One Document, Every Touchpoint

I distilled how I talk about my work into a single positioning doc, then used Claude Code to propagate it across my website, LinkedIn, and scheduling page in an afternoon. The friction of keeping your positioning in sync is gone, and that changes how often you're willing to do it.

Your Team Has the Tools. But Nothing Has Changed.

Smart, accomplished leaders are quietly paralyzed by AI. They feel the pressure. They see the opportunity. They can't translate it into forward motion. I help them see the destination and get there.

"I Can Do Anything" Is a Terrible Pitch

AI is changing how work gets done and most people know it but don't know what to do about it. I help them figure that out. I'm still working on how to help a stranger recognize the solution to their problem in my offering.

I Had a Tense Client Call Coming Up. AI Did the Prep I Wouldn't Have.

AI will help us do the things we already do. But it will also help us do all the things we wouldn't have done that can make all the difference.

Own the Outcome

Product management has always been about ownership. Now you have the tools to actually exercise it. Everyone's on the growth team. Form hypotheses, ship, learn, iterate. The velocity that required dedicated resources is now yours.

There Is No Spoon

Everyone's worried AI will hurt junior workers. But there's hope. They haven't been institutionalized into how things 'should' work. Like that elephant bound by a string, we're limited by what we believe we can do, not what we're capable of.

My Agent is Making the Buying Decisions

To Stay Current on AI, Stop Reading and Start Building

The most advanced AI workflows don't exist in ChatGPT. They're in software development environments. You don't need to code well or for others. Just build. Here's a workflow I use and what it demonstrates about AI's strengths, weaknesses, and where it's headed.

The Hardest Thing to Do with AI is Less

AI makes creation effortless. That's the problem. From unnecessary dashboards to over-engineered authentication systems, AI fills every gap with something that seems useful. Here's why I spent a week removing features from an app that could have taken two days.

Building an AI Practice (And Maybe a Class)

I've been trying to figure out how I got comfortable with AI so I can help others get there. There are many tricks and tips that can be shared that can make someone more effective but the thing I keep coming back to is the practice. The more
