Here’s key updates to my Future Map predictions, action plans and tools since my last email in December 2024.

I’ve published a lot in the past six months—much more than I expected to for 2025. I’ve refined key documents and released new ones because the pace of change is accelerating. 2025 has already taught me so much, reshaping how I think and act going forward.

While my businesses are down this year (which is unnerving), this has still been the best year I’ve ever had because of innovation that is allowing for personal and other business breakthroughs. If you don’t have time to read everything—no worries. Just download the docs and ask an AI to summarize them for you.

The Generational Reset

In both ruling and non-ruling circles—political and business—I’m seeing the outlines of what I call the Generational Reset: a three-phase transformation of the global system led by the U.S. It’s bold, fast-moving, and could be brilliant—but also painful. These resets are rare. The last one was the Great Depression of the 1930s, which destroyed legacy wealth while creating opportunity for those positioned for change. This time will be no different. Make sure you’re on the right side of this shift.

Future Growth Engines For The U.S

The U.S. has three unique economic superpowers—two already active and one just now emerging. That third one is a game-changer few are talking about. When combined, they have the potential to trigger the most powerful economic boom in American history.But it’s not guaranteed. I explain what needs to happen to unlock this next supercycle.

Q: If AI takes my job, what will I do?

A: Here Are the Jobs of the Future

This tool, first published in 2024, has been significantly updated. Everyone talks about how AI will kill jobs—but few are identifying what new jobs it will create.

History shows innovation creates more opportunities than it destroys. This document outlines what those future jobs could look like and where the opportunities may lie. I also list an transition plan to help people future-proof their work and income.

How AI Has Transformed By Life

  1. It resolved chronic health issues I’ve battled for years, replacing my $3K/year concierge doctor. The quality of life improvement? Priceless.
  2. I used it to build my own home-based hosting and development environment—saving $4K/year from using cloud providers.
  3. It taught me how to install solar at my home—saving $20k.
  4. I no longer pay IP attorneys—I do my own filings.
  5. I don’t hire developers anymore—AI writes my app code.
  6. My productivity has exploded—it’s like there are 1.5 or 2 of me now.
  7. Next year, I don’t plan on needing an accountant anymore.

And I believe I’m only scratching the surface of how AI will continue to help me in the future. Yes, I’ve let go of a number of professionals—but I’ve redirected some of those savings into other parts of the economy: outdoor gear (thanks to better health), computing equipment, solar systems, and more. I’m also exploring new business ideas that wouldn’t have been possible for me before AI. AI isn’t “bad”—it’s simply transforming the economy. The key is learning how to adapt.

With that, I will hit the send button.  Please have a safe and enjoyable summer.

Thank you for reading!
