Hello Reader,

📍 From the Top

This bi-weekly spotlight examines three breakthrough frameworks. Bill Douglas reveals why AI readiness requires data ownership first. Jake Tlapek proves TikTok works for serious B2B lead generation. Maria Cristini shows how the 3-Circle Method eliminates career confusion.
