The Shock
When ChatGPT hit the market, I was thrilled. Finally AI for everyone! But then the realization hit me like a punch: My 25 years of experience were suddenly just worth a prompt. Anyone could access with a few words the knowledge that took me decades to build.
The Dark Phase
I was devastated. What am I worth if a machine delivers in seconds what took me years? This question haunted me for months. At 52, I suddenly felt obsolete.
The Insight
Then came the turning point: Instead of just using AI, I can learn how AI works. My experience isn't worthless – it helps me understand where automation truly makes sense. Technical knowledge alone isn't enough. You also need to know which problems are worth solving.
The Restart
At 52, I gathered my courage and started fresh. 14 months of intensive AI Engineering training. Not to fear AI, but to truly understand it. My goal: Help companies use AI in meaningful ways – with 25 years of E-Commerce knowledge and fresh AI know-how.
