In fact, even Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO, has said that investors are “overexcited” by AI. In my own investing in single stocks, I have had to consider carefully whether my investments…
Stoicism, Suffering, and the Power of Choice

How AI Reshapes the Economy: Winners, and Losers
This article presents my thoughts on AI and the transformation it will bring, as well as its specific impact on business. During the Industrial Revolution, we underwent a fundamental change that proved machines could out-perform humans in highly mechanised tasks. Although productivity soared, humans had to adapt, and there were casualties along the way; hand-spinning…

A manager’s true role is to unlock and amplify their team’s potential, but all too often, it drifts into aimless firefighting. A book that has recently changed my perspective on things and that struck a chord with me is Ken Blanchard’s The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey.
