The one thing that drives everything

Knowledge kept private helps no one. So I share what I learn.

My story

I saw where the future was heading. So I went there first.

In 2009 I was just getting started with Twitter, figuring out how to build a platform online. By 2014 that knowledge was a full-time consulting career.

The story didn’t end there.

I saw early that AI would change how we work, create, and live. While others were still chasing social algorithms, I was experimenting with AI and finding the openings they missed.

That’s how Magai was born. AI should be for everyone. Not just tech giants and data scientists.

Now I’m building it in public. The landscape has changed completely. My approach hasn’t: learn, apply, share.

The short version

2009Started on Twitter. Learned how platforms get built.
2011Started this blog. Five million readers since.
2014Went full-time as a consultant.
2023Shipped Magai while most people were learning what a prompt was.

This blog

Unfiltered. No platitudes. The uncomfortable truths that give you an edge.

It started as a place to document what I was learning. It became a resource for people finding their way through a world that won’t hold still.

I don’t sugar-coat reality. I won’t waste your time. And I refuse to keep a useful insight to myself just because it challenges conventional wisdom.

You shouldn’t settle for less either.

My family

Family is the foundation. It’s why I build.

My wife and I have been married for over 15 years. We have three amazing children. We live in beautiful Southern California.

I build to make something meaningful. Something that changes how we’ll live and work.
