The Business Brain Weekly Round Up
Hey Reader,
Ever wake up from a dream and think,
“Wait...was that a million-dollar business idea or a sign I need less late-night tacos?”
Same.
This week on Business Brain, we dive headfirst into the fever dreams of entrepreneurship—literally.
In Episode 662, we explore how fear of the unknown can both paralyze and propel us, and why embracing uncertainty might be your next unfair advantage.
Then, in Episode 663, we plug into the latest wave of AI tools—Fridai, Replit, and GitHub Copilot—that are transforming the way we build, code, and create. Spoiler alert: the robots are friendly... for now.

Episode 662 Rundown:
Instead of avoiding fear, interrogate it. When you feel that tight-chest, cold-sweat moment before making a business move, pause and ask:
"Am I afraid because it’s risky… or because it’s new?"
✅ If it’s risky, assess and mitigate.
✅ If it’s simply new, lean in—discomfort often signals growth.
🛠️ Try This:
Write down your top 3 "fear roadblocks" right now. For each, note whether the fear is rooted in real risk or just uncertainty. Then pick one small action to chip away at that fear this week.
🔁 Rinse and repeat. Momentum follows courage.

Take Action with Episode 659:
Too many entrepreneurs wait to automate until their process is “perfect.” But waiting delays growth.
💡 This week’s episode dives into tools like Replit and GitHub Copilot, showing how low-lift automation can spark massive gains—even if you’re not a coder.
🚀 Try This:
Pick one repetitive task you do weekly (e.g., writing emails, formatting spreadsheets, summarizing notes).
Then:
- Search “[task] + AI tool” (e.g., “summarize meetings AI tool”)
- Try one AI or automation tool for it—Replit, Copilot, or even a no-code tool like Zapier or ChatGPT.
- Track how much time you save in a week. (Spoiler: It’ll be a lot.)
👊 Done is better than perfect. Iterate as you go.
