Mind × Muscle Connection

Physical training isn't just about aesthetics—it's a cornerstone of my cognitive performance and decision-making framework.

  • Resistance training improves executive function and working memory
  • Cardio enhances neuroplasticity and creative problem-solving
  • Discipline in the gym translates to discipline in business and life
  • Physical resilience builds mental toughness for entrepreneurial challenges

Live Thoughts

A digital whiteboard of ideas, projects, and insights in progress.

The most valuable skill in the AI era isn't coding—it's knowing what to ask for and how to evaluate the output.

Reading 'Thinking in Systems' by Donella Meadows. Her framework for identifying leverage points in complex systems is transformative for product strategy.

Working on a new framework for evaluating AI readiness in traditional businesses. Most companies focus on the wrong metrics.

The best founders I know don't just solve problems—they anticipate them before they become visible to others.

Hypothesis: The companies that will dominate the next decade will be those that master the art of human-AI collaboration, not just AI implementation.

4 days ago

Building a personal knowledge management system that combines graph-based connections with spaced repetition for learning.

Theory of Change

A framework for transforming how we build AI solutions that create meaningful impact.

Problem Definition

Most AI implementations fail because they solve technical problems rather than human ones. The first step is reframing the challenge from a human-centered perspective.

Key Insight

The most valuable problems to solve are often not the ones initially presented. By reframing challenges through a human lens, we discover opportunities for transformative impact rather than incremental improvement.

Example: Decision Fatigue

Technical framing: "We need an AI that can process more data points for decision-making."
Human-centered reframing: "Executives face cognitive overload that leads to decision paralysis. How might we reduce the mental burden while improving decision quality?"
