This week is big think week. How do humans use AI to enhance ourselves and not replace ourselves? I talk about this in the this weeks SMB Community Podcast too. We are living in a high speed uncertain world and this week Microsoft shared a discovery about batteries, Open AI solved a really difficult math problem, business used AI to plan for supply chain disuption and Microsoft participated in developing an AI policy with teeth for schools. These are all big deals that effect the landscape that we work in and that why we should pay attention and adjust the services we offer accordingly.
While digesting this big thinks and the to-do's for this week, I want you to also think about your quality of life. I've been sailing and traveling as a priority in my life the whole time but yet I run into business owners who say that they can't. If that's you I want you to really pay attention to what B² is doing. The October cohort of their Better Business program will help you control the business so you can have a better life. Take some time off. Enjoy the family. See the world. Huddle in a cabin. What ever adds value to your life.
