Supported by Kit When I was a kid, there was this bright red tunnel-slide in the park. Maybe it's still there; maybe there's a version of it in every park. But it's fully enclosed and the inside has an orange tint from the sunlight. And depending on your proportion, you'd either fly down and skip your butt on the grass or get stuck mid-way and have to scoot down. But the best part of that slide was turning around and climbing up from the inside. It defied design and reason, and annoyed the other kids waiting to slide down. But it's kind of a beautiful act: to take something designed for use in one way and doing the opposite. To me, that's exactly what creativity is: a gleaming mixture of resourcefulness and defiance. It might be stupid, but it also might be fun. It might even make you the coolest kid on the block. BEHIND THE BUSINESSThings I'm Thinking About for 2026 Businesses
I've got AI talks scheduled this summer for organizations like the Equality Chamber of Commerce and a local Phoenix Business Bootcamp, and I think it's amazing they're investing in their members like this. The truth is if you're organization isn't investing in keeping employees on top of what's possible in the world of AI, you're missing out on your people's genius, because the fastest way to filter for good people is to give them the tools to build what helps the role. These tools don't do their job, they help them do their job better. Used correctly, it's an automatic upgrade from implementation to oversight and strategy. AI Architecture is a space I'm building for select clients: identifying the roles in their organizations, the responsibilities, the metrics that matter, and seeing how we can support the humans in them.

Can you make it work with remote employees? Can you make it work without you? What has to be true to make it work without you? And would you even want that? That's what I'm thinking about these days. Let's do some live hang outs or learning sessions. Reply with what you'd love to learn more about and let's see if we can make it happen.
