Newsletter + Community

Navigate AI.
Stay human.

The AI revolution is here. Groundswell helps ambitious professionals and organizations ride the wave without drowning in it — blending deep AI expertise with grounded, intentional living.

Free weekly newsletter. No spam, ever.

You're in. Welcome to the Groundswell.

You can be deep in AI and deeply grounded

Most AI voices are selling urgency. Move fast. Automate everything. Optimize your life.

Groundswell is the counterweight. We believe you can harness the most powerful technology in human history while staying connected to the things that actually make life worth living — your health, your relationships, your sense of place.

Not anti-tech. Pro-human.

The Noise

"AI will replace you if you don't grind 24/7. Sleep when you're dead. Optimize every minute."

vs.

The Groundswell

"Master the tools. Set them down. Go outside. The best work comes from people who are actually alive."

What we explore

Five threads woven together. Because thriving in the AI era isn't just a technology problem.

AI Navigation

Cut through the hype. Practical strategies for using AI to amplify your work, your business, and your creative output — without becoming dependent on it. Real use cases, honest assessments, no breathless predictions.

Family & Relationships

How to be present in an age of infinite distraction. Protecting the connections that matter most when screens are everywhere.

Health & Wellness

Your body is the hardware. Movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress management for people who spend their days thinking about the future.

Intentional Living

Designing a life on purpose. Work-life architecture, digital boundaries, and building systems that serve you instead of the other way around.

Grounding Practices

Earthing, breathwork, nature immersion, and the daily rituals that keep you centered when the pace of change is exponential.

Kauai, Hawaii 🌴🌊

Built from the garden, not the garage

I live on Kauai with my family. I spend my mornings in the ocean and my afternoons deep in AI systems. I've built companies, shipped products, and spent a decade at the frontier of technology.

And I've learned something that Silicon Valley won't tell you: the people who do the best work are the ones who have a life outside of it.

"You can ride the AI wave without drowning in it. I'm living proof."

Groundswell is what I wish existed when I started this journey — a place for ambitious people who refuse to choose between professional excellence and personal wellbeing. The newsletter, the coaching, the community — it all comes from the same conviction: technology should serve your life, not consume it.
