Leaning back in my chair and pensively staring into the digital whiteness of the Google Doc (about to type this article), I’m thinking how many times I actually pronounced (in my head or out loud), “ If only someone had told me this before ,” as a founding CEO. The answer “countless” would be a sheer exaggeration, yet there was quite a number. Two decades ago, when my friend and I struggled to acquire a ticket to the Dave Matthews Band concert, the idea smacked me in the brain.

I'll admit: When I first started using AI at work, I was just going through the motions. Sure, ChatGPT could punch up my writing and make me sound wittier than I truly am, but what was that doing for me, really? Then my editor said something that flipped my approach to using AI: "The goal isn't to just use AI—it's to use AI to speed things up or make things better." So I put it to the test.

A few years ago, I stumbled upon the work of Peter Drucker, and it changed the way I thought about business. As a publicist and brand strategist, I had always viewed management through a lens of campaigns, messaging and market strategies. But Drucker’s teachings weren’t just about business; they were about people, purpose, and humanity. What I didn’t realize at the time was how transformative his ideas would be, not just for large corporations, but for entrepreneurs, sole proprietors, and family

Having been in Techstars (top tier VC) , exited a SAAS i have a little bit of experince in building a business. Starting a business is extremely difficult and so there are plenty of reasons to think why buying one off the shelf may in fact be easier than starting one yourself. The business has not only been validated (which means you dont have to spend 1 year of your life trying to make it work and investing your own energy in it) but it will save you tons of time and emotional distress.

Many entrepreneurs go down the path of buying a business to help jump-start their business-building efforts. But oftentimes, they don't give enough thought to "why" they are buying the business, and the long-term goals they are hoping to accomplish from this investment. Unless they are 100% clear on the "end game", they could get themselves into a situation that is not what they intended, and it could be too late to fix it once they close on the purchase.

Decades ago, building the Facebooks and Twitters was reserved for a small elite. Those who speak in functions, methods, who know what lint and boilerplate are. People into obscure memes, who love to watch sorting algorithms compete against each other on TikTok. No-code was the first opening of that group to mere mortals like us. But now the gate is wide open: vibe coding tools, as coined by Andrej Karpathy , are here to make you forget the code even exists.
