Affiliate disclosure

Last updated 25 October 2026

The short version

Some links on this site, in my member emails and in my social posts are affiliate links. If you click one and buy, the company may pay me a commission. You pay the same price either way.

What I recommend, and why

I only recommend tools I use, or have used, in my own businesses. A tool does not go on my stack page or into an Academy step because it pays a commission, and the list is not ordered by what pays most. Plenty of the tools I name pay me nothing.

How you can tell

  • On this site, an affiliate link is marked affiliate next to it.
  • In member emails, the footer says when an email contains affiliate links.
  • On LinkedIn, X and other social posts, a post with an affiliate link is marked #ad.

Where it does not apply

Advice I give to consultancy and fractional Chief AI Officer clients carries no affiliate links. If I recommend a tool in paid work, it is because it fits the job.

Networks

Affiliate links run through networks such as CJ Affiliate and PartnerStack, or directly with the company. They may use cookies to record that a purchase came from my link; see the privacy policy.
