In today's episode Judith Germain speaks to Chris Hanna about the entrepreneurial revolution and how the side hustle has become a micro business. Judith shares her thoughts of how big business is losing the goodwill of their employees, as their employees use their 'goodwill' time on their own micro business. They discuss the importance of business owners rethinking and evolving their approaches to stay relevant in a changing world. They also talked about the need for small businesses to evolve and embrace change, while solopreneurs have the advantage of being able to adapt quickly. Chris and Judith discuss the importance of embracing AI technology and the potential risks it brings to businesses. They also highlighted the need for personal connections and third-party references to maintain authenticity and credibility in a world where AI can clone voices and images.
