From Ocean Cycles to AI Systems: Why I Bet Everything on Sustainable Intelligence

After four weeks away—and as we celebrate five years of Before The Tipping Point Podcast (formerly The Business of Aquaculture)—I’m sharing the story behind a major pivot.This isn’t a story about leaving aquaculture because it failed. It’s about recognizing what it taught me: patience, systems thinking, and how interconnected everything truly is. Working with nature showed me how cycles drive growth—but it also revealed something I could no longer ignore… inefficiency.In this episode, I unpack why I walked away from an industry I loved and stepped into the world of AI-driven sustainability. Not AI for hype—but AI as a tool to help businesses operate smarter, faster, and more profitably.Because what I saw coming is this: the businesses that understand systems—and leverage AI to optimize them—won’t just survive. They’ll lead.This is the beginning of a new chapter. One where we take lessons from the ocean and apply them to the future of business.If you're curious how AI connects to sustainability, seafood, or your own operations, this episode is for you.Support the show
