We start out curious and exploratory, he says, and then get compacted by work, family, community and every other system until layers cover who we actually are. His work is about sorting through those layers and asking which ones still serve you in this specific context.</p><p><br></p><p>🧩 On AI, his position is unusually calm. Whatever proportions of joy, frustration and fear the technology is raising for you, most of it was already there. AI made it visible because it does not behave like the people we are used to reading.</p><p><br></p><p>The practical core of the conversation is delegation. Track what you do, note how you feel about each task, look for what you consistently dislike, then ask whether it goes to a person, to an AI, or off the list entirely. And before you delegate, ask why you dislike it, because sometimes the answer sits in a fourth grade classroom rather than in the work itself.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>What you will take away:</strong></p><ul><li>🔍 Why AI amplifies existing dynamics instead of creating new ones</li><li>🪜 The smallest possible step method for change that actually starts</li><li>🧵 Why borrowed frameworks need tailoring before they help</li><li>❓ Why \"can AI do this\" is the wrong question</li><li>🤝 What trust, vulnerability and reading people still contribute</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Best for engineering managers, founders, consultants, marketers and executives leading teams through constant change.</p><p><br></p><h2>Newsletter Anyone?</h2><p>📧💌📧</p><p>Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes.
