“We used to try to win every day. Now we're willing to sacrifice entire months.” What does it mean to optimize ad spend when there's no universal answer? Michael Ting (GM of DTC, JAXXON) joins Connor Rolain (Head of Growth, HexClad) and Connor MacDonald (CMO, Ridge) to challenge one of the most common assumptions in ecommerce email marketing and paid media: that there is a single optimized ad spend. There isn't. The better question is what you're trying to achieve and over what time horizon. Michael walks through how JAXXON uses cost per email signup to make confident budget decisions, spending aggressively into slow seasons and monetizing that list when it matters most. The conversation also covers decision quality frameworks, doubling AB testing velocity, and how daily performance reporting builds operator instinct over time.

In dieser Folge ordnen wir die Entwicklung im digitalen Ökosystem und im E-Commerce ein und sprechen zunächst über die Frage, wie sich Frontier-Modelle wie OpenAI und Anthropic von destillierten Modellen unterscheiden. Wir erklären, dass Destillation bedeutet, ein kleineres, günstigeres Modell mit dem Output eines großen Modells zu trainieren, und diskutieren, warum dies technisch schwer zu verhindern ist. Wir sprechen dann über die wirtschaftliche Seite dieser Modelle und darüber, ob die hohen Bewertungen von OpenAI und Anthropic gerechtfertigt sind. Aus unserer Sicht sind die Bewertungen sehr ambitioniert, weil die Kosten für neue Modelle stark steigen, viele Anwendungsfälle keine AGI erfordern und günstigere Modelle oft ausreichen. Dazu kommt, dass die Zahlungsbereitschaft vieler Nutzer und Unternehmen begrenzt ist. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die Frage, wer am Ende die Wertschöpfung kontrolliert. Wir diskutieren die These, dass große Plattformen wie Google, Apple oder Microsoft langfristig eher als Distributions- und App-Store-Ebene profitieren könnten, während die Modellanbieter unter Druck geraten. Dabei geht es auch um die geringe Zahl zahlender Nutzer und die Bedeutung einer besseren Nutzeroberfläche für KI-Anwendungen. Außerdem sprechen wir über einen kurzfristigen Zugangsstopp zu einem neuen Anthropic-Modell und was das über Abhängigkeiten von US-Technologie zeigt. Wir sehen darin vor allem ein Beispiel dafür, wie schnell Zugänge zu zentralen Tools eingeschränkt werden können, und warum europäische eigene Fähigkeiten wichtiger werden.

Aimé Flemm: Output Owners vs Activators — Two Product Owners Who Defined Aimé's Career Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this episode, Aimé reflects on two Product Owners — one who showed him what greatness looks like, and one who taught him the cost of structural malpractice. The contrast is structural as much as personal. The Great Product Owner: The PO As Activator "Our product owner was really able to persuade the larger group of 60 people and activate them." - Aimé Flemm When Aimé's company moved to LeSS, they collapsed seven Product Owners down to four — and effectively one head PO who had to step up. "All of a sudden had this one product owner who needed to step up his game — to become this leader who's visionary, who has some kind of charisma." The structure forced the role to grow. The new PO had to lead 60 people, not five. And he did it. Not by writing more stories or shoving work harder, but by becoming an activator — visionary, charismatic, able to rally people behind a product direction. Aimé's framing: structure created the conditions for greatness. Reduce PO count, increase scope per PO, and the role has to step into real product leadership. "It doesn't happen too often that you get the opportunity to really have THE product owner in the company, and just the one." Self-reflection Question: Does your structure give your PO room to be a leader — or does it force them to be a story-writer for one team? The Bad Product Owner: The Team-Manager-In-Disguise "What this product owner really did was just managing the team. He had the power to hire and fire, to decide on promotions, pay raises." - Aimé Flemm Aimé's second PO ever was the opposite of an activator. He was a team manager in disguise — with full hire/fire authority and control over promotions and pay raises. He showed up about 15 minutes a week. "Just telling them, 'oh yeah, this is good, you should do this and do this,' and then he was gone for the rest of the week." What followed was textbook decay: an avoidant team, no initiative, refusing workshops and improvement work. "It became a collection of individuals, all on their own island. Just fixing their own work, just to make sure that they looked good." Aimé himself couldn't push back — his own job security ran through the same person. As Vasco named it in the conversation: these aren't product owners — they're output owners. Work-shovers. Proxies. The dynamic kills product value over time, because nobody is steering toward the customer. Self-reflection Question: Is your PO an activator who rallies people behind a vision — or a proxy who shoves work from one inbox to another? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

The core structural shift highlighted in this episode is the commoditization of AI model platforms and concurrent consolidation at the vendor and platform layer, forcing Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to move their value proposition above reselling models to orchestrating, governing, and verifying AI outputs. The discussion references the rising concentration and valuation of platforms such as NinjaOne—a founder-led, profitable RMM platform with a $12.3 billion valuation and 70% year-over-year growth—and Pax8 building business toolkits that draw more operational functions onto their rails. At the same time, major AI developers like OpenAI are entering the channel more directly by launching partner programs aimed at MSPs and consultants. The most consequential development is the confirmed shift from reselling AI models to managing their outputs and risks. Glean surveyed 6,000 digital workers and found that while AI delivers approximately 11 hours of weekly time savings, nearly 6.4 hours are reclaimed by “bot sitting”—the human intervention required to supply context, verify, and correct AI outputs. This hidden labor raises a risk scenario: two-thirds of workers admit to releasing unchecked AI outputs, and Ivanti found that only 42% of IT environments actually have a named owner for each AI agent, despite 85% claiming so—a 43-point gap in accountability. Asana and Deloitte further reinforce the issue, reporting frequent cost overruns and unmanaged autonomous AI deployments among enterprise and SMB environments. Supporting developments underscore this governance and accountability gap. TechCrunch cited that ChatGPT's AI market share has dropped below 50% as the field becomes more interchangeable and less differentiated by underlying model. Vendors such as Anthropic and OpenAI, recognizing model commoditization, are seeking revenue through high-volume partner channels, blurring the lines between vendor and channel competitor. According to Asana, more than 80% of UK IT leaders encountered unplanned AI costs, and over half reported business harm from autonomous AI actions, shifting operational and liability risks squarely onto MSPs and IT service providers. Operationally, these trends compel MSPs to take explicit ownership of the orchestration and governance layer, rather than relying on tool reselling. The transcript advises mapping every AI-driven decision or output that reaches client endpoints and identifying who verifies these outputs before customer exposure. Failing to address these governance blanks does not avoid work but shifts it to unbilled, post-incident cleanup, often with financial, legal, or compliance consequences. Effective MSPs will need to price, document, and regularly review their verification, orchestration, and risk assumption, positioning these as standalone, billable services to manage risk and maintain margin as AI platforms commoditize and vendor dependencies rise. 00:00 Bigger Platforms, Unwatched AI 03:44 The Vendor Walks Into the Channel 05:56 Govern It or Absorb It 08:52 Why Do We Care?

What is the difference between a challenge and an excuse in business? On Episode 252 of Talkin' Shop with ShopSabre, hosts Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters explain why challenges require a response while excuses only require justification — and why that distinction determines whether a manufacturing business grows or stalls. Brandon outlines the concept of business momentum and why it functions like a machine: once it's running, it stays efficient, but once it stops, restarting requires significantly more energy. He argues that momentum in business is built through daily decisions, consistent effort, and stacking small wins — not through one lucky break or a single large deal. ShopSabre CNC, an American manufacturer based in Lakeville, Minnesota, works with shop owners across the country who face this exact challenge, and the ones who succeed are the ones who stay action-focused through the slow periods. The episode addresses what Brandon calls "reasonable excuses" — statements like "the economy is just slow right now" or "we're short-staffed" that sound logical but don't eliminate the responsibility to act. While one shop waits for perfect conditions, another shop adapts its pricing, improves its processes, invests in new CNC equipment, and captures the work that's still out there. Brandon also introduces the idea of "your economy" — the reality that no two businesses experience the same economic conditions, even within the same industry. Leadership during slow periods is a central theme. Brandon explains that teams mirror the energy of their leaders: if leadership responds with frustration and blame, the team mirrors that. If leadership responds with focus and direction, the team follows. He draws a direct comparison between coaching youth hockey — where momentum shifts can be felt on the ice — and running a manufacturing operation where momentum shifts happen on the shop floor. The episode's key takeaway is that momentum is both fragile and powerful. It can be lost faster than it's built, but the businesses that learn to protect it — through small wins, reorganization during slow periods, and an action-over-excuses mindset — are the ones positioned for long-term growth.

Business owners rarely fail because they're short on tools or tactics, they fail because they blend in. In a world where everyone has access to AI, automation, and endless data, the real danger is that your message, brand, and leadership lose their human edge. Output becomes polished but generic. Teams get buried in analytics while intuition, originality, and genuine connection get pushed aside. Today's guest, Nir Bashan, keynote speaker, creativity consultant, and author of The Solution Mindset: Mastering the Art of Problem Solving, has helped brands like Rolex and Porsche turn creativity into measurable profit by treating it as a practical business tool, not something fluffy or optional. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Nir shows us why creativity is now the last true competitive advantage in the age of AI. He explains how AI has become the great equalizer: everyone can generate emails, posts, and scripts at scale, but very few know how to separate the “AI fire hose” of output into what's truly valuable, authentic, and on-brand. Nir reveals how to use AI as a starting point while applying a creativity rubric to refine, reshape, and humanize your content so it sounds like you and actually resonates with your audience. https://youtu.be/juP8aaBUPaI?si=b9yJ3lZXJT0Q3s2T This conversation is packed with insights for entrepreneurs, marketers, and leaders who feel overwhelmed by data, distracted by constant digital noise, or frustrated that their AI-assisted content still falls flat. If you've been wondering how to stand out when everyone else has the same tools, Nir's Solution Mindset will show you how to reclaim creativity as a skill, integrate it with your analytics, and turn everyday problems into opportunities for differentiation and growth. Quotes: “Creativity is an actionable tool that we can use to grow businesses, get into new markets, change product, and change how customers relate to what we offer. The problem is that most people don't use it." "AI is now the great equalizer. Everyone has access to it, so the question becomes: what do we do to get to the next level? That shortage, that gap there, is creativity." "Reality doesn't lie strictly in the numbers; it lies in a balancing of the analytics and the creative. That's what I help people do, connect those two things to optimize their business."

Also in this edition, markets react to a fresh flare-up in violence in the Strait of Hormuz, and SpaceX faces a lawsuit from an environmental group ahead of its blockbuster market debut this Friday.
Dave West sits down with Mik Kersten, author of Project to Product and the upcoming Output to Outcome, to explore why AI amplification is exposing the real bottlenecks in how organizations work. Mik shares data from over 3,600 value streams showing that development teams account for just 8% of end-to-end delivery time which means making those teams faster with AI doesn't move the needle if the constraints are upstream and downstream.The conversation digs into why most organizations are measuring the wrong things (hint: token consumption is not a productivity metric), why overlay agile structures have largely failed, and why the answer isn't fewer teams it's more empowered ones. Mik introduces the core models from his new book: the outcome loop, the outcome tree, and seven organizational shifts that together make up a new operating model designed for the age of AI.Key Takeaways:The bottleneck has moved from software delivery to planning, governance, and innovation and most organizations haven't caught upMaking development teams faster with AI delivers little value if the surrounding system isn't designed around outcomesAgile as an overlay structure doesn't work it has to become the primary operating model and the actual org chartEmpowered, autonomous teams are not optional in an AI-driven world the speed of feedback loops makes half-measures unsustainableLeadership roles need to be redefined and incentive structures realigned to match the way teams are actually workingThe theory of constraints still applies in the age of AI the constraint just keeps moving, and finding it is now the critical management skillLinkshttp://outputtooutcome.org/

You're paying for developer time. But you can't evaluate the work yourself. So you're left wondering — are they actually building, or just going through the motions? Most founders figure this out the hard way. In this episode, we break down the framework that lets you lead technical teams without being technical — and why trying to implement it alone often fails. Key takeaways: The invisible accountability trap: Why hours-driven management doesn't work (and why output-driven does). The Monday morning meeting: The exact structure that keeps developers accountable without micromanaging. Prioritization as a business skill: How to make tradeoffs — understanding that building feature X means NOT building feature Y. Technical oversight: Why having a senior engineer validating your developers' work prevents expensive mistakes — and how we act as that advisor for you. The implementation gap Knowing this framework and actually implementing it with your team are two different things. Without someone technical validating your developers' estimates, you won't know if they're being realistic. Without someone who's done this before, you won't know how to troubleshoot when things go wrong.

If nobody is buying… But almost nobody has seen your offer… You do not have a product problem. You have a volume problem. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the volume play and why massive input is often the missing piece between a struggling business and a full pipeline. Let's be real… You cannot pitch five people… Post once a week… Send a few messages… And then complain that the market is not responding. That is not enough data. That is not enough activity. That is not enough pressure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why obscurity is one of the biggest threats to your business How low output keeps great offers from ever getting traction Why increasing your attempts creates more feedback, momentum, and sales How massive volume removes luck from the equation The truth is simple: The market cannot buy what it does not see. If you want more sales… You need more conversations. More content. More outreach. More attempts. More reps. Most people are not failing because they lack talent. They are failing because their activity level is too low. High-level operators overwhelm the market with volume. They take more swings. They test more angles. They create more opportunities. And eventually, the math starts working in their favor. Turn up the output. Fill the pipeline. Make your work ethic impossible to ignore. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Send us Fan MailWhat if you had a business advisor on call at two in the morning when your tenant sends a threatening email, your insurance company denies a claim, or you need to know your rights before calling your attorney the next day? That advisor exists — and it's AI. In this episode of the Your Landlord Resource Podcast, Kevin and I get real about how we use artificial intelligence in our own rental property business, share the specific moments where it saved us time, money, and a lot of stress, and walk you through exactly how to use it yourself.We cover two real stories that changed how we think about AI as a landlord tool. The first involves a domestic violence situation at our Sacramento 6-plex, where uploading our actual lease to ChatGPT at eleven o'clock at night gave us a detailed, clause-by-clause analysis of our options before we ever called our attorney — who couldn't add a single thing to what AI had already told us. The second involves a landlord in our community who used AI to find buried language in their insurance policy after a tree removal claim was denied, and recovered thousands of dollars as a result. Both stories come down to the same thing: having the right information at the right time changes everything.Beyond the stories, we break down six practical categories where AI is making a real difference for self-managing landlords: document analysis, tenant communication, financial analysis, legal and compliance research, maintenance triage, and staying current on landlord-tenant law. We also walk through the third-story review of Kid 2's Idaho duplex lease — where AI caught confusing utility billing language, missing ESA acknowledgment, vaping and smoke remediation clauses, a plumbing liability gap, and a winter vacancy notification requirement that could have meant frozen pipes.One of my favorite parts of this episode is the prompting segment, because it's where most people get stuck. The quality of what AI gives you is almost entirely determined by what you give it. We teach you the four-element prompt framework — Role, Context, Document, and Output — and share word-for-word example prompts you can use for lease analysis, insurance claim denials, contractor bids, and tenant communications. You'll be able to use these the same day you listen.We also address the one thing that stops a lot of landlords from trusting AI: accuracy. AI can be wrong, and we don't sugarcoat that. We explain what hallucination means, why AI's knowledge has a cutoff date, and — most importantly — how to prompt AI specifically so it flags its own uncertainty instead of filling gaps with confident guesses. We even share the truth protocol we added to our own AI settings to keep answers grounded in verified, citable information. AI is not your attorney, your CPA, or your insurance professional. But used correctly, it will make every conversation you have with those professionals more informed, more efficient, and a lot less expensive.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE• How Kevin and Stacie used AI on a domestic violence lease situation — and what a one-hour session revealed that matched their attorney and the California Apartment Association almost verbatim• How a landlord in their community used AI to recover thousands in a denied insurance tree-removal claim by finding buried policy language• The six practical categories where AI delivers real value for self-managing landlords: document analysis, tenant communication, financial analysis, legal research, maintenance triage, and staying current• How Stacie used Claude AI to evaluate a 34-unit building purchase using her actual financial profile — and what it revealed about her investment position• How AI reviewed Kid 2's Idaho duplex lease and caught seven critical gaps including ESA language, vaping clauses, plumbing liability transfer, utility billing confusion, and a winter vacancy notification requirement• The four-element prompt framework — Role, Context, Document, Output — and why vague questions get vague answers• Word-for-word example prompts you can use right now for lease analysis, insurance denials, contractor bids, and tenant communications• What AI hallucination means and why it matters for landlords asking legal or insurance questions• How to prompt AI to flag its own uncertainty instead of guessing — including four specific accuracy prompts• The truth protocol Stacie added to her AI settings — and how to set it up in ChatGPT and Claude• Why AI is a first-pass tool, not a final authority — and how to use it to show up to attorney and CPA meetings better prepared and more efficient• What to upload (and what never to upload) when using AI with sensitive rental documentsEpisode 20 – The Nuts and Bolts of Residential Rental Property InsuranceEZ Landlord Forms – State-specific lease templates mentioned in the episode – https://www.ezlandlordforms.comChatGPT – https://chat.openai.comClaude AI – https://claude.aiConnect with Us:

Bill Drolet examines how Meta Platforms (META) is setting the corporate blueprint for AI-driven restructuring, replacing middle management with lean, high-execution AI pods — a model with sweeping implications for the insurance and healthcare sectors. With Cisco Systems (CSCO) and others watching closely, the next 12 to 18 months will determine whether these leaner operational models can justify AI's steep costs and satisfy Wall Street's appetite for margin expansion.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, Becky and Jeremy Launder dig into why AI so often spits out generic, off-brand copy, and what they changed to fix it. Jeremy, co-founder of Modern Direct Seller & Oh My Hi and the engineer behind the scenes, explains what's really going on under the hood.

Show note“What if you only had to create one thing per week? Just one.”This time, I walk through the content system I call the content waterfall. The idea is simple: instead of creating separate content for LinkedIn, newsletters, reels, blogs, and your podcast, you start with one strong podcast recording and turn it into everything else.I think this episode is powerful because so many business owners are exhausted by content. They feel like every platform needs a fresh idea. But a podcast episode already contains stories, insights, frameworks, quotes, and clips. You do not need to start from scratch every time. You need a system that pulls more value from the work you have already done.5 Key TakeawaysA podcast episode is the best starting point for content One 25-minute episode can hold stories, ideas, examples, quotes, and practical advice.Stop creating from scratch for every platform The content waterfall helps you turn one recording into many useful pieces of content.One recording can become twelve or more assets From a full episode, you can create clips, quote graphics, a newsletter, a LinkedIn post, and a blog post.Every piece should point back to the full episode Clips, posts, newsletters, and graphics are doorways that lead people to a deeper conversation.The system works, but it takes time If you do it yourself, expect eight to twelve hours per week. You can also outsource the production and focus only on recording.Chapters00:00 – Why content creation feels exhausting03:00 – Why the podcast is the anchor piece07:00 – The content waterfall explained16:00 – The workflow, tools, and schedule21:00 – The honest time commitmentSend us Fan MailEmail me (niall@sevenmillionbikes.com) or contact me on Seven Million Bikes Podcasts Facebook or Instagram to book your free Podcast Audit!Thanks to James Mastroianni from The Wrong Side Of Hollywood for the endorsement!

In this episode, Cory Connors sits down with Sydney Grier, Packaging Lead at Mill, to explore how the company is tackling one of the most overlooked environmental problems: household food waste. Sydney shares her journey from studying environmental management at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to becoming a packaging engineer, and how she ended up joining Mill — then operating in stealth mode as Chewy Labs. Together, Cory and Sydney discuss how Mill's food recycler works, why composting beats landfilling, the innovative all-paper packaging Sydney designed for a 60-pound device, and what the future holds for commercial expansion into places like Whole Foods.Key Topics Discussed:Sydney's path from environmental management to packaging engineering at Cal Poly San Luis ObispoHow Mill originated from a desire to tackle food waste at the household levelWhat Mill does: drying, grinding, and dehydrating food scraps to reduce volume by ~80%Challenges of composting access across the U.S. and how Mill fills the gapMill's commercial expansion: launching nationwide in Whole Foods in 2027 at 10x home capacityDesigning paper-based protective packaging for a 60-pound device — without styrofoamThe value of involving a packaging engineer early in the product design cycleHow Mill's bin is rated to withstand 200 g's of peak acceleration (equivalent to a car hitting a wall at 440 mph)Output options for Mill food grounds: garden spreading, local compost drop-offs, backyard chickens, or Mill's chicken feed send-back programResources Mentioned:Mill — food recycler for the home and commercial kitchensWhole Foods Market — Mill's first commercial partner (launching 2027)Mill's chicken feed program Contact:MillLinkedIn: Sydney Grier Support our Sponsors Learn more here:- 3M- Specright- Forest Connect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

The global energy market has entered a period of stark contrasts: a sudden structural deficit in global crude oil on one side, and a looming wall of associated US natural gas production on the other. As the closure of the Strait of Hormuz takes a massive chunk of global supply offline, the turmoil is forcing a geopolitical risk premium back into crude prices, leaving US natural gas producers bracing for a summer of unexpected headwinds. In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI Senior Vice President of Research & Analysis Patrick Rau discusses the seismic shifts reshaping the energy landscape following first quarter earnings calls. The conversation dives into why a bullish $70/bbl crude market could spell trouble for Henry Hub via a surge in associated gas, and how US LNG is racing to fill the global void left by a squeezed Qatar. Rau also explains why the market might be fundamentally misunderstanding the role of data centers by looking only at power demand while ignoring the massive efficiency gains coming to the supply side.

At what point does believing in someone's potential stop being leadership and start being a liability? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer three listener questions about one of the hardest tensions in leadership: the gap between what you see in your people and what they actually deliver. They walk through how to handle a high-talent, low-output team member, how to recognize when a long-tenured leader has plateaued, and whether the popular idea of "unlimited potential" actually holds up. Believing in your team is valuable, but does it replace standards and results? Here's what you'll learn: Why potential without performance becomes a liability, and how to set objective criteria before emotion drives the decision How to know when a team member has hit their ceiling and what to do about it without losing empathy Why "unlimited potential" is a myth, and what a leader can actually be responsible for You can want it for them all day long. If they don't want it for themselves, nothing you do will matter.

The culture is obsessed with speed, scale, lean teams, massive output, and automation, but faster output does not automatically mean better direction. In part two of this connected conversation, the focus shifts to the missing human layer underneath AI-powered growth and the belief that more content, more automation, and more velocity always lead to better outcomes. Using S³ Growth Streams™ as the operating lens, you will learn how to strategize before accelerating, synergize before scaling, and systemize before sprinting forever. More importantly, you will see how to separate signal from noise, align tools with real human capacity, and build repeatable rhythms that support growth without requiring constant sacrifice. This episode is not anti-AI, anti-hustle, or anti-ambition. It is anti-default sacrifice, anti-permanent sprint, and anti-output without awareness. It also challenges the obsession with flow state by introducing five operating states that support sustainable growth: capture, clarity, commitment, flow, and reflection. Because flow is not the whole game. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is capture the signal, get clarity, commit to the right action, recover, reflect, and return to baseline before sprinting again. The goal is not to become more machine-like. The goal is to become more intentionally human while using machines wisely.
