I spent this weekend watching The Bear season four, and it reminded me of something my grandfather would never have imagined when he arrived from Greece in the 1920s. 

Picture this: A young Greek immigrant with nothing but determination, deciding to open a restaurant in America. 

Did he know anything about running one? 

Not a clue. 

But what else would a Greek do? 

What made our family restaurant different wasn’t just the food. 

It was the philosophy. 

Every morning, we baked fresh bread, made pies from scratch, and crafted everything by hand. 

Salad dressing, chocolate sauce, and even mayonnaise are all made with love. 

My grandfather had a saying: “Anyone can heat up food, but only an artist creates an experience.” 

From Kitchen to Cutting Edge 

Fast forward to the 1980s: I was a computer technician working on machines bigger than your car. 

By the 1990s, I was managing networks as the Internet was being invented. 

I’ve spent 30+ years on the bleeding edge of technology. 

Here’s what I’ve learned: The biggest opportunities come disguised as complicated new things that “nobody understands yet.” 

Remember the early internet when “You’ve got mail!” was exciting? 

Most people thought it was a fad. 

But some of us saw the future. 

The AI Revolution Is Here 

Today, I’m watching history repeat with AI, and it’s moving faster than anything I’ve seen in three decades. 

We’ve gone from “What’s ChatGPT?” to “How do I build AI agents?” in what feels like a heartbeat. 

We’re not in the “mature AI” phase yet. 

We’re in the “You’ve got mail!” phase. 

Just two years ago, everyone obsessed over “prompt engineering.” 

Now that’s old news. 

Today’s successful entrepreneurs aren’t building AI tools; they’re building AI experiences. 

And just like my grandfather’s restaurant, the difference between a tool and an experience is everything. 

Experience Over Everything 

An AI tool says: “Here, use this prompt to generate content.” 

An AI experience says: “Tell me about your business, and I’ll create a complete marketing campaign that sounds exactly like you, knows your industry, and delivers results your clients will love.” 

While your competitors figure out ChatGPT, I’m building custom AI experiences that intimately know your business, work 24/7, consistently apply your expertise, and scale infinitely.  

Your AI Transformation 

I’ve partnered with cutting-edge platforms to create custom AI experiences that feel like natural extensions of your business. 

What I deliver: 

Custom AI Experience Development

• Complete Implementation: Technical setup, staff training, client templates, and performance tracking. 
• I handle everything. 

The Window Is Closing 

Here’s what 30+ years taught me: The biggest advantage goes to those who move first, but that window doesn’t stay open forever. 

Right now, AI is powerful enough to transform businesses but not yet common enough to be expected. 

Soon, AI experiences will be table stakes. 

Will you be leading that transformation, or scrambling to catch up? 

Your Next Move 

I’m only taking 5 new AI transformation projects this quarter. 

If you’re ready to explore how custom AI experiences could transform your business, I’m offering a complimentary 30-minute AI Strategy Session. 

We’ll analyze your processes, discuss AI experience concepts tailored to your business, outline an implementation strategy, and determine if this partnership is a good fit. 

Reply with “AI STRATEGY” and I’ll send you a private calendar link. 

A Personal Promise 

My grandfather taught me that the secret ingredient isn’t just what you serve, it’s how you make people feel. 

That’s the philosophy I bring to every AI project. 

This isn’t about technology for the sake of technology. 

It’s about creating experiences that make your clients feel understood and supported even when you’re not in the room. 

The future belongs to businesses that deliver a personalized experience at scale. 

That future is available right now. 

Are you ready to claim it?
