I learned this on a basketball court, and it’s separates them from those that get stuck in failure mode. I was stuck in my chair, feet up, ice pack under my achilles, while on a zoom call. Age has finally caught up to me. My achilles had been hurting from either playing basketball or doing […]
From Occupational Therapist to Full-Time Artist – Finding Meaning Through Sensory Experience Sara Baumann left a successful career in occupational therapy to become a full-time artist (and she’s never looked back). In this conversation, we explore why passion beats monotony, how we’re literally losing our senses in a digital world, and what makes human creativity […]
I learned this from founders outsourcing the one main skill they need to build “There’s nothing like a done-for-you service.” That’s what I thought as I sat, decompressing after a difficult conversation with a client. I helped this founder line up sales conversations for their new product. We started off the engagement with clarity. Everything […]
I stalled – and all the education in the world couldn’t help My digital twin now has a WhatsApp number. You can click and send it a message now. When I built this last month, I moved fast. I got the Twilio integration connected to a WhatsApp business number. Everything was smooth sailing for the […]

When I got my first payment outside a job setting, my entire mind got rewired. I realized the value of capturing value […]
The manufacturing lesson I learned over a decade about where value truly lives and how to create your unfair advantage I’m done keeping up with AI. Not because I don’t like learning. Because I learned something a while back that reminds me of what I’m seeing. I came to the humbling realization a few weeks […]
Why I now pay a “building tax” before every new feature I build Here is the voice agent I built last week (+1-833-659-8124). You can call it. I’m genuinely unsure if it is useful. Meanwhile, I’m spending my days doing something completely opposite – talking to people about my business. That contradiction recently brought some […]
What a kid hugging a delivery robot taught me about innovation I just released a free 7-day LinkedIn course called SHIP 7. That’s what I was laser-sharp focused on last week Saturday at a coffee shop, early in the morning. Until I saw something that broke me out of my zone. It was one of […]
