Aaron Cannon(@AaronLCannon):Traditionally, we're taught to hyper-focus on a niche, do it really well, and then expand the business from there. But in the age of AI, that's wrong. The market is so competitive that you can’t give up or give away segments of the market to other players. Your job is to figure out how to align resources to focus on the entire market. The whole industry matters, not just your corner of it.
