The People Who Change Your Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Business Brain, we unpack what happens when a conference forgets who it’s for. Fresh off Podcast Movement’s first run in New York, Dave explains how splitting creators and business folks into separate events left everyone hunting for coffee shops to meet. Before you book the flight, figure out what value an event is built to deliver. Then show up with a plan, define success for yourself and your team, and stay loose enough to catch the moments you can’t schedule. Shannon bring
FridAI - Instinct + $10K AI Update (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Business Brain, Dave hands ten grand to an AI and gets out of its way. The proceeds from his domain sale became a 90-day experiment: Claude designed a static, formulaic trading system — 60% crypto, 40% equities, running through MCP connectors into Kraken and Alpaca — with lightweight weekly check-ins, a heavyweight strategy review at day 45, and a 48-hour rule that lets the system act if he doesn’t respond. Day 69, up 11%. But the number isn’t the win. The win is an operation
Domain Negotaiting and HCIH Follow Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Business Brain, we take you inside both sides of a domain negotiation. Shannon wanted resellerrocket.com, found it sitting on a generic affiliate parking page, and opened at $2,300 against a $4,000 ask — then used AI to land on an oddly specific counter just under $2,700 that got accepted on the spot. Dave plays the other side: an unsolicited inbox offer on a domain he’d been paying registration fees on for twenty-plus years, a Claude-assisted valuation, a $15,000 ask, and a $
FridAI - GrokBot and Simplebench (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Business Brain, we dig into Grokbot, the new agent platform that packages OpenClaw-level power into something you can actually set up in minutes. We walk through a chief-of-staff bot that manages the rest, an auction scout that delivers a report every morning, a research bot that hunts liquidations across X, YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn, and a personalized daily newspaper built from your email, Slack, and calendar. No coding, cloud-hosted, and free with X Premium Plus. We als
Give Yourself 2 Years + VCF Files (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Business Brain, we uncover a dead-simple texting hack most businesses are ignoring: sending a VCF contact card with your very first message so your name and logo land in your customer’s phone instead of a random number. It’s a credibility boost, it sidesteps spam filters, and almost nobody is doing it yet. If you text customers at all, this is your move. Then we revisit the two-year experiment: one year to learn, one year to execute. We break down why Stripe had only fifty cus
