This past week marked the final weekly update at the Trelais Tech Startup House for our 30-Day Real AI Dynamics Immersion Program Challenge in Oahu, Hawaii, and I can truly say it’s been a transformative journey.

I’m beyond excited to celebrate my birthday at the happiest place on Earth—the Polynesian Cultural Center on the campus of Brigham Young University–Hawaii.

It’s my favorite place, and today, I was honored to give a presentation for the Entrepreneurship Club there.

The experience of sharing my entrepreneurial journey and AI expertise with the community has been incredibly fulfilling.

We’ve been fortunate to welcome some world-class guests, mentors, and lecturers to the house, providing insights that were nothing short of inspiring.

Yet, the most valuable part of this journey wasn’t just the wisdom gained—it was the friendships and relationships forged.

The true magic lies in the connections we’ve made, lifting each other up, empowering each other to reach greater heights, and setting the stage for continued success together.

I had the opportunity to speak at the Brigham Young University Marriott School of Business, addressing the AI in Business Society and demonstrating how AI can solve real-world challenges through practical use cases.

The custom AI development projects we’ve been building for enterprises have been amazing, showing just how impactful AI can be in driving business growth and innovation.

It hasn’t been all smooth sailing—we worked incredibly hard, often putting in sleepless nights to get the job done.

Amid the hustle, I found time to relax and enjoy the Hawaii community that I’ve come to love.

From sharing delicious and healthy vegan meals with friends at the tech house to an oceanfront lunch, to even golfing and having lunch with YPOers at a local country club—every moment has been a reminder of how lucky I am to be here.

The Hawaii community has shown me the perfect blend of wellness, business, and connection.

These experiences are about more than just business growth; they’re about creating a balanced life filled with meaningful relationships and unforgettable memories.

The friendships and support systems we’ve built at Trelais are what truly set this program apart.

We’ve become a powerful mastermind, ready to uplift and support each other as we chase our goals.

This journey has shown that true success comes from surrounding yourself with those who push you to be better, sharing the grind, taking risks, and always moving forward together.

Here’s to the incredible week, the community we’ve built, and the bright future that lies ahead.

The journey is just beginning! 🚀🏝️⛳️
