I'm building a compass for the age of AI

I built a video guide to AI & Careers.

It's 30 minutes. You have 30 minutes to think about how AI is going to shape your career don't you?It's just one episode of your favorite show (mine is What We Do in the Shadows btw).My goal with this video is to help you understand macro AI trends and start to think strategically about how AI may affect your career.If you watch this video and want to go deeper on AI, you can grab a 1:1 with me to learn more.

I believe we build better together.

I created AI Robot Club so we can learn to build with AI, together. I believe we learn AI best by actually playing with it, so I created AI Robot Club so we can all learn to build AI stuff together.This is the place to go if you're curious about building with AI, need some help, and want some regular support in a group context as you sharpen your skills.We'll meet for an hour twice a month after work (Mondays at 5/8ET), and you'll be part of a lively slack community as well!There's no commitment, so if you're just curious give it a shot for a month and see what you build! I think you'll be surprised.

Power up your AI skills with an intensive course.

I'm working with Maven to offer an AI Career Accelerator course. It's designed to give you the chance to really understand AI, dig into macro trends that are shaping all our careers, and emerge with new skills and new conviction around how to shape your future in the age of AI.Try it—the people love it!(You can also probably get it reimbursed by your company lol)

Grab time with me.

Sometimes you just need a check-in. Grab time with me to ask that nagging question, get my perspective on your career, or some quick tips for the road.Whatever it is, it's your time. We can run your pitch deck, practice an interview, talk about promotions.You name it, I've heard it before, and I'm here to help.

Grab ongoing time with me and accelerate.

Sometimes, you need to work alongside someone to get where you want to go. I offer ongoing mentorship and consulting with the goal of accelerating the people I work with, so you get your goals done faster.I find the deepest transformation in career and business often happens through these ongoing conversations, and my advisees have been promoted, raised rounds, switched jobs, and launched and scaled products.If you'd like to learn more, feel free to reach out with what you're looking for to [email protected] and we'll go from there. Talk soon!

Have something else in mind? Yes, I occasionally do speaking engagements. Yes, you can send me a note about sponsoring a TikTok (I'm selective).Feel free to shoot an email here: [email protected]

From Indonesia to Seattle

I've lived in 30 centuries at once. That's the title of an old Indonesian ad campaign, and it accurately summarizes my 20 years living in Southeast Asia—everywhere from a hut with no electricity to the towers of a megacity.Coups and failing airplane engines have given me an unflappable calm. So has founding, which is its own special class of insanity.I'm still in tech because I think AI is the most interesting technology most of us are going to see in our lifetimes. It's up to us to make it useful, and that's what excites me.Yes, I do many things at once here. If you wonder how I do it, the answer is the usual one: ruthless time management and efficiency. Time is the one thing I can't get back and I treat it that way.When I'm not working, you'll find me on hikes in the PNW, on a plane somewhere new, building Legos, reading books, or taking my kids on unforgettable adventures. We're going to see Taylor Swift next!

Get all my prompts!

I believe much of the alpha in AI is in extraordinary prompts. I treat them like code, and I change them carefully.I've shared a number of them on TikTok, but I've realized there's a need for a regularly updated library of prompts that anyone can access. Prompts that run the gamut from product to engineering to professional development to social posts for marketers. Even prompts for email.I've built them, and you can grab more than 50 pages of them here.

Check out what I'm working on myself.

This is a collection of some of my recent projects. Some are paid, some are not.The common thread is looking to build something useful that slots into existing workflows.Check these out and let me know what you think!

Grow and learn with faciliated peer groups

Sometimes the most effective learning is done in groups.I've noticed a need for more peer support around career growth, and I don't think there's been a great way to do it historically.So I'm building one! Check out the learning groups below and sign up for what works for you!
