Stress. Never heard of it…

Ok, maybe I ve heard of stress, but let me tell you, launching an AI startup like BannsAi could ve been a lot more stressful if not for some key strategies I live by: 1. Let AI Take the Load One of the perks of working on BannsAi? I get to use the product myself. Need an ad banner ASAP? Boom done in seconds. No stress, just solutions. 2. Trust the Process Building anything new comes with challenges, but I remind myself that every hiccup is a step closer to improvement. Progress over perfection. 3. Delegate to People Smarter Than Me I ve learned that trusting my team to handle what they re great at is a game-changer. You can t do everything, and you shouldn t have to. 4. Focus on What Matters Not every fire needs to be fought. I spend my energy on decisions that genuinely impact growth and let go of the rest. 5. Laugh it Off Things go wrong. A server crashes, a deadline gets missed. Instead of panicking, I try to find the humor in it it s amazing how much perspective a laugh can bring. Stress is real, but with the right mindset, tools, and team, it doesn t have to own you. How do you keep stress in check?

10 Ways I supercharge my workflow

Launching an AI startup like BannsAi is exciting but let s be real, it s also demanding. Staying productive isn t optional; it s survival. Over time, I ve evolved my workflow into these 10 actionable strategies: 1. Prioritize Ruthlessly Every morning, I identify the top 3 tasks that will drive the most impact and focus on those first. Everything else can wait. 2. Automate Repetitive Tasks I m a huge fan of automation. From scheduling social media posts to managing email workflows, I delegate anything repetitive to tools or AI. 3. Organize with Tools Like Notion My entire life lives on Notion. From task management to project timelines, having a single source of truth eliminates mental clutter. 4. Daily Non-Negotiable Focus Time Every day, I block off 2 hours for deep work no distractions, no exceptions. This is when the real magic happens. 5. Short, Effective Meetings Only Meetings can drain productivity. If we need to sync, I ensure there s a clear agenda, and the conversation ends with actionable next steps. 6. Templatize Everything Anything I ve done twice gets turned into a template. Whether it s email pitches or blog outlines, this saves hours every week. 7. Delegate Without Micromanaging If someone else can do a task 80% as well as I can, it s theirs. Empowering my team not only frees up my time but also builds trust. 8. Weekly Mistake Reviews I don t fear mistakes I study them. Every week, I review what didn t go as planned and tweak my processes to avoid repeat errors. 9. Take Real Breaks Burnout kills productivity. I step away from the screen regularly, whether it s a walk, a workout, or just enjoying a coffee. 10. Celebrate Small Wins Progress fuels motivation. Every milestone no matter how minor is worth recognizing.

Do you see more “weird marketing” in advertisements, now that AI has come on the scene?

With the rise of AI tools, me and my team are weirded by a potential surge in "senseless" marketing. I worry that AI-generated ads might lack the human touch, leading to generic and impersonal campaigns. Do you think that AI makes advertisements generic and spammy?
