There’s a version of your business you can already see in your head. It runs smoother. Your team has margin. The little things don’t pile up. Follow-up actually happens. Content gets posted. Emails get answered. Your website stays updated. People don’t burn energy on work that shouldn’
"I am completely mind-blown." Those were the first words out of Coach Jordan Hardgrave's mouth after I walked him through what AI can actually do for a business. Jordan runs a coaching business. He's sharp, driven, and no stranger to hard work. But when
I got this text from a workshop attendee two days after our last class: "It's unreal! Apparently the guy I'm paying $2,200 a month is using it because I had Elvis draft some pages for my website and it was identical to what my
I have a question for you — and I genuinely want to hear back. I spend every day working with AI. Building websites, creating videos, managing social media, running email — all of it powered by tools that didn't exist a year ago. And what we've seen so
We're in the "this seems overblown" phase of something much bigger than COVID. The people building AI aren't making predictions - they're telling us what already happened to their jobs. In this video, I break down a viral Silicon Valley article about
Imagine waking up every day knowing you have JARVIS FROM THE AVENGERS in your pocket! Not ChatGPT. Not some app you tried and forgot. Not making dumb pictures. Not copy-pasting prompts like a parrot. A supercomputer that listens, remembers, thinks, and acts. It checks your email before you wake up.
I have been getting asked about AI a lot lately. How do you use it? Can you show me? I tried ChatGPT but it did not really stick. Here is the thing: most people are using AI wrong. They treat it like a search engine that talks back. But what
There's something about January that makes people open to new things. New year. Clean slate. Maybe this is the year I finally start that business. Find a mentor. Meet the right people. But here's the thing—those connections don't happen by accident. They happen
There's an old way of thinking about business around here. Guard your secrets. Undercut the competition. Fight for every scrap. Every man for himself. But here's the thing—I don't think that's who we are anymore. And honestly, I'm not sure it ever really was.
Quick update on what we've been building with AI lately—two projects I'm pretty excited about. 1. An AI that answers your phone (so you stop missing opportunities) You know those missed calls that slip through? Every single one is a missed opportunity. So I built
Here's something worth sitting with today: the words "I Am" might be the most powerful words in the English language.
3 local restaurants with great food just closed their doors!!! All of them seemed to be doing well, but clearly something wasn't working.
What does employee loyalty look like in your workplace or business? Have you seen examples of local employers who really invest in their teams?
What makes a third place actually work isn't the products or even the atmosphere—it's the people running it.
The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, Instagram—made a deliberate shift. They replaced the "follow" with the "algorithm." What does that mean in practice? It means that even if you follow a local business with 10,000 followers, when they post something, maybe 200 people see it. Maybe fewer.
There's a moment Dr. Alejandra Carvallo mentions in passing that stopped us cold...
You don't stick around for 75 years by accident. When a business outlasts recessions, pandemics, technological revolutions, and the rise and fall of entire car brands, there's something deeper going on than just selling a good product. Cogswell Motors has been part of Russellville's fabric since 194
What separates someone who talks about getting healthy from someone who actually does it? It's not willpower. It's not some perfect meal plan or the right pair of running shoes. According to RJ Van Hook, who's been running River Valley Fit Level for six years now, it comes down to something simpler
Walk into Rhonda Hawkin's office at Arkansas Tech with a dream and $500 in your pocket, and she won't laugh you out of the room. She's seen businesses launch on less. But walk in expecting to hit $10,000 in monthly revenue by month two? That's when she'll gently pull you back to earth.
Here's a question: When was the last time you bit into a tomato that actually tasted like something? Not the waxy, mealy ones from the supermarket that look perfect but taste like cardboard. I mean a real tomato—sun-warmed, sweet, the kind that makes you understand why people used to can hundreds of
