A weekly build show for business owners
Put AI to work on a real business problem.

The Quote Nobody Answered
Dana sends a $14,000 patio quote and hears nothing. No "no." No "yes." Just a very expensive silence. Dana is made up. The problem is not. Andrew and June build a simple follow-up routine: every quote gets a send date, a short check-in two days later, one more at five days, then you let it go. AI does the boring part: who is due today, and a message in your own voice. You send it yourself.
Listen to Episode 4, read the show notes, and use the free companion playbook.
The companion playbook is ready now.
