Lately, I’ve been thinking about my own evolution with AI and creativity in general. Not just the tools. Not just ChatGPT vs Claude, image generators, music tools, automation platforms, or the new thing that seems to drop every other week. I mean my actual relationship with AI. And no, not one of those AI fetish…
Vibe Coding Websites And Apps Has Arrived Collins Dictionary named “vibe coding” its word of the year in 2025. And honestly? That make sense. The barrier to building something that looks professional has basically collapsed. Give a decent AI tool a decent prompt, iterate for a few hours, and you can have a functioning, polished…
Most people who know me can probably place me in one of four boxes. There’s the sports version of me. Rugby, track, football. From Wellesley high school and my years at Bates College, to playing men’s club rugby with teams like the Boston Irish Wolfhounds. Then there’s the media and music version. I’ve recently shared…
I’ve always loved creating things. Not just for myself, but in ways that other people actually appreciate and find useful. And look, not to toot my own horn, but I’ve never really struggled with coming up with creative ideas. That was never my problem. The real challenge? How do I actually maximize my creativity when…
I saw this headline last week and couldn’t stop thinking about it. Khaby Lame, the guy who built 162 million TikTok followers by silently mocking overcomplicated life hacks, just sold his company to Rich Sparkle Holdings for $975 million. The deal includes global rights to his brand, his intellectual property, and something that stopped me…
Cooper Flagg just scored 49 points against the Charlotte Hornets. At 19 years old, he set the NBA record for most points scored by a teenager. Not tied it. Set it. The thing that got me wasn’t just the number, though 49 is absurd for anyone, let alone a kid who’s barely been in the…
Or: Why companies keep saying they can’t find diverse talent, and why that diagnosis is costing them more than they think Picture this: A company posts a job. The requirements list includes “4-year degree required,” “5+ years of experience,” and “must be fluent in [specific enterprise software].” They get 300 applications. After filtering, 12 make…
Normacism Framework DefinitionThe Normacism framework is a diagnostic lens for identifying when systems, rules, or institutional norms are treated as neutral and unquestionable, even when they consistently produce unequal or harmful outcomes. It focuses on how unexamined baselines become protected from scrutiny across social, political, and organizational systems. Most people assume injustice is driven by…
I’m going to be real with you. When I finished my 2026 Online Visibility Playbook last week, I had that kinda funky akward feeling every solo builder knows: Is this actually on point, or do I just think it’s good because I’ve been staring at it for weeks? So I did what any sane strategist…
Building Products with AI in 2026 There’s a moment every builder knows. You’re deep in the product, everything should work, and then… it doesn’t. The lead capture feature breaks. The QR card won’t display. The data shows up for you but not for the user. And suddenly you’re three hours into troubleshooting Row-Level Security settings…
So ChatGPT dropped my Year-In-Review stats this week and, not gonna lie, I had to do a double-take. Top 1% of messages sent. First 1% of users. Roughly 25,000 messages! Twenty-five thousand. That’s not just a lot, that’s basically having a full-time AI coworker who never takes lunch breaks, never calls in sick, and apparently…
Look, as usual, I need to keep it real since I’m not going to sugarcoat it… building an app as a solo creator is a special kind of madness. I’m sure you’ve heard Jensen Huang or Elon Musk talk say something off the sort, and they aren’t kidding. You know that feeling when you think…
Whoa! When I saw the Adobe/SEMRush acquisition announcement this morning, I actually got a little excited. And if you know me, you know I don’t get hyped about corporate acquisitions unless they actually mean something for how we do business or, of course, if I’m involved and getting paid – which I’m not. But this…
Patriots up 21-16. 1:43 left in the game. 2nd and 9. Running back TreVeyon Henderson breaks through Tampa Bay’s defense for a 69-yard run, wide open, clear path to the end zone. But instead of taking the easy touchdown, he glances over at the sideline, essentially asking: “Should I score, or should I go down?”…
