Let’s be brutally honest. The professional conversation about AI is an insult.

We are presented with a glorious choice by the chorus of tech prophets and LinkedIn gurus: either become a glorified button-pusher, learning to prompt a machine faster than the next person, or graciously accept your new role as a digital fossil. They tell you to race to the bottom, to sacrifice the nuance and expertise you’ve spent a career building at the altar of crude efficiency. Your professional soul is now an input field.

This narrative is not just a failure of imagination; it’s a failure of respect. It assumes your mind is a thing to be replaced, not augmented. It assumes the only path forward is to become a better servant to the machine.

I reject this premise entirely. There is a third path.

This is why I am documenting my work in “The Augmented Mind: Think with AI”. It’s a newsletter for creatives, strategists, and founders who refuse to outsource their thinking. This is not a collection of cheap tips and tricks. It is a live, public experiment.

Each week, I share the research, the strategic wrestling, and the unfiltered process: the frameworks that work, the assumptions that spectacularly collapse, and the difficult lessons learned in forging a true cognitive collaboration. The goal is to provide a real-world map to help you build your own sovereign practice, where technology serves your intellect, not the other way around.

If you believe your experience is worth more than a prompt and you’re looking for a more thoughtful, human-first approach to technology, join the experiment.
