Dear Breck, Tim, and Dr. Bob,

I hope this letter finds you all in great health and high spirits. A lot has happened since we last worked together as part of Well Wave Now. While we faced challenges in the past, I believe we shared a vision for creating meaningful impact. I’d like to explore the possibility of reconnecting (Getting the Band Back Together) and building on that vision together.

Since our time together, I’ve been fortunate to speak at Oxford University, where I lectured to 52 Executive MBA students about artificial intelligence. It was an enlightening experience that also introduced me to a growing concern called “brain rot”—Oxford’s Word of the Year—referring to the cognitive effects of mindless scrolling on platforms like TikTok. This issue has gained significant attention from credible sources like Psychology Today, Forbes, and Fortune.

The good news is that experts believe the solution lies in creating long-form, thought-provoking content to nourish the brain and counteract these effects. This insight aligns perfectly with my work on Brain Recovery AI Networking (BRAI–N.com)—a framework I’ve developed to promote meaningful connections and purposeful engagement in business networking.

I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside some of the world’s top neurologists as a lifelong patient of deep brain stimulation therapy. This has given me a unique perspective on the brain’s potential for recovery and growth through intentional networking and learning.

Here’s what I’d like to propose:

Reuniting with a Shared Purpose
I’d love to invite you to join me in my initiative, Brain Recovery AI Networking, which combines AI-powered strategies with heart-centered connection. This platform focuses on local and global networking, promoting mutual respect and collaboration for solving real-world challenges.

Collaborating on Well Wave Now
I believe our original vision for Well Wave Now still holds incredible potential. Together, we can integrate its principles into this new initiative, amplifying its impact while addressing global issues like hunger, education, and brain health.

Friday Morning Networking Meetings
I host weekly meetings every Friday at 8 AM (Pacific Time), where I collaborate with my new associate, Alkan Balkaya, CEO of MailSoftly. These sessions focus on AI-powered email marketing and other proven strategies for business growth. I’d love for you to join and contribute your unique perspectives.

Additionally, I’ve been developing a series of courses and resources, including AI Love Stories, which emphasize passion, forgiveness, and the human heart as antidotes to the challenges we face in the digital age.

Gentlemen, we are stronger together. Let’s rekindle our partnership and channel our collective strengths into something meaningful and impactful. Whether it’s a casual discussion meeting or simply joining my Friday sessions, I welcome your involvement and insights.

Thank you for considering this invitation. I miss the synergy we had when we were at our best, and I’m hopeful we can create something even greater in this era of artificial intelligence.

Warm regards,
Mike Hayes

P.S.
Oxford University’s 2024 Word of the Year, “brain rot,” highlights the cognitive toll of excessive scrolling and trivial online content. But there’s hope. Experts are optimistic about the rise of a Post-Brain Rot Era—a cultural shift toward in-person connections, thoughtful engagement, and long-form content.

Signs of this shift are already emerging. People are gravitating toward richer, more meaningful interactions, both offline and online. Long-form content, curated storytelling, and AI-powered solutions like Brain Recovery AI Networking (BRAI–N.com) are paving the way forward. Together, we can contribute to this movement, empowering individuals to recover from cognitive stagnation and thrive in this transformative era.
