The conversation spans from homesteading and chicken-keeping to the seismic impact of artificial intelligence on business strategy, operations, and society. Matt Rouse shares practical insights on how SMBs can navigate fragmentation in social platforms, while embracing AI as a collaborative partner rather than a replacement for human creativity.
