I’ve had a few open decisions sitting in the background lately.This week, I decided to deal with them. ExitLab – Week 1This week wasn’t about output.It was about decisions. I’ve also been working on the e-book. Not by writing pages, not yet, but by structuring them. Through experience, and a fair amount of trial and […]
Most company content isn’t bad. It’s just… forgettable. In fact, a lot of what we call forgettable company content follows the same pattern. Most companies say the right things. High quality. Reliable. Professional.Designed for performance. Built to last. Nothing is wrong with it. But nothing sticks. Because the problem isn’t the writing. It’s that everything
AI can write fast.But most of what it writes feels empty. I think that’s creating a strange illusion right now. Because text shows up on the screen, it’s easy to believe the hard part is done.That writing has somehow become easy. But typing words was never the skill. The skill is knowing what to say.Why

Most financial advice stops working when money gets tight. Save 10% of your income.Invest consistently.Cut unnecessary spending. On paper, it makes perfect sense. In real life, it’s often a different story. There’s a hidden assumption behind almost all of this advice. That you actually have room to choose. Because as long as you can prioritize
