Sixteen weeks ago, I drove into Palm Springs, California after 6’000 kilometres on the road, with two suitcases in the trunk and a lot of courage.
Since then, I have gained more than I ever planned for:
▪ I have found a condo that I now call my second home.
▪ My wardrobe has been reborn for desert life.
▪ New contacts have welcomed me into circles I could never have imagined.
▪ The desert gives me healing spas, sacred places and a life that renews me every day.
How did all of this happen so fast?
My intuition chose the direction, and AI did the heavy lifting.
I was the captain, while the technology was simply my crew.
In the end, every single “yes” I received came from a human being.
▪ A landlord decided to trust me.
▪ Someone I met at an exhibition introduced me to the right people.
▪ One warm conversation led to the next, and the doors kept swinging open.
Here is the truth that 2026 keeps whispering to us.
Algorithms can deliver the options, but they will never make the decision.
You have to be smarter than your algorithm.
AI can find the address, but only a human will invite you in.
Some people master the tech and forget the person behind the screen, while others trust their charm and ignore the tools.
In a digital world, every opportunity is still approved and given by a human being, and that is exactly where you need to build.
Use AI to help you sharpen your CV and your LinkedIn presence etc, and then invest the time you save in real people.
The world is your oyster, and pearls are passed from hand to hand.
