Hi, I'm

Building AI businesses while traveling the world ✈︎

📖 The Manifesto (or how I am accidentally designing my dream life)
THE QUESTIONS
→ Why do we accept that careers are things that happen to us?
→ Why is "I can't wait for Friday" a completely normal thing to say?
→ Why do we wait for permission to build something different?
→ Why is the default: work for someone else's vision, in someone else's office, on someone else's schedule forever?
I sat in one too many meetings that could have been emails, watching my life tick away in 30-minute increments, and something broke open.
What if the goal was never a promotion at 40 or retirement at 65?
What if instead of climbing someone else's ladder, I just built my own?
THE EXPERIMENT
I'm building AI businesses from cafés, co-working spaces, and airports across the world, and documenting the whole thing in real time.
No guarantee it works. Just the actual unglamorous process of trying to build something real while living somewhere beautiful.
This is what I'm testing:
→ That AI is the greatest leverage tool a solo builder has ever had.
→ That location is a choice, not a constraint.
→ That you don't need a team, an office, or a investor to start.
→ That the most interesting businesses get built by people living interesting lives.
It's not about escaping. It's about building something that doesn't need escaping.
WHAT I BELIEVE
→ AI is the biggest opportunity for solo builders in a generation.
→ Freedom isn't retirement. It's a Tuesday at 10am with equity in something you own.
→ The unglamorous parts of building are worth documenting.
→ Geography is a choice. So is who you work for.
→ The life you imagine is buildable. So is the business inside it.
WHAT THIS IS
This is the documentation of the experiment.
→ The businesses I'm building.
→ The AI tools actually worth using.
→ The mistakes I'm making in real time.
→ The places I'm doing it from.
I don't have all the answers.
But I'm building in public so you don't have to figure it out alone.
Follow along if you want to see what happens when someone actually does.
