Three days with agency owners in Costa Rica. The takeaway: the ones winning right now are moving fast, positioning tight, and being honest about how hard it is. The playbook is changing fast but the people in that room are changing faster.

AI is solving problems faster than ever. Too bad it's still solving the wrong ones. 30 years working with clients taught me: the best solution isn't the best solution unless it w...

Played darts with friends at a trade show this week. No business talk. No AI talk. Just fun. That matters more than we give it credit for. We're human beings, not human doings.

Carl at Bureauverse Southwest: easy mode is over. The shops that win won't have the slickest decks. They'll make clients smarter. Judgment. Truth-telling. Perspective. The stuff AI can't fake. We don't build that alone. Community isn't a soft skill anymore. It's a moat.
People think I'm calm and collected. That’s 97% true. The other 3%? I’m a total lunatic who gets spun up when you call me at 9pm. The difference now? It used to take weeks to reset. Now it takes 3 minutes and a text that starts with “sorry about that…”
Vibe coding is great until you have to ship, secure, and maintain it. AI excels at POCs, prototypes, and pilots. The mistake is treating that as the finish line. Real systems still need qualified people using AI to move faster. Spray and pray never works.
Founders blame their “small list,” but the real problem is every email feels like a sales trap. Give value twice, ask once. That ratio alone can turn a tiny list into a money printer.
We used to treat onboarding like a formality. Then we realized it’s the moment you earn trust or lose it. Now every new client gets a clear path, real progress, and one owner from day one. Structure isn’t boring. It’s what keeps clients around.
Stop turning in AI homework and calling it strategy. A client's CRO agency sent us a 20 page brief that should've been 2. No research. No thinking. Just slop. AI should help you do more better work. Not more sloppy work.
The best holiday ads aren’t about discounts. They’re about momentum. Run evergreen ads now so they build comments, data, and trust before the sale hits. When Black Friday comes, your offer won’t need to prove itself. It’ll already be winning.
A stranger booked a cold call on my calendar. No intro. No context. First thing I asked: tell me what I do. He couldn't answer. AI made it easy to pitch slap at scale. But when your whole strategy is volume, people can feel it.
Everyone’s obsessed with the destination. Milestones. Metrics. Maps. But you don’t need a roadmap. You need an adventure. Set a direction. Start walking. Talk to strangers. Get uncomfortable. The good stuff happens on the way.
AI won’t save your business if your spreadsheets are a dumpster fire. Clean your data, build a simple schema, assign ownership, and audit often. Structure first. Automation second.
April 8, 2026 was one of the most intense bursts of violence seen anywhere in recent history. Dozens of children were killed and hundreds were made homeless. "If we ignore that day, we're not just witnessing it. We're allowing it to happen again, anywhere," says @james-unicef.bsky.social.
Türkiye News - In Zonguldak (Turkey), a two-year-old girl boarded a bus whilst her mother wasn’t looking. The driver set off, and it wasn’t until the girl started crying that he realised he had a ‘passenger’ on board: he turned back and returned the girl to her family.

Something amazing is happening in Astoria, NYC. These suburban clowns tried to bully a whole neighborhood, and sued to stop a vital safety project. Zohran and our DOT just responded by DOUBLING the length of the project. Insanely hilarious.
Cars are a huge liability for neighborhoods. One car breaks down and chaos is unleashed for miles. Insanity.
