When Work Evolves With Us
In my last post, I ranted a bit—a sort of vent-session about how work feels broken and outdated. This is the follow-up—but with a bit more structure. Still from the brain of a bro named Chad, just sharpened with a sense of purpose.
When I started this blog, the idea was to lean into the fact that I’m literally a bro named Chad—but not just for the meme. I wanted to turn that energy into something of value. Something that could reach people who are asking the same kinds of questions I am. Mainly:
Why does modern work still feel like it was designed for a time pre high speed internet?
The more I think about it, the more obvious it feels: we’re on the edge of a shift. And it’s being driven by two massive forces—AI and Bitcoin.
These aren’t just buzzwords. They’re tools for decentralization, optimization, and potentially—liberation. If we apply them thoughtfully, they might just fix work while they’re at it.
What If Work Was Designed Around You?
Let’s be real—almost no one does their best work in a rigid 9-to-5. Most people don’t work well for 8 hours straight.
“To produce at your peak level you need to work for extended periods with full concentration on a single task free from distraction.”
In his book, Newport suggests most knowledge workers can sustain this kind of deep work for only 2–4 hours per day. That’s it. So why are we still measuring productivity by hours clocked instead of output achieved?
Now imagine this:
Your day is broken into personalized blocks of focused work, guided by your natural rhythms. You use AI to help coordinate tasks, filter distractions, summarize meetings, even write proposals. Meanwhile, it tracks how you're feeling, how long tasks take, and nudges you to stay in flow.
Think of it like a personal chief of staff + life coach + ops manager—all rolled into one.
You still get your work done—likely faster—but with more autonomy, more balance, and more energy left for your actual life.
It’s Not Just Idealism—It’s Psychology
This isn’t just a dream. Daniel Pink’s research in Drive lays it out: what really motivates us isn’t micromanagement or bonuses. It’s:
Autonomy – the desire to direct our own lives
Mastery – the urge to get better at something meaningful
Purpose – the yearning to serve something larger than ourselves
The system the majority of us still work in kills all three.
But the tech we now have—especially AI—can do the opposite: enhance autonomy, support mastery, and reconnect us to purpose. If we design it that way.
What If There Was a Tool for This?
I’m not saying I have all the answers. But I do have a direction.
What if there was a tool that:
Identifies your personal work rhythm (your chronotype)
Builds your day around real-life priorities—family, workouts, rest
Automates mundane tasks so your energy stays focused
Tracks both well-being and output to help you evolve your workflow
This wouldn’t just serve individuals—it would serve companies too. Because when people are thriving, businesses thrive. It's not about slacking off. It's about finally aligning how we work with how humans function.
I believe this is that future. A tool that optimizes life and work, so we can be the best version of ourselves—without burning out or bending to systems that no longer make sense.

Prompt used to generate image:
“A vibrant tropical beach scene where vacation and remote work blend naturally. Several people are enjoying the day in different ways—some lounging with drinks under umbrellas, others playing beach games or chatting. In the foreground, a casually dressed person relaxes in a hammock properly tied between two palm trees, working on a laptop. Floating near them are subtle holographic interfaces showing tasks, wellness tracking, and a flexible schedule. Nearby, a live musician strums a guitar while a couple enjoys lunch at a breezy outdoor café. In the background, surfers walk with boards near the water, kids play in the sand, and gentle waves roll in. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed—balancing productivity, autonomy, and joy in a sunlit, human-first vision of the future.”
So… Where’s This Going?
That’s the thing—I don’t know exactly yet. I’m still mapping it out.
But here’s the twist: I’ve recently had an idea for a totally different kind of company. It’s called BROS (Bitcoin Retention Optimization Services). It’s focused on helping people actually hold Bitcoin, understand it, and build a base layer of financial resilience and independence. It’s also a further lean into this brand I’m creating (I don’t take myself too seriously haha).
Totally unrelated, right?
Or maybe… exactly related.
Because what better testing ground for a new way to work than a new kind of business?
Maybe BROS becomes the first company to live out this vision of autonomy, mastery, and purpose—powered by Bitcoin, assisted by AI, and built for humans. Maybe that’s how I build the lab to test this theory of optimized, human-first work.
Stay Tuned
If this resonated—even just a little—I’d love to know.
And if you're curious about where this tool goes next (or want to be part of building it), you can join the waitlist here. Or reach out to me if you want to jam on the idea.
This is all evolving in real-time, and I’m figuring it out as I go. But one thing I know for sure: work should evolve with us—not against us.
