I love these practical tips from Mark Dusseau on how to have social impact by building a mission driven business.

Art will be the future of humanity in a post-AI world. I have had a couple conversations about AI this week where my perspective was surprising to others, so I wanted to more broadly share my thoughts to seed more possibilities about the future impact of AI. Generative AI as it currently exists does very…

Thanks, Alex Montas Hernández! I definitely appreciated the candid conversation, as I want to get to the heart of the matter and talk about how to translate ideas into real behaviors and practical outcomes. Take a listen to this episode of From Zero to Solopreneur to get some of what I learned in my own…
