14 Guides, One Mission, and a New Foundation
Reflecting on a year of resilience and announcing a strategic shift to my core competency: Tech and AI.
It’s been a whirlwind year at Pathfinder Chronicles.
Since I first published Prepping for Liberals, this community has grown in ways I never expected. Looking back at the dashboard, I realized I’ve released 14 different guides this year alone—ranging from deep-dives on resilience to our latest release, New Foundation.
But as we move toward 2026, I’m making a shift to focus on my core competency: Technology and Artificial Intelligence.
For the last 25 years, I’ve navigated high-stakes tech environments. I’ve realized that the greatest “preparedness” challenge of our generation isn’t just physical—it’s digital and cognitive. We are entering an era where our ability to make high-quality decisions in an AI-driven world will determine our safety, our income, and our impact.
What this means for you:
The Family AI Safety Toolkit: On December 30th, I’ll be opening presales for a project I’m incredibly passionate about. It’s designed to help families navigate the security and ethical complexities of the AI revolution without needing a computer science degree.
The AI Decision Advantage: My focus is shifting toward helping leaders and organizations treat AI as a “Decision Architecture” rather than just a tool.
Consolidation: You’ll see me bringing these worlds together. My ADHD might prefer 50 different projects, but my mission requires focus. I’m doubling down on where I can provide the most value to you: at the intersection of Tech, AI, and Human Judgment.
Thank you for being part of the 14-guide journey this year. I can’t wait to show you what I’m building next.
Stay resilient Pathfinder,
Robert W. Dempsey
