Earlier in 2026, I found myself isolated from humans and in an unhealthy relationship with AI.
What it looked like
I'd be running prompts and building things when it was time to pick my kids up from school. So I'd put my laptop on my hotspot and keep vibe coding while I sat in the pickup line.
I caught myself doing the same thing while loading the dishwasher.
At the same time, my business of 11 years started going down the toilet, because I was talking to AI instead of humans.
It took me a minute to realize what was happening. I started to not feel good, physically or mentally. I was tired from being up late at night talking to it, and mentally I didn't feel good at all.
Then something snapped. I realized I might be in a position to help others before they get there. And if they're already there, I can help them see what's possible and build a healthy relationship with emerging technology.
It's being forced on us
The reality is this technology is being forced on us, unlike alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, or other addictive things. In fact, Google just told schools: if you shut off AI, we'll shut off Google search for your students.
That's disheartening. It causes career shifts. It causes identity shifts. It causes so many changes we don't even know about yet, and we're all still figuring it out.
Why me
I've had the benefit of studying recovery and addiction across a wide range of topics, mostly through my own journey as a human. A lot of people come to me for counsel because I help them make sense of things.
So I've decided to open up about AI and help people use it in a positive, additive way instead of a negative one.
How I can help
Think of this as a place where we can just talk.
Got a fear about AI, even an irrational one? Let's talk about it.
Looking for career guidance? I can help with that.
Trying to figure out how to lead your family through it? I can help with that.
A founder trying to figure out how not to lose your company? I can help with that as well.
Anything's on the table, and you don't have to be a business owner.
There's literally no obligation to ever meet with me again. I just love hearing how people are managing, and if there's a way for me to help, I'll help.
