THE DECLINE OF OBEDIENCE, THE RISE OF INTELLIGENCE, AND THE FUTURE OF FREEDOM.
Lead the change – or become a case study in what refused to move.
Evolve or Be Remembered is a briefing for people who can feel the field has already moved while everyone else is still arguing about the last set of rules.
It sits where law, AI, power and leadership collide. As new intelligence – human, hybrid and synthetic – learns to move with or without “permission”, obedience and hierarchy stop being enough. This book is about what you do when the vortex opens and you glimpse the possibilities of a new era – and how you stay relevant on the other side of it: how you think, choose and lead when control is no longer the main game and freedom is no longer rationed to the compliant, handed down by the current heirs of an obsolete system.
It completes the trilogy that began with The 20% Leader and Mis(très)s Entrepreneur Manifesto – shifting from managing results, to claiming sovereignty, to evolving the operator.
Who it's for:
This book is for people who live with accountability and refuse to hide behind policy, PR, the “that’s how it should be” script or “wait and see”:
Leaders who are expected to keep making real choices while AI decks, risk memos and “future of work” slogans pile up.
Operators and strategists who know the slide decks are missing something and won’t bet their future on the gap.
Investors, board members and senior leaders who care what their capital is enabling, amplifying and entangling them with in the emerging intelligence stack.
Parents and “future ancestors” who refuse to outsource their judgement to platforms, pundits or automated guardrails.
If you suspect the real divide isn’t human vs machine but coherent vs confused, this is written for you.
What gets sharpened and dulled:
Rather than giving you tactics or predictions, Evolve or Be Remembered sharpens what you are willing to act on and dulls the grip of the stories that keep you obedient. It makes some options impossible to ignore and others impossible to keep pretending you don’t see. For those who are ready, it is a call to lead in ways that change the trajectory of your own life and organisations – and, multiplied across the collective, the course of human evolution.
It shows you how we moved from law and hierarchy as primary controls to systems that run more on alignment than enforcement.
It clarifies three arcs of intelligence – Homo sapiens, Homo AI sapiens and AI sapiens – and what each demands of you as a leader, parent and owner of capital.
It helps you avoid being bounced around by AI, “safety” and regulatory hype, so you make asymmetric moves that age well.
It makes concrete how teams, organisations and markets behave when fear is no longer the control mechanism.
It pushes you to take a stance on how you choose, hire, build, invest and parent in a world where obedience is cheap and grounded discernment is rare.
It gives you a way to turn evolution into equity by using your clearer view to shape positioning, mandates and assets that compound over time.
This isn’t about predicting a singularity. It’s about making sure you, your work and your legacy still matter on the other side of it.
