Let’s be clear: the era of separating personal passion from professional purpose is over.
In fact, continuing to separate the two is just one of the biggest strategic mistakes leaders make today.
I chose a different path. I decided to align everything I care about:
- Karate, for its discipline, values, and lifelong mindset of progress.
- Technology, for its ability to fundamentally transform how we live and work.
- Artificial Intelligence, for its power to unlock creativity and boost real productivity.
The result is a unique, integrated method. It is simple, powerful, and deeply personal. I bring it to life through MD Consulting.
1. Creating Meaningful AI Content with “Business Pulse AI”
AI isn’t just a technological shift. It’s a cultural, economic, and even philosophical movement.
Through my podcast, Business Pulse AI, I explore how real leaders are using AI. They are not just optimizing their business models but reinventing them.
In my upcoming book, GTM & AI, I outline the frameworks. These frameworks help companies launch and scale impactful AI-powered offerings. They assist in Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy.
AI Training: From White to Black Belt. It is a practical and structured guide to becoming fluent in AI. There is no fluff, just results.
This content isn’t created to follow a trend — it’s created to set a direction.
2. Training AI Thinking, Inspired by the Discipline of Karate
Karate shaped my mindset: the structure, the humility, the progression. It’s not about quick wins — it’s about steady mastery.
That’s exactly the approach I bring into AI learning and adoption.
With AI Training from White to Black Belt, the journey becomes clear and measurable:
- White belt: Understand the fundamentals
- Yellow belt: Start experimenting
- Black belt: Master AI and apply it with precision in your business
No jargon. No overwhelm. Just structured growth that mirrors the same values as martial arts — continuous improvement, discipline, and execution.
3. Delivering Tailored AI Strategy That Drives Results
Here’s the truth: AI isn’t the challenge. The real challenge is figuring out how AI actually fits your business.
At MD Consulting, we don’t start with the solution. We start with your reality.
That means:
- Strategic diagnostics
- Workshops designed around your context
- Concrete implementation plans that are aligned with your real needs — not trends or hype
We focus on clarity, simplicity, and business alignment. Because hype doesn’t drive results — intentionality does.
Align Your Passions. Design Your Strategy. Multiply Your Impact.
This isn’t just a methodology. It’s a professional lifestyle. One where your core passions fuel your strategic edge. One where everything you do is coherent, intentional, and impactful.
Karate taught me to be patient, but relentless.
Technology gave me the tools.
AI opened a new dimension of potential.
MD Consulting is where it all comes together — for people and companies ready to move from curiosity to mastery.
Are you ready to build your own “Starter Pack”?
