And naturally, dropped an f-bomb or two along the way. You don`t want to miss it.

AI doesn`t treat every source equally; it trusts what`s credible, cited, and current, like news coverage.

Showing up in the right places isn`t just good PR. It`s how the robots (and the humans) get you right.

"If you don`t get up and grind every day, the needle isn`t gonna move."

We sat down with brandonmccraney, founder and Master Blender behind olderaleighdistillery in Zebulon, North Carolina. Brandon spent fifteen years just thinking about whiskey before he finally opened his doors, and even then it took four more years, a dozen rejections, construction delays, and a global pandemic to get there. Two years later, Olde Raleigh had already won Best Micro Distillery in the US.

Check out the latest episode of Happy Hour Hustle, where Brandon shares what it actually took to grow a business through COVID, the military discipline that kept him going when everything else said quit, and how working with people turned out to be the hardest part of the job.

Listen to Happy Hour Hustle on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and watch the whole episode on Youtube. Link in bio.

It`s 9 months that is impossible to sum up in a video - but here`s just a taste.

This Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship is resources, mentorship, and connections that you can`t build anywhere else. We`re so exicted for what the next cohort will bring.

Another cohort of the Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship just graduated, and honestly, the numbers only tell half the story.

The real value comes from the friendships, the business (and life) changing advice, and the community that shows up long after the program ends.

As one fellow said: "The other women in that room are not your competition. They are your curriculum."

Congrats to this incredible group.

Not everyone feels like they can be themselves at work, but it starts from the top down.

bodespeaks sat down with alyshiahull, a New York-based freelance journalist writing for Business Insider, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, and more, to talk culture, workplace authenticity, the personality types that help or hurt you at work, and the real AI risk facing today`s workforce.

Plus dogs, guilty pleasures, and the great cursive debate. Grab a glass of red wine (with ice) and watch the full episode. Link in bio.
