It's funny to recall that a year ago, I thought my next work trip would be a second van trip, this time to California and around the Southwest. Instead, I hit Chicago and Kathmandu, marking the start of a new goal: to create a career as a consultant at the intersection of inclusive insurance and climate resilience.

Starting with a nearly blank slate, I spent 4000 miles of driving listening to various sources discuss the latest developments in AI. This post summarizes my takeaways and how I plan to keep moving along my AI journey.

A look back at the road trip, with numbers.

This trip was just what I needed. 

Tomorrow I pick up the van and load it up, and we take off Friday morning.

It all begins with an idea.
