TIMgpt and The Future of Wisdom Work
In a deliberate attempt to make myself redundant, I built TIMgpt.
I fed it 20 years of work—books, decks, frameworks, internal docs, playbooks, processes, and the diagnostic questions I’ve used across thousands of strategy sessions.
Every belief I’ve formed about entrepreneurship, marketing, infrastructure, systems, leadership and sales is in there. And I’m adding to it daily.
Why did I build it? Not to outthink me, rather to offload me.
TIMgpt exists to handle the parts of my brain that shouldn't be on-call anymore—the repeatable, the explainable, the systematized. It frees me to focus on what only I can do now: the hard calls, relationship building, the high-leverage decision making…
The First Time I Fired Myself
I’ve been here before.
In my 20s, I was your classic vinyl DJ—digging through crates, curating sets, selling mixtapes... Then came CD’s, mp3s, digital Disc Jockeys, and mass access. The craft got commoditized and everyone became a DJ overnight - lame.
So I fired myself from DJ’ing and decided to move on.
And now it’s happening again…
The information age made knowledge accessible. ChatGPT made it conversational. And though not everyone knows how to use AI well yet, they will soon enough. Just like web browsing and using mobile apps, it’ll be second nature.
So I’m firing myself from knowledge work and stepping fully into what I call Wisdom Work.
Tim, What Is Wisdom Work?
Wisdom Work is subtraction.
It’s not about accumulating information. It’s about filtering noise. It’s the strategic process of doing more with less - fewer inputs, clearer decisions, sharper outcomes.
It demands discernment, intelligence, data, and discipline. It’s the space between pattern recognition and decisive action.
It’s where leverage, clarity, and experience intersect.
So if it’s knowledge you’re looking for—please, use TIMgpt. Share it. Abuse it. Let it be your personal workhorse.
But if it’s wisdom you’re after?
