Summary

#903 I was twenty-five when I started my business journey. Now, days away from my forty-third birthday, my perspective on what matters most has entirely shifted. More than ever, I'm optimizing for fun. Even more so, I'm optimizing for peace. If you resonate with these thoughts, join me for a reflective episode today. I'll update you on my family life and the best purchase I ever made to get more quality time with April, my wife. I'll share the number one activity that brings the whole family together, as well as an update on my health and the supplement that has made the biggest difference for me. Of course, I'll discuss becoming a New York Times best-selling author this year and how my success with short-form content has changed my outlook on what's coming next. If you're overwhelmed or unsure about where to place your focus, listen in! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session903.

product. It's making sure I'm making smart decisions with the data that I actually have. And here's the thing. Every business is asking the same question right now. How do we make AI work for us? And honestly, guessing is too risky. But sitting on the sidelines, that's not an option either because your competitors are already making their move. That's where a NetSuite comes in. It's the number one AI cloud ERP trusted by over 43,000 businesses. What I love about it is that it brings everything together, your financials, inventory, commerce, HR, and CRM, all into one single source of truth. And here's why that matters. When your data is connected, your AI doesn't just guess. It knows it can intelligently automate routine tasks, deliver actionable insights, and help you make confident decisions fast. This isn't another tool you just bold on. It's AI built into the system that runs your business. If I were running a business with lots of moving parts, NetSuite is what I would use to help me stay ahead of the pack.
