Accelerated Intelligence Manifesto

Let's talk about clarity in a world that feels chaotic.

I recently created the Accelerated Intelligence Manifesto – not because I needed another marketing document, but because I needed a compass. 

Maybe you do too.

What's a Manifesto (And Why Should You Care)?

A manifesto is simply a public declaration of what you believe and the future you're committed to creating. It's your stake in the ground.

The BEST ones throughout history didn't just describe reality – they reimagined it. They gave people something to rally around.  

Examples include: The Declaration of Indepence, The 10 Commandments, MLK Jr’s “I have a dream” speech, and Apple’s ad “Here’s to the crazy ones” 

The WORST manifestos in history created misery, violence and discord.  

Examples include: The Communist Manifesto, the Unabomber Manifesto etc. 

Good or bad, the right words, mission and manifesto can spark a movement. 

And that doesn’t need to be a global movement, it can spark movement in you, personally. 

Why I Created Mine

After 20+ years as an entrepreneur, I've learned that when everything is changing around you, internal clarity becomes your superpower.

I wrote my manifesto because:

1. It cuts through the noise (and there's a LOT of noise about AI right now)

2. It attracts people who think like us and repels those who don't

3. It keeps me honest when I'm tempted to chase shiny objects

The core of mine? I believe we can (and must) evolve faster than the world changes around us.

That technology should amplify our creativity, not replace it. That the future belongs to those who create it, not those waiting for it to arrive.

And ultimately, I created it to create clarity in how I want to communicate with you and who I want to surround my self with.

The pace is speeding up. New tools. New threats. New noise.

Most people are overwhelmed. Paralyzed.

Waiting for someone to hand them a map.

Not us. We’re different.

We don’t chase trends—we shape them.

We don’t worship tools—we wield them.

Artificial intelligence is a lever.

Human intelligence is the force behind it.

Accelerated intelligence is our reward.

We don’t seek perfection. We seek progress.

We’re builders who can’t sit still while the world shifts.

We’d rather shape the future than survive it.

We don’t need more information. We need better questions.

Sharper models. Faster decisions.

And the courage to build something new before the old model breaks.

Because the world isn’t waiting.

So we ship. We test. We iterate.

We don’t hide behind perfect plans.

We build while others hesitate.

We create while others consume.

Not because we’re fearless—but because we’ve learned to move despite the fear.

If you see the world changing and feel the pull to level up how you think, lead, and build…

Then you’re one of us.

Welcome.

Should You Create One Too?

Honestly, yes – even if nobody else ever sees it.

The process alone will force you to articulate what you actually believe versus what you've absorbed from others. And that clarity is worth its weight in gold.

And you can do it alone, or you can use AI to help.

Here’s how…
