Before you buy, step into the opening chapter of Co-Creating the Future. This is where the old way of “do it all yourself” collides with a new way of building: co-creating with systems, stories, and smart tools.

Chapter 1 · The Moment Everything Shifted

Full sample chapter · ~6 minute read

The future didn’t arrive with a keynote and a countdown clock. It slipped in sideways—through tiny updates, quiet releases, and late-night experiments. One day you were typing into a search bar. The next, you were having a conversation with something that answered as if it already knew you.

At first, most people treated it like a party trick. “Write me a poem.” “Summarize this email.” “Make this sound more professional.” But underneath the novelty, something much bigger was happening. We weren’t just using tools anymore. We were starting to co-create with them.

Meet Joe Sleeman

Joe Sleeman is a lifelong entrepreneur, software architect, and strategist who has spent over three decades translating “wouldn’t it be cool if…” into products, platforms, and companies.

Joe has built and advised tech platforms across industries—from creator tools and data systems to enterprise software and fan engagement products. His specialty is turning complex, messy ideas into clear, repeatable systems that real humans can actually use. Co-Creating the Future is the book he wished he had years ago: not a highlight reel, but a practical playbook for building in a world where your intuition and intelligent tools are meant to work together. When he’s not architecting software or mapping out ecosystems for founders, you’ll find him exploring the edges of creativity, technology, and what it means to build a life—and a business—on purpose.
