Flying Cars & Weekend Trips to Mars
There was a bit of a longer pause between this post and my last than in previous ones – I’m still figuring out my pace. That and, well, taxes!
Originally, I was planning to write about my experience in the "crypto" space to support the launch of my BROS service. But I’ve found myself stuck on a bigger idea—one that’s been growing louder in my mind, especially after connecting with someone local who seems to share many of my thoughts about the systems shaping our society.
The way we transact with credit cards or Apple Pay, exchange value through work, buy homes, educate kids—or really, how we function as a society—feels fundamentally outdated and often rigged when you look at the bigger picture. Maybe it worked in a pre-internet world, but today? When technology is evolving at breakneck speed and inequality is growing just as fast? It’s time for a change.
Let me give you a glimpse into my mind for a second.
I was born in 1992. Back then, the internet existed, but it wasn’t part of everyday life where I grew up. Around '99, we got AOL, instant messaging, and dial-up access to the world—plus, let’s be honest, a few forbidden corners of it too.
My first phone was a Motorola flip, good for T9 texting, calling, and Snake. As kids, we entertained ourselves without smartphones, YouTube, or TikTok. We had to be present at dinner. We had to talk to our parents or just... be. Streaming didn’t exist yet. You watched what was on, or you didn’t.
I came of age in the in-between—raised with the values and simplicity of our parents' generation, but old enough to ride the wave into the tech-driven world we live in today. And while I love technology, I also miss the simplicity of that earlier time. There were fewer distractions. Fewer choices. More room for big ideas, stillness, and connection.
I want that for my kids. I want them to climb trees and build forts and be bored sometimes. Because boredom breeds creativity. I want them to know what it feels like to hear the wind and the buzz of a small prop plane on a quiet Sunday afternoon (this was a bad example, but you get my point), not just the hum of devices and the ping of notifications.
I’m not anti-tech. I’m pro-human. I just think we’ve taken a wrong turn.
Technology should be helping us become better humans—not more distracted, anxious, or disconnected ones. The truth is, this grand technological experiment is still in its infancy. We have the chance to pivot, to rebuild—intentionally.
The smartphone changed everything. But it’s not the endgame. Something will disrupt it—something more human. Humane’s AI pin was a bold step, albeit an imperfect one. But the direction is right. The future of tech should be more about how we live, not just what we consume.
AI is already transforming how we work, learn, and create. It will touch every corner of our lives. I don’t think my kids will need driver’s licenses the way I did. Self-driving tech will make travel safer. AI will free us from monotonous labor and offer a path back to ourselves—to purpose, curiosity, and real connection.
And as for money? That’s where Bitcoin comes in. Honest, transparent, incorruptible money. It allows us to think long-term again. To build systems rooted in fairness, not manipulation. It’s a cornerstone of this new vision.
So here’s where I land:
I want to build something. A new kind of company—one that aligns work, education, and life with how we actually function as human beings. One that respects where we came from while accelerating where we’re going. One that uses AI and Bitcoin not as buzzwords, but as tools to optimize humanity.
I want flying cars and weekend trips to Mars—but also slow mornings, meaningful conversations, and time spent in nature with people I love. I believe we can have both.
I want to help build a future where humans flourish.
And I believe the tools to do it are finally here.
If you believe this too, let's talk.

“A retro-futuristic digital artwork in the style of 1960s sci-fi, showing a couple standing arm-in-arm on a Martian landscape. Above them, a vintage flying car zooms through the sky with visible propulsion—glowing thrusters, motion trails, or anti-gravity emitters—making it look like it's actively flying. The sky is deep teal, the terrain rich in Martian reds and oranges. A sleek rocket stands in the background, with planet Mars looming large above the horizon. The overall aesthetic is nostalgic, vibrant, and cinematic, capturing the wonder of a future imagined by the past.”
