Last week I shared with you the summary created by Google’s Notebook AI of the 75,000 words I’ve written in this newsletter to date. Without even asking, it grouped them into themes and then laid out a few dozen bullet points that really summarized all the key things a business owner can do to actively…
I admit, I have been skeptical! I was around for the first big dotcom boom when people would say things like “everything is different now” and this is “the economy 2.0” and all the old rules don’t apply. I was also around when a ton of those new businesses imploded and it turned out a…
