The Business Brain Weekly Round Up
This week on Business Brain we covered everything from making deals to making eye contact.
Episode 688 was all about sharpening your buy-and-sell skills—whether it’s cars, iPhones, or even free couches you flip with time-lapse videos. Think baselines, anchors, and clever time management to stay in control.
Then in episode 689, we shifted gears to body language on Zoom (stand up, stop crossing your arms, and for the love of all things, hide self-view) and took a peek at Limitless AI—a gadget that remembers your commitments better than you do.

TLDW: Too Long Didn't Watch
Smart deal-making starts before the deal itself.
Dave & Shannon share tactics like being a customer of your competitors, running ads to learn the market, and using safety nets (Carvana, Gazelle, KBB) to set price floors. Negotiation strategies—anchoring, stacking incentives, and controlling time—keep you in charge. Listener stories prove the point: flipping $1 book pallets into $5K or making free couches valuable with creative videos.
👉 The takeaway: Great deals come from preparation, baselines, and creativity—not luck.

TLDW:
This week’s FridAI combines two themes: presence and memory. First, practical body language hacks—stand to boost energy, hide self-view to reduce fatigue, and use gestures intentionally.
Then, a deep dive into Limitless AI (formerly Rewind), a pendant + app that records and organizes conversations into searchable “Life Logs.” From entrepreneurs to ADHD support, journalism, and elder care, the use cases are wide—and so are the privacy questions.
👉 The takeaway: Show up better in the moment, and explore how AI tools may help you capture and recall what matters most.

Tech Tip:
Auto-Save Client Files
Set up Dropbox/Google Drive rules to auto-sort incoming PDFs (like invoices or contracts) into the right folder. No more searching your Downloads folder mid-meeting.

If there’s a theme this week, it’s this: success is part smart strategy, part showing up like you mean it.
Whether you’re stacking incentives at the dealership, flipping book pallets into profit, or simply standing tall on your next sales call, the details matter.
Add a sprinkle of AI memory magic and you’ve got a recipe for working smarter. Thanks for hanging out with us—now go make some deals, keep your posture in check, and live your charmed life.
