#025 - Efficient today. Leaderless in 2030.

I keep having the same conversation. Different city. Different industry. Different company size. But the same conversation. An executive tells me about their AI transformation. How they automated the entry-level work. Cut the graduate intake. Flattened two management layers. Reduced headcount by ...

#023 - I Owe You an Update. The Timeline Changed.

I have my routines that make me strong. Or stronger. Exercising every day. Taking a walk in my forest. Reading. Meditating. Learning. They are not impressive. They are not optimized. They are not hacks. They are the small, repeatable things that hold a person together when the world keeps changin...

#020 - Stop Diagnosing. Start Building.

I was thinking recently about the beautiful journey of building a family from a romantic relationship. It's an adventure filled with discovery. Yes, there are twists and turns, but that's what makes it real. You bring different strengths to the table. You carry stories from your past that shaped ...

#017 - 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...

#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...

#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...

#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. 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...
