Happy Sunday Reader, I've been thinking about something... For years, I've been taught and I taught that your network determines your net worth. That is still true, but today, I believe there's another piece to the equation. You + AI × Your Network = $$$ Now before you roll your eyes and think this is another email about the "AI Phenomenon" , I want you to hear me out. AI by itself is not the answer. Your network by itself is not the answer. But when you combine Artificial Intelligence with a strong network of relationships, introductions, collaborations, partnerships, and opportunities... Something powerful happens. AI can help you learn faster. AI can help you think faster. AI can help you communicate faster. And I've also discovered that AI can help you connect with people faster. (The M.O.B.) But AI can't build trust. AI can't create relationships. AI can't introduce you to the right person. AI can't create a Million Dollar Collaboration™. People do that. The entrepreneurs who learn to combine technology with extraordinary relationships will have an advantage that previous generations never had. So here's my question for you... Are you building your AI skills? And more importantly... Are you still building your network? Because the future may belong to those who learn how to do both. To your Victory and Success, Brother Bedford |

For the first time, I had the opportunity to visit Black Wall Street and tour the Greenwood Rising Museum. As I walked through the exhibits and reflected on the history, one thought kept coming back to me:...
Greeting Reader, This is a legitimate question... How you answer this question will determine the types of moves you'll be making next year. Look, I know a lot of people who simply refuse to pay attentionto anything they perceive as "Negative".They will only focus on "The Positive Energy". And I get it... As much Hell as our people have to endure, the last thing you want to do is entertain "Negative News" or "Negative Thoughts". But here's the reality, Life is made up of Positive & Negative....
Greeting Reader, Yesterday I talked about how thousands of Black businesses may close their doors next year, not because they aren’t talented, passionate, or motivated… but because they aren’t strategic. And today I woke up thinking about something that’s been on my mind for a long time: Emotion and passion can FUEL your business — but Strategy is what STEERS it. Most of us were taught to work hard.To care deeply.To be committed.To push through.To show passion.To “believe in ourselves.” All...
