The best AI advice I've heard lately didn't come from a tech guru.

It came from the guy who built an ice cream empire by ignoring conventional wisdom.

Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's just told a room full of people: stop chasing the paycheck, chase the problem worth solving. That's actually the smartest AI strategy most business owners are missing.

Here's what that means practically. The businesses winning with AI right now aren't the ones who bought the flashiest tool. They're the ones who got honest about one painful, repetitive problem — and found the simplest fix for that specific thing.

You don't need an AI transformation. You need an AI Tuesday. One afternoon, one workflow, one measurable result. That's what separates the people who say "we wasted $200/month on software nobody touched" from the ones quietly gaining an edge.

Start here: write down the task your team does most that takes the longest. Just that one. That's your first AI project. Not a strategy. Not a roadmap. One task.

That's how you get your first real win — without touching what's already working.

What's the one repetitive task in your business you wish would just disappear?
