FridAI, AI Agent Limits – Business Brain 727

In this episode of Business Brain, we confront the real limits of AI agents and what they mean for our workflow. From cleaning up contradictory ChatGPT memory instructions to testing AI autocomplete tools like Cotypist and connecting health data inside Claude, we explore where AI truly creates leverage—and where it hits hard caps. With monthly browser agent limits and restricted agent requests, we’re reminded that automation isn’t infinite, and strategy matters more than ever. We also look at AI through the lens of ownership and responsibility—especially on a day built around apology and blame. Are we using AI to intentionally design our Charmed Life, or are we outsourcing our thinking? In this episode of Business Brain, we define smarter automation, push against AI agent constraints, and stay in control of the systems powering our business. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #727 for Casual FridAI, February 13th, 2026 February 13th: National Apology Day and National Blame Someone Else Day 00:01:28 Sadie-Edit your ChatGPT memory’s contradicting instructions 00:04:51 Cotypist – AI Autocomplete for the Mac 00:07:14 Claude let me connect my Health data 00:11:09 SPONSOR: Tempo – Tempo delivers perfectly-portion meals to your door, each is ready in just 2 minutes.

Boredom is the Plateau

In this episode of Business Brain, we face a hard truth: boredom isn’t a slump—it’s the plateau we built. When things get stable, we can start manufacturing chaos just to feel like the hero again. Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton push us to notice when routine becomes the enemy and when “busy” replaces real momentum. Instead of chasing noise, we learn to spot the patterns that keep us stuck and break through with intention. We also tackle the tension between prioritizing revenue and protecting our Charmed Life. At 3pm, we can reset with two refocusing questions: What’s the most important thing we can do right now to increase revenue? And what’s the most important thing we can do to enhance our charmed life? In this episode of Business Brain, we redefine productivity, escape the boredom trap, and design growth without sacrificing the life we’re building. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #726 for Wednesday Casual FridAI, February 11th, 2026 February 11th: National Inventors Day 00:01:24 We’ll use Suno to update our theme song 00:02:38 Boredom is the Plateau TRIBE Founders Group If we get bored… are we intentionally creating problems to be the hero? feedback@businessbrain.show Sponsors 00:10:35 SPONSOR: Tempo – Tempo delivers perfectly-portion meals to your door, each is ready in just 2 minutes.

FridAI, Hiring Agents

In this episode of Business Brain, we dig into how AI is quickly becoming a true coworker, not just a tool. We explore deeper ChatGPT personalization, AI-driven tech support (even through smart glasses), and what it means to “hire” agents like Claude to think, write, and problem-solve alongside us. From autocomplete apps to AI companions inspired by sci-fi, we reframe AI as something we employ intentionally—on our terms. We also push ourselves to think bigger about how we make money in the AI age. As automation accelerates, we focus on what still matters most: human connection, trust, and creativity. By using AI to amplify—not replace—our unique value, we position ourselves to stay relevant, grow revenue, and design a Charmed Life that blends smart tech with meaningful work. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #725 for Casual FridAI, February 6th, 2026 February 6th: Working Naked Day 00:02:05 Join ChatGPT Health Waitlist 00:03:07 More ChatGPT personalization 00:05:17 Tech Support with AI Using the Meta AI glasses for tech support 00:08:20 David-Try Cotypist, an AI-powered autocomplete app Sponsors 00:09:40 SPONSOR: Intuit QuickBooks Payroll – Leave the chaos behind and start the new year off right with QuickBooks Payroll.

Shiny Object Opportunities – Business Brain 724

In this episode of Business Brain, you’re challenged to rethink your relationship with shiny objects—are they real opportunities or just distractions dressed up as progress? You explore how tools, platforms, and trends can open doors or quietly hijack your focus, especially when that smartphone Pandora’s Box is always within reach. By reframing “shiny object syndrome” into intentional “shiny object opportunities,” you learn how to stay curious without losing control—and how smart entrepreneurs choose what deserves their attention. You’re also pushed to ask a deceptively simple question: what do you actually want to do today? Drawing inspiration from Steve Jobs’ famous reflection on living with intention, this episode helps you align daily decisions with the bigger picture of building a Charmed Life. It’s about cutting through noise, choosing with purpose, and making sure the business you’re building still serves the life you want to live. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #724 for Wednesday, February 4th, 2026 February 4th: Facebook’s Birthday 00:01:32 Managing the smartphone Pandora’s Box And celebrating(?)

GPT Shared Chats + Agents – Business Brain 723

In this episode of Business Brain, Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton explore how shared chats and AI-first tools are reshaping research, collaboration, and decision-making for entrepreneurs. They break down ChatGPT shared chats, compare them with Perplexity, and discuss what AI-powered browsers bring to modern workflows. The focus stays practical: using these tools to create clarity and speed, not distraction, while keeping human judgment firmly in control. The conversation then shifts to AI agents and how they can be applied to real business problems without over-automation or blind trust. Shannon and Dave examine where agents provide true leverage, how they fit into existing systems, and why intentional use matters more than novelty. Done right, these tools help entrepreneurs reclaim time, sharpen focus, and build businesses that support a smarter workflow and a Charmed Life. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #723 for Casual FridAI, January 30th, 2026 January 30th: National Big Wig Day 00:01:24 ChatGPT Shared Chats Perplexity Comet, the Perplexity Browser 00:10:03 SPONSOR: Shopify – For anyone to sell anywhere, sign up for a one-dollar-per month trial period at Shopify.com/BusinessBrain and upgrade your selling today! 00:11:46 SPONSOR: Intuit QuickBooks Payroll – Leave the chaos behind and start the new year off right with QuickBooks Payroll.
