“In a blustery New York Times essay, John O’Farrell — former general partner at the mammoth investment firm Andreessen Horowitz — chastised his former colleagues in the tech industry for putting AI hype before the common good. As the first outside general partner ever hired by Andreessen Horowitz in 2010, O’Farrell’s departure is significant, and his warning for his former colleagues is telling.”

Dream. Think big, and think pragmatically. Think fast, and think slow. Think...differently. Learn from the past. Learn from the present. Unlearn what doesn't carry you forward. Anticipate. Experiment. Learn forward. Learn upward. Believe.

Most work conversations are now being recorded by default. You should probably assume that everything you say at work is getting recorded from here on out. What’s emerging is a new category of enterprise software, organized around voice instead of text. The system of record today is structured data: CRM entries, tickets, docs. But the highest-value context lives in conversation: the nuance on a customer call, the real argument in a product review, the offhand comment in a leadership meeting that quietly changes the roadmap. LLMs are uniquely good at taking that unstructured voice data and making it structured, searchable, and queryable. That’s a large enterprise opportunity, and we’re still early in understanding what the software layer looks like and who owns it. a16z GP David Haber on what AI recording means for the future of work: a16z.news/p/everything-is-re…

BCG research found that only 5% of companies are achieving AI value at scale, while 60% are not achieving material value at all despite substantial investment. AI spend is not AI transformation. Transformation starts with better questions... Does AI change the cost structure? Does it expand the market? Does it create proprietary learning loops? Does the product improve with use? Does it reduce time-to-value? Does it turn scarce expertise into scalable capacity? Can it operate inside real-world constraints of trust, security, governance, and compliance? forbes.com/sites/briansolis/…

What a pleasant surprise! I stumbled upon two video shorts on Youtube and Instagram that summarized my book Lifescale, one for personal transformation and the other for leadership/workforce transformation. Here's the YouTube video if you're curious! youtube.com/watch?v=xc2rg_Wo… And here's the link to Lifescale: a.co/d/0cj0Y5b0 Most of us are more connected than ever. And somehow, more disconnected from ourselves than we realize. That was the inspiration behind Lifescale. I wrote it for anyone who has ever ended a day exhausted, busy, responsive, productive on paper…and still felt like they hadn’t moved closer to who they wanted to become. Somewhere along the way, our devices became more than tools. They became the rhythm of our attention. Notifications trained our behavior. Feeds shaped our curiosity and stole precious time and attention. Algorithms learned how to keep us engaged, but not necessarily fulfilled. Lifescale is about about reclaiming time, focus, and intention. It’s about learning how to stop reacting to everything and start creating with purpose again. It’s a framework for rebuilding focus, rediscovering creativity, and reconnecting with the story you actually want to live. Your life is not something to optimize around distractions. It is something to author. Remember, the goal isn’t to be more online. The goal is to be more alive. And that’s what Lifescale is really about. It's a reminder that in a world competing for your attention, your greatest act of creativity may be choosing where your life goes next. ✨

59% of organizations are using agentic AI. But AI agents don't just need human managers. They need organizations that have prepared their people to manage them. servicenow.com/workflow/ethi…
