Hey y'all, welcome back π₯ This Monday Marketing & Mindset episode dives into the most-clicked article from last week's Bubbles & Biz newsletter, a groundbreaking UX study on Googleβs AI overviews. π€ I break down key takeaways from the research, including how AI is changing search behavior, reducing click-throughs, and shifting where we need to focus our SEO efforts. πThen, we shift gears into mindset with a quick reflection on The Illusion of Money by Kyle Cease. I share how this book challenged my perspective on money, why our internal beliefs matter more than we think, and how rewiring your money mindset can be one of the most important steps you take as an entrepreneur. πΈβ¨ Grab your coffee (or bubbly) and letβs kick off the week with strategy and mindset!π Want the newsletter that inspired this convo?
