We live in a time where there is more opportunity to learn, grow and connect than ever before in History. While that may sound like the best thing ever, it can get overwhelming to many (if not all), especially for those of my generation, Gen Z. I feel like everything around me is moving so quickly (like AI) that I can't keep up with it. My brain is overloaded with information, the majority of which I can not truly grasp... Which is why the more I learned, the more I feel like "The only thing I know is that I know nothing", just like Socrates. Now, I may not have even half of his wisdom but I do get something. Something it took me a long time to understand when the answer was right in front of me this whole time: There will NEVER be another time like the present. It won't be easier, and things will not be magically better if I keep saying "I'll do it tomorrow" or "I need to 100% confident and ready". SO by joining this community as well as taking concrete action, I am thinking "screw overthinking, let's just see what happens 😅". My name is Amélien Verheyden, I am an 18 years old normal guy from Canada with great ambitions but no clear direction. I have this gut feeling that I can thrive in business, in helping people, but there are too many unknowns for now. STILL, I decided to take action before being ready. My purpose here and during the Summit is to invest in myself as that is the best investment that I can make. I may not yet know when or how I will apply in my life the concepts I am going to learn here but, I'm only striving to get BETTER. Which is why I humbly ask for your advice if you are willing to share it, as I know I have much to learn from the many successful like-minded people that are in a position I desire. So let us all show solidarity and pull each other up! 😊 Amélien

I am honored and excited to be here. I am looking forward to the summit and learning in increasing my knowledge about AI and the wonderful and awesome tools that are available and how to maximize them. I know I have a lot to learn, but I’m willing to stretch my mind and talents to make the adjustments and adapt and be prepared for. this next great opportunity. !!!!

What would we do with 10 extra hours a week? It is a simple question, but it reveals something important about how we think about work, life, and AI. Most of us say we want to save time, but we rarely stop to define what saved time is actually for. We chase efficiency, clear inboxes faster, shorten tasks, and automate small pieces of work, yet we often spend the reclaimed time filling it back up with more noise. That is why this question matters. Ten extra hours a week is not just a productivity gain. It is margin. It is attention. It is space to choose instead of react. Over the course of a year, that is more than 500 hours we could redirect toward better work, better health, stronger relationships, deeper thinking, or real recovery. When we look at AI through that lens, the goal becomes much bigger than doing tasks faster. The goal is getting time back in a way that actually improves how we live and work. In most teams, time does not disappear in one dramatic place. It leaks out through rework, delayed decisions, context switching, unnecessary meetings, scattered information, and first drafts that take too long to start. We lose hours not because we are lazy or uncommitted, but because modern work is full of friction. AI has value because it can reduce that friction. It can help us move from blank page to useful draft faster. It can summarize, organize, brainstorm, and accelerate decisions. It can shrink cycle time on the kind of work that quietly drains our week. But the deeper opportunity is not just operational. It is personal. What would we do with those 10 hours if we truly earned them back? Some of us would invest them in strategic thinking instead of staying trapped in execution mode. Some would use them to build better systems so future work takes less time. Some would finally document processes, mentor teammates, or learn the skills that reduce future dependency and rework. Others would use those hours outside work entirely, to rest, exercise, be present with family, or simply think without interruption. All of those are valid. In fact, that is the point. Time saved only becomes valuable when it is redirected intentionally.

Why so many people feel stuck right now isn’t because they’re lazy, weak, or broken. It’s because they’ve lost a compelling future. When you take away someone’s belief that tomorrow can be better, that their effort leads somewhere meaningful, you don’t just kill motivation. You kill hope. Napoleon Hill called this drifting. Living without a quest. No clear direction. No emotional pull. No reason to endure the hard days. Humans are wired to move toward something. A future worth sacrificing for. A vision that pulls you forward when life gets heavy. Without that, everything feels harder than it needs to be. Work feels pointless. Discomfort feels unbearable. Life starts to feel like something you’re just trying to survive. So here’s how you create a compelling future in a real, practical way. First, stop being vague. “More money” or “less stress” won’t pull you forward. Get specific. How do you wake up when life is working? Who are you with? What problems are gone? If you can’t feel it, it won’t move you. Second, decide who you need to become to live that future. More disciplined. More decisive. More honest. Less available to distractions. A compelling future isn’t just a destination. It’s an identity you’re growing into. Third, give yourself a 90-day quest. Drifting happens when time feels endless. Momentum shows up when time feels intentional. One focus. One target. One thing that proves you’re moving again. And finally, protect your optimism. This matters more than people think. If you live in cynicism, doom, and constant negativity, your future shrinks. Optimism isn’t naive. It’s a strategy. A compelling future doesn’t magically appear. You choose it. You design it. And you defend it. Question for you: what’s one thing about your future you’re choosing to be optimistic about again?
