The Problem With Your AI Setup Is You
Your AI workflows are probably fine. The problem is that they still wait for you to show up. Moving from automation to autonomy is less about capability and more about your willingness to let go.

Product Managers, Stop Carrying Water for Your AI
You paste in Slack threads, Jira tickets, meeting notes. The AI writes something great. But you spent an hour gathering context so it could spend ten seconds synthesizing. You're doing the grinding. It's having the fun. That doesn't feel right.
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
Choosing tech based on what accelerates my agentic workflow means I focus on what to build and why, not how to navigate dashboards. When Claude Code can use Vapi's CLI but struggles with ElevenLabs' UI, the decision makes itself.
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.
