Summary:

I unpack why I canceled a planned business trip to Toronto, despite real opportunities, because the personal risk calculus changed after what we just watched unfold in Minnesota.

I was set to go to Toronto to help teams scope AI projects. Then the headlines out of Minnesota hit, and it wasn’t background noise anymore...it was a new rulebook. In this episode, I walk through why I pulled the plug, how I’m re-thinking “business as usual,” and what builders and operators should do when the system itself starts feeling unstable.
