I’ve spent years advising Fortune 500 boards, sovereign wealth funds, and Silicon Valley’s fastest-growing AI startups. Here are 7 things I’d tell every CEO about AI that most advisors won’t say out loud

And we are off @constellationr #AIForum with @mikeni, David Bray, @MMinevich and @rwang0 - it will be interesting.

What a nightmare getting out of Austin airport to San Francisco yesterday @united Over 10 1/2 hours of delays and broken planes This is all very painful and United should thrive to do better

@rwang0 @AnupamGovil @sxsw It was great to meet and lots of fun

MyPoV: now look at that. @MMinevich and @AnupamGovil -#Sxsw @sxsw

🇺🇸 Let me be blunt about Iran. Anything less than TOTAL American victory is an American defeat. What victory looks like: → President Trump walks into Tehran. Welcomed by new leadership. → The flag changes. The Islamic Republic is over. → Trade deals with the US to be signed and sealed. → The China-Iran axis? Shrunk to irrelevance. Iran has the world’s 2nd largest gas reserves and 4th largest oil reserves. American companies should be FIRST in line and not locked out while Beijing fills the vacuum. Half-measures are a gift to China. Ambiguity is a gift to Russia. Victory must real, visible, undeniable is the only option. Whatever it takes !

@GrahamAllen What is going on here

This should make EVERY New Yorker and EVERY Veteran that fought in Iraq and Afghanistan physically SICK!! I guess we forgot…..

@EndWokeness @quinnrob76 Insanity that this is happening in NYC

Imagine telling someone on 9/12 that this is how NY City Hall will look in 2026

America does not seek conflict. We never have. But history has taught the world something very clearly when freedom is threatened and when our nation is tested, the United States stands firm. Iran has once again chosen provocation over peace. That is their decision. But they should remember what generations before them have learned: the resolve of the American people is not easily shaken. Our soldiers stand ready. Our flag stands tall. And when the cause is freedom and the defense of our nation, America will always meet the moment. We do not start fights. But when they come to our doorstep, we will finish them and with strength, with unity, and with the enduring power of liberty. 🇺🇸

People often ask me, “What exactly do you do?” Or the more honest version: “What are you?” Truth is—I’ve stopped trying to fit into the answers they expect. Because I’ve never been a title. Never followed a script. And never waited for permission to think differently. I don’t operate on noise. I operate on signal. On subtle patterns, quiet shifts, the things most people overlook. While others seek clarity in structure, I find truth in ambiguity. I’ve advised presidents and CEOs. Helped nations build their AI strategies. Guided founders through their most complex decisions. But I don’t cling to any of it. That’s resume talk. Not soul work. What I really do is translate between worlds. Between systems and people. Between power and purpose. Between the future and the present moment—before most even realize what’s changing. I’m wired differently. Not to follow trends, but to feel what’s next. Not to win attention, but to earn trust when it matters most. Some call it strategy. Some call it vision. What it really is… is alignment—between what we build and what we value. I don’t need to be understood. I need to be useful. If you’re solving something complex, Trying to create something real, Or ready to question everything that’s no longer working— You’ll find me already there. Quietly connecting the dots. Moving the needle. And making sure what matters… actually happens.

7. AI won’t replace CEOs. But CEOs who understand AI will replace those who don’t. This isn’t about becoming technical. It’s about understanding what’s now possible and what’s coming next. I share what I see from inside these rooms every day here. Follow along.

6. Speed of adoption matters more than quality of adoption. The boards that debate AI for 18 months and launch a perfect pilot will lose to the ones that ship something imperfect in 90 days and iterate. I’ve seen this play out across dozens of enterprises. Perfection is the enemy of relevance.

All those peace morons keep screaming to end the war need to shut the hell up The job isn’t done. Not even close. If we actually want to break the Iranian regime’s ability to threaten the region and the world with their terrorism, the strategy is to them hard and that’s exactly what’s happening. Keep pummeling their energy lifeline. Oil depots. Storage tanks. pipelines. export infrastructure. Whatever it takes. That’s the money that fuels their missiles, their terror proxies, and decades of chaos across the Middle East. We choke the oil and suffocate the crazy regime. Then take away the geography they use to threaten everyone. The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most critical energy chokepoint. About 20% of global oil flows through it. As long as Iran controls the surrounding islands such as Abu Musa, the Tunbs, Qeshm, Hormuz they can keep playing the same game of threats and blackmail. This leverage has to disappear. This is not some BS strike. It’s a complete capitulation to strip the regime of the tools it uses to bully the region and the global economy. Wars aren’t won by some screaming pundits and they sure as hell aren’t won by stopping halfway. Keep hitting the energy supply. Lock down the chokepoints. Finish the job US Military!!! America must win. We have no choice 🇺🇸

Here we go... Iran may be activating sleeper cells outside the country, alert says The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as "an operational trigger" for "sleeper assets" outside the country, according to a federal government alert sent to law enforcement agencies. abcnews.com/US/iran-activa…
