Most systems weren’t designed, they just happened. That’s why they exhaust people.

Do you know the story of the "Rugged Individualist?" The "self-made success," who achieved their influence through their hard work alone! This story has a problem... it's not true. And here's why A.I. will kill this story for good.

Complexity often masquerades as “sophistication.” Clarity and simplicity is the real flex.

A.I. wasn't built by individuals. It was built from publicly funded research, open-source code, collective knowledge, data from billions of people, and infrastructure we all paid for together. So why are we pretending it should belong to whoever monetizes it first?

When leaders say “we need alignment,” what this usually means is “we haven’t made the future clear.” Alignment doesn’t come from pressure it comes from shared direction.

A.I. can optimize, but it can't RESTRAIN. A.I. can solve, but it can't know WHAT to solve. A.I. can act, but it can't know when NOT to act. The gap between intelligence and wisdom is about to become a chasm, and historically that chasm leads to catastrophe.

Here's what makes THIS moment so incredibly dangerous... We have unprecedented power. Unprecedented speed. And almost NO restraint. We need more WISDOM.

If wisdom is what we need, HOW do we build it?? I recommend a simply micro-practice called "Pause & Get Curious" Before we react, we take a moment and choose our response. It's simple to understand, challenging to DO, and POWERFUL in growing our wisdom!

If people are afraid to experiment you don’t have a performance problem you don’t have a process problem you have a psychological safety problem.

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." Do you remember that scene from Jurassic Park?? Today, it feels like Dr. Malcom could be talking directly to Sam Altman (or any other AI CEO)...

Most organizations don’t need more "values." They need fewer contradictions. Pay attention to where the stated values and the celebrated behaviors don’t match. That gap is where trust leaks out.

Did you know I used to be a radio DJ?? The nemesis of a radio DJ is, of course, DEAD AIR. These days, I realize that we've taught the entire world to fear "dead air." We rush to respond, we leave no margins in our schedule, we fill every moment with activity. It doesn't have to be this way...

What you tolerate becomes the culture. Silence is a vote.

Wisdom is about knowing when NOT to act. Wisdom = power + restraint. Intelligence is about solving problems. Wisdom is about knowing which problems to solve. Intelligence asks? CAN we do this? Wisdom asks: SHOULD we?

Burnout is rarely a personal failure. It’s usually a signal that the system is asking for more energy than it replenishes. Before telling people to “be resilient,” fix the part of the system that’s quietly draining them.

Hellooooo Tomorrow 🚀 Episode 21 is available NOW! If I could beam this episode straight into the brain of *everyone* working with A.I. right now, I would. Because the biggest danger of A.I. isn't in ITS intelligence but in OUR lack of wisdom. Check out the episode for more!

If a system relies on heroic effort to function it’s already broken. Good systems make the right things easier not heavier.

Before neoliberalism, wages tracked with productivity. Before neoliberalism, unions could negotiate. Before neoliberalism, financial markets couldn't be run like casinos. Before neoliberalism, not everything was a for-profit business.

Economics as we know it is a lie. Not because economists are liars But because the SYSTEM pretends that a whole bunch of things are true... and those things are lies.

I know what some of y'all are thinking... time to eat the rich. I get it, I do. But there's something else here you HAVE to understand...

Love this take. 🤍🍏 It's about A.I., but not really. "We live in an era where just adding new features won’t cut it... our devices need to become easier to use, better organized, and more discoverable... what we need is A Computer for the Rest of Us again." www.macworld.com/article/3044...

Are you super clear about what economics actually IS? I wasn't, so I made this episode! Hope it helps clarify a few things for you, as well...

You don’t need a 10-year plan. You need a 10-year DIRECTION. Plans crack under pressure. Direction adapts. If you know where you’re headed, you can steer through chaos without losing the plot.

Do you understand neoliberalism? It's not what it sounds like...

Stop asking “How do I do more?” Start asking “What creates the most movement?” One question builds a to-do list. The other builds a future you want.

Such a pleasure to chat with Amy Vetter on her Breaking Beliefs podcast! Basically, if you want to know a bunch of stuff about me that I generally only talk about on a first date, this is the episode for you. 😎 www.amyvetter.com/breakingbeli...

We all know what economics is, right? All that stuff about money?? Nope. Economics is actually how we collectively manage our society. Money is just the scorecard. And right now, our version of "economics" is a lie.

When something keeps breaking, don’t fix it for the tenth time. That only treats the symptom. Surface it. Name it. Honor it as a PATTERN. Once a pattern has a name, the system can redesign around that truth. Invisible problems live forever. Visible problems start dying immediately.

If everything is urgent, nothing is. Name the ONE outcome that actually matters today and let everything else happen… if it does.

Hear ye hear ye, Episode 20 of Hello Tomorrow is available now! Everyone thinks economics is about money. It's not. It's an operating system for life. And the version we're running? It's a lie.

Debt strip-mines the future to make the present work. Once you see this pattern, you'll start to see it everywhere. In finance. In real estate. In technology. In your pocket (ahem, credit cards). It's everywhere, all around us, all at once.

The future rarely ambushes people with good rituals. Try a weekly 15-minute team check-in: “What shifted this week, and what does it mean?” Not the news. Not the drama. Meaning. Most people react. Leaders interpret. And they’re hardcore about their rituals.

Here's few mind-blowing truths about language... That's it, just watch. 😎

I loved being in conversation with the amazing Susan Drumm! We cover a lot of topics in this one, but my favorite point is a simple one: Burnout is a workplace design flaw. It's not about you, it's about the system you're in. I hope you enjoy this convo! susandrumm.com/episode/why-...

Ever wondered why the rich get richer and you just... don't? HINT: It's not your work ethic. It's because of a divide that's built deeply into the system: Labor vs. Capital And chances are, you're a lot more "labor" than you are "capital."

I thought I knew a lot about debt. I’ve got student loans, I’ve bought and sold houses, built companies with lines of credit, raised money, filed bankruptcy… I really thought I had a pretty solid understanding of what debt is. I was wrong. Here's what I was missing.

A fast diagnostic for any system: Where does energy go to die? Find and fix that leak, and the whole system will breathe again.

I had no idea the situation in Minneapolis was like this. Recommend you check out this story. #WeThePeople are not putting up with this. Great work here all around.

Most teams don’t have communication issues. They have CONTEXT blackouts. People talk past each other bc they’re operating from different futures Before you talk MORE, reset the frame: “What game are we playing — and how will we know if we’re winning?” Add context. Watch the noise fade.

You remember George Bailey, right? In the classic holiday film It's A Wonderful Life, from 80 YEARS AGO (seriously!), George fights a battle against Capital that could be happening TODAY. Debt wasn't always the what it is now, my friends...

What IS debt?? I thought I knew... but I was really missing everything beneath the surface. This week on Hello Tomorrow, I explore the things you were NEVER taught about debt. This episode was a bit mind-blowing for me...!

If you want a better future, upgrade one default. Just one. Start there. Defaults run your life more than decisions do.

Tiny Future Design experiment: At the end of the day, write down 1 decision you made under pressure. Then ask yourself: “Did that choice build the future I want… or the one I’d like to escape?” Do that for a week & watch your patterns change. Awareness is the first revolution.

What do we do with this info? Most important: keep the focus on INCOME. Folks in power will want to talk about "re-skilling" and "jobs of the future"... OK, but right now everyone needs INCOME. Don't allow this kind of hand-waving! Keep this conversation active and the pressure on our leaders.

If you want long-term thinking to show up… Start rewarding people for long-term behaviors. Celebrate un-sexy PRACTICES, not just “things started.” Systems teach better than speeches.

Capitalism does not guarantee you income. It doesn't even guarantee you labor to GET income. And it never has...

Most of the major tech disruptions of the last five centuries have impacted "blue collar" folks... ...but that's not going to be true with A.I. Here's who is getting disrupted this time.

There's a simple Loop that runs the modern economy... Labor -> Wages -> Income -> Consumption -> Revenue -> Labor Take one piece of this Loop out and... well, bad stuff happens. But that's exactly what A.I. is promising to do.

In uncertain times, teams crave direction — not more data. Share a simple North Star every Monday: “Remember: [THIS] is the future we’re building.” The noise subsides and people can move with confidence. Repetition isn’t annoying. It’s how clarity finally lands.
