In this episode of Business Brain, we take on AI tunnel vision. Dave spent weeks letting a frontier model troubleshoot a nasty Mac Mail slowdown, only to discover the answer was available the whole time once he asked the question a different way. We break down why agents get locked into the path they’ve already taken, and share practical fixes: ask what you’re missing, ask where you’d look if you started over knowing what you know now, spin up a fresh agent for a second opinion, or have the AI explain where things stand like you’re five.

Then we shift to something exciting, better access to our own data. Shannon walks through how GrokBot can now read her X history to surface top posts and coach her voice, and Dave shares how an MCP connection let Claude sift through a mountain of social comments to find hundreds of listener questions worth answering. We also share an inspiring story about a musician whose consistent posting landed him a spot in the Beach Boys touring band, a reminder that showing up publicly pays off. Agents are breaking down old gatekeepers, and that’s a big win for building a Charmed Life around the data that’s already ours.
