You'll Call It Fate

For twenty years I picked the hardest thing in the room and made sure people could see me do it. I called it ambition. It was an eight year old who didn't feel like he mattered, running every decision I made, and I never once heard it.

There's a line usually put on Jung. Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will determine your life, and you'll call it fate.

This one is about the thing driving you that you can't see. Where it comes from, why self-awareness doesn't catch it, and what it quietly does to a business once it's built one.

Then the part that made me want to record it. Every amplifier a business owner has ever held reflects his inner world back at him. Headcount used to. Now AI does, faster, with no sanity check left in the loop. If your thinking is unclear, AI won't fix it. It multiplies it.

Inside: the three ways something ends up in your blind spot, how a financial planner worked out he was creating chaos just so he could solve it, and the one thing I'd train before handing your thinking to a machine.
