32 分钟If you're running a business, people have probably told you to use AI or get left behind.
And I get that urgency.
Still, AI doesn't fix a messy business.
It exposes one because AI can only work with the information it can see.
So if you ask AI something about your business, about stock or sales or customers or about your team,
that information needs to be connected to the AI to be useful.
That's the idea behind NetSuite by Oracle, the sponsor of this episode.
NetSuite is the AI powered business management suite that securely connects your financials,
your inventory, your commerce, your HR and your CRM into a single source of truth.
And with NetSuite next...
AI is built into that connected system.
It can surface useful insights, help with routine work, and let you ask questions about your business in plain English.
For the first time ever, you can try NetSuite Next for free if your business is generating seven figures or more.
Just go to netsuite.ai slash Bartlett.
That's netsuite.ai slash Bartlett.
John, how did you come to be a CIA spy?
When I was nine years old, I told my parents that I wanted to be a spy when I grew up.
It came time to apply for college, and I only applied at one university, George Washington University in Washington,
because it was two blocks from the White House,
and it was one of only three schools in America that offered a Middle Eastern studies program.
