PhD in Artificial Intelligence

Claritybeforevelocity.

I help people onboard the AI moment — with purpose, not panic.

Philosophy

Directionless Velocity

Most people talking about AI right now don't know where they're going either. They're just running faster.

AI does not create clarity. It amplifies what is already clear. If you don't know what to amplify, AI just multiplies confusion.

The correct order matters.

01 — Clarity

Focus

Who do I help best? What do they get specifically from me? Why me?

02 — Container

Offer

A talk, workshop, journey, blog, service, product, SaaS, or app — whatever you can imagine.

03 — AI

Amplifier

Turn a talk into a structured program, extend reach, increase leverage without draining you.

AI should feel like "Oh… this makes my work lighter." Not heavier.
