Thoughts
The thinking behind the work.
On human performance, AI strategy, creativity, and what it takes to build organizations — and people — that last. Occasional, intentional, worth your time.
Designing the mind
The brain isn't just something that happens to you — it's something you can design. Drawing on neuroscience, from the triune brain model to the default mode network, this piece maps out how understanding your mind's architecture lets you intentionally build the conditions for creativity, better decisions, and peak performance. The research has been there for decades. Most people just haven't been given the framework to use it.
Lessons from neuroscience
The brain isn't a fixed machine — it's a system that questions, experiments, and rewires itself. Three principles I studied in a neuroscience lab have turned out to be the most practical frameworks I've ever brought into an organization. Turns out the brain knew what good strategy looked like long before business did.
Theory of Consciousness
There are billions of people in the worlds— billions of brains. Just as no two people are identical, no two brains are identical. Each of us has our own consciousness that makes us distinct from everyone else and because everyone interacts with his or her own consciousness, it is an intimately familiar, yet notoriously ambiguous concept.
The newsletter
The thinking I don’t publish anywhere else.
Occasional dispatches on human performance, AI strategy, and the work of building things that last. No cadence pressure — only when there's something worth saying.
