I've always been captivated by the journey people take to discover their life's true calling. While we often hear about the famous founders and trailblazers, there are countless others who toil away each day, quietly pursuing their dreams. They build, they grow, they stumble and pick themselves up, all without the spotlight of fame, finding immense joy in the simple act of getting things done.

I found my life's purpose at the age of 40. Now, I'm determined to spend the next forty+ years on a journey of building, growing, failing, and learning, surrounded by a diverse group of rebels who share my passion. Together, we aim to push boundaries and contribute to making the world a better and more fascinating place.

I’m an AI Lawyer. No I’m an AI Lawyer. No I’m…

Linklaters launched a cohort of lawyers that are “AI Native.” I’m sure we will see hundreds more firms designate their lawyers as AI Superheros. 

Be skeptical. We are still early days and while I applaud firms trying to transform, much of what we see right now is AI marketing theater. 
Lots of talk, some use of AI platforms, not much actual transformation. 

AI isn’t like other software. It requires a fundamental step change in how you approach its use and for a firm, how it benefits the user and customer. You need to be creative and think outside the standard precedent. 

So I’m personally watching for how firms leverage actual practical use cases. 
Not just the marketing clickbait.

Skunks works usually means advanced R&D but I started Thanksgiving week with a friendly visit from Pepé Le Pew! 🦨 

In my part of the world, here in the Midwest, USA, you get skunks. We have a couple that roam our neighborhood. 

If you have a dog, like we do, you know that at some point you are probably going to deal with a skunk spraying your dog unless you are very careful or very lucky. Well, my luck ran out 🤦🏽‍♂️

This guy decided to lose a fight with the worst smell and then bring it into my house! 

Luckily he is safe, most of the smell has now been removed from dog, humans and house. So I guess, on the positive side, I now have another story to tell 😝

Happy Turkey week for those that celebrate 🍗

P.S. props to Jillian Richardson 👋 for reminding me that always being professional is boring.
