Broken promises and shattered dreams


I've been very quiet for months.


I'm not ignoring you.


The major shifts by Google, Facebook and social media engagement has consumed me.


AI has consumed me.


So many opportunities.


So many platforms.


The AI explosion reminds me of the internet 1.0 boom.


In the late 1990s, everyone was racing to jump on the internet bandwagon.


So many opportunities.


So many ideas.


A friend left a stable job at Chevron to join a dot com startup.


Within a year, his stock options were worth $75 million...


...on paper.


He took out a second mortgage on his house and invested everything into more stock options.


A few months later, his company went bust.


He lost everything.


His job.


His house.


His car.


And his marriage.


Eventually, the AI industry will consolidate.


The cream will rise to the top.


The weak will disappear in a slew of broken promises and shattered dreams.


In 2024, I invested heavily into learning AI.


I invested in two masterminds and numerous coaching programs to stay ahead of the curve.


Most of what I learned last January is obsolete.


AI tools are evolving faster than any technology I've seen in my 30+ year career.


Google, Facebook, Instagram and online marketing are undergoing massive shifts.


Where should we invest our time and money in 2025?


You don’t have time to sift through countless platforms and tools.


You can’t afford to fall behind in your career or business.

I have an app on my Apple Watch that tells me when I'm stressed. Of course, I don't need an app to tell me when I'm stressed. The app measures a million data points, including my heart rate variability (HRV). Sometimes I'm alerted I need to slow down or mediate when I'm chilling in my La-Z-Boy. I feel relaxed, but my HRV spikes. The other day, I figured out what caused my HRV spikes. I'll be scrolling social media or scanning the news headlines when I receive an alert.I don't feel the spike...

Not just felt satisfied—but lit up, alive, like my three-year-old grandson when he does his happy dance. Somewhere along the path to being responsible, respected, and reliable… we traded spontaneity for stability. We’ve mastered our craft, built reputations, led teams. But somewhere along the way, joy slipped quietly out the back door.Here’s the thing:The second half of life isn’t about proving yourself—it's about remembering who you really are.Joy isn’t a bonus for making it through the hard...
