041 the sandbox and the assembly line

In today's episode of the One Degree podcast, I discuss a recent LinkedIn article about my CRM software, Wealthbox, adding a new AI note-taking feature. While it sounds efficient, I'm skeptical about its impact on innovation. I explore the necessary balance between creative energy and structured processes in business. Using examples like PowerPoint versus tools like Beautiful.ai, I emphasize the importance of flexibility and innovation in certain areas of business, while maintaining efficiency and procedures in others. Finally, I stress the significance of choosing which parts of your business to innovate and which to streamline.
