Brian Scordato: My inbox is flooded with folks pitching every business under the sun that could leverage chat GPT or insert the name of your favorite AI tool here.

We'll dig in on decisions customers avoid and using those decisions to anchor early traction. We'll talk through Brian's favorite current business - a guy who buys used cars for you - and how to approach helping people with chronic pain.
