for you for everything outside your work.

Almost Timely News, 19 December 2021: Empathy Deficit, 12 Days of Data

Almost Timely News, 19 December 2021: Empathy Deficit, 12 Days of Data :: View in Browser

Learn the fundamentals of marketing analytics in a brand new talk »

What’s On My Mind: The Empathy Deficit

What is empathy, and why do we care? The short, academic definition is:

The term “empathy” is used to describe a wide range of experiences. Emotion researchers generally define empathy as the ability to sense other people’s emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling. – The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley

We live in a massive empathy deficit at the moment. One look at the headlines or a site like NotAlwaysRight.com and conversations about how we treat each other, about how we do business with each other, and the deficit is clear. We lack empathy almost entirely in our interactions with others.

Why? Why have things gotten so bad? It isn’t just the pandemic, though certainly the added strain and trauma of a global disease is part of the puzzle. Our empathy deficit has been decades in the making, however.

What does empathy do for us? It helps us bond, it helps us find common ground, it helps us soothe and comfort each other in times of trouble. When we express empathy, we help others and help ourselves in the process. From a human perspective, empathy is a really good thing, and we need more of it in our lives.

From a commercial and control perspective, it isn’t. If your job is to sell more stuff by any means necessary, persuading people that they can soothe their pains through purchasing things – we even invented the term retail therapy to explain this – is what you’re after. In fact, we go out of our way as marketers to reinforce the self over others; count how many times during the holiday shopping season you see messaging and marketing about what you deserve, buying a little something for yourself, treating yourself right. That’s not to say you don’t deserve nice things, but the messaging and marketing is encouraging you to face inwards instead of outwards towards others.

The expression of empathy is counterproductive to this commercial goal. If people find comfort and calm in each other, then they don’t need to buy our stuff to make themselves feel better. If they find self-worth and value in a community, then retail therapy rings hollow.

Second, if your job is to persuade people to support your cause, there’s no easier way to rally people to your banner than by creating an enemy to rally against. Politicians and demagogues have done this since time immemorial, creating us vs. them divisions where divisions didn’t previously exist. We even create those divisions for commerce; rallying Red Sox fans against Yankees fans to sell more stuff. What’s changed in the last 20 years is the reach and power of this kind of messaging and marketing, and the artificial intelligence algorithms used to reinforce it.

If you’re trying to create an us vs. them split, empathy is your enemy. You can’t rally people to your cause if they don’t believe the “other” is really the enemy. On the other hand, if you can convince people to abandon empathy and demonize others, you can make the division so stark that it becomes as powerful and as compelling as religion, making your cause part of their identity. Consider the state of politics in many nations right now, so divisive and so ingrained in people’s identities that it is literally killing them.

What’s the solution to the decimation of empathy? As marketers, we owe it to ourselves and to our communities to abandon tactics that persuade people to deprive themselves of empathy. If our products and services are good enough, we should be able to reach people without resorting to soul-crushing marketing tactics. Instead of telling people to simply buy more stuff to feel better, let’s find ways to persuade people to behave with more empathy towards each other and work our products and services in more organically to the ideal outcome.

As individuals, we desperately need to find our tribes, find our people in the world and start there, start rebuilding a sense of concern and care for those closest to us – and then those close to them, and so on and so on until we remember why we should care about each other – and how good it feels when we do.

If you enjoy my videos, like You Ask, I Answer, Do Something With Your Marketing, Saturday Night Data Party, and many others, then consider using the platform I use to edit and publish them: Techsmith Camtasia. Camtasia is just the right balance between too easy and inflexible, like iMovie, and absurdly complex and expensive, like Adobe Premiere. It’s got just the right features, from subtitle editing to all the usual transitions and special effects, and it’s a desktop app, so there’s none of this crazy trying to “edit in the cloud” (which is insane for video production). If you need to produce videos, screencasts, and even animations, give Camtasia a try.

What’s On My Mind: Intelligent Content Reuse

Want to know a useful, helpful trick for making the most of the end of the year (or any time of year, really), content-wise? Gather up your best content and bundle it up for your audience.

For example, every year, I gather up the cold opens (this first section of my newsletter) for the entire year and publish it as an eBook. The amount of extra effort this requires is negligible compared to the act of actual content creation.

How do you do this? It depends on what content you have, but here are a couple of thought starters.

If you have a newsletter like this, and you publish frequently (weekly or more often), then simply publish the archive as a collected eBook. You can organize by topic or by date.
If you have a series of YouTube videos or podcasts, consider having them transcribed if you don’t already and then assemble that as an eBook, again by date or by topic.
You can also do a retrospective episode, reviewing the content you created during the year and providing links and such back to the original episodes.
If you have a blog, pull a report like this in Google Analytics:
