  • AI Was Supposed to Save You Time — So Why Are You Busier?

    This week’s episode of Win The Hour, Win The Day Podcast 

     

    I once paid for months of coaching on software I never learned.

    This was back in what I call the dark years of my business. Some project management platform was going to change everything. Once I finally mastered it, the work would take care of itself.

    I gave it three months and a pile of money. I never even learned the thing.

    What I remember is how beat up I felt at the end. All that time, all that money, and I was further behind than the day I started.

    I thought about that this week because a client told me he'd just lost a whole day building AI prompts. Smart guy. Public speaker. Gets things done. He looked up and went, "What happened? I was supposed to do all this other stuff today."

    Here's the part nobody says out loud. AI was supposed to buy you time. Almost everyone I talk to is busier than they have ever been.

    Email was going to save us too, remember? You send one out and three come back.

    The tool was never the problem. It was never the whole answer either. AI just speeds up whatever you already have. And if what you already have is chaos, now you've got fast chaos.

    So the real question isn't "what can this new tool do." It's "what never lands back on my desk again."

    That takes a person who owns the work, using the tool to move quicker. Not you, at 10:30 at night, quietly turning into the one who babysits every shiny new thing.

    Your business is here to support your life. You didn't sign up to run a help desk for the robots.

    Are you running the tools? Or have you quietly become the person who manages all of them? 👀

  • LinkedIn’s Dying—Act Now or Lose Out! With Karen Yankovich

    This week’s episode of Win The Hour, Win The Day Podcast interviews, Karen Yankovich.

    I couldn't leave the store empty-handed.

    I was in Greece this spring...
    and wandered into this tiny shop.

    The woman running it was so warm...
    so genuinely lovely...
    that I found myself walking the aisles going, 
    "I have got to find something I want in here. 
    I am not leaving with nothing. 
    We'll make something up if we have to."

    I didn't need a single thing.
    I just didn't want to walk away from her.

    I told that story to Karen Yankovich this week...
    (she's been teaching LinkedIn and PR for years)...
    and she nodded like, yes, that's the whole game.

    Because that feeling...
    the one where someone is so good to you... 
    that you go hunting for a reason to stay connected...
    is exactly what your LinkedIn is supposed to do.

    And almost nobody uses it that way.

    Most people log in and pitch. 
    They fire the templated "Hi, how's business?"...
    at total strangers and call it networking.

    (Half the ones I get don't even have my name right.)

    Karen's whole point: 
    the people who might buy from you...
    are the category to stop chasing.

    The gold is in the other two.

    The referral partners, the ones with an audience...
    who will put you in front of it. 

    And the press, the people you get to know long...
    before you ever need them, so you are the one they call.

    She built a real relationship from a single business card...
    and a few LinkedIn messages.

    It ended with her in front of 2,000 people. 

    The publisher had never once heard of her.
    I've done this for years and I still forget it.
    You cannot copy-paste your way into that.

    You have to be the store nobody wants to leave.

    Who's the one person you'd go out of your way to work with....
    even though they've never once pitched you? 👀
