## Resource

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of one of the busiest stretches I've had in a while, including the AI realization that's changing how I run my company and why I believe every business owner is about to be forced to choose a side. I'll share what it's been like building out my in-person office, training a brand-new team, and committing to a content experiment, all while staying focused halfway through the year. I'm also getting honest about the seasons where there's simply too much to do, what I let fall to the bottom of the list on purpose, and the one thing I protect no matter what. If summer has you wondering how to keep growing without running yourself into the ground, this one's for you.
