People often see the results of the books, the brands, the AI company, the magazine, the podcast, but very few know where it all began.
It didn’t start with funding or connections.
It started with long nights, skipped dinners, and a quiet determination to rebuild my life through ideas.
This is my story: how I went from a moment of uncertainty to building a global voice in AI.
1️⃣ The Breaking Point
Years ago, I left a well-secured government job — not because I had another opportunity waiting, but because I believed there was something more meaningful to create.
I had no backup, no plan B, and no income.
But I had a laptop, a white shirt, and one rule:
“If I’m going to fail, I’ll fail trying to build something that matters.”
That’s how the journey began.
2️⃣ The First Book: A Spark in the Dark
Writing my first book wasn’t a project; it was survival.
It was the only way to turn pain into purpose.
Every night, I would write until my eyes burned, translating frustration into frameworks and lessons into pages.
That book didn’t make me rich.
It made me resilient.
Because success isn’t built on certainty, it’s built on consistency when certainty is gone.
3️⃣ When AI Entered the Story
When ChatGPT arrived, most people saw a tool.
I saw a revolution of thought, a way to democratize creativity and scale impact.
That’s when I started writing AI books, not to sell software, but to help people move from AI fear to AI fluency.
One book became five.
Five became forty.
And every title was a message to someone who had once felt stuck like I did.
4️⃣ Building ReThynk AI: From an Idea to a Global Ecosystem
I founded ReThynk AI to make Artificial Intelligence simple, ethical, and accessible.
What began as an idea in a small room became a company with a global audience through books, lectures, podcasts, and the ReThynk AI Magazine.
The mission was, and still is:
“To help 10 million people move from fear to fluency in AI.”
And it’s happening one learner, one reader, one breakthrough at a time.
5️⃣ What I Learned Along the Way
- You don’t need luck: you need clarity.
- You don’t need speed: you need consistency.
- You don’t need to know the future: you need to build for it anyway.
Every skipped dinner, every sleepless night, every quiet moment of doubt was building the foundation for the person I am today.
Final Thought
I didn’t build this journey to prove anything.
I built it to remind people that AI isn’t here to replace you, it’s here to help you rise again.
So wherever you are, whether you’re coding late, writing your first article, or rebuilding from zero, remember this: your story might just be the spark someone else needs.

Every skipped dinner, every sleepless night, every quiet moment of doubt was building the foundation for the person I am today.
This was powerful to read — especially how you turned uncertainty into a mission rather than a setback. The part that stood out most to me was seeing AI not as a tool, but as a way to democratize creativity and uplift people who feel stuck. Your journey shows how clarity + consistency can truly create global impact. Thank you for sharing the “unseen” side of the success—very inspiring. 🙌
