A quote from Seth Godin that has me thinking

“Our choices today often lead to good outcomes later, and while today is real, we spend almost all of our lives living in later.”

Book I Recommend

There is a lot of discussion about AI and it’s truly amazing stuff. I use Google Maps everyday for directions to my many appointments. I’m amazed when they know there is construction and create a faster route given all the variables. It’s spot on with timing for arrival almost every time. I came across this book that I felt I had to read and I’m glad I did. 

Synopsis: Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the “smart” in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence.

In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. 

Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to?

A Special Thanks…

20 years ago I started Buresh Home Solutions to help serve homeowners in need of home improvements. Last month we celebrated our 20th anniversary. It was a great night with hundreds of customers, employees, and family. The celebration really reinforced my desire to serve others and do it differently. My team is great and I relish the friendships I have developed with many customers. 

The success of the event has helped us make the decision to hold an annual
Customer/Employee/Supplier Appreciation event.

We will continue to strive to be the most respected home improvement company in Central Iowa.

I feel a great amount of gratitude for all involved.
Thank you.
