After closing our last business, I’m feeling eager to begin a new chapter in Artificial Intelligence (AI)— but how do you move forward with clarity and confidence, without letting past experiences cloud your judgment?
In this video, I open up about the emotional and strategic journey of closing a business and what it really means to reflect deeply: What worked? What didn’t? And how can we build something stronger from the lessons we’ve learned?
If you’ve ever questioned the path you're on or whether your business is aligned with your original mission, this conversation is for you.
Join me as I share our current mindset, what we’re learning in real-time, and how we’re approaching this pivotal moment in our journey.
