Punching Above Your Weight: How to Use AI Without Losing Your Mind

Punching Above Your Weight: How to Use AI Without Losing Your Mind

Written and narrated by Ryan J. Smith

What if AI isn’t the end of your job, but the start of your edge?

Written in one week and recorded with grit, Punching Above Your Weight is part memoir, part manifesto - a crash course in using AI to scale your clarity, courage, and impact.

Ryan J. Smith - AI product leader by day, musician by night - opens with the moment his father flatlined for 15 minutes and came back. That brush with death sparked a fire: life is short, and fear can’t keep us from what matters.

This audiobook cuts through the hype with honest strategy, sharp tools, and stories of underdogs who refused to fold. Whether you're a solo act or leading a team, this is your cornerman in the AI fight.

Perfect for listeners who are:


- Outmatched but not out of options
- Curious about AI, but allergic to tech bro nonsense
- Ready to fight smarter - not harder
