I spent more than 20 years in tech and go-to-market, including time at Google and multiple startups. When AI started changing everything, I began using it to augment my own solo practice, and I learned it the way a skeptic does, by testing it on real work. Along the way, one thing was missing: hardly any of the AI advice out there is focused on experienced professionals who have spent decades building real judgment.

That gap is why I started AI Over 50, and I'm on a mission to help experienced folks thrive in this new AI era. There is a real need for those of us between 50 and 65 to put AI to work, skeptically, practically, on our own terms, with no hype and without the overwhelm. My job is to make it genuinely useful, peer to peer, without the jargon.

Everything I teach comes back to three beliefs I developed working with these tools:

• Be the skeptic who uses AI. Stay wary of the technology and get proficient enough to question it firsthand. The person who uses AI and still asks the hard questions is who we should all be right now.

• Bet on your foundation. Learn the fundamentals that do not change with every new model release, and look past the noise to the systems underneath.

• Your experience is the edge. Decades of work and change gave you judgment, pattern recognition, and the instinct to push back. That is the one thing AI cannot supply on its own and it is exactly what makes it work well.

If you have been curious about AI but unsure where to start, you are in the right place. Let's put your experience to work.
