A Thanksgiving Reflection: Finding Purpose in Life’s Unexpected Turns
Published on 2024-11-21 14:02
I’m taking a break from our usual AI discussions to share something personal as we prepare for Thanksgiving. Phil Nugent recently featured my story in Colorado AI News. It made me reflect on how life’s detours often guide us to where we need to be.
This year has seen incredible AI progress. Yet what matters most isn’t the technology. It’s the amazing people who make this journey worthwhile. It’s the communities that lift us up. The partners who share our mission. The champions who make space for all voices. The family who keeps us grounded.
In this newsletter, I thank many wonderful people who’ve shaped my path. A single newsletter can’t capture everyone who deserves recognition. To those named and the countless others who’ve made a difference. Thank you.
The newsletter also includes a link to a AI podcast version for those who are auditory learners or simply prefer to listen to podcasts.
As we gather for Thanksgiving, I’d love to hear your story. Who are you grateful for? What unexpected turns brought good things to your life?
