A Purpose-Driven Community for Transformational AI Leaders

  • Welcome to SustAIning Leadership

    "Leadership Isn't About Power—It's About Stewardship. Are You Ready to Lead the Next Evolution?"

    A Personal Note from James:
    I know first hand what it is to be a leader. Everything we know is shifting right now and I will prepare you for it. Let’s go. AI will  move us fast but we don’t need to fear it

Why this Movement Exists

  • We stand at a critical crossroads in leadership:

    Frustration, lack of trust and exhaustion has reached epidemic proportions.

    AI is transforming work and our brains faster than our systems can adapt.

    Traditional leadership models are failing to meet modern challenges.

    This is more than a book—it's a call to action. Leadership is the problem. 

    "We don't need more bosses. We need guardians of the future."
    — James Nicholas Kinney

  • “James is an authentic disruptor of the status quo. A leader, a great thinker, and an empathetic truth teller that seeks to examine the world in order to make it better for us as friends, colleagues, collaborators and so much more. He is the change we all deserve!”

    Quiana Patterson, Venture Capitalist

  • “I’ve worked with James for years across many different industries and areas. He’s incredibly talented at building rapport with his team, managers, and partners. He’s collaborative, an incredible listener, and a speaker. Always invested and inspiring, James gives 200% to everything he does."

    Karine Shahar, Chief People Officer at Blumhouse Productions.

  • "James is an incredible speaker. He calls upon his impressively broad knowledge base of law, business, advertising, and the human experience to authentically engage with his audience. His style is all his own - engaging, accessible, and filled with compassion. It was an inspiring and eye-opening experience for our team."

    Ameeth Sankaran, CEO of Religion of Sports
