Play where the puck is going ;-)

I’m curious a) how you’ve been using AI to grow your business, if at all and b) would you be interested in sharing your success on a podcast I’m building to help empower more trades / brick and mortar businesses to lean into AI.
Send me a DM if you’re interested or want to hear more. 🙏
