Luke Hobson, EdD was a catalyst for me in my decision to grab yet another grad certificate and leave higher ed. Luke has all of my respect.

For those still fighting the good fight in the higher ed landscape, how are you?

Well, you made my day sir. Thank you for the smile! Hope I gave you one as well. :)

I hired on someone to build my stunning website. I also hired a business coach. Finally I am so grateful to have people willing to provide feedback for me in my vision and aspirations. :)

I saw a thread today about the book Eragon (Paolini)... and it got me thinking about the dangerous combination of self-assessment without all the facts. No one is successful alone.

Who is helping you behind the scenes right now? Who is waiting in the wings for you?

I'll start.

@jemaineclement.bsky.social either you hated all my ideas (fair enough *sniffle*) or you have been writing (great job, sir). Which one??? (please say the latter, or this fan will cry more than jelly bean tears) 🥲

It DOES feel like jobs are being taken. But, I believe humanity will shine less from technical skills and more through their creativity, imagination, and emotional intelligence.

Meet Lovart, the AI co-pilot looking to replace human designers And its $90 price tag could be alluring to some.

AI is replacing "middle" design work.
The future is important. But so is honoring what came before.

I’m reading Mary Oliver today and letting the past remind me why we create and why we FEEL. Thoughts?

Anyone have tips and tricks of the trade they want to share? :)

How would Nietzsche redesign Instagram if he were Zuckerberg? Why Silicon Valley has a weird Nietzsche obsession

If Nietzsche redesigned Instagram, it wouldn’t be about being liked.
It would be about unadulterated expression.

Meta is banning unoriginal content.
UX Tigers says: “Agency is creative.”

Let's all be done...reposting without context, copying what trends, and giving up on original thought.

In my business, every course, every post, every insight is built by intuition. Not a template.

A.I. Is About to Solve Loneliness. That’s a Problem The discomfort of loneliness shapes us in ways we don’t recognize—and we may not like what we become without it.

Loneliness isn’t just an affliction to be cured but an experience that can shape us for the better, Paul Bloom writes. If A.I. companions eliminate the feeling, we might lose something essential about being human.

Yes.

Every great sky / sunset / sunrise pic I have ever gotten, has been taken from a parking lot.

Q: Where do you feel your friction point lives in your work right now?

Mine’s been hiding in a color coded Google Sheet for months and I finally caught it.

Today, I realized I need more than a schedule, I need partnerships. I need collaborations, conversations, and brainstorms.

How about you?
