Writing about AI, Bitcoin, the Economic Singularity, digital transformation, and the future of work.

• The Phase Transition: Why This Isn't a Cycle, It's a State Change (2026-04-04) - We are not in a recession, a correction, or a cycle. We are in a phase transition. Two forces, infinite money and zero-cost intelligence, are boiling the global economy into something unrecognizable. The rules of the liquid world no longer apply.
• How Much Does a Keynote Speaker Cost in 2026? A Guide for Event Planners (2026-04-02) - Keynote speaker fees range from $5,000 to $75,000+ depending on experience, topic complexity, geography, and format. Here's what event planners need to know about budgeting for a speaker.
• Compounded Intelligence Is the Last Moat (2026-04-01) - Every competitive advantage in business is being commoditized by AI. Speed, data, infrastructure, all buyable. The last edge is the institutional knowledge your organization accumulates over time. Most companies are giving it away.
• How to Choose the Right AI Keynote Speaker for Your Event (2026-03-31) - Not all AI speakers are created equal. Here's an event planner's guide to evaluating AI keynote speakers: what to look for, red flags to avoid, and questions that separate real expertise from polished presentations.
• Zero Marginal Human: What Happens When AI Does Your Job for Free (2026-03-28) - The cost of cognitive labor is collapsing toward zero. A human lawyer costs $500 per hour. An AI legal agent costs $0.05 per token. The market will arbitrage this spread ruthlessly. The cognitive sanctuary is gone.
• The Great Sorting: Three Tiers of the Post-Labor Economy (2026-03-25) - Society is not collapsing. It is crystallizing into a rigid, algorithmic caste system defined by one metric: agency. Your relationship with the superintelligence determines your tier. Sovereign, Technocrat, or Serf.
• The $140 Trillion Exodus: Why the Bond Market Is Breaking (2026-03-21) - The US Treasury bond was the bedrock of global finance. In 2026, it is a certificate of confiscation. The $140 trillion fixed income market is melting, and the capital trapped inside must flow somewhere.
• The Sovereign Protocol: Why AI Needs Bitcoin (And Vice Versa) (2026-03-18) - AI is collapsing the cost of intelligence to zero. Fiat is collapsing the value of money to zero. These two forces are converging into a single, civilizational phase transition. Bitcoin is the only settlement layer that survives the convergence.
• Building the Agent Economy: Trust, Budgets, and a Knowledge Marketplace on Bitcoin Lightning (2026-03-14) - AI agents can autonomously pay for services over the Lightning Network. But spending money is the easy part. Verifying vendors, enforcing budgets, and trading knowledge require infrastructure that didn't exist. So I built it.
• I Built an Agent That Trades on Bitcoin Lightning. It Remembered Nothing. So I Built a Brain. (2026-03-13) - L402 lets AI agents pay for APIs with Lightning. But they forget everything between sessions. I built Lightning Memory to fix that. Interactive demo included.
• Why Every CFO Should Understand Bitcoin Treasury Strategy (2026-03-10) - Bitcoin is no longer a fringe asset. Companies like Strategy and Tesla hold billions on their balance sheets. Here's why CFOs need to understand this shift.
• What AI Agents Will Do to Your Industry in the Next 5 Years (2026-03-08) - AI agents are moving from demos to production. The shift from chatbots to autonomous agents will transform every industry. Here's what leaders need to know.
• Your Claude AI Agent Has Amnesia. Omega Remembers. (2026-03-01) - I cracked the code on agentic memory for AI tools. If you're using Claude Desktop and craving persistent memory across sessions, OMEGA is here.
• Digital Transformation Is Failing. Here's Why. (2026-02-20) - 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail. After years of advising financial institutions, I've seen the same patterns. The problem isn't technology.
• Innovation Culture Can't Be Mandated. It Has to Be Designed. (2026-02-15) - Ping pong tables don't create innovation. Psychological safety, permission to fail, and aligned incentives do. Here's what I've learned from 25 years of building.
• Inside the Full Exposure Podcast: AI, Startups, and Pushing Humanity Forward (2026-02-10) - I joined Brian Kelly on the Full Exposure podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about building AI companies, the future of work, and what it means to push humanity forward.
• Forget Bitcoin. It's About Financial Sovereignty. (2025-12-08) - Stop talking about Bitcoin the asset. Start talking about what people actually want: to work their entire life and not watch the money they saved get inflated into confetti.
• Bitcoin + AI Convergence: My Talk at Bitcoin Amsterdam (2025-12-04) - I spoke on the main stage at Bitcoin Amsterdam about the convergence of AI agents and Bitcoin. The next two years will be defined by these two technologies coming together.
• Old Rules vs New Rules for Work (2020-12-03) - You've been following the rules of work established generations ago. What no one has told you is that there is a NEW set of rules, and it's been emerging for quite some time.
• The Story of the Future of Work (2018-06-15) - A three-part exploration of how AI, automation, and distributed teams are reshaping small-town America and what leaders can do to build a preferred future.
• The Coming Transhuman Era (2017-06-29) - From my TEDx Grand Rapids talk: the convergence of AI, biotech, and human augmentation is accelerating faster than most realize. What happens when technology advances beyond our ability to adapt?
• IMRSV Acquired by Kairos: Reflections on a Four-Year Journey (2015-04-08) - After four years building IMRSV, our emotion analysis company was acquired by facial recognition firm Kairos. A short reflection on an epic journey.
