Justin Day: 我从自由职业者起步，通过口碑营销将业务发展到50万美元的收入。关键的转变包括外包、个人品牌建设和持续测试不同的产品和服务。我发现专注于一个核心产品并进行测试，而不是花费大量时间构建可能无效的产品，更为有效。在团队建设方面，我首先招聘了一位运营经理，这极大地改变了我的业务。之后，我组建了一个30人的团队。我建议大家尽早使用虚拟助理，即使他们并非完美无缺，但完成任务比追求完美更重要。持续发布内容，即使内容不完美，也能建立个人品牌并获得业务增长。在利用AI方面，我认为深入了解目标受众至关重要。AI可以帮助连接业务中的各个环节，创建个性化和简化的用户体验，从而提高客户终身价值或降低客户获取成本。AI还可以用作AI助理，帮助管理电子邮件，避免分心。此外，AI可以持续生成内容，用于SEO和社交媒体营销。在发展过程中，我最大的失败是在疫情前申请公司注册，导致公司在疫情期间面临巨大挑战，并背负了巨额债务。如果能回到过去，我会告诉自己专注于一件事，并逐步扩展，而不是试图同时成为各个领域的专家，并且尽早外包任务。 Rudy Mawer: (访谈主持人的问题和引导性发言，此处不作总结)
