Vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s strength. I just finished *Getting Naked* by Patrick Lencioni and *Don’t Believe Everything You Think*. The lesson? Clients don’t want superheroes. They want real people who ask the tough questions, admit when they don’t know, and put the client first. That’s how trust is earned. That’s how partnerships grow. That’s how we lead.

Over the past few months I’ve tested Replit, Cursor, and now Kilo with Copilot and Claude. I’ve burned down and rebuilt instances, ripped out integrations that didn’t work, and wrestled with Docker, Digital Ocean, Spaces, and Stripe. What I’ve learned is that vibe coding isn’t about instant deployment—it’s about learning, iterating, and staying in flow. For developers, it promises faster scaffolding and fewer headaches with boilerplate. For non-coders, it opens the door to building real applications without years of training. It’s still clunky, but the direction is clear: coding by describing is evolving fast, and persistence really does pay off - hopefully.

Because at the end of the day, the strongest leaders aren’t just at the top—they’re in the trenches.

When I was contemplating becoming CEO, many people suggested I read this “old” book. So there I was, lounging under the Cancun sun with a breakfast smoothie (fine, a piña colada) in hand, when Ben Horowitz’s words hit me like an unexpected wave: “There are no silver bullets for this, only a lot of lead bullets. Leadership, I realized, isn’t about waiting for the perfect solution to appear—it’s about persistence, grit, and making tough calls, whether in the boardroom or at a street-side taqueria deciding between tacos and ceviche.

The Japanese art of Kintsugi and the modern concept of antifragility offer lessons in leadership. Kintsugi transforms broken pottery into art by highlighting its cracks with golden lacquer, symbolizing beauty in imperfection and strength in repair. Similarly, antifragility, as coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, teaches us to thrive amid chaos, leveraging volatility and failure as opportunities for growth. For leaders, this means embracing challenges, fostering innovation, and building systems that don’t just endure disruption but grow stronger because of it.
