AI AGENTS
"Ready... Fire... Aim!"

Developed + taught by me & @nelsonvanegas, for the @wolffcenter seniors.

Nelson is my partner, and the technical one on our team.

We've taught entrepreneurs and teams for over a decade. The structure, the format, the systems, the resources... our IP, adapted for audiences and licensed to partners.

So when Dave asked us to bring it to WCE, we were all in.

After a meeting with Dave I sat front row in Prof. Nordby's class, ChatGPT open, live fact-checking the students' pitches 😏 and taking notes.

Most of the planning was just me + Nelson, behind the scenes, finalizing details all summer. Touching base with Dave as we went.

We met with different AI knowledgeable folks along the way. Compared a lot of notes. Considered different platforms.

And grateful for the UH Bauer College of Business Dean, Xianjun Geng, for his blessing and support! 🤲🏽

Day 1: phones in at the front. That's a WCE house rule, not ours. We roll with it. 🫀

Class 2 - we go deeper...

We build the system where our personal agents check on things for us, flag what needs our attention, and take stuff off our plates.

Virtual homework for those not in our class - it works outside this room too:

Write down the 3 things that keep landing back on your plate, every single week. Things you may not want to be doing.

That's your first agent's job description.
A skill that your agent can refer back to.

It's not about to get good.
It's already good. 🧠🫀

So tell me one of your 3. 👇🏽

Celebrating 40 years of @hahmp ✨ Scholarship Recipients ✨ and Lifetime Achievement Honoree @raulpeimbert 🌹

Loved the video of HAHMP founders and past presidents, the tribute video, and hearing Raul's stories...

How he started by reading short excepts from books and later interviewing Presidents... thank you for sharing your journey with us Raul!

Congrats to this year's scholarship recipients! We sat with one of the recipients at our table who's passion is in sports media. 🙌🏽

Cheers to the whole HAHMP board, and @virimal, gala board chair for another amazing event. 🌹

And love to see the continued support of sponsors investing in the next generation of media professionals.

Special thanks to Jalilah and Andrew, student entrepreneurs in media at UH WCE, for joining us and helping to capture content!

Friends of El Salvador extends our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us for Flores y Sonrisas and helped make this special evening a beautiful celebration of community, generosity, and our shared love for empowering communities toward self-sufficiency.

Every ticket, sponsorship, donation, and act of support helps create meaningful impact in 14 communities across El Salvador. Your generosity helps provide food and toiletry baskets for families, while supporting health and wellness programs that encourage active lifestyles and disease prevention. It also helps advance our ongoing work in education, community development, and creating opportunities for communities to thrive.

What makes this work possible is you! The friends, families, businesses, sponsors, volunteers, and community leaders who continue to believe that together we can make a difference, one community and one life at a time.

Thank you for showing up, giving generously, and helping us bring more flores y sonrisas to communities in El Salvador.

¡Mil gracias por ser parte de this journey!

Behind the scenes on the 2026 Buffalo Bayou Mural Festival promo shoot.

This one was fun. To see 50+ strangers work together to bring this zany vision in my brain to life was an absolute treat. Major shout out to the talented drone op who guided the path @perspective.tx it was a pleasure watching you fly. 🎯

Props to the founder @meenr_one for rallying the community together. Thank you to @cruxcchouston for trusting us with their great new venue. We’ll see you in October for the festival. And we can’t forget about @jbarmbbq for coming through and feeding all the extras. 🤟

But most importantly thank you to each and every person that showed up with an open mind and sweated through it all in those paint suits. Tag yourself in the comments 🙏

Hoy celebro mis 15 años en Houston. ❤️ >>>
15 años en una ciudad que me abrió las puertas, que me vio crecer, caer, levantarme, reinventarme y vivir algunos de los momentos más importantes de mi vida.

Llegué a Houston sin imaginar todo lo que esta ciudad me iba a regalar. Aquí encontré oportunidades, amistades, familia, mis hijos crecieron aquí, divorcio, y encontré a mi mejor amiga, sueños cumplidos y, sobre todo, una comunidad que me hizo sentir en casa.

A ustedes, los que me han escuchado en la radio, me han visto en televisión, me han saludado en la calle, han compartido una risa conmigo o simplemente me han permitido acompañarlos camino al trabajo, a la escuela o de regreso a casa: GRACIAS🫶🏼❤️❤️❤️…

Porque estos 15 años no son solamente míos.
También son de ustedes.

#Houston me dio una oportunidad, pero ustedes me dieron un lugar en sus vidas, y eso vale más que cualquier premio o reconocimiento.

Hoy puedo decir con muchísimo orgullo y gratitud:
Houston, eres parte de mi historia y yo espero haberme ganado un pedacito de la tuya.

Por los primeros 15… y por todo lo que todavía nos falta vivir juntos. 🥂❤️

Gracias, Houston. Esta quinceañera es de todos. 😂🎉
Los Amo! José Felipe Padrón “Jojo Al Aire”
