About the Book
One quote. One reflection. One prompt. Every day.
Technology moves fast. Too fast. The tools change, the platforms shift, the job descriptions get rewritten overnight. But the questions that matter — How do I lead? How do I grow? Where am I actually going? — those haven't changed in decades.
Wired for Purpose is a 360-entry daily devotional built for the people who build and run technology. Whether you're a junior engineer writing your first production code or a CTO steering your organization's next transformation, this book meets you where you are — one page at a time.
Each entry follows a simple rhythm:
A quote to ground you — drawn from books like Limitless by Jim Kwik, Outsmarting Reality by Nero Knowledge, the Stoic philosophers, classic winemakers, artisan bakers, and the author's own Finding Direction in the Age of AI.
A reflection — a short story or observation from over twenty years in IT infrastructure, cloud transformation, and leadership. Real situations. Real lessons. No fluff.
A takeaway — one clear thought to carry through your day.
An AI prompt — a specific question you can ask ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or whatever comes next to go deeper. These aren't gimmicks. They're thinking partners.
12 months. 12 themes. One journey:
This book was written with a purpose: yours. Your north star changes every day — with your role, your team, your season of life. Wired for Purpose gives you one daily reminder of where you are, where you need to go, and how to get there.
"Speed without direction is noise." — Michael Earls
The first hour runs the rest of the day.
Somewhere along the way, we gave our mornings away. Inbox first. Slack first. Other people's priorities first.
Wired for Purpose hands that hour back.
Where Finding Direction in the Age of AI was the map — what's changing, what isn't, and how to lead through it — Wired for Purpose is the daily practice. The map is useful. The practice is what makes it stick.
Speed without direction is noise.
The book is built for the leader who wants to lead the day instead of chase it. Not someone trying to escape technology — someone trying to use it without being used by it.
One reading a morning. Four parts. Every day.
Each daily entry follows the same simple structure — short enough to keep, deep enough to matter:
The book is organized into twelve monthly themes — Foundation, Direction, Resilience, Trust, and others — so the practice deepens across the year, never flattens into routine.
