Now
What I'm focused on right now.
Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page idea. A point-in-time snapshot of building, reading, thinking, and life. Kept honest because it's dated.
Last updated · June 2026Building
- Scaling Ace, Alcanah's AI workspace platform. 20+ agents, cross-project orchestration, and a product pipeline that treats workspace changes like software releases. Running daily in my own businesses and a handful of client engagements.
- Hardening Ace's foundations: restore-tested backups, a Postgres task bus, and AI work that gets audited by a second AI. The notebook has the field notes.
- Building and deploying AI-powered operational systems for clients, from CRM automation to content pipelines.
Reading
- Working through a list of books recommended by my DC Mastermind group. Will have to post about it.
- Always open to any book recommendations. Shoot me a message.
Thinking About
- The boundary between what AI should handle and what humans must keep. Building systems that respect that boundary.
- How to build operational infrastructure that survives the builder. Systems that don't need you to run.
- The gap between having a good product and having a business, and how operations bridges it.
Personal
- Training Functional Patterns 3 times a week.
- Learning to maintain a healthy lifestyle with constant travel.
- Learning to be patient with things that take time.
