Your best thinking doesn’t belong in a bunker
You know the classic playbook:
A PDF. A form. A lead.
It used to pass. The board would see a couple of leads. Maybe even a chart.
It would feel like progress.
But now? It’s a dead end.
AI doesn’t download your PDF. Buyers don’t either. In fact, only 1.7% does (look at these statistics).
And no one quotes ideas they can’t reach.
Hard Stop #2 If your best thinking is hidden, it’s forgotten.
So here’s the shift:
1. Say it where people can see it
2. Make it easy to scan, easy to share
3. Build guides, not gated files
You might lose a few email addresses.
But you’ll gain something better: Reach. Recognition. Respect.
Smart content doesn’t need a lock. It needs a home.
Have a great weekend!
