Books I’m Reading
This book was recommended to me by my coach and friend. One of my pastors also went through it and suggested I read it.
I’ve followed Jocko Willink’s work for years now, listening to his podcast, Jocko Podcast, off and on.
There’s no question about it: the Biblical model of servant leadership is the right form of leadership. It brings about the most flourishing for all who are connected to it (both the leader and those they’re leading).
Podcast I’m Listening To
In this special long-read episode, NLW digs into insights from thousands of executive interviews about AI and agents in the enterprise. Based on data from Superintelligent’s Agent Readiness and Opportunity Mapping audits, he unpacks where companies actually stand today—what’s working, what’s blocking progress, and where the biggest ROI opportunities lie.
NLW covers:
- The average Agent Readiness Score and what it means for real-world adoption
- The top AI and agent use cases showing up across industries
- The biggest blockers: fragmented data, change fatigue, unclear governance, and skills gaps
- The patterns of organizations succeeding with AI—and the archetypes falling behind
- Why 2026 will be the “Year of Context” and the “Year of ROI”
If you want to understand what’s really happening inside enterprises right now with AI and agents, this is the one to listen to.

Here’s my provocative thesis for the 50+ participants I expect to be in the room:
Blockchain and crypto are incredibly relevant for you and your organization right now, today.
We’ll dig into these two technologies and explore both current and potential applications for advancing God’s kingdom. I’ll post the slide deck and audio in next week’s What I’m Crunching.

Patrick (and by extension, @nic__carter) are correct. Stablecoin issuers will end up paying out all of their yield, one way or another. This will put a lot of pressure on banks that don’t. They’ll have to pay up.
The fact that banks don’t pay competitive interest on deposits was… https://t.co/Ds6D6k05SV
