Zero to AI
From Zero to AI: my honest journey of mid-career reinvention — sharing the wins, losses, and lessons so you can shape your own path.
The world has changed, and so has the economy. For many of us, the “safe” career paths no longer feel safe. After nearly two decades running a digital agency and years as a senior business analyst, I realised experience and education weren’t enough to guarantee stability. Zero to AI is my way of sharing the messy but real story of what it takes to reinvent yourself in this new era — using AI as both a tool and an opportunity. Through Zero to AI, I’m sharing the personal side of this shift: the wins, the missteps, and the playbook you can adapt. AI is no longer just for techies — it’s a chance for anyone, in any role, to reclaim financial and personal freedom. Join me on this reinvention journey, learn the lessons quickly, and discover how to pivot and build your own future.
