And other word choices that make me immediately disregard what you say: "I've spent thousands of hours studying..."

Spending $20 on a loaf of bread. Crazy times! (It's very good bread.)

AI notetaking output is every bit like that try-hard in 11th grade English class, using dollar words in every single instance where a dime word would suffice. I HATE this kind of writing.

The amount of innovation that goes into better showcasing women's asses in workout gear is a little mind-boggling sometimes.

I think that YouTube viewership skews heavily male. (Just heard the stat 65% men, 35% women.) Does that make it *less* of a good marketing platform for women advisors? Or at least, advisors who want to/expect to attract women clients? kendrarockslife Any opinions?

You ever meet someone for the first time, talk with them, and just think, "Wow, they seem Really Competent." I love meeting those people. (in this case, my 2nd not-good-fit prospective client of the day :)

You ever have prospective clients whom you like largely because they remind you So Much of yourself and your husband, just 20 years ago? And not only because the H sports a mustache. Although that IS a large part of it...
