I got tired of a 10-year underwriting career at one of the world's biggest insurance companies in the middle of 2026 – left it – and launched a business called Ink Equity.

On The Fly documents how I'm building the company, where I'm leveraging AI within it, and sharing insights into the experiences, both the good & ugly, while running the business.

A bit more about me:

Husband, proud dog-dad of a 3 year-old Australian Shepherd, and hopefully one day, a future human dad.

BIG New York Jets fan. BIGGER New York Knicks fan. Love to golf, a good beer, cooking and living near a beach town.

Writing about business, marketing, and AI is fascinating to me. It's the 3-headed monster that runs our world.

I've spent the past decade learning and admiring founders who risked it all, put all their chips on the table and got after it. What kept sticking in my head was really the strategy behind it all. A founder must figure out how to market themselves strategically to stand out enough to become a leading voice in their world.

I enjoy AI because I love to work, and having a tool that helps me remove boring tasks so I can focus on what actually matters is cool to me. My goal is to keep myself and you ahead of what's happening in AI as it transforms entrepreneurs and their businesses in ways we've never seen before. It's going to be a wild ride.

I do hope my kids read what I'm documenting one day.

PS: If you're curious about what this newsletter offers, come along for the ride, I'd love to have you and maybe we'll meet in person one day.

To building more,
Dan
