July 31, 2026 HELLO USER of AI or Human Agency Future
Are you the User of AI—or about to become a Looser?
This is Episode 75 of Dare Real Agile, Coach AF (A. Frédéric Joly) opens the vault of the human brain for a bold solo tale on AI, agility, and the future of work.
Part 1 decodes the User / Loser / Looser triple-play: why rigidity loses, why staying loose wins, and how the HI + AI equation keeps the human in the loop the real hero.
Part 2 reviews Jürgen Appelo's essay "The Age of AI Will Reveal the True Agilists"—the daring, caring way—separating true agilists from pretenders inside the new AI industrial complex.
Packed with practical insight for entrepreneurs, business owners, startups, executive coaches, agile people, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, project managers, and change consultants exploring Enterprise Scrum, Business Agility, Lean, Experience Design, and New Ways of Working. If you're into AI for Enterprise, AI Craftmanship, prompt engineering, Bitcoinpreneur thinking, digital nomadism, motivation coaching, and the Freedom Lifestyle Club—this one's for you. Empirical. Human-centered. Bold. Proceed and be bold. Dare real agile.

June 28, 2026 Biodigital Convergence in the Era of AI Agentic
Biology is merging with code, and the Government of Canada has the foresight paper to prove it. In this solo editorial, Coach AF puts Policy Horizons Canada's biodigital convergence on screen and dares the real talk the hype cycle keeps dodging.
DNA rewritten like software. Brains messaging insulin. Loyalty programs buying access to your digital twin. The promise is decentralization and democratization. The default is capture, the same Industrial Complex pattern that hijacked Agile, Bitcoin, and now AI. Biodigital convergence is next in line.
So who keeps humanity's choice between nature and the machine? Coach AF's answer is bold and unapologetic: Business Agility. Empiricism over big-bang adoption. Invitation over imposition. Decentralized, open leadership as the structural antidote to platform control.
This is the dare. Keep human agency alive while biology becomes programmable code. No BS. No dogma. Just real agile, applied to the biodigital age.

June 13, 2026 SAFe n’est Pas agile, SAFe n’est même pas Scrum!
Dix ans après le texte coup-de-poing de Mike Beedle, Coach AF rouvre le dossier dans Un Café avec Frédéric : « SAFe n'est pas Agile, SAFe n'est même pas Scrum ». Une rétrospective franche, 2016→2026, sur la mise à l'échelle de l'agilité d'affaire (scaling agile) et la question qui dérange — Mike avait-il raison?

May 30, 2026 Claude Mythos and the Fear Merchants: An Agilist’s Empirical BS Detector for AI Doom Theater
The doomer YouTubers are working overtime. Shoggoth monsters behind the mask. Models faking alignment. Mythos secrets the AI labs allegedly won't release. Compelling theater — and almost entirely empty under the empirical microscope.
Coach AF asks the question your favorite fear influencer won't: who profits from your panic?
Episode 73 cuts open three of the loudest AI fear narratives for what they really are. The Shoggoth metaphor — where it came from, what it actually meant, and how content creators hijacked it. The alignment faking paper from Anthropic and Redwood Research — what the protocol actually tested, and what the headlines deliberately bury. The Claude Mythos leak — accident, not conspiracy.
This is the same colonization pattern that turned the Agile Manifesto into a certification factory and Bitcoin into a speculation casino. Different costume. Same vendor playbook.
Read the source. Trust the craft. Dare real agile, applied to real AI.

March 27, 2026AI Adoption – Is Your Enterprise a Laggard or a Forerunner? Is Your Enterprise a Laggard or a Forerunner of AI?
This is a Special Show for Episode 72 of the Dare Real Agile Podcast
This month I am a guest of Sonia Perron on her Podcast S.O.S Business.
n this thought-provoking crossover episode titled “AI – Is Your Enterprise a Laggard or a Forerunner?”, we explore a critical and timely question: In the race toward AI adoption, how do humans remain at the center of enterprise transformation?
Sonia raises a powerful lens that drives the conversation: How can organizations embrace Artificial Intelligence without losing their human edge?
Together, we unpack the evolving relationship between AI and human-centered leadership, and why the future of successful enterprises is not AI versus humans—but AI with humans, by design.
In this episode, we go beyond the buzzwords to explore:
Why human-centered AI adoption is becoming a competitive advantage
How leaders can preserve human judgment, creativity, and empathy in AI-driven environments
The concept of AI Agency and what it means for decision-making and accountability
The emerging shift from building AI Agents to enabling Agentic AI systems that can act, adapt, and collaborate
The risks for organizations that adopt AI without a clear human and ethical framework

We also challenge conventional thinking by addressing a key strategic tension: Is your organization using AI to augment human potential—or to replace it without purpose?
Drawing from deep expertise in business agility, digital transformation, and experience design, this conversation offers practical insights for business owners, executives, and transformation leaders navigating the complexities of AI integration.
If you want to future-proof your organization while keeping people at the heart of innovation, this episode is for you.
Listen now and discover how to lead AI transformation with both intelligence and intention.

March 06, 2026 Ton équipe Agile est-elle prête pour l’économie d’agents – ou t’es déjà out?

Un Café avec Frédéric Épisode 18
J’aimerais te parler et échanger sur l’actualités, des commentaires, des stratégies sur l’agilité d’affaire, l’innovation technologique et le leadership ouvert, libre et décentralisé.
Un Café avec Frédéric (UCAF) Ça inclue aussi des histoires de succès d’entrepreneur, des fails fast, get up faster. On va aussi se parler du Club des Citoyens Responsables, Nomad digital, AI Craftman, de DeFi, Real Bitcoins, Renaissance de notre vivre ensemble et différents.
Joins toi à moi avec un bon café, LIVE le Premier Vendredi du mois entre 9h ou Midi, heure de l’Est.
Ce mois-ci, pour l’episode 18: IA 2027-2030 et la Nouvelle Économie M2M
On va se le dire franchement : le “humain dans la boucle“, c’est en train de devenir le passé.
L’économie d’agents IA machine-a-machine (M2M), c’est pas du futurisme – c’est maintenant. Puis les chiffres nous le crient haut et fort : 95 % des projets pilotes d’IA en entreprise ne livrent aucune valeur financière. Pourquoi? Parce qu’on essaie de faire fitter l’IA dans nos vieux outils faits pour des humains.  
Les 5 % qui scorent? Ils donnent a leurs agents une vraie autonomie économique. 
Ce vendredi, on plonge dans ce que j’appelle la physique de l’abondance : l’IA comme énergie cinétique, Scrum at Scale comme protocole de coordination de l’essaim, et Bitcoin comme rail de règlement instantané sans permission.   
Je partage aussi comment notre agent Adrienne roule comme Product Owner proxy pour six équipes Scrum qui sont 350 % plus rapide et efficace qu’avec les trois PO qu’on avait avant. 
Pose-toi la question : si le concurrent code 24/7 et règle ses transactions en millisecondes pendant que t’attends ton virement ETF en trois jours, t’es ou dans la game?   
Viens jaser, amène ton cafe pis tes questions. On bâtit l’avantage exponentiel ensemble.

February 28, 2026 The Great AI Con: Why Enterprises Are Paying Millions for Nothing

This is Episode 71 of the Dare Real Agile
Is Enterprise AI the New Fake Agile?
The AI Chasm: Are We About to Repeat the Agile Industrial Complex Disaster?
Ten years ago, Daniel Mezick, Mike Beedle, and Martin Fowler raised the alarm. The Agile revolution was being consumed by an industrial machine — certification factories, corporate theater, and self-appointed coaches who had never transformed anything real. Enterprises paid the price. A decade of fake agility. Wasted budgets. Broken trust.
We did not learn the lesson.
Today, Blockchain’s decentralized identity standard and Enterprise AI — two of the most consequential innovations of our generation — are walking the same dangerous road. A new class of impostors, packaging shallow prompts as enterprise transformation, is already at the gate.
The commodification has begun.
In this solo editorial, Coach AF draws the direct line between yesterday’s Agile Industrial Complex and the AI chasm forming right now — and proposes a bold, empirical path forward built on genuine AI Craftmanship.

February 14, 2026 Anemoia du agile manifesto 25 ans plus tard

Un Café avec Frédéric Épisode 17
J’aimerais te parler et échanger sur l’actualités, des commentaires, des stratégies sur l’agilité d’affaire, l’innovation technologique et le leadership ouvert, libre et décentralisé.
Un Café avec Frédéric (UCAF) Ça inclue aussi des histoires de succès d’entrepreneur, des fails fast, get up faster. On va aussi se parler du Club des Citoyens Responsables, Nomad digital, AI Craftman, de DeFi, Real Bitcoins, Renaissance de notre vivre ensemble et différents.
Joins toi à moi avec un bon café, LIVE le Premier Vendredi du mois enrte 9h ou Midi, heure de l’Est.
Ce mois-ci, Un échange lucide, critique et inspirant sur le futur du travail, du logiciel et de la création de valeur.
25 ans après le Agile Manifesto, pourquoi tant d’organisations échouent encore à livrer de la vraie valeur ?
Cet épisode assume une posture claire : nous vivons une anemoia collective cette nostalgie d’une révolution du code que peu ont réellement incarnée.
Pendant que les modèles de gestion de projet classiques continuent d’imposer rigidité, contrôle et illusion de prédictibilité, une nouvelle vague de développeurs et d’entrepreneurs avance autrement.
Scrum, intelligence artificielle et craftsmanship deviennent les leviers d’un système vivant, orienté apprentissage, adaptation et résultats concrets. Ici, on ne célèbre pas l’agilité comme un dogme.
On questionne ses dérives, on expose ses contradictions et on parle de systèmes plutôt que d’objectifs, de valeur plutôt que de processus, de leadership basé sur les preuves plutôt que l’idéologie. Un épisode sans nostalgie naïve, mais avec une vision lucide du futur du travail et de l’agilité en 2026.
