I’m gonna be honest, a lot of you are not where you want to be in your career, and it’s bleeding into other areas of your life because you’re bullshitting. Don’t worry. I used to be a bullshitter too. I knew I was/am a force to be reckoned with. Other people knew it too. They could feel it before I even told them what I did. But I was scared to fully acknowledge it because I knew what came with it. Responsibility. Action. Visibility. Triggering people who don’t know what to do with their own feelings about your ambition, confidence, talent, or presence. So I downplayed myself. And unsurprisingly, that led to a downplayed salary, downplayed recognition, downplayed opportunities, downplayed lifestyle, downplayed relationships. Mediocre as hell. And that was simply not my station in life. I’m meant for billions. I’m meant for opulence. I’m meant for once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, beautiful experiences, aligned work, and a life that actually reflects the level I know I can operate at. So I stopped negotiating against myself. I stopped hedging bets. And I haven’t looked back. Now aligned opportunities come to me easily. Industry pioneers meet me with admiration and curiosity. I help shape technology strategy inside companies people rely on every day. I travel well. I work on things that matter. My family benefits greatly from the life I’ve built. That started when I got tired of bullshitting myself about what I wanted and what I was capable of. If you know you’ve been playing smaller than your actual capacity, I can help you get much more strategic about your career and positioning so you can move toward your actual station in life and become the kind of person your industry cannot ignore. calendly.com/thedatabloq/car…

Meta’s AI experiment is a good reminder that technology was never going to be the end-all-be-all people were promised. You can create AI super users but they cannot compensate for weak adoption, security problems, collapsing morale, or an organization that still isn’t creating more value.

Hmmm…the companies carrying this receivables concentration aren’t the downstream enterprises that ultimately have to turn all of this compute into ROI. There are still several layers between “NVIDIA sold the chips” and “enterprises created enough economic value to justify the buildout.” 🙃

A couple of weeks ago I was in the room with EU Parliament members, advising them on AI governance and digital sovereignty. I typically charge 5–6 figures for this work. I’m opening 30 minutes for you. I advise Fortune 500 executives on AI strategy. I also advise the senior ICs at the companies building the infrastructure those executives depend on. I know what the market pays. I know what makes leaders say yes. I know how to build a career that makes you recession-proof, recruiter-magnet, and fully compensated for the life you actually want. If you’re serious about your next move, you know where to find me: calendly.com/thedatabloq/car…

And that’s what I don’t think people understand. You’re there to promote vendor lockin, token burn, and schmooze leaders so you can rack up as much hours as possible lmaooo
