Those are things we don't get.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

Oftentimes in smaller businesses, we don't get to those things, not because we don't value them, but because we have so much transactional nonsense in our business that we can't.
