What were you doing Sept 2024? I was cruising to v***r wave in Cali after a music festival.

What was dope about that? I was in the moment.

whatever was dope about what you were doing in September 2024 is an element to an equation of how you might fast forward in your life.

I didn’t write a traditional self-help book because only you and your soul know exactly what you need.

Track your truth.
Create your rhythm.
Remix your reality.

Just took a sunset walk and now I’m headed to a coffee shop to do my weekly review and planning in my Relax & Remix Journal. Prioritizing my weekly review and planning time has exponentially improved my mental health, prioritization, and focus on what truly matters to me.

I was just checking out Jonathan Courtney’s latest episode of The Unscheduled CEO and he touched on a topic I don’t think we are talking about enough: how lazy it is to use AI for everything.

His exact words:

“Someone pitched me this week in German, when every trace of me on the internet is in English. Someone else opened with obvious AI slop, and in my mind that person is blacklisted, because lazy outreach means lazy work.

My split: use AI for the research, the strategy, the list of who to contact and what their problems are, then write the email yourself, click their website, watch their videos, maybe record a quick Loom. Ten extra minutes of effort puts you ahead of basically everyone, because the people you’re competing against will not do it.”

I freaking love this!

We are starting to have more people speak about how lazy it is to use AI for everything. This is why I’m so passionate about consulting with organizations that are interested in leveraging AI in the smartest ways possible, to support their team with the staying the smartest team in the game.

You know ball, so keep the ball. ⚽️🥅

When you allow yourself to use AI for almost every step of your process, you are no longer sharpening your sword. You are allowing your brain to be transferred into a language model.

Also, your interactions in touch points with your audience, leads, clients becomes flatter and less personalized. No one is impressed by something that can tell is AI.

In this time of AI slop it really means something to write an email yourself. The human touch is more important than it ever before are your team’s systems of working leveraging AI in a strategic way?

If not, you probably need to work with a service designer to collaborate with you in assessing and designing your approach.

Let’s chat, send me a DM.

Your most overlooked leadership skill isn’t strategy or vision. It’s listening.

And most of us are doing it wrong.
We listen to reply, to fix, to win.

What if you deepen your practice of listening to understand?

To lead from a place of deep clarity, not just reaction?

The shift starts with a simple, profound reframe: listen as if to a mountain.

In my latest article, I break down the 3-step method to transform your conversations and your leadership. This is the foundation of a resilient, heart-centered practice.
