Ever feel like the future changed overnight—and no one gave you time to catch up? 

I did.

One morning, I was standing outside the New York Public Library, staring up at the two massive stone lions. 

Their names? 

Patience and Fortitude. 

They were named during the Great Depression—a time when millions were losing their jobs, homes, and sense of purpose.

And now… we’re back here again. Economic pressure is rising. Tariffs are returning. And this time, AI isn’t just automating physical labor—it’s coming for white-collar, creative, and analytical work, too. You feel it. So do I.

That moment in front of the library shaped the heart of my new book, The Wolf Is at the Door. Because this isn’t just about tools. It’s about identity. About who we become when our relevance feels under threat.

And those lions? 

They’re not just statues. 

Patience isn’t passivity—it’s the quiet space your mind needs to connect the dots of your future. 

Fortitude isn’t rigidity—it’s the strength to bend without breaking.

If you’ve felt unsteady lately, you’re not broken. You’re being invited to evolve.

So tonight, ask yourself: What skill—or belief—am I clinging to that AI could replace? 

That’s the first thread to pull. That’s where your next chapter begins.
