[laughs]

So, um, we've got, uh, lots of members that come to us, have never created a single post, and now, you know, they have things going every day.

Like, uh, uh, we have a auto mechanic that, uh, he was the very first participant in our weekly social media strategy session, and, uh, he d- didn't even really use Facebook.

He, he had an account, but wasn't using it to promote his business.

He was actually promoting, you know, local sports teams more than he was promoting his business online, 'cause he's a fan, right? And now if you go to look at his page, uh, he's got content on there every single day.

Um, he's built a organic following.

He hasn't paid for any of that except for, uh, a, a little bit of commitment of time.

Yeah.

What's being transformed?

So the transformation is the organizations all grew into, in regions.

They didn't grow nationally, except for Pilots N Paws.

Um, and as they did that, they sort of felt territorial.

So if other organizations were coming in, they weren't collaborating, uh, necessarily.

And the market, uh, demand is so large, they weren't recognizing the fact that many people can exist in the same marketplace, and they should really work together.

Uh, so what, what it has evolved now is the organizations are working together.

Mm-hmm.

Sewing machine or the flag?

Sewing machine, yeah, yeah.

No, the flag's flying.

Nothing ever happens.

It's flying up here.

So then go back to joining a cheap little sewing machine and, you know, practice and then...

Showing stuff to my friends.

plaque out there for you?

Talk to me a little bit about what you're seeing.

Yeah, I think for me, as we were talking before, as a musician, as a marketer, as someone who believes in creating real things, I have a hard time with the vast flaws that could happen with AI.

And I think AI should be thought about in a way that within the right guardrails and within the right box, it can be so helpful for your business to drive things like automated workflows, right, to speed up your internal processes or some of your communication with your customers.

Our chief AI officer at JobNimbus just had a post on LinkedIn the other day that he talked about the concept of vibe coding, which I'm hearing a lot about in a lot of the Facebook forums for roofing and so forth.

Why do I need a CRM? I could just vibe code something, right? Why do I need this tool? I could just, you know, use AI to get estimates or whatnot.

Well, there's a lot of maintenance that goes into that.

You could develop something overnight, which is pretty incredible that we can do that.

love what you said

What is a common mistake you see a new pilot make on one of their first few flights?

[laughs] Don't wanna get myself in trouble here.

So generally, there's two issues.

One is they don't wanna sign up for a mission because they're afraid they'll have to cancel.

And weather is always an issue.

It doesn't matter whether you're reserve- you know, signing up for a mission two or three weeks in advance or one tomorrow.

Um, so don't, don't get caught in that.

What do you have to learn beyond the basic stick and rudder skills when you're flying a jet?
