The harder, better version is Craft & Care:
- Craft is the work, the precision, the discipline of knowing your market and building solutions that actually fit.

Tech is sprinting. Humans are limping.
Heard Rainn Wilson at INDUSTRY and it hit me: our job is not to ship faster, it is to care better.

A tiny restaurant with big heart beats any fancy place with poor service. Agencies should do the same.

Tasks are getting automated. Trust never will. If you want to stay relevant, stop worrying about AI replacing you. Worry about whether you've built enough trust that people would actually miss you if you were gone.

Care is the moat. AI is just the tool.

This isn't about chasing trends. It's about future-proofing what you build so it doesn't collapse under its own weight when you try to scale.

Stop duct-taping legacy and calling it innovation.

Build it right. Then plug in the AI.

Why does personalization sometimes feel so... creepy?

How does soulful purpose connect to your business impact?

Ever wondered why we exist beyond just profit? It's about more than a mission statement. It's about *impact*. In our work, we talk about soulful purpose—what truly gives meaning to our lives and, by extension, our organizations.

Why AI can't replace human intuition in sales.

Here's the deal:

AI is incredible. It processes data faster than any human. It sifts through massive amounts of information to find leads. It scores them, telling us who might be worth pursuing. Sounds perfect, right? 🤖

Want to speed up? Start by slowing down.

In the whirlwind of business, it's tempting to rush. We want quick fixes and instant results. But have you ever noticed? Haste often leads to mistakes.

Are you overcomplicating your service productization?

Many product agency owners are.

They think turning services into products means rebuilding everything from scratch.

80% of successful productized services started with something that already worked well.

For too long, we've misunderstood development team success.
December 4, 2024 at 12:45 PM
The problem with productized services is they kill creativity.

And we're pushed to deliver more cookie-cutter solutions too.

I see a bunch of agencies out there turning everything into rigid packages.

That's great, but are they delivering real value?
