I was recently stuck in an airport for 6 hours while my flight got more and more delayed.

We feel like we need to work or the business will crumble. I was there a few years ago.But the good news is it’s not true. You can take time off and still have a thriving business.

What do Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Marie Curie, Ben Franklin, and Virginia Woolf all have in common? They all created long-lasting, humanity-impacting work…without the use of AI.See, there are lots of people who will tell you that you need to use AI or get left behind.
