If you're reading this, you probably already know that AI is the future. You're not just interested in outgrowing generic AI; you want to own and control it.

Wait, what's an AI talent crunch? It's a situation where the demand for AI talent far outstrips the supply.

Now, you might think that you can just hire someone who knows how to code. But let me tell you something: coding and AI are not the same thing.

And that's where purpose-trained intelligence systems come in. These are AI systems that are specifically designed to solve your unique business problems.

Now, some people might say that purpose-trained intelligence systems are just a fad. They'll tell you that traditional AI talent is still the way to go. But I have news for those people too: relying solely on traditional AI talent is a recipe for disaster. Why? Because it's not scalable.

But with purpose-trained intelligence systems, you can scale as much as you want. You don't need to worry about hiring more AI talent because the system does all the heavy lifting for you

So, what's the answer? Well, it's simple: you need both.

But here's the thing: not everyone gets this. Most companies are stuck in the traditional labor market, hiring traditional AI talent to build generic AI systems that don't really do much for them

But not you. You get it. You see the value in both types of labor markets. And that's why you're going to outgrow everyone else. That's why you're going to be the one who breaks the mold, who sets a new standard for what AI can do for business.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "That sounds great, Jordan. But how do I actually do it?" Well, that's a question for another day. But trust me, if you embrace both types of labor markets - purpose-trained intelligence systems and traditional AI talent - you'll be unstoppable. You'll own and control your AI, and you'll be the one who sets the pace for everyone else to follow.
