About

Hi, I'm Saadiq Rodgers-King. For over 20 years, I've been building software, leading product teams, and founding startups. Today, I work primarily as an AI Coach, helping experienced professionals harness artificial intelligence to amplify their impact and thrive in this new era.

Why AI Coaching? The Urgency & Opportunity

Frankly, AI is a cheat code. I've seen firsthand how it saves days of tedious work and achieves in seconds what used to take me weeks as a product leader. But I also noticed a concerning gap: many accomplished professionals remain on the sidelines of the AI revolution. This blog, and my coaching practice, grew from a sense of urgency – the belief that professionals who leverage AI will thrive, while those who hesitate risk falling behind. My mission is to turn complex technology into practical tools you can use now.

Inside the Writing: Practical Explorations

This space is where I unpack the rapid changes we're experiencing. You won't find breathless hype, but rather practical explorations of:

  • Real-World AI Applications: Applying tools for tangible results in work and projects.
  • The Builder's Mindset: Leveraging new tech to create and innovate more easily than ever.
  • Navigating Disruption: Adapting careers and strategies for the AI-driven future.
  • Learning in Public: Shared insights, experiments, and lessons learned along the way.

My Journey: Decades at the Tech Frontier

My perspective is shaped by a career spent bringing clarity to complexity across FinTech (Fabric, acquired by Gerber Life), Web3/blockchain (PROOF Holdings, acquired by Yuga Labs), mobile consumer internet (Hot Potato, acquired by Facebook), media (MLB Advanced Media), and SaaS. I've consistently delivered innovative solutions by combining high-level strategy with deep technical execution. This journey is built on a technical foundation (Computer Science from Princeton) and strategic business training (MBA in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from MIT Sloan), but driven by a relentless focus on data-driven results and collaborative problem-solving.

My guiding principle is 'Progress Over Perfection.' Technology moves fast, and the key is practical application and learning by doing. If you're looking for grounded perspectives and actionable advice on leveraging today's most powerful technologies, stick around.
