Travel has been a part of my work for 25 years. For the past nine years, I have treated every business trip like a stay at a sanitorium - a health retreat.

While life at home can be beautifully chaotic—kids, meals, schedules, the constant juggle—travel offers something rare: control. It’s a pocket of time where I can reset, simplify, and sharpen my focus.

It’s a new age. Ai has become a game-changer in how professionals (like me) approach providing value, networking, brand development, and task management. Discussions surrounding Ai continue to evolve, and so do the opinions about its appropriate use. I wanted to explore key themes and insights from a recent debate on Ai’s role in these domains, along with personal reflections on how Ai has transformed my workflow—not by replacing effort but by enhancing progress and creativity.
Still, there are fears, and many of them are not unfounded. It reminds me of what the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact:

“We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.”

Resistance is alive and well.
