Why AI Storytelling Falls Short and What It Reveals About Us
AI-generated stories feel off not because they lack grammar or structure, but because they miss the messy, irrational humanity we bring to every narrative. That hollow perfection is a mirror: it reflects our own reliance on patterns over meaning. The real insight isn't what AI gets wrong, it's what we reveal about ourselves when we notice. Explore that gap, and you start building better tools.
From Engineer to Empire: How One Solopreneur Built a $2M Puzzle Franchise
Joe Cassavaugh traded the corporate engineering ladder for a solo career building puzzles and stories. His journey from software engineer to a $2M+ indie franchise owner is a masterclass in applied leverage. He scaled to 10 games in 5 years by adopting Unity for a 4-6x velocity boost and optimizing his content pipelines. For senior devs, his key takeaway is sharp: the trade-offs between corporate life and solopreneurship are significant, but the velocity gains are real. It's a practical look at refactoring your own career.

This session is about turning your narrative into leverage.
