Happy Tuesday!

I’m putting on an elevator pitch workshop tomorrow; it will be held online. The Elevator Lab approach is geared towards leveling up the most common conversation any entrepreneur or professional will have (often 1,000+ times per year). I hope to see some of you there.

This week’s newsletter is brought to you by one of my absolute favorite AI tools of the moment called Wispr Flow. Keyboards are so 20th Century 😉

Ship the message as fast as you think

Founders spend too much time drafting the same kinds of messages. Wispr Flow turns spoken thinking into final-draft writing so you can record investor updates, product briefs, and run-of-the-mill status notes by voice. Use saved snippets for recurring intros, insert calendar links by voice, and keep comms consistent across the team. It preserves your tone, fixes punctuation, and formats lists so you send confident messages fast. Works on Mac, Windows, and iPhone. Try Wispr Flow for founders.

As always, check out these awesome upcoming events in LA:
