Everyone keeps saying AI is a bubble. Turns out, 84% of the world hasn’t even used AI yet 😳

→ There are 8.1B people on Earth.
~84% (≈6.8B) have never used AI tools at all.

→ Just ~16% (≈1.3B) have tried free chatbots like ChatGPT or Claude.

→ Only 15-25M people (~0.3%) pay ~$20/month for premium AI.

→ Just 2-5M users (~0.04%) use advanced tools like coding copilots (i.e. Claude Code, Codex) or agentic workflows.

Think about that for a second.

Silicon Valley & “AI experts” are debating whether AI is overhyped, while more than 4 out of 5 humans haven’t even tried it.

That doesn’t look even remotely close to peak adoption.

It looks like the 1996 internet.

We’re still so early.

Soooooo many of you think it’s hard when …
No one’s buying
No one’s listening
No one’s attending
No one’s following, engaging, replying … all valid … that said … when you do “get there” it becomes even harder to
Stay on top
Stay relevant
Stay true to yourself …

Which is why … the key 🔑 is to always be “yourself” to “yourself” this game called life .. if all about the relationships you have .. and the most important one is … the one you have with yourself .. because you can never “sell out” or “fall off” if you don’t do those things within yourself … never compromise your values to yourself which will lead you to never doing it for others ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔑

Some of the most powerful creativity happens naturally. 🌿🎨

No expensive studio.
No perfect setup.

Just imagination, presence, and the ability to see possibility where others see an ordinary sidewalk.

That is also true in marketing.❤️

The brands that truly connect with people are not always the loudest or the most polished.

They are the ones that create genuine moments, human experiences, and ideas that feel alive.

Natural creativity cannot be forced.
It comes from observation.

From curiosity.❤️

From paying attention to people and the world around us.

Sometimes the best marketing ideas are hidden in the “cracks” everyone else overlooks.❤️

Real creativity turns ordinary spaces into meaningful experiences people remember.

I've started over at least six times.
Every restart led to somewhere better than where I was headed.

Business one failed.
Business two failed differently.
Business three made money but had no future.
Business four took a year to build and got zero customers.
Business five got to $50k/month but the business model wasn't built to last.

Each time starting over felt like going backwards. I kept wondering if I should just get a normal job and stop putting myself through this.

But here's what I couldn't see in the middle of it:
↳ Every restart came with skills the last version of me didn't have.
↳ Every failure eliminated a path that wasn't going to work anyway.
↳ Every "back to zero" moment was actually a better starting point than the one before it.

Starting over isn't failure. Staying stuck is.

If you're thinking about making a change and the only thing stopping you is the feeling that you're "too far in" or "starting from scratch"... you're not.

You're starting from experience. That's different.

Your new story might be better than the one you're afraid to let go of.

Two million years of human evolution built the hand.
Robotics companies are now trying to replicate it in a few years.

And they're getting pretty close.

Hangzhou Xynova just unveiled the Flex 2, a robotic hand designed for humanoid robots that need to actually handle real objects in the real world.

It moves in 23 different directions, just like human fingers. Weighs only 400 grams, so it doesn't slow the robot arm down. Can grip up to 12 kilograms with one hand. Has force control sensitive enough to feel slip and adjust in real time.

They also put the vision camera on the wrist instead of the palm. Sounds like a small thing. But if you think about it, a camera in the center of the palm gets blocked every time the hand grabs something. The wrist position fixes that.

Xynova just commissioned a factory to produce 10,000 of these hands per year starting Q2 2026.

We spend so much time watching humanoid robots walk and talk.
The thing that will actually make them useful in your home, in your kitchen, in your hospital, is the hand.

It might be one of the most important race in robotics right now.

This is Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code. He just sat down at the Sequoia AI session, and in 15 minutes, explained how exactly he uses Claude Code himself & revealed his entire coding setup.

"100% of my code is written by Claude Code. I run around 100 agents at one time" - Boris Cherny

→ 100% of the code written by AI.
→ 100 agents running simultaneously 🤖

Coupled with the guide, it turns Claude Code into your best engineer: https://lnkd.in/d-MVusTs

Grinding feels productive.
It looks like discipline.
But it has a ceiling.

A few years ago, I was backstage before a keynote.
Over-rehearsed. Second-guessing every transition.
Running the opening line in my head for the 40th time.

The speaker before me walked out like she'd been waiting all week for that moment.

No visible nerves. No performance.
Just someone completely at home in what she was doing.

The audience felt it in 30 seconds.
So did I.

She wasn't better prepared than I was.
But she was more alive!

And that made all the difference.

Preparation gets you ready.
But presence gets you heard.

Tiago Forte said it simply: "You can't compete with someone who is having fun."

Grinding can get you on the stage.
But it won't make the room lean in.

What actually moves people is someone who genuinely wants to be there. Not performing presence.

Actually present.

If you've been grinding lately, you're missing something.
You're running on the wrong fuel.

The question worth sitting with this Saturday:
What would this look like if it were fun?

Repost to remind others: discipline without joy has a ceiling.

I write about living fully, not just performing well. If that question stayed with you, follow me for more.

Your LinkedIn content might get likes and follows.
But when someone needs to hire, are they going to think of you?

Because in that situation, they pick the person they trust AND believe.

Here's the problem...
Writing personal stories builds trust.
Showing proof makes people believe you.

And you need both.

Here's the system I use:

1/ Fix your profile

I've looked at 500+ profiles of people who can't figure out why they're not getting leads.

Almost every time, when I scan their profile, I don’t know who they’re selling to or why I should believe them vs. someone else.

Make it clear.

2/ Post one case study every week

Every week, share 1 example with a clear before/after transformation. The reader should be able to think, “That sounds like me/my company. I want that result.”

3/ Use trust-building content

People trust you faster when they can see who you are. Show behind-the-scenes moments, share snippets of your life and make it relevant for them.

4/ Get LinkedIn video right

The first video I ever did got ~10K views. I almost stopped. But when I spoke to people IRL they remembered me from the videos.

5/ Use content & DMs together

Content talking about pain points to attract the right people. DMs for sales.

6/ Find an accountability partner

Because you will get rejected a lot when you send DMs.

And so it’s good to have someone to talk to about it. Miro and I checked in all the time when we were both starting out.

More followers ≠ more revenue.
