Thinking about building, creating, and staying sane in a world that's changing fast.
Notes on AI, art, business, and figuring things out as I go.
Notes
I don't manage time anymore. I manage energy.
Most productivity advice assumes you feel good most of the time. That's the hidden variable.
AI isn't the disruption. Identity is.
Projects
- Hopin Academy — Launching in Denmark.
- Nuramind.ai — Health-tech for the nervous system. Flagship: the Concussion Navigator app — currently in testing.
- Concussion Navigator — An app in testing that helps people with concussion understand their energy patterns and remove decision stress.
- In Flow Institute — Health-tech for life after concussion. The In Flow method rebalances a nervous system stuck on high alert through Action and Activation — short bouts of movement like 20 seconds of running or brisk walking — followed by deliberate down-regulation: calm movements, breath work, and pressure on specific safety points that desensitize the alarm response and activate the body's own healing.
- Artcars — Where art meets the automobile.
Art

Concussion & AI
After a concussion, the hardest part often isn't the symptoms — it's the decisions. Rest or move? Push or pause? The In Flow method retrains the nervous system through short bouts of Action and Activation followed by deliberate down-regulation. The Concussion Navigator, built by Nuramind.ai and currently in testing, uses AI to remove the daily decision load: it reads your energy patterns and tells you the next small move. AI is most useful in health when it makes the patient lighter, not the clinician faster. Read the full post →
