What Amazon Taught Me at 16 About AI
My mom built a million-dollar business from scratch. And I watched Amazon erase it in two years.
She's one of the strongest, most capable people I know. She built something remarkable from the ground up, and I grew up inside that business, watching what it takes to make something real. Then the ground shifted under it, fast, through no failure of hers. The market moved, and it didn't ask permission.
I was sixteen, and I made myself a quiet promise: I'd always be paying attention. I'd never let myself get blindsided by something I could have seen coming.
That promise is driving everything I'm doing right now. It's why I'm learning AI in public instead of waiting to see how it shakes out. None of us knows exactly what's coming for the creative industry. But paying attention is a choice, and it's available to all of us.
If you're watching your industry shift and you aren't sure what to do, I'm right there with you. I'm figuring it out in public, and I'd love for you to be part of that.
