Founder bottlenecks kill ecommerce growth. When every decision lands on you, your brand stalls. The skills that got you to 7-figures won't get you to 8. Build systems, delegate outcomes, focus on strategy. Time to evolve from founder to leader.

I just hopped on the Cybersecurity Cares telethon again this year and what an incredible way for our community to come together and give back! 

This grassroots initiative unites cybersecurity professionals and teams to raise awareness and funds for nonprofit organizations that uplift and support the people behind the screens. In 2025, contributions are being split across groups focused on diversity, mental wellness, inclusive connection, and career pathways in our industry including The Diana Initiative, Mental Health Hackers, Sober in Cyber, BlackGirlsHack / BGH Foundation, and the Women + Cybersecurity = Women's Society of Cyberjutsu. 

I’ll share the link to the Cybersecurity Cares campaign in the comments so you can check it out, learn more, and join the movement. Let’s keep defending systems and supporting people!  

Thanks for the invitation Christopher Luft!

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: AGI Strategy from BlueDot Impact!

My 2025 ChatGPT wrap surprised me.

📊 1,833 chats
💬 12.7K messages

At first glance, it definitely looks like, “Wow… that’s a lot of AI.”

Most of those conversations weren’t about facts or writing. They were about pressure-testing ideas, translating between different worlds, and making sense of where humans fit as systems get more powerful.

And honestly?
ChatGPT is just one of about five AI tools I use almost every day.

This stuff has quietly become part of how I think.

What did you get in your ChatGPT wrapped for 2025?
