I ended up in a private convo before I found the front door. I jumped on a call and didn't realize it was a livestream. Asked Brandon where he posted his high-value link and he said "on Skool." That's when I came here and realized the community I double-clicked on back in March (and forgotten about) was actually the starting point. I blame Kasim for being so compelling. Sometimes people just skip the funnel. Some of you already saw me climb over the debris that Jason Croft left when he nimbly breached the wall. @Jason Szakel freestyled a rap to introduce me, and @Clinton Martin kept the whole bit alive with commentary that had me crying. The whole group = brilliant AI practitioners…and also just genuinely fun. For everyone else: hi. I just discovered the front door. The "FORWARDS" journey - Started in Google Ads in 2009, leading US expansion for a Swiss agency - Stroller-packed from Switzerland across Europe with my toddler, working from internet cafes 1-2 weeks at a time - Launched my own agency in 2014 - Applied a knapsack-style algorithm to my client list in 2019 and scaled down when I married the Kodiak guy, Luke Randall - Sometimes we're wrangling 225-pound halibuts in the Gulf of Alaska. Sometimes we're in the lower 48. Right now he's in Uyaqsaq on Starlink and I'm on my laptop in the studio. Luke's business runs entirely on reputation: remote lodge projects, outdoor trips that sell out on word of mouth, commercial seafood deals. Now that we've discovered how freeing an empty nest is, I'm finally helping him take it online. New D2C seafood logistics just made the timing real. The SIDEquest I compose narrative-arc musical productions. My first staged show, Immanuel (12 original pieces), is headed for live performance in December 2026… Why I'm HERE I'm studying the cultural and anthropological effects of AI, collecting human-AI interactions from a wide range of environments. Cross-domain problems are converging, and I'm trying to finish a book before the market catches up.

I have two questions for you (possibly related): Q 1: When was the last time you go to speak directly with someone who created a multi-billion-dollar industry? Q 2: What are you doing May 5th at 6pm ET (3pm PT)? Tim Bratton... - Pioneered the world’s first digital streaming service - Defined the modern subscription economy - Helped architect a multi-quadrillion-dollar payment rails system His career has been defined by one thing: Scaling complex systems from inception to global dominance. He has taken a company public, executed a reverse IPO, and built three separate nine-figure businesses. And now he is showing up LIVE to talk to us (you and me) No script. No filter. No sanitized “keynote speaker” nonsense. Just a live conversation with a guy who has repeatedly seen the future early, built the infrastructure behind it, and scaled it before the rest of the world caught up. Join us live May 5th at 6 PM ET. Here's the zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83272395942?pwd=2tLNyUmwSTjHNKAUH2onMLMddKXrDo.1 See you there.
