Welcome to the Shift - Before We Begin

What to expect, why now, and why this is more than just a newsletter.

Hey! I’m so glad you’re here.

For the last 15 years, I’ve advised founders, executives, and high-performing teams on how to grow faster, smarter, and with less friction. But what I’ve seen again and again is this:

What they want most isn’t more money.
It’s more time.
More space.
More presence.
The money is just a tool to buy it.

And I get it, because that’s what I’ve been building too.

It took me two years of monthly nudges to the man who would become my boss, to land my first remote role in corporate. A freedom move.

I moved my family to Portugal for a different rhythm of life. A freedom move.

I built systems for everything from training my body to how I get dressed in the morning to how I create content, not just for optimization, but for freedom.

We homeschool our kids not because it’s easy, but because it gives us something more valuable than convenience: agency over our lives.

All of it came down to one thing:
Freedom through systems.

And that’s what The Saturday Shift is about.

One email.
One shift.
Every Saturday.

These won’t be “productivity hacks.” They won’t be borrowed theories from people who don’t live it. They’ll be 1% shifts, the kind that feel small at first but create massive leverage over time.

Some will be powered by AI, some will be mental reframes to help you adapt and move swiftly.

Because in the age of AI, a 1% shift isn’t small anymore.
It can be the difference between heavy and light. Between reactive and intentional.
Between more noise… and more you.

It lands in your inbox every Saturday.

The Saturday Shift is based on everything I’ve learned as a martial artist, strategist, and someone obsessed with designing a life that feels good to live inside.

You’ll see what I mean.

See you Saturday,

Khaïry

PS: If you know a founder who’s carrying too much, forward this to them. The Saturday Shift is for those of us designing lives that run smoother, with more clarity and more space to breathe. One shift at a time.
