You’re juggling data, marketing, and momentum, and this episode shows you how to turn all three into leverage. You learn why permissionless UTMs let you track audience behavior without waiting for approval, giving you a sharper view of what actually moves the needle. Then you’re pushed to rethink how you approach follow-ups and persistence — not as nagging, but as the habit-forming consistency that makes people naturally want to work with you. This is where you start building your own Charmed Life. We also explore how relationship shifts inside a company — especially when your point of contact changes — can either stall progress or open a fresh lane of opportunity. Instead of letting transitions derail you, you discover how to re-establish trust, reset expectations, and keep deals alive. It’s a tactical episode that blends marketing precision with human strategy to keep your entrepreneurial engine running smoothly. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #704 for Wednesday, November 26th, 2025 November 26th: National Cake Day 00:01:34 What do you use Business Brain 00:02:05 Permissionless UTMs https://businessbrain.show/review?utm_source=bb704&utm_campaign=bb704 00:11:04 SPONSOR: Shopify – For anyone to sell anywhere, sign up for a one-dollar-per month trial period at Shopify.com/BusinessBrain and upgrade your selling today! 00:13:02 SPONSOR: MasterClass.

On this episode of Business Brain, you explore how to use AI as a tool for revealing blind spots you didn’t even know you had. With prompts designed to surface hidden assumptions and second-order effects, you learn how to turn AI into a sharper strategic partner. The hosts walk you through asking AI to SWOT your life, push for specific examples, and then combine strengths and weaknesses so you can take real corrective action instead of just collecting insights. This episode also shows you how to redirect AI when answers drift and how to make it ask you smarter questions—especially when building plans or creative projects. The big takeaway: frequent use and strategic prompting erase resistance and unlock the clarity that fuels your Charmed Life. When you know how to steer the conversation, AI becomes a force multiplier for both your business and your thinking. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #703 for Casual FridAI, November 21st, 2025 November 21st: National Gingerbread Cookie Day 00:01:41 AI Prompt to find the blind spots AI Prompt: What are the blind spots, hidden assumptions, or second-order effects that I might be missing? 00:06:47 AI Prompt: Based upon everything you know about me I want you to SWOT my life.

Adding value in business doesn’t always mean solving every problem — sometimes simply naming the issue helps people unlock their own path forward. That mindset protects you from the Consultant Trap, where you feel obligated to deliver solutions instead of insight. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, your real power often comes from reframing the situation, not fixing it. Whether you’re chatting with clients, partners, or even hotel staff when you’re celebrating something special, you’re shaping outcomes through clarity and communication. We also explore how lifestyle businesses can slip into complacency when comfort replaces intention. You’re pushed to rethink how you manage your money, tapping concepts from Die With Zero and Rich Dad, Poor Dad to shift your focus from hoarding assets to living on profits and maximizing cash flow. You’re encouraged to avoid parking money in a checking account and instead build a structure that supports financial momentum — all so you can consistently design your own Charmed Life. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #702 for Wednesday, November 19th, 2025 November 19th: Women’s Entrepreneurship Day 00:01:22 Tell the hotel front desk that you’re celebrating your anniversary 00:02:57 You don’t always have to have a solution to a problem to add value The Consultant Trap on Business Brain Just identifying the problem or situation can be more than enough to help someone seek a solution Isn’t this what cognitive behavioral therapy is? 00:09:29 SPONSOR: Surfshark.
