Season summary
Mark Schaefer posted 31 times in eight weeks, a third of them dispatches from airports, retreats, and Napa Valley. The rest were AI essays on whether models have real emotions, book plugs for his twelfth title, and a meta-post analyzing the engagement on his earlier “photo of me sleeping” post. Personal branding, modeled in real time.
