Hello
I am corporate/business development person, writer, and sometime entrepreneur based in Northern California with my wonderful wife and two great kids. I have been lucky enough to work at the intersection of art and technology alongside incredible people who reshaped how we do business, communicate, and enjoy art. What I write about here reflects my professional experience and current interests: entrepreneurship, M&A, prompt engineering, endurance training, and the future of work.
As a still aspiring music writer trying to finally make use of my University of Tennessee Bachelor of Communications in Journalism, I also write a lot about music and the industry and technologies that shape our culture. about-mike-tatum
Topics

Writing
- This is a collection of new and random posts I’ve made over the years, either posted on this weblog , or on other sites I’ve written for previously. post
- After many years using Wordpress, I’ve moved over to using Obsidian and Quartz (with a lot of help from Claude code) so that I can publicly build a knowledge base that is machine readable. claude
Current Projects
- Goat Rodeo Club: An AI-powered endurance training platform with Claude coaching, Garmin integration, and SMS notifications. First major vibe coding project to help me train for ultramarathons. vibe
