I recently came across a tweet that asked one simple question I couldn't stop thinking about...

What would you do if you had 10x more agency?

What is “Agency”?

Agency is the capacity to act.

Readiness meets ability.

It’s the power to control your destiny and influence the world around you.

Not just being a player in the game but setting the rules.

Not just reacting to events but creating reality.

If you had 10x more agency, what would your life look like?

How would you approach decisions differently? What goals would suddenly feel achievable? What obstacles that once seemed insurmountable would now feel like mere stepping stones?

The Time is Now

We live in a world where it often feels like we have no control over our lives. We wake up, follow routines, respond to external pressures, and adapt to the circumstances around us.

But what if we could flip the script?

Two days after seeing this tweet, I found out that Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn’s founder) just released a new book called Super Agency, all about this exact idea.

Looks like “agency” is about to be the word of 2025.

The Age of AI

We’re living in a time where AI is giving each of us 10x more power to shape the world around us.

From automating tasks that once took hours to generating insights at a scale no human could process alone, AI is fundamentally shifting our relationship with productivity, creativity, and decision-making. The rise of AI-driven tools has already changed how we work, think, and even create.

And in a few years, AGI—super-intelligent AI agents—will be here, working for us. These agents will be able to handle complex problem-solving, make autonomous decisions, and even execute strategies in ways that were once the exclusive domain of highly trained professionals.

If you’ve been playing the game of life with regular tools, it’s like suddenly getting three queens on a chessboard. The game has changed—have you adjusted your strategy?

But Here’s the Kicker…

10x more agency isn’t just some theoretical question.

We already have more agency.

The technology exists. The knowledge is out there. The resources are available. The only thing left is deciding what to do with it.

With Great Power Comes Time Pressure

When superheroes discover they have superpowers, they don’t usually keep spending their lives sitting in traffic and going to work every day, do they?

Yet, so many of us still operate as if nothing has changed. We hesitate. We second-guess ourselves. We wait for permission that no one is going to give us.

So the question I ask myself now is: What am I going to use it for?

What am I willing to bet on? What risks am I willing to take? What bold moves am I finally ready to make?

Suddenly, this tiny question turns into a question about purpose.

The Window is Closing

Here’s the thing: time is not on your side.

The ones who figure this out early will win big.

The advantage won’t last forever. Right now, we’re at an inflection point. A moment when those who recognize the opportunity can leap ahead, while others remain stuck in the status quo.

But in three years? Everyone will have these abilities. And if everyone is 10x more powerful, then no one really is.

This is the nature of progress. It moves in waves, and those who ride the early waves gain the most momentum. But once the wave reaches the shore, it’s just another part of the landscape.

I don’t remember the last time I felt like this. Maybe back when the internet was just starting. Back when having a website was a competitive advantage, before it became an expectation. Back when social media was an opportunity, before it became a requirement.

We are at a historic turning point for humanity.

This kind of stuff excites me. This is where my curiosity and creativity go into overdrive.

But Why Should I Be the Only One Dealing with This Mental Hurricane?

So now I’m passing it to you…

What would you do if you had 10x more agency?

Would you start the business you’ve been dreaming about? Finally write the book that’s been sitting in your mind for years? Change careers? Move cities? Solve a problem no one else is tackling?

Or would you let the moment pass and realize, too late, that you had more power than you ever imagined—if only you had chosen to use it?

The choice is yours. The clock is ticking.

I've made mine.
