"The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are." – J.P. Morgan

Innovation isn’t just about technology, it's a mindset. It’s about reimagining what’s possible for people. In this episode of 3x3 Insights, I share how leaders can navigate disruption, embrace AI, and build resilient organizations designed for what’s next. 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUur...

Make time for creativity. Make space for curiosity, exploration, and ideation. 💭 It's how to rewire your brain to augment and innovate, not automate, with AI. 💡 Excerpt from the Agentic Singularity Summit, organized by Hard Skill Exchange. Full presentation: hardskill.exchange/summit/agent...

In 2026, the next competitive advantage won’t come from adding more AI. It will come from architecting work. The companies that win with AI will build a better way of working... 👉 briansolis.substack.com/p/2026s-real...

In 2025, Jensen Huang famously predicted that IT becomes “HR for AI agents.” Also in 2025, Moderna put agentic AI under the CHRO. Different org charts… same reality. In 2026, “work planning” shifts from org chart to work chart. This triggers a new CIO–CHRO mandate. 👀 youtube.com/shorts/KqHSb...

“We’re not building a phone.” – Steve Jobs This was Steve's masterclass in reframing. In an AI-first world with no playbook, the competitive edge is a beginner’s mind, and the willingness to ask different questions. Please read and subscribe! 👉 briansolis.substack.com/p/were-not-b...

No playbook. No proven answers. That’s why leadership now is simple: think differently, ask different questions. This is the story of Steve Jobs' "iPhone moment," the moment he gave his team the gift of a Mindshift. “We’re not building a phone!” 👉 briansolis.com/2025/12/were... #mindset

AI adoption is evolving faster than leadership. Don't ask where can you add AI. Ask what should you rebuild because AI exists. Optimizing yesterday’s processes is just a faster way to arrive at the same limits. 👉 open.substack.com/pub/briansol...

ChatGPT Atlas, Comet, and Edge’s new AI browsers signal a new web: built for agents, not just humans. We’re moving from pages to progress, from SEO to AEO, from clicks to outcomes. Time to build for the agentic age. open.substack.com/pub/briansol...

"Stop hiring humans." That's the headline in one viral ad campaign. This billboard in Times Square however, is just one of many ads popping up with the same message. No customer wakes up hoping to "engage" your AI agent. You can't automate your way to innovation. Source: superproducer (IG)
