#17 - Target the Moon.
In the boardroom of 2025, the most dangerous phrase you can hear is: "Let's just start with the low-hanging fruit".
It sounds sensible. It sounds lean. In reality, it is a sedative. We are currently caught in a global "Short-termism" trap, a psychological and economic glitch where we prioritize i...

#16 - You cannot outsource your life.
When I was building my home, I hired the best architect in the city. The design was stunning, and they promised to take total ownership to make that vision a reality. I believed them, so I walked away to focus on my business.
When I came back 4 months later, the project was a disaster. I had outs...

#015 - The "Black Box" of Love.
This week has been a rollercoaster. By day, I was involved in a multi-million dollar project negotiation, analyzing risk profiles and demanding logical clarity from every clause. By night, I was completely surrendering logic to a feeling I haven't felt in years.
I have been constantly switching b...

#014 - A Letter to My Pre-AI Self.
You are sitting in that glass-walled office in Warsaw, probably on your third coffee, checking your phone under the table during a board meeting. You are feeling the weight of a failed project—that crater that is still smoking behind you. You are tired. You are defensive. You are trying to outrun...

#013 - Panic Looks Like Productivity.
Your executive team is drowning.
Not because they lack intelligence. Not because they lack effort. They are drowning because they mistake motion for progress.
I see it every week. Senior leaders are rushing from meeting to meeting. They launch new initiatives before finishing old ones. They pivot...

#012 - Attention Span: 8 Seconds. Bullshit Job: 8 Hours.
A "bullshit job" isn't a shit job.
A shit job is necessary. A garbage collector or a hospital cleaner does vital, but challenging work.
A "bullshit job," as defined by the late anthropologist David Graeber, is a role that the person doing it secretly believes is pointless. If the job were to disa...

#011 - Return on Intelligence.
Your CFO asked for the ROI on that AI project.
You sent her a spreadsheet showing $300K in annual savings.
She approved it.
You just made a $3 million mistake.

The Courage Part
Here's what most executives won't tell you: measuring AI on cost savings alone is career suicide.
Not because the savi...

#010 - I Lost €50 Million and the Woman I Loved. I Found Who I Am.
The most important things I know, I learned by losing.
Not by winning. Not by building. Not by achieving.
By losing.
Twice I've been crushed by loss. Once by love. Once by money.
Both taught me the same lesson.

The Woman
I couldn't breathe around her. Not because of desire—though there was plen...

#009 - Delay is a Decision.
Most executive AI strategies are built on a dangerous illusion.
The illusion of participation.
You run pilots. You fund experiments. You brief the board on "your AI journey." You feel you are in the game.
You are confusing activity with progress.
I see this every day. Confident leaders sliding to...

#008 - Meaning is the New Metric.
Your IQ of 150 meant something once.
So did your MBA. Your flawless execution. Your strategic mind. But AI models now score higher on intelligence tests than most humans. They've graduated from every discipline you've mastered.Ā
What now?

The End of Performance.
AI crushes the tasks you once to...

#007 - The Year You Started Cloning Yourself.
The conversation around AI in the executive suite has become predictable, and frankly, a little boring. We're told AI is a hyper-efficient assistant that can summarize meetings, clear our inboxes, and draft emails. These are fine, but they are tactical efficiencies. It's using a supercomputer to ...

#006 - Are you ready for AGI, Winnetou?
It was 1885. London was a shitty place. Literally.
Horses ran the city. Within a decade, the capital city relied on roughly 300,000 of them to move people and goods. Then things started to change.
Benz filed his patent in 1886. Daimler and Maybach fitted engines to almost everything on wheels. Pe...
