This past week’s walk brought an interesting mix. Ruan drove over an hour and a half to be there at 5:55, which says something about rhythm, commitment, and choosing something simple and sticking to it.
AI came up again. It always does lately. Not in a hype-driven way, more so in a comparative way, with people trying to make sense of what’s real and what’s mainstream noise.
What stood out wasn’t the technology itself, but the contrast. Larger companies with heavy systems and slower decision cycles versus smaller, more adaptive players moving faster, refining quicker, and building with more precision.
There’s a shift in how things get created. Speed has changed, and so has specificity. What used to be close enough is being replaced with something far more tailored, and the ability to iterate in real time is quickly becoming baseline.
It left me thinking less about what AI can do, and more about how people are positioning themselves in relation to it. Not just the tools they use, but how they think, where they focus, and what they choose to double down on.
Because underneath it all, the real question isn’t about the technology. It’s about the individual using it.
If you haven’t gotten your steps in, or moved your body today, go and do that! Have a great one✊
