Former NEC Director Gary Cohn: The market would be floundering without the AI energy trade

The stock market is being propped up by AI energy deals right now.

Meanwhile, you're still trying to figure out which AI tool is worth your time.

You're not behind because you're slow. You're behind because everyone selling AI is talking to investors — not to business owners who just want something that actually works. That $200/month tool collecting dust isn't a failure on your part. It's a product that was never built for how you actually run a business.

Here's what Gary Cohn's comments quietly confirm: AI isn't slowing down. The infrastructure money is real. Which means your competitors are going to start getting real results soon — not from hype, but from simple, unglamorous automation that saves time on things they do every day.

The move isn't to buy the next big platform. It's to identify one repetitive task your team handles manually — customer follow-up, scheduling, report summaries — and test one tool against it for 30 days. That's it. One task. One tool. One measurable result.

No overhaul. No consultant. No six-month commitment.

What's one task in your business that eats time every week but feels too small to fix?
