Karthik Ramadoss & his AI Wanderlust
The world
Ever feel like you’re scrolling through a world that’s forgotten what’s real?
There’s a lot of noise out there. Hype dressed up as insight. Experts selling magical silver bullets. Gurus preaching digital abstinence like the only answer is to drop off the grid and live in a cave.
I think that’s a false choice and frankly, a boring one.
I believe in a 3rd path
One that blends timeless wisdom with cutting-edge tools.
This isn’t about adding to the noise or amplifying the hype and jargon.
It’s about tuning into the signal - signals from areas that captivates my imagination: Future technology, world travel, motorcycling, photography, space & what’s beyond and what makes us human.
Why I am here
I write to learn. To remember what matters.
To connect with people asking the same questions I am:
How do we build and lead a meaningful life in an age of exponential change?
What you can expect
The content will evolve as I get my own bearing. Here is what I intend to start with
Compass for AI - curated highlights from thought leaders and my learnings.
Wayfarer - I love collecting new stamps on my passport. Measuring what matters, smiles per mile either in my car or my motorcycle!
Tools I actually use - in life and at work - apps, books, systems, frameworks, mental models.
Junk drawer - travel scratches my photography itch.
Who am I
I’m a lifelong learner. Sharing my learnings with others adds meaning to my learning. I spend my waking hours in the intersection of technology, leadership and curiosity - leading globally connected teams while fueling my wanderlust and motorcycle miles.
This Substack is my thinking space. A place to connect the dots with AI and ancient wisdom, work and wilderness, books and big questions.
I am a dad to a wonderful 14 year old and as my dad was an inspiration to me, I hope to be his.
If you’re curious about the professional thread running through it all, you can find me on LinkedIn where I talk shop - building global teams, scaling tech and designing systems that power both.
