No.

Not even close.

No one knew much about AI and the idea that it could draw images and write copy blew their mind.

We live in a small bubble and it’s so early.

The gurus really need to chill on the hacks.

Sure... you can hack your way to the front page. You can hack your way to a couple thousand subscribers. You can even hack your way to going viral.

But I’m confident:

You can’t hack brand building.

It’s just not happening.

If you say “bottoms up” and you’re referring to a SaaS businesses go-to-market, you’re probably fairly new around here. It’s “bottom up” not “bottoms up”. We’re not at a frat party.
