For more than two decades I have worked on innovation, transformation, and the question that sits underneath all of it: what does it mean to be human when everything around us is changing faster than ever? Today the engine of that change is artificial intelligence. So I have started a new place to think out loud about it — a Substack called I Am in the Age of Machines.
What it’s about
I spend my working days on the frontline of AI — building with it, advising leaders on it, watching it reshape how companies create value. At the same time, I am pursuing theological studies. Those two worlds are not as far apart as they might seem. In fact, I have come to believe they belong in the same conversation.
I Am in the Age of Machines is where I explore the intersection of science, theology, and technology. It asks the questions the headlines tend to skip:
- What does intelligence really mean — and what, if anything, remains uniquely human?
- Where does ancient wisdom still hold up against the most advanced machines we have ever built?
- How do we innovate boldly without losing our soul in the process?
- What kind of future are we actually building, and who do we want to be inside it?
The name is deliberate. “I am” is a statement of being — of identity, consciousness, presence. Setting it next to “the age of machines” captures exactly the tension I want to sit with: holding on to what makes us human while living and working among increasingly capable machines.
If you have followed my books and my work with Innovation360, you’ll recognise the spirit — evidence, curiosity, and a refusal to accept easy answers. But this is more personal. It’s me thinking through the biggest shift of our lifetime, in public, one post at a time.

I would love to have you in the conversation. The age of machines is here. The interesting question is what we do — and who we become — within it.
