The turning point

Not long ago, I led a team of AI engineers at a consulting firm. The salary was great, and so were my teammates. But the org culture? Stretched thin, misaligned, and quietly burning people out. Most of the team left. I had seen enough.

And yet—I'd also seen what could work. When I was leading that team, we built something precious: high trust, shared clarity, and space to create solutions amidst chaos. New hires were up to speed and making impact within a week. It didn't take heroics—just honest listening and aligned design.

Since stepping away, I’ve become even more curious. Curious about the quiet wisdom carried by people navigating broken systems. Curious about what changes when we stop performing and start asking better questions—out loud, and in our bones.

I want to share two of my favorite questions that guide my vision.

My vision

What do I actually find pleasure doing in the world?

What if growth and alignment could be designed like intelligent systems?
