“I actually feel like AI is going to level the playing field for smaller firms, more than ever before. That's an incredible thing, I think it's an amazing opportunity in front of us.” -Tommy Vincent The window of change gets shorter every day, and this can leave us feeling pressured to keep up, or frustrated that no sooner have we caught up, than the next innovation is speeding away from us again. While it's true technology is racing ahead on an exponential curve, we don't have to. We don't have to know how to build apps, read code or create the next step in technological development. We just have to get good at finding things that work for us and leveraging them before our competitors do. While you can use AI to replace people, the quality of the work won't be as good. AI, at its best, will help us accelerate our system of checks and business processes to give us back our time. More time away from the mundane leaves more time for the things you love to do.
