I made book episodes. I'll still do them sometimes for fun — not as my profession. Building and experimenting at the intersection of AI, agents, code, MCPs, product, design, taste, and onboarding. One thing about me: twenty years of plant medicine and shamanic work across the globe. I’ve experienced Christ consciousness — what Buddha called enlightenment — but I’m more Chinggis Khan than a monk. I climbed Chinggis Khan's mountain alone in Mongolia, and I hold the same rule he did: respect is given once, and it isn't returned twice. Prayer keeps me connected to God and my life good.⚡️
