In 2007, I was 29 years old. I had worked for seven years at an elite management consulting firm. Things were wonderful, except not quite. Something about the life path unfurling in front of me was just…off.
I took a six month sabbatical and I traveled around the world. Argentina, Peru, Japan, Thailand, Spain, Italy, Mexico. I figured something out, and I made myself a promise.
I returned to consulting. I turned 30. Life continued, but I didn’t forget. It took some time, a few more years, to understand what that promise actually meant, and how to implement it within the complicated context of a busy human life.
But I do understand now, at least I think I do, and I have completely re-oriented my world around a single design principle. It has made all the difference.
What am I talking about? And how does it relate to AI?
