Use AI to Save Sales Time Before You Hire Your First Rep
Many association leaders volunteer because they genuinely care about helping their industry grow. The challenge is simple. Most volunteer leaders already have demanding full-time jobs, leaving little time to create new programs, improve member engagement, and think strategically about growth. In this episode of Grounding AI, Donna Peterson shares practical ways leaders can use artificial intelligence to help industry associations work smarter while building stronger member relationships. You will learn how AI can help organizations: • Review and repurpose existing content • Improve outdated webinars, presentations, and educational materials • Create stronger member surveys • Generate better event ideas based on member interests • Identify new audience segments for membership growth • Build stronger engagement through more personalized experiences The goal is not replacing human relationships. The goal is helping volunteer leaders save time so they can focus on building stronger communities. AI works best when it helps organizations think better, communicate better, and serve people better. If you lead an association, nonprofit, membership organization, or volunteer leadership team, this episode will give you practical ideas you can apply immediately.

Allie Miller is the number one most-followed voice in AI business and an advisor to Fortune 500 companies , and she's on Money Rehab to tell us that most people are leaving serious money on the table by treating AI like a productivity tool. Today, Allie joins Nicole to break down exactly how to use AI as a wealth strategy in 2026 and beyond. Allie pulls back the curtain on her AI workforce (34 agents named after Friends characters) and explains why delegation is now a financial strategy, not just a productivity hack. She and Nicole dig into the most important question everyone has right now: what's safe to share with AI, and what isn't? From feeding Claude your insurance policy after a disaster, to connecting AI directly to your investment accounts, Allie lays out how to think about risk and leverage when it comes to your financial data. They also tackle the hard questions about kids and AI: AI companionship dangers, AI toys, age limits, whether college is even coming back, and why "AI scams are the new white vans." Finally, Allie shares her honest, unfiltered take on investing in AI companies, why she's long-term bullish, and the bold predictions people are calling her crazy for making today.

Megan chats with Shruthi about using AI beyond basic prompting, building smarter workflows, and protecting your unique voice as a food creator. Founder of Urban Farmie (vegetarian-global niche, 2M visits a year, AP syndicated). I spent 12 years at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and left as a Partner in February to run the food business full-time. Stanford MS-MBA, former engineer, TED speaker on food systems. I also just launched Mise en Claude, a Substack on how working food bloggers can use Claude as part of their operating system. Summary & Takeaways Most food bloggers use AI as a simple writing tool. Shruthi explains why the biggest gains come from treating AI as a strategic business partner instead. This episode explores project-based AI systems, prompt maintenance, voice development, and practical ways to use AI without sacrificing originality or expertise. Key Topics Discussed: - Organize AI projects by purpose to prevent instruction overload. - Review and clean AI project instructions every month. - Use AI for repeatable tasks, not strategic business decisions. - Define your voice before teaching AI to replicate it. - Build systems that protect lived experience and expertise. - Focus on one major business initiative each quarter.

These engagement failures, and how to fix them, map directly onto the Octalysis Core Drives. Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Rob breaks down why Amazon shut down KiroRank, the internal leaderboard that scored staff on raw AI usage on its Kiro developer platform. He shows how stacking Core Drive 2 (Development & Accomplishment) and Core Drive 5 (Social Influence & Relatedness) produced flawless compliance toward the wrong target, a textbook case of Goodhart's law: once a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure. Drawing on the Octalysis Strategy Dashboard and Toyota's Five Whys, he lays out the one question to ask before you measure anything. Listeners learn to measure outcomes instead of activity, and how to keep a proxy metric from quietly getting gamed. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways Amazon shut down KiroRank, its internal leaderboard scoring staff on AI usage on the Kiro developer platform, after employees set autonomous AI agents on needless tasks just to climb the ranks and inflated the company's compute costs. Goodhart's law explains the failure: when a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure. You get what you measure, not what you want, so raw AI usage climbed while productivity went unmeasured. KiroRank stacked Core Drive 2 (Development & Accomplishment) through a progress bar and ranking, and Core Drive 5 (Social Influence & Relatedness) through public status, producing flawless compliance toward the wrong outcome. The more powerful and expensive the tool being measured, the more a gamed metric costs you, which is why Amazon paid in real compute money rather than a rounding error. The Octalysis Strategy Dashboard starts with business metrics by asking what outcome you actually want, using Toyota's Five Whys to move from "increase AI usage" to a result worth hitting, like productivity per employee. Engagement is the value created for users and the business, not click counts or usage volume, which is why most dashboards measure activity when they should measure the outcome.

Pope Leo XIV first encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” has changed the conversation around artificial intelligence and today we begin to discuss some of its practical implication. Get Your Hardcover Copy of “Magnifica Humanitas” Here: https://ignatius.com/magnifica-humanitas-magnificent-humanity-mhh/ Mariele Courtois is a college professor at Benedictine college and part of the Vatican Dicastery for Culture and Education's AI Research Group. And in today's podcast, she joins Ben Eriksen to begin unpacking Pope Leo XIV's encyclical in light of the practical circumstances facing individuals today. They begin by highlighting a few themes from “Magnifica Humanitas” that have they find most relevant and insightful. Then they unpack some of these principles by discussing if and how AI should be used in our everyday lives. Is it wise to have AI draft emails, conduct research, or produce art? What considerations should we weigh when making these decisions? While more conversations like this are needed, the two hope that this discussion can continue to inform the viewers as we all seek to navigate the changing landscape of the modern century.

Surviving crisis - from a Beirut hostage ordeal to losing every client overnight. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos. Get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/founded. Application times may vary. Rates may vary. Dave Mason has survived two crises most people never face: being held hostage for 45 minutes in Beirut and every client cancelling in a single afternoon. Now he helps companies survive theirs. ⚠️ Note: this episode contains a first-hand account of violence and trauma (a hostage situation and PTSD). Listener discretion advised. In 2006, Dave Mason was reporting on displaced families in Beirut when his car was surrounded by a mob. For 45 minutes, he and his colleague held on in the back of that car, fighting for their lives, punched, robbed, and threatened- before, of all groups, Hezbollah ended up getting them to safety, and he was taken to meet the Prime Minister of Lebanon. This is not the only crisis Dave has survived. From a media-obsessed teenager - fired up by a single teacher's offhand comment - Dave built a 30-year career spanning local radio (he founded the much-loved Orchard FM), GMTV breakfast TV and NATO media training. Then he backed himself, financing a management buyout against his own pension to buy the agency he worked for. Three months later, COVID hit and every single client cancelled in one afternoon. This is how he rebuilt in 48 hours, turned crisis into a four-day-week business, and spun out Splutter - a real-time social media crisis simulator now used in one of the world's largest financial-sector crisis exercises (1,000+ participants, Hong Kong). Along the way: honest financial advice for freelancers, why local media still matters, what AI really means for PR, and why your health is worth more than the money. If you're a founder weighing up a risky bet, a management buyout, or how to survive when the market disappears overnight, this one's for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Resilience is adaptability. Dave didn't survive COVID by waiting it out, he rebuilt in 48 hours and pivoted his media training into a digital-first product. When the market vanishes, the move is to reshape what you offer, fast. 2. Use AI to amplify people, not replace them 3. Your health is the real wealth. Dave's line "if you've got your health, you are a millionaire" lands hard. Money is the trade-off freelancers make; protecting your wellbeing is what makes the success sustainable. WHAT WE COVER - Beirut, 2006: 45 minutes that became a near-death experience - and the PTSD treatment that followed - The teacher's comment that lit the fire, and breaking into media with cold letters as a 15-year-old (75 rejection letters kept to this day) - Founding Orchard FM - why local radio mattered, and what we lost when the corporates took over - The freelance reality: "no show, no dough", saving for sickness, and the holiday that costs double - Financing a management buyout against your pension - and what the regulators put him through - The COVID afternoon every client vanished - and the 48-hour pivot that saved the business - Building Splutter: simulating thousands of hostile avatars to stress-test real organisations - What AI really means for PR, focus vs adaptability, and why careers only make sense looking backwards

I'm not saying AI is superintelligent or can decide better than you can. I'm saying that if you - like me - spend an hour or so doing research before voting on local seats, AI can aid that research very effectively. And if you don't do that research - because you weren't willing to waste an hour on it before - AI makes it so much faster that you might want to start. I gave Claude a prompt something like (edited for coherence): I'll be voting in the June 2026 California primary. I'm a centrist liberal abundance YIMBY whose favorite political writers are Kelsey Piper, Matt Yglesias, and Ezra Klein. I'm wary of government overreach, but I'm not a doctrinaire libertarian and want to help people when we can figure ways to do it that work. I'm going to ask you about each race on my ballot, and I'd like for you to list the various candidates' bios, policies, endorsements, your read on the most important differences between them, and your advice for me as I try to make my choice. …and got back answers like the following: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/use-ai-this-election
AI couldn't cure his mother's stage 4 cancer. It caught three near-fatal errors, found a same-day appointment, and helped her leave on her own terms. When Pratik Desai's mother was diagnosed with stage four duodenal adenocarcinoma — a rare cancer with roughly 3,000 US cases a year — she was nearly discharged without an oncology appointment. Over the next 76 days, Desai used AI at her bedside, from 5am to 10pm, to understand each report, prepare for every appointment, and push a stretched health system to move at the pace her diagnosis demanded. This is a frank account of where AI helped, where it didn't, and the line he refuses to cross. This is a 1:1 interview in The Agentic Patient — a Faces of Digital Health series on how patients and caregivers actually use AI: which tools, which prompts, and which guardrails.

You ask AI what’s the best brand of supplement, how to handle a tricky conversation, or whether to take the job. But what about your own inner wisdom? When was the last time you paused and asked yourself first? I’m not picking on AI or telling you not to use it. However, it’s important to tune into your inner wisdom, so it doesn’t slip into the background from lack of use. It’s like use it or lose it baby. Why We’re Outsourcing More Decisions Than Ever People have always looked outside themselves for guidance to experts, religious leaders, therapists, coaches, and even psychics, and astrologers. That’s nothing new. But AI has changed the speed of that outsourcing dramatically. Author, entrepreneur, and podcast host Tim Ferriss recently shared a transparent peak into his business. His book sales dropped over 40% in 2025 and a jaw-dropping 50% again so far in 2026. His explanation? People are skipping how-to books and long- form YouTube videos in favor of instant AI answers. This isn’t just a publishing problem. It’s a signal. We are increasingly moving away from anything that takes time. For decades we’ve had drive-through coffee, apps for finding love, and now there’s telehealth calls. But what are we missing when we skip just sitting with something and taking our time with it? Are we handing over big life decisions to something that compiles other people’s experiences rather than relying on your own? The Hidden Cost of Decision Fatigue Research suggests the average adult makes 35,000 decisions every single day. Just ordering a coffee involves cup size, hot or cold, caffeine, sweetener, milk type, and flavorings. No wonder we’re exhausted! Decision fatigue is real, and that overload pushes many of us to skip the natural process of seeking inner guidance, especially for big issues. When you’re depleted, it makes sense to look for something to ease the burden. AI is right there, fast and seemingly limitless. But that speed has a cost in terms of trusting yourself and your own inner knowing. Information and Inner Wisdom Are Not the Same This is the heart of the matter. Information is fast, external, and tells you what other people know. AI gather this information and can deliver it in seconds. On the other hand, inner wisdom is personal, earned through your lived experience, and requires time, awareness, and reflection to emerge. That is something AI will NEVER provide. For thousands of years, wisdom required effort. People took on apprenticeships, learned religious or spiritual practices, spent time in self-reflection, experienced trial and error and these paths often took years. But today, information arrives instantly. The question is are you trading the slow accumulation of wisdom for the quick hit of information? And what might you have lost as a result? 4 Things AI Cannot Do For You AI is a genuinely powerful tool for brainstorming, research, and saving time. But there are things it simply cannot tell you: Which opportunity feels right for your life Whether a relationship is for your highest good What your soul is nudging you toward What you truly want in your heart of hearts The danger isn’t that AI will replace your intuition. The danger is that you’ll skip it even after gathering information to make your final decision. This will eventually erode trust in yourself over time. A Personal Story About Self-Trust At the end of my corporate career, I took a layoff package instead of taking a position in another division of General Foods. That place was draining me of my life force. In fact, I had a recurring dream that ended one night with coming home from a business trip to find my apartment emptied out. The only thing remaining was a burned-out neon clock that had stopped working. This same clock was in my real life office. Finally, I understood I was burned out, time was up, and so I walked away. Leaving with a seven-month package, I had no plan except talking to vendors, peers, and marketing executives. I had my astrology chart done and read What Color Is Your Parachute? which was a popular self-help book on finding work you love. None of it told me what would come next. Looking back, what I find interesting is that I didn’t discover my next chapter because I found the answer. My future unfolded because I gave it room to emerge. Within six months, former colleagues started calling asking for freelance help. That became a twelve-year career freelancing for big marketing agencies with brands like AT&T, Chase Bank, and Jack Daniels. The work was on my own terms, often just four days a week. My father joked with his friends that I was semi-retired because of that schedule. That’s the difference between information and wisdom. Information shows us possibilities. Wisdom helps you recognize which possibility is right for you. And the more you connect with your intuition, the more you trust yourself because of it. Midlife Wisdom Is Powerful By midlife, you have decades of experience. You’ve survived heartbreaks, celebrated successes, made mistakes, and recognized patterns. You’ve honed your intuition through living, day by day and have built trust in yourself. Yet, most women seriously underestimate how important and valuable that truly is. I worked with a 61-year-old client who had been job hunting for a year. Convinced that ageism was closing every door, her beliefs were crowding out the value of her own qualifications and experience. After the first session working on shifting those beliefs, she recognized how much she’d been doubting herself. She chose to stop focusing on what others thought of her and rely on her own earned wisdom. Seven days later she had three interviews. Within two months she landed exactly the job she wanted. It wasn’t her circumstances that changed, but her relationship to her own inner wisdom. How to Use Both AI and Your Inner Wisdom You don’t have to choose between AI and intuition. Use them based on what each one does best: Use AI to gather information Use your mind to analyze the possibilities Use your heart to understand what things mean Use your intuition for personalized guidance of the highest nature Over the next few weeks, when something comes up, consider turning inward first. You may already know your next step. But even if you tune in after you gather information, that slowing down will help you know what is for your highest good. Key Takeaways AI provides information; only you can access your inner wisdom Decision fatigue makes it tempting to outsource even deeply personal decisions Your accumulated life experience is a resource no tool can replicate Slowing down creates the space for wisdom to emerge Trusting yourself is a practice that builds over time Frequently Asked Questions – Inner Wisdom Vs. AI What is inner wisdom and how is it different from information? Inner wisdom is the personal knowing that comes from lived experience, reflection, and self-awareness. Information is external knowledge that can be quickly retrieved from sources like AI. Wisdom is earned; information is accessed. Can AI help with personal decisions? AI can help you research options, brainstorm possibilities, and organize your thinking. But it cannot tell you what feels right for your specific life, values, or soul path. That discernment comes from within. How do I access my inner wisdom? Start by slowing down. Ask yourself: What do I already know? What feels true to me? What would I do if no one else’s opinion were available? Write down what comes up. Many people find insights arrive in quiet moments — in the shower, on a walk, or during meditation. Why do women in midlife struggle to trust their own inner wisdom? Many spiritually aware women in midlife believe they need one more course, certification, or expert opinion before they can trust themselves. In reality, decades of lived experience have already built a deep well of wisdom — it simply needs to be accessed and trusted. What is the risk of relying too heavily on AI? The risk isn’t that AI will replace your intuition. The risk is that the habit of seeking instant external answers means you stop pausing long enough to hear your own inner guidance at all.

In this episode, I sit down with Kasey Jorgenson, broker and owner of Jorgenson Group Real Estate, to discuss how agents and brokerages can use AI to streamline operations, improve follow-up, and create more time for meaningful client relationships. Kasey shares how his team is leveraging AI-powered workflows, automated task management, and custom-built assistants to reduce administrative burden and help agents focus on high-value activities. From using AI to prioritize daily tasks and review communications to building an internal AI assistant that helps identify opportunities and improve lead engagement, he provides practical examples that agents can implement today. The conversation also explores how AI is changing the role of CRMs, why connectors and integrations are becoming increasingly important, and how even non-technical agents and brokers can begin building custom solutions to solve real business challenges. Kasey explains why AI should be viewed as a tool to enhance productivity and client service, not replace the human relationships that drive long-term success in real estate.

Put simply, most drugs work by binding to a protein and altering how they function. But how can we model how well a particular molecule will bind to a particular protein, and use that knowledge to help discover new treatments? In this episode, we talk to Prof Fergus Imrie from Oxford's Department of Statistics, who is one of the lead researchers on the OpenBind consortium. This project aims to create the world's largest open-access dataset of protein-ligand interactions, providing invaluable quantities of data for AI-driven drug discovery
Hey Heal Squad! Today's episode is for every single one of you who has ever called the doctor because something felt off…whether it was a new symptom, a nagging health concern, or you just needed answers…only to be told the next available appointment is weeks, or even months away. We've all been there, and it's beyond frustrating.That's why we're sitting down with Dr. Nasim Afsar, board-certified physician, former Chief Health Officer at Oracle, and author of the brand-new book Intelligent Health. In this conversation, she shares a statistic that completely stopped us in our tracks: only about 20% of your health is determined by what happens inside the doctor's office. The other 80% comes from your sleep, stress, food, environment, habits, and the everyday choices you make without even realizing it.Dr. Nasim explains what it really means to become the CEO of your own health, why the healthcare system isn't set up to see the full picture of who you are, and how AI could help us connect the dots in ways we've never been able to before.This episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about healthcare, and leave you feeling empowered to take a much bigger role in your own health journey. Like Maria always says, we truly have to be the CEO of our own health! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You are the CEO of your health—don't hand over decisions you should be making yourself: Too many people assume the doctor, the hospital,or even AI will connect all the dots for them. But nobody knows your body and your history better than you do. Only 20% of your health happens at the doctor. The other 80% is in your hands: The biggest drivers of your health are often the things happening every day: your sleep, stress, food, movement, environment, relationships, and habits. Use AI to ask better questions—but never let it replace your judgment:Let AI help you become more informed, but remember: technology should support your decisions, not make them for you.

What if the reason you're burned out isn't delegation—but the fact that you're managing other people's approval instead of leading?You don't struggle with delegation, you struggle with giving clear feedback to the people whose approval you think you need. In this Thursday quick-hit, Dawn breaks down why senior hires trigger softened communication, midnight rewrites, and CEO exhaustion and how learning to hold someone else's disappointment is the real leadership skill that removes bottlenecks. If you're rewriting work at 11 PM to “be nice,” this episode will hit uncomfortably close to home (in the best way).Ready to stop managing approval and start leading with clarity? Join the free AI for Founders Community a room full of founders learning to delegate, give feedback, and lead without the approval economy running their business.Key TakeawaysYou're not bad at feedback, you're inconsistent. You give crystal-clear direction to people whose approval you don't need…and hedge endlessly with the ones you're afraid to disappoint.You're running two delegation systems. One clear. One softened. That split is what's exhausting you, not your team.Approval is expensive. Rewriting emails, taking work back, and fixing things at midnight is an invisible approval tax on your CEO time.This isn't about their feelings it's about your story. You're not managing their disappointment. You're managing the fear of what their disappointment might “prove” about you.AI can expose your approval patterns fast. When emotions muddy leadership language, AI can objectively show you where you hedge, soften, and self-protect.Before you give feedback, ask yourself: “Am I softening this because they can't handle clarity or because I'm afraid of losing their approval?”If it's the second one, that's not kindness. That's self-protection.Leadership requires learning how to hold someone else's disappointment without making it your emergency.Use AI as your approval detector:Prompt:“Analyze my feedback patterns. Below are three emails to junior team members and three to senior team members. Identify where my language shifts from direct to hedging, where I manage reactions instead of stating expectations, and rewrite the senior feedback with the same clarity used for juniors.”You'll see the pattern immediately and once you see it, you can't unsee it.Resources & LinksJoin the Community: AI for Founders Free GroupFreebie: The Feedback FixRelated Episodes:Ep. 125 | The 3-Text Test: How Female Founders Use AI to Stop Their Team From Treating Them Like Google— communication clarity + boundaries.Ep. 124 | How Smart CEOs Build SOPs Without Boring Themselves (or Their Teams)— systems that reduce unnecessary manager workload.

AI is changing the world faster than ever—but should Christians embrace it, avoid it, or approach it differently? You Asked For It, so Ryan Cathers explores the opportunities, dangers, and spiritual implications of artificial intelligence. We'll talk about dependence on God versus dependence on technology, the rise of AI relationships, and why discernment is more important than ever in a rapidly changing world. The question isn't simply, "Should Christians use AI?" it's, "How can we use it in a way that honors God?"
Are you like the majority of agents who know they should delegate and automate? You try to hire an assistant or implement a new AI tool, only to have it fail miserably. In the end, you spend more time fixing the mess than if you had just done it yourself in the first place. The strategy wasn't the problem. The missing piece was.In this conversation, we get into standard operating procedures and why they're the prerequisite to almost everything you're trying to add to your business right now. We unpack why most agents have procedures locked in their head but never on paper, the restaurant dishwasher analogy Garrett uses to break a business into the small chunks you can actually systematize, the "definition of done" that turns a vague task into a finished one, the BMW brake job that paid Garrett the equivalent of $1,400 an hour because he had the experience and the process, Dan Martell's Buy Back Your Time and why we keep coming back to it, the trap of handing a brand new hire the job of writing their own SOP, and the SOP Builder we put together at tentenths.co/sop-builder to walk you through your first one.You already have the experience. The work is just getting it out of your head and onto paper, one process at a time. It comes down to picking one routine task you did today, sitting down with the SOP Builder, and letting it ask you the questions that unlock the procedure. Done right, your business becomes something you can hand off, automate against, and trust. And that's when hiring works, AI works, and burnout finally starts going the other direction.Process plus experience equals freedom.Join us in the 11 Circle for weekly coaching, additional resources, and full access to our online community.

Quick SummaryMatt Diamante — founder of the Hey Tony Agency — joins host Kelsey for a candid conversation about his winding path from process server to band member to SEO expert. Matt breaks down the foundational steps any small business owner can take to rank on Google, explains how AI search is changing content strategy, and shares the simple daily habit that transformed his referral-only agency into a content-driven machine.In This EpisodeHow Matt accidentally fell into marketing while trying to promote his bandThe unusual jobs (process server, film crew) that shaped how he runs his agencyGrowing an alternative lifestyle blog from zero to 4 million monthly visitors — and what it taught him about hooksThe origin story behind the name "Hey Tony"The three SEO fundamentals every small business needs: Google Business Profile, a multi-page website, and topical authorityWhy most SEO vendors are scamming small businesses — and how to protect yourselfThe AI prompt Matt uses to write unique, expert-driven blog posts in one hourHow SEO is evolving in the age of ChatGPT and AI search enginesWhat two books pushed Matt to post on social media every single day in 2023Why he doesn't batch content — and why he thinks you shouldn't eitherKey TakeawaysEvery page on your website is a door. Service-based businesses should have a dedicated page for every service they offer. If Google doesn't see it, it doesn't know you offer it.Use AI to extract your expertise, not replace it. Instead of asking ChatGPT to "write a blog post," prompt it to interview you with 10 questions and answer in voice mode. The result is genuinely unique content that reflects your experience.Get to the point faster. In the age of AI search, content that buries the answer under a long preamble will lose. Lead with the answer, then go deeper.Reviews require a system, not willpower. Build a consistent ask into every completed transaction. You can incentivize leaving a review — just not a five-star one specifically.Consistency beats perfection. Matt went from 4 hours per video to 5–10 minutes by posting every single day. The skill builds. The ideas flow. Just start.Memorable Quotes"I believe the world is built on small businesses. If I can help good people grow through SEO, they can hire more staff, create jobs, send their kids to college. If I want to make the world a better place, I can do that one small business at a time." — Matt Diamante"SEO is just solving somebody's problem. How do I fix this myself? That's a blog post. How do I hire someone? That's a service page." — Matt Diamante"That's basically how you run a business.
