When the Identity You Assumed Can No Longer Hold You
There’s the you that you are…and the you that you had to become to make it this far. The second one — the assumed identity — is a quiet masterpiece of survival. It works. For a long time, it works. People applaud it. They reward it. They trust it. You trust it too — because…

AI Does Not Elevate Thinking. It Meets You at Your Level of Input.
Over the last few days, I’ve been sitting with two ideas: From MIT Sloan: knowledge is now democratized, and judgment—not information—is the real differentiator. From J.I. Baker: our brains have shifted from remembering information to remembering where it’s stored. And today, both of these collide into a third truth: AI will not lift the quality…

How to Prevent Memory Erosion in this Digi-AI Era
In 2019, J.I. Baker wrote an article called “The Digital-Era Brain.” At the time, the big concern was distraction.

On Strategy, Stories & What Actually Lives Inside a Plan
I didn’t walk into the Fundable & Findable book club expecting much.

How to Suffer Less & Live More
Most of us want to move through life with a little more ease… yet our emotional landscape often feels crowded, tight, or noisy in ways we can’t quite name. We want relief, but we’re rarely taught how to create it. We’re encouraged to journal… but most journaling begins as a kind of free fall. A…
