Uncrowded Strategies#010: Replacing My Company With AI Agents

Hey, it’s Gabriel here again with this week's edition of Uncrowded strategies.

My weekly private notes on 🧪what I’m building, ❤️ how I’m growing my family, 💰my investment portfolio, and the weird things I’m doing to 🧬optimize my health this week

(Current Focus: AI as amplification, not automation)

(Tool of the week: OpenClaw)

This week I’m still spending time building Sonny (my OpenClaw bot)

I'm building a digital factory. No warehouse. No employees. No physical location.

This factory will churn out videos, content, newsetter fully automated.

I built a dashboard to manage multiple agents at once.

Here's what I'm working toward: replacing 80% of my agency's processes with AI agents.

Think about that. The tasks that drain you. The repetitive work. The stuff you have to do but hate doing. All handled by agents you orchestrate from a single screen.

The Uncrowded Take: Everyone's talking about AI. But most people are still using it like a fancy Google search. The real leverage? Building a digital factory. A system where you are the manager... and AI is the team.

The future isn't men vs. machine. It's men orchestrating machines.

And honestly? That future excites me. Because it means we stop doing the things that drain us... and start doing only the things that light us up. No one has to grind on tasks they hate anymore. You just need to learn how to lead agents.

That's the uncrowded skill.

It's Chinese New Year this week. And instead of just going through the motions... I decided to actually learn what it means.

Here's what hit me: the tradition of giving red packets and speaking blessings over people. That's not just cultural. That's spiritual.

In my Christian faith, we call it "believe and speak." You declare something over someone's life. You bless them. With your words and your wallet.

The "Uncrowded" Move: I stopped caring about the "correct" amount. You know the game... the social math of red packets. Who gets $8. Who gets $88. Who's watching.

I threw all that out.

Instead, I gave whatever amount would actually be a blessing to the person in front of me. Not performative. Not calculated. Just love.

Here's why this matters to me: Christianity is the only faith with the revelation that God is relationship. Read that again. It’s not God created relationship. God IS relationship.

The universe exists in space-time and matter. If God created the universe, He is NOT contained by what He created. This means He is everywhere, anytime, all at once.

Before creation, there was a relationship & communion between the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are ONE God but 3 persons. This is the mystery of the trinity.

We are created in the image of God, and this is why deep down all of us long for a meaningful relationship with others.

Which means relationship supersedes everything... money, career, health. All of it exists so we can enjoy the people God has placed in our lives.

This CNY reminded me: money is not the goal. Money is a tool to love people better.

Not much movement this week. Still the same AI play.

Here's the honest truth: I haven't taken an active income in nearly a year. (I'll share more on why in a future edition... it's a story.)

Because of that, I'm not actively buying right now. But if I were?

(More details on my no-income journey coming soon. Stay tuned.)

This one's heavy. But I promised you raw. So here it is.

After a long back-and-forth conversation with ChatGPT (yes, I use AI for self-discovery too), I realized something I'd been avoiding for years...

I have trauma embedded in my nervous system.

The signal? I can't sit still. Stillness feels dangerous to me. Not boring. Dangerous. Like something bad is about to happen. Even when everything seems good and I’m surrounded by people who loved me.

And when I traced it back... I found the source.

When I was young, my dad beat me. Not discipline. Not a spanking. He beat me to the point of near death. (I’ll spare you the details…)

That kid didn't just learn to be tough. He learned to be hyper-vigilant. Always scanning. Always bracing. Always moving... because stillness meant you weren't ready for the next hit.

Here's the thing: my life today is completely transformed. My faith changed everything. I have a beautiful wife, beautiful kids, and a mission to break the generational curse. But transformation of the mind doesn't automatically mean transformation of the nervous system.

The Experiment: I'm starting somatic therapy. It's a body-based approach to releasing trauma that's stored physically... not just mentally.

The Why: Because I refuse to pass this down. I refuse to rage at my kids and not know why. I refuse to let a wound from 27 years ago control how I show up as a father today.

The Signal for You: Most people who experience trauma when young and not healing from it, will often find themselves raging at their kids and more likely to be addicted to drugs and alcohol for seemingly no good reason. The issue might not be willpower. It might be your nervous system still fighting a war that ended years ago.

Healing isn't weakness. It's the most uncrowded strategy there is.

See you next week,

Gabriel
