I used to think AI was mostly for saving time. Write this faster. Summarize that. Make this sound better. And yes, it can do all of that. But the bigger shift for me has been using AI as a thought partner. Not to give me the answer. To ask better questions. Questions like: What am I actually trying to create here? What am I avoiding because it feels too big? What would the next obvious step be if I stopped overcomplicating this? What would I do today if I already trusted myself? That changed the way I think about goals, decisions, visibility, writing, community building, and even the second half of life. AI didn’t replace my intuition. It helped me hear it more clearly. That’s the part I think more people are missing. The magic isn’t just better output. It’s better input. Better questions. Better clarity. Better action. And for me, that has made a whole lot more feel figureoutable.

About two years ago I began teaching myself Ai. I learned all about ChatGPT and how to create and train my own Ai agents. I learned Ai imagery platforms and how to make art, water colors/Ink artworks with my private GPTs I built. And then about eight months ago I heard about Ai Music generation softwares. I was a touring sound engineer and concert video director and was blessed to work with some incredible world class musicians and was a songwriter since I was 18 years old, but never published any of my works. Well then I found Suno. I created Ai artists and started writing music and now 20 album releases later I have built an entire music label with ten artists with the help of Ai. While some are not into Ai music, because there really is a lot of slop out there, I approached it as an engineer, composer and lyricist and learned to build command structure into the lyrics that made it more like composing a track rather than prompting it. So now I create music and artwork and videos to promote the music and could not be happier with my choice. Ai has literally changed my life and my career trajectory at 63 years old. Now I am creating real life bands around this music and am having a blast doing it!
