I genuinely want to know: What's the biggest bottleneck you're hitting when you try to use AI for your content? Is the output sounding generic? Off-brand? Like every other AI post on the internet? I'm doing a few free 15-minute discovery calls this week - no pitch, just a real conversation - because I'm building something specific around this problem, and I want to make sure it actually solves the RIGHT thing for people like you. If that sounds useful, grab a spot here: https://calendly.com/poguedigitalsolutions/15min

Hey everyone! I could really use your help. As part of the Warrior Rising actiVator program, I'm conducting 30-minute customer discovery interviews for the business I'm building, Brand Voice AI. I'm not selling anything. In fact, I won't be pitching my idea during the interview. My goal is to learn from your experiences as a business owner and hear your honest perspective. The more candid you are, the more valuable the conversation will be. Your feedback will directly influence what I build, and it may even challenge some of my assumptions, which is exactly what I'm hoping for. If you're willing to help, please comment below with a day and time that works for you, or send me a direct message. I really appreciate any help you can provide. I truly appreciate everyone willing to invest 30 minutes to help me build something that solves a real problem. 🙏

LinkedIn gives us the green #OpenToWork ring, which is useful. But what about people who are not looking for a traditional job? What about consultants, founders, speakers, authors, freelancers, coaches, veterans, or business owners? I kept looking at that little green ring and thinking: Why should the message stop at #OpenToWork? What if it said: #OpenToConsult Available for Projects Veteran Owned Book Me to Speak Founder YourWebsite.com LinkedIn does not currently offer those choices. That is where my motto kicks in: Don’t tell me it can’t be done! So I made a simple Customer GPT I captured my existing profile image, replaced the green ring, changed the wording, tested new colors, and turned it into a branded profile badge. Here is the link: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-6a6554ecf3788191b0b02adb3f89388d-profile-branding-ring-pogue-digital-solutions If you could replace #OpenToWork with any message, what would your profile ring say? Drop your idea below.

Until now, the only way to pass down how someone thinks was through an apprenticeship. You stood next to someone for years and hoped enough of it rubbed off. Think about how knowledge has moved. Before writing and books, it went by word of mouth. You learned from whoever happened to be standing next to you, or you learned the hard way. Then books showed up, and we started stacking - every generation built on the last one's notes. AI is doing that same thing for your judgment. This is a paradigm-changing event. I've been working through videos from the speakers at Funnel Hacking LIVE 2026: The A.I. Era, and Scott Evans' build is what put words to it. He didn't just automate a lead pull. He took his own decision-making - who counts as a real prospect, what a 4 out of 5 looks like, how the first message should sound - and turned it into a skill he can run again next week. That's not a shortcut. That's an apprentice who never forgets. What an amazing time to be alive. So tell me: what would you clone first? Vote below, then tell me why in the comments; the "why" is the interesting part.
