📬 Weekly Recap: Train Your AI Like You Train Your Team

The tools are getting smarter.
But so are the consequences of using them unconsciously.

This week was about intentional automation…where values, tone, and trust don’t get left behind.

Your AI is part of your team now.
Time to start treating it that way.

Let’s recap 👇

Justin’s Weekly Reflection

This week, we upgraded automation from tactical → intentional.
Not just "How do I get more done?"

But "How do I scale with identity intact?"

The truth is:

So don’t just train your AI to complete tasks.
Train it to think like you.

Because whether you like it or not,
your AI is now your first impression.
