An Eventful Week of Progress, Connections, and Exciting Plans

I’m building two empires in public. Some days I feel like I’m making progress; other days, I feel like I’m just existing. But we must get up and keep going.
The past week has been incredibly eventful and productive. I’ve increased my business lunch dates, which has been both a blessing and a curse—hello, extra pounds! ?? But, the fascinating people I’ve met make it all worth it. Partnership interests are looking great. I’m excited to share that I’ve landed two big keynote AI speaking opportunities, and one of them is in Jamaica! ??
I met a young, intelligent lady who is set to make waves in the world of Data. Connecting with so many brilliant minds this week has been invigorating. Plus, I was invited to a Founder's breakfast networking event coming up, which promises more exciting connections.
My interns are diligently working on their projects. It’s a joy and a blessing to pour into the next generation and see their enthusiasm and fresh ideas.
I’m currently in the process of making some tough decisions, but these are necessary for the long-term success of the company. It’s all about strategic growth and setting ourselves up for future success.
I’m thrilled to announce a new series for my podcast. I’ve decided to make the podcast strictly audio and start a YouTube channel to showcase behind-the-scenes moments of growing my company and, of course, talk about AI.
The next few months are all about building momentum. More travel, more speaking engagements, and more opportunities to connect with incredible minds are on the horizon. Each trip is meticulously planned to ensure it brings value, whether through networking, securing deals, or gaining insights.
Building two empires isn’t for the faint of heart. There are days when progress seems painfully slow, and others when everything clicks into place. What keeps me going is the vision of what we’re creating and the impact it will have on countless lives.
To everyone following along, thank you for being part of this journey. Remember, no matter the challenges, we must keep moving forward. Every day, every effort counts. Let’s continue to build, inspire, and achieve greatness together.
Warm regards,
Edwina
