Be honest… when's the last time you asked yourself if your business would actually be missed?
Here's the uncomfortable truth most entrepreneurs never face: if AI can do "good enough" on demand, then good enough isn't good enough anymore… and the businesses that survive are the ones nobody can imagine living without.
Joe Downs and Peter Swain break down the "mustard versus sandwich shop" framework, originally inspired by Bob Mesta's Jobs to Be Done Theory and applied to the AI era …and show you how to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to find your irreplaceable edge.
Then they go deeper: once you know your mustard, how do you actually commit to it when everyone around you thinks you've lost your mind?
If you're a professional who suspects you've been saying yes to too many things for too long, this one's for you.
