Episode 670 Rundown: Give Your Brain Permission to Wander
In Episode 670, we explore something most entrepreneurs underestimate:
How often our best insights show up when we’re not "on."
A stray text. A moment after a glass of wine. A casual thought during a drive.
These aren’t distractions—they’re data points.
They reveal that unstructured moments are essential to high-level thinking.
Here’s your actionable takeaway:
✅ Schedule “Creative White Space”
Block 30–45 minutes this week where you deliberately do nothing structured.
No meetings, no screens, no task lists.
Take a walk. Doodle. Journal. Reflect.
Then?
🎯 Use your voice memos or notes app to capture what surfaces—you might be surprised what bubbles up.
✨ Sometimes productivity looks like stillness.
And sometimes your next breakthrough doesn’t need a brainstorm… it needs a breather.

Take Action with Episode 671:
📄 Actionable Lesson: Make AI Your First Line of Defense (Before Legal)
In Episode 671, Dave and Shannon dive into an underrated use for AI: contract review.
That’s right—AI isn’t just for blog posts and pitch decks anymore. It can help you decode legalese, highlight risks, and even suggest smarter terms… all in seconds.
Here’s your move:
✅ Before you send a contract off to your lawyer (and start the hourly meter), run it through a tool like ChatGPT or Claude. Prompt it with:
“Please review this contract and summarize key risks and areas that could be negotiated.”
You won’t replace your legal team—but you’ll walk in smarter and more prepared.
🧠 Bonus: Tools like Gamma are making these insights even more interactive and presentable.

Finance Friday
Too many entrepreneurs treat budgets like diets—strict, boring, and meant to be broken.
But here's the truth:
A budget isn’t a restriction. It’s a strategy.
💡 It reveals your priorities:

Your budget is a living, breathing guide.
✅ Set it based on your goals
📊 Track it like your future depends on it
🔄 Adjust it as you learn and grow
Because winging it feels freeing—until the runway runs out. ✈️💥
