Great thinking by my Partner, Gigi, about how AI lets founders do 1,000 experiments at once, and how this is a new way of thinking that will give those who adopt it a serious edge. The old way will look antiquated in a few months. @GigiLevy https://t.co/CMCx5cGsjj

AI Marketing agents change sales by changing how the top of the funnel works. Top of funnel behavior changes closing behavior because it changes the "Why" of the conversation. Most people don't see this. Warmly, does.

At the early stages, you win with speed. But to become a category leader, you have to endure. That takes layers of protection built deliberately as you scale. @peteflint on how to build AI moats that last: https://t.co/O9TWywwu3L

6. Do it for someone else If you can't do it for yourself, do it for your employees, your users, your family. They are depending on you. You owe it to them. Don’t hurt them with your procrastination or unwillingness to decide and focus.

5. Drop your self-sabotage Many high-performing people have a big dose of self-sabotage. Notice where you let yourself down and where you screw up. Stop doing that.
