A realization I’ve been sitting with for a while and it’s time to share it.I’ve spent many years helping companies with fintech strategy, advisory, and content. And for a while, that work felt irreplaceable.Then AI showed up and changed everything.Strategy decks? AI can draft them. Market research? Done in minutes. Presentations? Polished and delivered before your morning coffee gets cold.I’m not complaining , I’m adapting.I’ve shifted my energy toward venture building. But not just any ventures. I’m focused on building businesses that live in the real world. The kind that need face-to-face meetings, physical operations, human trust, and offline execution.Because here’s what I believe:AI will keep eating digital-first, knowledge-based work. But the closer you are to the physical world, the harder you are to replace.AI helps me move 10x faster in building these ventures. But it can’t replace what happens on the ground.And if I’m being completely transparent about where I think this goes , I wouldn’t be surprised if, a few years from now, I’m someone who works almost entirely on offline, physical-world projects, because AI has replaced me in the digital world. And that actually excites me.Sometimes the best response to disruption isn’t to compete with it. It’s to go where it can’t follow.A realization I’ve been sitting with for a while and it’s time to share it.I’ve spent many years helping companies with fintech strategy, advisory, and content.
