🧠 Business Brain Newsletter Issue #144


The Business Brain Weekly Round Up

Hello, Reader!

This week, we’re looking at how better questions can lead to better businesses. In Episode 792, we explore building in reverse by talking with the people you want to serve before creating the product, service, or community.

Then, in Episode 793, we turn to AI and a powerful prompt: “What am I missing?” We also discuss putting AI to work as an employee that can follow up on opportunities and bring the most promising ones back to you.

Building In Reverse

Business Brain 792

Build in Reverse

Before creating a product, service, or community, talk to the people you want to serve. Ask what they need, how they want it delivered, and what they are willing to pay. Set your ego aside and let real customer insight shape the offer before you invest time and money building it.

What Am I Missing?

Business Brain 793

Ask What You’re Missing, Then Put AI to Work

AI can reinforce your assumptions unless you challenge it to uncover blind spots.

Ask, “What am I missing?” to surface overlooked risks and opportunities, then take the next step by giving an AI agent a name, an inbox, and responsibility for following up on possibilities that would otherwise be ignored.

Instinct AI, your personal assistant


Both episodes offer the same essential lesson: you do not need to have all the answers yourself.

Your customers can help shape what you build, and AI can expose blind spots while handling work that might otherwise be neglected.

This week, challenge yourself to ask one potential customer what they truly need, then ask your favorite AI tool, “What am I missing?”

Listen carefully to both answers and use what you learn to take one meaningful action.
