I desire to bring you "Honest AI" to make sense of the complex world of artificial intelligence, ethics, and the future of work. Understand what’s genuine—honest!— vs. the hype.

Genade Inc.

Genade was a nice learning experience :)

We built digital products to help insurance agents, brokers, wholesalers to automate customer acquisition, lead qualification tasks, and the quoting process. Some examples were interactive web apps that run prospects' fact-finding, qualify leads, pre-populate ACORD forms, and organize information in a super simple CRM. Insurance agents and brokers who used our tools saw a significant increase in time savings and could manage twice as many customers.

We were honored to win the support of:
• 2018 - 19 NYU 300K Entrepreneurs Challenge (Semi-finalist)
• 2019 NYU Summer Launchpad
• 2019 NYU Summer Sprint
• Ignite Fellowship Beta

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic introduced team and sales dynamics that made our quest difficult to drive forward.

Genade's story ended in December 2020. Many challenges in the world of insurance agents' productivity, lead management, and customer acquisition remain unsolved, and we failed to create a sustainable platform for running an insurance agency on autopilot.

AI can be both technically brilliant and used to build a deeply human future.

I've built AI systems from the ground up, written "The Ethics of AI," and advised hundreds of leaders navigating this transformation. I've learned most teams get lost chasing shiny tech while forgetting the humans who actually use it.

I see everywhere this pattern:

- AI projects that sound impressive but fail in practice
- Teams paralyzed by ethical concerns
- Leaders afraid they're falling behind
- Products that work on paper but frustrate real users

My focus is simple: helping you build or use AI that actually serves people. That works for you, and not against you.

Not AI for AI's sake. Not algorithms that impress other engineers. AI that solves real problems and creates genuine value.

I work with founders and leaders who want to:

☑ Build products users actually love
☑ Navigate ethical challenges with confidence
☑ Create sustainable competitive advantages
☑ Sleep well knowing their AI makes the world better

If you're tired of AI hype and want practical guidance on building technology that matters, let's connect.

Most people hyping the latest AI tool haven't built anything beyond a 30-minute demo.

Josh did the opposite. Product-focused CTO with 25 years of coding experience:

He went all-in, spending 3 months using AI to write every line of code for a new product (attention! Not a toy project.) as a real test of what happens when you actually commit.

The product shipped. It worked. He felt productive.

Then he needed to make a simple change and couldn't confidently modify his own code.

"Who owns that product, Josh? You or Claude Code?" Bob Galen asked him.

The answer: Claude Code owned it. Josh had become a passenger in his own product development.

This is the intellectual honesty the AI conversation needs. Not another breathless demo. Not another "look what I built in 10 minutes" post. An actual engineer doing the hard work of understanding what happens when delegation replaces comprehension.

His November deep-dive article shares what he learned the hard way, five principles that aren't sexy or revolutionary, but are real, sustainable, and work beyond the honeymoon phase:

1️⃣ Own the architecture
2️⃣ Make the hard decisions
3️⃣ Maintain the context
4️⃣ Understand the why
5️⃣ Take responsibility when it breaks

That's how you actually integrate this technology without eroding the skills that make you valuable.

Josh's story matters because he had the courage to admit what happened when he delegated too much. And more importantly, he documented exactly how to avoid making the same mistake.

Bubble breaks!
Tiny resets matter.
Stop grinding. Add more micro-breaks.

When your brain is overloaded, you need a pattern interrupt.

A walk.
A stretch.
A laugh.
Or yes… a bubble wand.

This is your reminder:
Rest doesn’t have to be complicated.
And recovery doesn’t have to be serious.

Sometimes the healthiest reset is the one that makes you smile.

💙 Save this for your next “I just need a minute” kind of day.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” 
 – Leonardo da Vinci

A chaotic work life affects you more than you realise.
When life gets busy, it’s too easy to add more.
More tools. More tasks. More multitasking. More noise.

But high performers do the opposite — 
they know about Hicks Law and the paradox of choice.

The more options you have, the slower and harder it is to decide.
It shows up everywhere: overflowing inboxes, cluttered desks, too many tasks, too many projects.

Simplicity creates space.
And space creates clarity and ease.

Here are 5 simple ways to organise your day so you can think clearly and work intentionally.

___   ___   ___  

𝟏. The Quiet Protocol
• Protect three distraction-free mornings each week.
• No meetings. Just focused, strategic work.
• MIT found teams were 73% more productive when they protected these hours together.

𝟐. Daily Single Source of Truth
• Stop spreading tasks across lists, emails, apps, and chats.
• Capture everything in one simple daily list, segmented by day.
• This becomes your calm, reliable point of reference.

𝟑. Stop Multitasking 
• Multitasking slows you by up to 40%, increases errors, and drains your energy.
• Do one task at a time. It’s that simple. 
• Single-tasking helps you find flow, feel calmer, and get more done.

𝟒. Comms Boundaries
• Choose set times for email and IM to break the checking habit.
• Batch meetings in the middle of the day.
• Clear boundaries buy back hours of focus.

𝟓. Shutdown Intentionally
• Close out today’s loose ends and set tomorrow’s top three.
• Notice today’s progress — small wins fuel motivation.
• A clean shutdown helps your brain rest and reset.

Da Vinci wasn’t talking about art. He was talking about life — 
simplify, and everything works better.

💙 Save this for later. Your future self will thank you.
