What happens when the workforce starts to read its own DNA?

A growing share of the workforce is walking around with a genetic result, from a test they bought or an employer paid for, that the company is legally kept from seeing. The cost surfaces anyway, and almost no one is asking what the institution wants to be to a person who knows.

Human Possibilities

The science of editing embryos is advancing in plain sight. Who is doing it is not. A moratorium can express a shared limit, but it cannot create the visibility needed to hold one.

The Heel Prick Matrix

Two babies born the same day, a few miles apart, no longer get the same test at birth. One is screened for a few dozen conditions. The other can have its whole genome read and stored on day one. Both are still called newborn screening.

The Biggest Evolution of Our Generation Has No Name

Genomics, longevity, and precision medicine are converging into one thing that still has no name. The last shift, digital, changed what we do. This one reaches the code, and changes what we are.

The Longevity Superhighway Is Finally Open

Wellness, aging medicine, and precision genomics spent a decade as separate roads. They are merging now, and not as equals. The lane that connects your specific biology to what to do next is the one most people have not been told they can access.

The Ultimate Velvet Rope

The real longevity advantage may not be the intervention everyone can see. It is the information most people still do not have. The line is starting to run between people whose future risk is already visible and people still waiting for disease to reveal it.

Houston, We Have a Data Problem

Genomics is generating the most consequential dataset in history. The gap between generating it and having a vision for it will define the next era of human health, wealth, and power.

Shell Game: DNA Edition

The consent structures in genomics are more formalized now. But someone is still benefiting from this data. And it is most often not the person it came from.

AI is 2026's Honey Badger

The debate about AI is over. And somehow, unusually, everyone agrees. Nothing stops it, nothing slows it down, and it certainly does not wait for anyone to be ready.

Are We Entering the Bar Mitzvah Phase of Enterprise AI?

A bar mitzvah is a formal threshold. The status changes in a moment, even if the maturity to carry it fully comes later. That is enterprise AI right now.

Individuals with Pathogenic Variants

Rare disease became visible when it became a category. Genetic risk hasn't gotten there yet.

Revisiting the Map: BRCA and the Future of Preventive Medicine

I wanted to see the BRCA ecosystem the way I'd seen AI and ML ecosystems mapped in the early 2010s. I couldn't find a map like that. So I built one.

Two Rabbits, Confucius & the Super Bowl

The man who chases two rabbits catches neither. On focus, strategy, and what AI changes about that equation.

The Bowl and the Machine

I spent my career at the edge of technology. A health scare forced me to pause. I ended up back where my career began: sound.
