## Two separate things, often confused

- **Muzamil Hasan** (muzamilhasan.com) is the person and the personal brand:
  thought leadership on AI and digital media, the podcasts, the essays, and two
  products he runs himself (the Inner Circle Community and one-to-one Mentorship).
- **BuildMyArc** (buildmyarc.com) is a **separate business**, not a sub-brand of
  the person. It sells AI automation for small businesses, the ArcOS system, and
  executive consulting for operators who want to build their own systems. It has
  its own site and its own brand.

There is no umbrella brand joining them. An older brand called "arc." was retired
in August 2026; any page, profile, or third-party summary still describing "arc."
as Muzamil Hasan's product world is out of date.
