Why I Sometimes
Talk About Work on the Weekend
& Why That’s Okay
Let’s be honest: if you’re one of those people who believes you’re not supposed to talk about work on the weekend, I get it. It’s a common mantra “leave work at work,” they say. But here’s the thing: when you’re building something meaningful, sometimes the lines blur. Sometimes, the work becomes part of your life, and that’s not a flaw; it’s a reflection of your commitment.
So, yes, I may be guilty of discussing work on a Saturday or Sunday. And I’ll tell you why: because what I’m about to embark on is bigger than a nine-to-five. It’s a mission. It’s a movement. And it requires focus, passion, and yes, sometimes, a little bit of weekend hustle.
The Underdogs Who Are Far From Powerless
What’s fascinating about our journey is that, while many might see us as the underdog, we are far from powerless. I’ve founded a coalition a unified platform that brings together fair-priced technology providers and platforms. We are a collection of underdogs working cohesively, and together, we’re incredibly strong.
If people want to see us as the underdog, that’s fine. It’s a story that fuels us. We’re up against legacy media giants that justify 80% margins on digital ads, operating under the assumption that local business owners won’t notice or fight back. But I have faith in America. I believe Americans deserve transparency they should know exactly what they’re paying for, and what they’re getting in return. That core principle has been echoed in conversations across the country, and it’s what drives us forward.
The Power of the Phone and the Future of Work
Another key insight? People are using their phones more than ever. That realization became the cornerstone of our approach. After reading a thousand PDFs and attending endless trainings, it finally hit me: “This could be a mobile app.” Why not empower hardworking individuals to use the device they already own to unlock opportunities, rather than letting that device control their lives?
When people stop endlessly scrolling and start operating, their phones transform from distractions into tools of strength, courage, and creativity. Imagine an app for ad agencies, for freelancers, for anyone who wants to take control of their work accessible anywhere, anytime. Making it easier than ever for people to own their future and their freedom.
The Road Ahead: From Phones to AI
And here’s the exciting part: this is just the beginning. In ten years, the phone itself might disappear replaced by AI assistants embedded seamlessly into our daily lives, like a real-life KITT from Knight Rider. What once seemed like science fiction is quickly becoming reality.
We’re building for that future, where technology empowers individuals giving them tools to thrive, not just survive. And sometimes, that means talking about work on the weekend. Because the mission doesn’t sleep, and neither do we.
In Conclusion
So, if you catch me chatting about work on a Sunday, just know: it’s because I believe in what we’re creating. We’re underdogs with a purpose, united and unstoppable. We’re here to change the game, to bring transparency, and to empower the next generation to leverage technology in ways that make their lives better every day, weekend or not.
Because true innovation doesn’t respect the clock. It respects the vision.
