Send us a text

In an age of AI, automation, and remote everything, it’s easy to forget that business still runs on people. In this episode, Mike & Blaine dive into why relationships, trust, and genuine human connection are still the foundation of success—no matter how digital your business gets. We’re talking about making business personal again: building trust through conversations (not clicks), showing up for your clients, and finding the fun in working with real people instead of screens. Whether you’re leading a remote team, running a startup, or just trying to keep it human in a tech-driven world, this episode will remind you why relationships are still your biggest competitive advantage.
