Hey everyone, I'm Chris, from St. Louis, MO but currently living in Winston-Salem, NC. I've also spent the majority of the past 2 years in Cali, Colombia with my wife. Over the years, I've done all types of work... from boring office jobs to working in NASCAR and executing pit stops carrying a 70 pound tire while cars drive 55 mph inches away to being a field service technician for the biggest soda companies on the planet. 2 years ago I decided I was done with corporations and refused to ever have another boss. I started studying to become a full stack engineer, but then I got distracted by AI. So I dove into learning about and working with all different types of AI platforms and applications. I love learning new things about AI and how to implement it into my daily routine, as well as helping others learn and implement it too. I've started my own AI powered digital marketing agency with a strong desire to help local businesses adapt AI, gain more time & flexibility, and most importantly increase their revenue. Of course, my goal is to have the financial freedom for my wife and I to travel whenever & wherever we want and not be tied down to any one location. It's been a bit of a struggle for me to acquire clients as Sales and Marketing are not a part of my background. I'm trying to learn and apply the best practices and I'm always open to learn what is working for others. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I'll definitely try to help anyone I can and I'm glad to be a part of this group.

Hey everyone! Starting today and every Friday going forward, we’ll be opening a dedicated GAINS thread in the community. This is something @Kasim Aslam wants us to run consistently so we can share our wins, motivate each other, and celebrate progress together What counts as a “gain”? Anything that moved you forward this week. Big or small. Visible or behind the scenes. Since this is the first GAINS thread, you’re also welcome to share gains from previous weeks that didn’t have a place to live yet. A few examples to get you thinking: • Something you finally delegated • A decision you stopped delaying • Time, clarity, or leverage gained • A system you implemented • A win you never paused to acknowledge 👉 From the smallest gain to the most significant one, it all counts. Drop your gains and help set the standard for how we show up in this community 🚀 Go!! 👇
