actors panic over AI and cookies: post-holiday talk through the latest AI freakout and finally answer the question everyone DM’d us about (should you be buying your reps gifts this year or nah?)

we cover:

● the new AI update everyone spiraled about and why it’s not worth losing sleep

● real talk about rep relationships and how to know if you should even be gifting

● the gifts reps actually appreciate versus the ones they quietly donate

● why sometimes a handwritten note is more powerful than a pricey basket

● how to make your gift personal even if you barely know your rep

● the rep dinner email we drafted live and why it worked *(cause they already all responded)*
