Today wasn’t just the first day. It was a portal.
Into new thinking. Into new conversation. Into the kind of connections that don’t just accelerate—but expand.
I sat at the Digital Distillery and found myself unexpectedly moved. Not because the coffee was good (it was), but because the dialogue was better. There’s a strange magic in hearing something you already knew, but in a way that actually lands.
Humor, for example.
One of the speakers reminded us how humor—genuine, unscripted, human humor—has the power to disarm, to interrupt stereotypes, and to invite the unexpected.
Does AI have a sense of humor?
And if it doesn't—should it?
This question hit me.
Because what we feed into AI today will shape how it moves tomorrow.
And most of what we've fed it so far comes from a narrow, inherited worldview:
one that reflects the thinking, behavior, and biases of old white male dominance structures.
That doesn’t make AI bad.
But it makes us responsible.
AI doesn’t decide. It predicts. It proposes. It amplifies.
It’s up to us whether we repeat the categories—or break them.
In elite sports, we also see how deeply internalized certain models still are.
Even in a national women’s football team, 99% of role models mentioned are men.
That’s not a statistic. That’s a symptom.
And it leads to a deeper question:
Who are the role models for this generation—really?
And what does that say about our collective future?
These reflections brought me back to something I’ve built with great care and a lot of heart:
the Ikigami App.
A digital tool to help you sense, articulate and name your personal purpose—your Ikigai.
And because I’m currently in the middle of two weeks of deep presence, full learning, and extraordinary conversations,
I want to open this space to others.
A Gift — from now until May 18
Anyone who downloads the Ikigami App as a first-time user will receive two full report credits for free.
No charge. No subscription. Just access.
In return, I ask one thing:
If the app resonates, please leave a short public review in the app store.
Your words can help others find their own.
Because I believe we don’t just need new ideas.
We need new questions.
We need digital spaces that reflect depth, nuance, dignity.
We need tools that point us back to ourselves, not just forward into noise.
Today I learned a lot about humor, bias, innovation, and inclusion.
I had lunch conversations about life, death, birth, parenting, business, legacy, digitization, deep identity, and everything in between.
I believe these are the spaces where Radical Sensitive Leadership takes root.
And I want you to have a way to start, too.
Try the app.
Try listening inward—digitally, yes, but also quietly.
Because whatever we feed today will shape what becomes possible tomorrow.
