Unlocking Real Leverage with AI Delegation

June 2025

Starting to delegate to AI feels awkward. It is a lot like hiring your first contractor: you know there is leverage on the other side, but the first steps are messy and uncertain. The myth of the perfect plan holds many people back, but the reality is you just need to begin.

The payoff is real, but the start is always a little rough.

Here is how I do it.

May 2025

Most technical leaders know the pain. You get partway into an ambitious AI project, then hit a wall. You are not sure how to start, or you get so far and then stall out, lost in the noise of options and half-finished experiments.

Recently I tackled this head on. I did this live, in front of an audience. I used a framework that finally made the difference.

The challenge: could I take a complex change, break it down, and actually finish it, live on stream? My answer: yes, with the right approach. Here is exactly how I did it.
