Charge more. Under-promise. Over-deliver. Everything else in agency life is just noise.

Full house today.

The version of me that started Arexa would be shocked by what we’re building now. Not because of the scale, but because of the clarity. The first year is just elimination: of wrong clients, wrong assumptions, and wrong versions of yourself.

Friday night: reviewing a client brief, finalizing a workshop deck, and replying to student questions. Not complaining. Just want whoever else is working right now to know: you’re not alone in this.

Messy progress posted publicly will always beat polished content posted privately. Just hit publish.

We’ve run enough events now to know: the people who show up to learn always leave with more than they came for. The people who show up only to "network" usually leave disappointed. Intent determines outcome every single time.

Nobody tells you that growing fast means constantly being in rooms where you’re the least experienced person. That isn't imposter syndrome. That’s the job. Stay in those rooms anyway. P.S. - Sitting beside Scientists while sharing my XR Knowledge.

OpenAI is at $2B monthly revenue. The AI market is splitting: massive enterprise models vs lightweight consumer tools. The window to compete on "AI access" is closing. The new advantage is distribution and domain depth.

Hunger is good. Hunger without direction is just noise.

There’s a specific kind of tired that only founders understand. Not sleepy. Not burned out. Just the weight of knowing everything depends on decisions you’re making with incomplete information. Every single day.

I’ve watched students with zero background build better projects than people with years of theory. The difference is never knowledge. It’s the willingness to look stupid while figuring it out.

2026 is the year XR gets its "Android moment." 5+ Android XR devices launching. Google handling the OS. Manufacturers competing on hardware. This is exactly how smartphones scaled. We’re building for what comes next.

You don’t need a bigger team. You need to stop doing things that shouldn't be done at all!

Offline events taught me something no analytics dashboard ever could: People don’t remember what you said. They remember how the room felt. Build the atmosphere first. Content is secondary.

Inside @Arexaxr , the hardest part of any XR build is never the technology. It’s getting a client to describe the feeling they want their audience to walk away with. Once we have that, the build is easy. Getting there rarely is.

The best clients I’ve ever worked with trusted the process before they could see the outcome. The worst ones needed the outcome before they’d trust the process. You can’t build anything great with the second type.

AI pricing just collapsed. Frontier-level models in 2026 cost a fraction of what they did 18 months ago. If you’re still saying you "can’t afford" to build with AI, that excuse just expired. The barrier is no longer cost. It’s clarity.

Running an agency, teaching students, and building a community simultaneously is not a "flex." It’s a choice you make every morning. Some mornings it feels like purpose. Some mornings it just feels heavy. Today? It’s both.

A student DM’d me tonight saying our workshop changed how they think about building. That one message will carry me through the next three weeks of everything else going wrong. This is why we do it.

Meta is raising Quest 3 prices. Snap is laying off 1,000. Rec Room is shutting down in June. XR isn't dying. It’s consolidating. The winners won't be the ones with the best hardware. They’ll be the ones with the clearest use cases.
