My People, I Owe You an Explanation. Here Is Why I Do All of This.
Published: March 1, 2026 - 6 min read
My people, I have done you a great disservice.
I have been posting on LinkedIn actively for over two months now across a range of topics. Posts about AI and AI agents. Posts about my public speaking journey. Posts about my French language learning journey. Posts about tokens and AI experiments like the 777-1 experiment.
I told you I have 16 AI agents on my team with names and personalities, but never explained what that actually means. I mentioned Allen Kendrick, arguably the most important agent on my team, but never showed you how he was created. I talked about Oprah Winfrey coaching my English eloquence but never explained why that matters. I introduced LLM Instance Cloning but never connected it back to you, to why you should care. I launched the 777-1 experiment but never came back to share the lessons I learned from it.
My LinkedIn posting history is beautifully chaotic. But through all of it, I have never quite taken the time to explain how it all ties together.
I want to change that.
The Moment It Clicked
Everything I do these days is driven by one realization: I have worked extensively with AI for over two years, and I have seen how powerful it is and how quickly it keeps evolving.
But the moment all of this crystallized into a strategy wasn't during a technical breakthrough. It was at the end of my SDR Era.
I had just written a reflection about how writing had become my primary way of teaching. And in that same reflection, I described a voice that was pulling me toward public speaking. A voice I couldn't explain but couldn't ignore. The same voice that had told me to stop applying for jobs and start building.
I listened to that voice. And what came into focus was this: AI is evolving fast. The people who will thrive are not just the ones who master AI, but the ones who also master the skills AI cannot replace.
Writing. Public speaking. The ability to explain something so clearly that a room full of non-technical people walks out understanding it. These are the skills that will always belong to humans.
So I made a decision. I would work actively to bulletproof myself in two ways:
One, by mastering AI. Two, by mastering effective communication, whether through writing or public speaking. And then I added an extra layer on top: doing it in two languages.
That is why you see me practicing public speaking on LinkedIn. That is why I built AI agents to coach my writing in both English and French. That is why I show you the process, not just the result.
One Tool. Not Ten.
Now, back to the AI side of things. I want to be honest about something: I haven't used every AI tool on the market. And that is intentional.
I believe in mastery. So I have worked deeply with Claude and its full ecosystem: Claude on the web, Claude Code, Claude in Excel, Claude in Chrome, and more. I do this because the skills learned from mastering one tool deeply are transferable across multiple domains.
I have seen countless people bragging about a stack of 10 AI tools they use, and honestly? That is exactly why AI feels intimidating to so many people.
My goal is to show you that you most likely don't need 10 tools. I want to keep AI as lean as possible. Not overwhelm you. My goal is to show you that you can have one tool, and with that alone, you will feel powerful.
Two Spectrums. One Mission.
My audience here on LinkedIn sits between two spectrums.
On one end, there are people who know more about AI than I do. They have worked with tools I have never touched, built things I am yet to build. I hope when those people see my content, they provide insights into how they would handle similar problems with other tools, or call out gaps in my thinking so I can learn even more. I am not here to pretend I have all the answers.
But the second spectrum of my audience? Those are the people who hear "AI agents" and have no idea what that means. People who feel overwhelmed when they walk into technical rooms and everyone is talking about models and tokens and automation. You're nodding along, but you don't understand what's going on. You're curious, but you feel locked out of this world.
My main focus is on you.
More than anything, I want people on this end to feel welcome. Because my role in all of this is not that of an expert performing expertise.
My role is that of a teacher.
Why Toastmasters. Why Now.
If you've been following me, you've probably seen posts of me on LinkedIn giving impromptu Toastmasters speeches. The reason they've only been impromptu speeches is that I've been attending as a guest. But my application process to become a Toastmasters member has begun.
There was a question on the form where I was asked, "Why is this important to you?"
I wrote: I want to be a great teacher.
You see, Toastmasters isn't separate from everything else I'm building. It connects to all of it.
It's preparation for the workshops I want to teach, where I'll stand in front of rooms full of non-technical professionals and make AI feel approachable. It's training to become a clearer communicator, so that when I explain how AI agents work, people actually understand. And it's mastery of one of those AI-proof skills, the kind of skill that will matter more, not less, as AI keeps evolving.
Three reasons. One commitment. All connected.
What's Coming
Over the next few weeks, as my time, health, and schedule permit, I will share stories of how I have worked with these AI tools. These won't be as intensive as my workshop sessions, but they will be clear enough that you leave with new knowledge.
The goal is to show you what's possible. To demystify the random AI posts I've published here over the past two months. To help you ask the right questions. To make this world not feel as scary or intimidating anymore.
We'll start all the way from the beginning.
My Standard. Not Perfection. Clarity.
I am sharing all of this with you because I want you to hold me to something.
If at any point I say something and it does not make sense to you, do not start thinking, "Oh my gosh, I am so dumb. I do not understand."
No.
If it does not make sense to you, it means I have failed. It means I did not communicate it clearly enough. That is my responsibility. Not yours.
Please ask questions so I can clarify. I will tell you what you need to know, what you don't need to know, and I will make sure you understand the difference.
That is the standard I am holding myself to. Not perfection. Clarity.
I Owe You This
So that is what is coming. You will see more of my face with explanations. More stories. More step-by-step breakdowns that meet you where you are.
As always, thanks for reading!
