Get On Board or Get Out — AI Is Forcing Leaders to Choose

The pressure to adapt to AI is no longer subtle — even at the top. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is telling executives to fully commit to the company’s AI transformation or step aside. As Microsoft undergoes what Nadella calls a “tectonic AI platform shift,” leaders are being pushed to move faster, work leaner, and rethink how value is created across the business. Weekly AI accelerator meetings and constant “learn and unlearn” mandates are becoming the norm. For some longtime Office and Windows executives, the pace is too intense — prompting serious retirement conversations. AI leaders inside Microsoft say the marginal cost of creating new work is collapsing, turning six-month timelines into six-week cycles. When even veteran executives are questioning whether they can keep up, the signal is clear.

So what does that mean for you?

Longevity now belongs to adaptability — not tenure. The same forces pressuring executives are reshaping opportunity for individuals who move early:

• Learn tools that compress time and output
• Build systems instead of relying on roles
• Apply AI to multiply existing skills
• Create leverage that doesn’t depend on hierarchy

AI isn’t a future disruption — it’s an operating mandate. Those who adapt gain speed and autonomy; those who resist get sidelined. The shift is happening in real time, and the gap between movers and laggards is widening fast.

Competitor Intelligence System

Goal: Build an automated monitoring system that tracks competitor moves, price shifts, and market gaps to give you a continuous strategic edge.

Steps:

1. Architect the Value Tiers

   Use Claude to engineer three service tiers that emphasize ROI over "hours worked."

   Prompt Claude: Act as a high-ticket business strategist. Design three tiered service packages (Starter, Growth, Elite) for my [Specific Skill] business that solve [Client Problem] using value-based pricing logic.
   ➡️ Next: Choose your "Growth" tier as the primary offer to anchor your pricing.

2. Draft Benefit-Led Copy

   Generate slide content that speaks directly to a CEO's desired outcomes.

   Prompt Claude: Write 5 sophisticated, benefit-driven headlines for a pitch deck that explain the long-term business impact of my [Service Name] without using robotic marketing buzzwords.

   ➡️ Next: Copy these headlines into your presentation outline.

3. Design the Pitch (Canva)

   ➡️ Next: Open Canva, search for "Minimalist Keynote," and apply your brand colors and the copy from Step 2.

4. Build a Logic-Based Proposal

   Use Claude’s long-context reasoning to draft a detailed Scope of Work (SOW).

   Prompt Claude: Draft a comprehensive Scope of Work for a [Price Point] project, including a 4-week phase breakdown, specific deliverables, and clear success metrics in a professional, authoritative tone.

   ➡️ Next: Save this draft as the "Technical Appendix" for your visual pitch deck.

5. Script Empathy-Led Follow-Ups

   Prepare follow-up messages that feel like a helpful partner rather than a pushy vendor.

   Prompt Claude: Write a 3-part "check-in" email sequence for a prospect who hasn't signed yet, focusing on being a proactive advisor and addressing common high-ticket hesitations.

   ➡️ Next: Paste these into your CRM or email drafts for immediate use after your next call.

^{AI SPOTLIGHT}
China’s AI Chip Push Is Closer Than the West Expected

China has quietly built what amounts to a Manhattan Project for advanced AI chips. In a high-security lab in Shenzhen, Chinese engineers have completed a working prototype of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine — the critical technology long monopolized by the West and essential for producing cutting-edge AI chips. Built by former ASML engineers and now undergoing testing, the machine is operational but not yet producing usable chips. While China’s government is targeting 2028 for success, those close to the project say 2030 is more realistic — still years ahead of earlier estimates. The effort is deeply state-backed, coordinated by Huawei, and designed to eliminate U.S. influence from China’s semiconductor supply chains. Export controls slowed progress, but they did not stop it.

Key Takeaways:

• China has built a functioning EUV lithography prototype
• The machine can generate EUV light but hasn’t produced working chips yet
• Government targets 2028, with insiders expecting closer to 2030
• Former ASML engineers played a central role in the breakthrough
• Export controls delayed — but did not prevent — progress

My Take:

This isn’t just a technology story — it’s a strategic inevitability. Supply chain decoupling doesn’t freeze capability; it forces reinvention. China’s progress shows that barriers buy time, not permanent advantage. The real edge belongs to those who assume competitors will eventually catch up and position themselves accordingly — in chips, AI, and every industry built on them.

Wall Street Isn’t Warning You, But This Chart Might

Vanguard just projected public markets may return only 5% annually over the next decade. In a 2024 report, Goldman Sachs forecasted the S&P 500 may return just 3% annually for the same time frame—stats that put current valuations in the 7th percentile of history.

Translation? The gains we’ve seen over the past few years might not continue for quite a while.

Meanwhile, another asset class—almost entirely uncorrelated to the S&P 500 historically—has overall outpaced it for decades (1995-2024), according to Masterworks data.

Masterworks lets everyday investors invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artworks by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.

And they’re not just buying. They’re exiting—with net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5% among their 23 sales.*

Wall Street won’t talk about this. But the wealthy already are. Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…
