Gangs of e-bikers flying around your neighborhood. People on speakerphone in public. You, trying to use AI to figure out everything in your business. In this Fargo Walks episode Jeff Fargo asks which one is doing the most damage. His fix makes the answer clear: you are not an AI guy.
What is the fix?
Stop pretending you have to be an AI guy. The clip's description says it plainly: "You are not an AI guy. Stop pretending you have to be."
Where should your time go?
To what made you successful. In Jeff's words: "Spend the time on what made you successful. Everything else. Hire it out."
What does grinding on AI tools cost you?
Hours your business does not get. The clip's description puts it this way: "Every hour you grind on tools that are not your job is an hour your business does not get."

What this does not mean
It does not mean stop using AI. The clip is about trying to use AI to figure out everything in your business yourself. It does not tell you to drop the tool.
It does not mean you have to become the expert first. The clip says the opposite: you are not an AI guy, and you do not have to pretend to be.
The decision
Spend your time on the work that made you successful. Everything else, hire it out. When you catch yourself grinding on tools that are not your job, stop.
