Long bio (about 200 words)

Dylan Asdale spent years as a registered nurse, where he learned that the best explanations are patient, honest, and free of jargon. When he started learning AI, he noticed that most resources either talked down to beginners or buried them in buzzwords. So he started writing the kind of guide he wished existed.

His first book, The Massive AI Manual, walks complete beginners through everyday AI in plain English: what the tools actually do, how to use them safely, and where they genuinely help. He maintains a companion hub at dylanasdale.github.io.

In October 2026 he founded Asdale Dynamics, LLC, an Indiana company focused on beginner-friendly AI education. The company publishes books, guides, practical tools, and open-source templates on the same three rules Dylan learned in healthcare: explain clearly, respect the reader, and never pretend to be something you are not.

Dylan lives in Indiana. When he is not writing, he is probably playing Final Fantasy XIV, losing gracefully at chess, or organizing one more paperwork folder.

Sample Interview Q&As

Starter answers for podcasters and journalists. Use verbatim or as springboards; Dylan is happy to go deeper on any of these.

Q: You went from nursing to writing about AI. How does that happen?

A: Nursing teaches you to explain things at 3 a.m. to someone who is scared and tired, with zero room for jargon. When I started learning AI, I noticed most guides did the opposite: they either talked down to beginners or hid behind buzzwords. I wanted to write the guide I wished I had, so I did.

Q: What makes The Massive AI Manual different from other AI books?

A: Three things. It is in plain English. It is step by step, so you finish each small step before the next one starts. And it never assumes you already know the secret handshake. Beginners are not slow; they are just new. There is a difference, and I write for that difference.

Q: Should beginners worry about privacy with AI tools?

A: A healthy yes. The manual covers practical habits: what not to paste into a chatbot, how to run AI on your own computer when you want the data to stay home, and how to check what a service is doing with your files. You do not need to be paranoid. You need a short, sensible checklist, which the book provides.

Q: What is Asdale Dynamics, LLC?

A: An Indiana company I formed in October 2026 to publish my books, guides, and practical tools, including open-source templates. The focus is beginner-friendly AI education, plus author and small-business helpers like publishing, marketing, and bookkeeping tools. Open-source where it makes sense, honest about limits always.

Q: You write about healthcare workers and AI. What is your stance?

A: Education only, never medical advice. I am a nurse, not a replacement for your care team. AI can help a busy nurse write a shift-handoff study plan or learn a new tool, but patient decisions belong with licensed professionals. The book makes that line very clear.
