If you’ve followed my posts over the past year, you know I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking and writing about AI, how it’s reshaping the way we work and how we interact with the world around us. In one of those posts, I talked about the different stages of AI maturity, starting with…
In my last article, I wrote about how technology, especially AI, is transforming the future of work and the skills that will matter most. Of all the qualities I mentioned, the one I keep coming back to—the one I’m still learning to develop—is empathy. AI can do incredible things: process information at lightning speed, generate…
From Farms to AI: What History Teaches Us About Work I’ve always been curious about how big changes in society, especially in healthcare and technology, shape the way we live and work. Last year, I sat on a panel about AI’s impact on education, and as I prepared for it, one question kept coming to…
A few articles ago, I shared how far healthcare in our country has come. We’ve made some remarkable progress, no longer living in fear of diseases like polio, smallpox, or tuberculosis thanks to vaccines and treatments that past generations could only dream about. Technology helps us catch illness earlier and treat it more effectively and…
Life is full of peaks and valleys, and it’s often the peaks that stick with us most. I had one of those recently: watching my son, Clay, get married. It felt like it all happened in a blink. I still remember the first time he wrapped his tiny hand around my finger. Then came the…
The older I get, the more I find myself drawn to our country’s history. Some of it’s just a natural part of aging, but it also comes from a deeper appreciation for everything this country has been through, and the people who gave so much to shape it. One of the things I enjoy most…
In my last post, I reflected on how far healthcare has come, from my dad’s era when everything was paper-based and reactive, to today’s world of wearables, digital records, virtual visits, and advanced medical science. It’s been an incredible journey. But as I said then, we’re not done. We’re just entering one of the most…
If you only read the headlines, you might think our healthcare system here in the U.S. is all problems … too expensive, too confusing, too broken to fix. While there’s truth in those challenges, that’s far from the whole story. What often gets overlooked is just how much it has transformed over the years, and…
A recent article in The Wall Street Journal, titled “Meet the Man Behind the Viral 4 a.m. Morning Routine—Including a Banana Facial”, caught my attention. It profiled Ashton Hall and his now-viral daily ritual featuring mouth taping, ice baths, etc. While the practices are a bit unconventional, the bigger message I took away was this:…
We often associate being healthy with not being sick. If our numbers look good—blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar—it’s easy to believe we’re on track. But good health is much more than that.
