From Setbacks to Showtime
I wrote last fall about the emotional rollercoaster of building RoboArt—a tech startup I launched at age 58, way outside my comfort zone. Starting over at age 58, creating a new company with emerging technology is not easy, especially when you’re an apparel guy and know nothing about tech. Since then, the ride hasn’t exactly smoothed out… but I’ve learned when to push forward, and when to pivot.
How ‘Unseen AI’ is Enhancing the Resilience of Critical Infrastructure
When the majority of people think about AI, the first thing that comes to mind is AI chatbots that write poetry and generate artistic masterpieces in the blink of an eye. While these AI applications capture tons of headlines and mindshare, a far more consequential AI revolution is taking place largely out of public view.
A Year Past Launch Date
There’s nothing quite like shoveling boatloads of cash from your retirement savings to build a business unlike anything done before—especially one using disruptive AI technology—when you’re not even a tech guy. Betting your future on an idea you believe in, all while battling imposter syndrome, wondering if someone else is creating something better, and reassuring your wife you’re not crazy, brings a unique kind of pressure.

Fast forward to today, and the landscape has dramatically shifted.
Are We There Yet?
After 23 years building his business, the co-founder of Creative Apparel Concepts decided to step away and start over. Follow along on Jeff Gray’s entrepreneurial journey. Whenever my family went on long road trips, within an hour, the kids would start asking that eternal question: are we there yet? I’m feeling the same way about my startup, RoboArt Labs. Our initial deadline to launch an AI art platform with print-on-demand services was September 1, 2023. It’s now the end of March, 2024.

It is January, 2023 and I am beginning the process of starting over. It is daunting. I am anxious, a little scared and spend many sleepless nights struggling with self-doubt and worrying about the future.
An Apparel Guy Takes on AI
I’m a 58-year-old man, and for the first time in my life, I’m unemployed and scared to death. My story is about the difficult decision to leave a business that I’ve known my entire life. It’s about family, and the challenges of starting over when many people my age are thinking about retirement. I recently separated from my family business that I co-founded with my two brothers over 23 years ago. (I still retain ownership.) I am now embarking on a new journey to find my next work-life chapter.

Now, as SaaS solutions like Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce.com, and Google G Suite gain popularity, most companies assume their SaaS providers take the same responsibility for data in the cloud.
