Enjoy the holiday season!
Today (Monday night as I write this) is Christmas Day, and next week around this time is New Year's Day, so I'm taking the time off from love bombs. After that it'll be the end of the holiday season, and into the teeth of the long, cold winter. God willing we'll all see it through to the other side together :)
It's been another weird year for me, full of stops and starts and big personal/career changes and more than a little stress. The kinds of things most people go through every five years or so, I seem to go through a couple a year. But I suppose I wouldn't trade it, because it's made me who I am today, and I like who I am today. So we keep soldiering on, yeah? If you're in a tough situation in life, please know that you're not alone. There are people who love you, and your life has incredible value <3
If you feel like responding with an end-of-year message of your own, I'll be happy to read the updates in lieu of Christmas cards or cookies left on my doorstep, haha - if not, I hope you enjoy your holidays, and we'll talk again soon!

PS: I think this is only the second time in 100 years that we haven't had any snow in Milwaukee during December - it's felt so strange to have the whole holiday season feel like fall instead of winter. I did take a foggy picture from my balcony on Christmas Eve, and on my Christmas Day walk this morning, I saw that someone had decorated their baby fir tree for a Charlie Brown Christmas. It made me smile.

Over the next few months I may be posting more public content, though not on topics I've traditionally covered. Instead of a personal blog about self-reflection, philanthropy, and acknowledging all that makes us human and applying that to helping others, my content will be more about . . . building AI tech and building a business. [crowd boos and hisses] And I'll mostly be doing it on LinkedIn. [Nate dodges a shoe] I mean, even a lot of that content will have sprinklings of philosophy, wit,...
Well friends, the reason I've been so quiet is because I've been working nonstop for 4 months, and today's the day: I'm throwing YouBots.ai out into the world. In November I put together a tiny team to solve a big problem: could we build an AI platform that a small business could easily afford - one that would instantly give them value across all areas of their organization, without anyone on their team needing to know a thing about AI, prompt engineering, or software development? Could we...
I fell asleep last night imagining all of humanity riding on undulating cycles of time . . . never-ending fractals of uniquely expressed lives exploding in diversity, yet all contained within familiar boundaries of rhythm and season. The rise and fall of empire (my favorite art piece, by the way) just a magnified echo of the rise and fall of a single soul. Everything we are, everything we do, never before experienced in this way by these people in human history . . . and yet a nearly carbon...
