Cyberpunk hacker den with purple pimp vibe coding aesthetic — an upstairs office at midnight overlooking the glittering Louisville Kentucky skyline from a hilltop. Ultra-wide floor-to-ceiling windows reveal the city lights below. The room is draped in deep purples and electric neons: purple LED strips lining the ceiling, holographic screens floating with cascading green and purple code, a throne-like velvet purple gaming chair, gold accents on the desk, stacks of legal documents and law books mixed with hacker hardware, mechanical keyboard glowing purple, empty bourbon glasses, a mink throw over the chair, neon signs reflected in the glass. Cyberpunk dystopia meets Southern pimp luxury. Cinematic, ultra-realistic, 8K, moody dramatic lighting, deep shadows, electric purple as the dominant accent color.

THE BUILD: WHAT THIS ACTUALLY IS

Most business education starts at the end.

Someone builds something.

It works.

Then they go backward and create a beautiful framework explaining why it was inevitable.

That’s not particularly useful when you’re standing at the beginning.

THE BUILD starts in the messy middle.

You’ll see:

what I’m trying

why I’m trying it

what AI thinks I should do

what I actually decide

what it costs

what breaks

what gets deleted

what works

what I completely change my mind about

and what I would do differently if I started again tomorrow

WATCH THE BUILD LIVE EVERY FRIDAY

Free to watch. No AI degree required.

No six-month-old “ultimate framework.”

No pretending I knew the answer before I ran the experiment.

Just real decisions, real tools, real money, real experiments, and the occasional spectacularly bad idea.

The business is the case study.

I’m rebuilding a business in the middle of the AI transition—and documenting the decisions as they happen.

A long whiteboard wall in a raw, concrete-walled startup space, covered not with handwriting but with layered, color-coded magnetic blocks, arrows, and icons that represent experiments, revenue streams, and AI workflows for a growing business. On a central table below, multiple open laptops show model training visualizations and growth curves, screens tilted at varied angles. Overhead industrial fixtures cast bright, directional light, creating crisp reflections on the laptop lids and subtle shadows from the magnets. Photographic realism from a slightly elevated angle using the rule of thirds, with the table in the foreground and the strategy wall stretching into the background, capturing the gritty, real-time planning and pivoting of building an AI-era company in public.

A sleek, ultramodern home office desk dominated by an open laptop displaying a dense analytics dashboard of an AI-powered business, with vivid charts and experiment metrics clearly visible but no readable text. The desk surface is matte black with scattered sticky notes replaced by small, color-coded geometric tokens and a minimal wireless keyboard. Behind the desk, a large window reveals a twilight city skyline, hinting at late-night decision-making. Cool, focused LED task lighting pools over the workspace, casting sharp, confident shadows. Photographic realism, shot at eye level with a shallow depth of field so the data-glowing screen is razor sharp while cables, devices, and the distant city blur into a bold, high-tech atmosphere that feels authentic and in the trenches, not staged.

“Seeing every decision before results hit my P&L has been worth far more than $197.”
