Rebecca asks: "I'm in a mastermind group and everyone is talking about AI agents. I don't even know where to start. It's making me wonder if I'm going to be able to keep up because people have such a head start on me."

In this episode, Scott acknowledges the FOMO is real—technology is coming at us faster than we can adjust. But the rule is simple: be curious, don't chase tools. It's never about the tool; it's about your business and the value you create.

The tortoise and hare applies here. Slow and steady wins. While your Instagram feed is full of new AI models daily, you don't have to act on everything. Scott shares how he processes new tech: yesterday he heard about an OCR model that's excellent at reading documents. He didn't implement it—he captured it as something to potentially leverage later. Awareness without immediate action.

The Dan Sullivan principle: your number one job is to protect your confidence. If AI is shattering your confidence, you're in a terrible spot. Give yourself a break. Give yourself grace. Make time to learn, but don't let FOMO consume you.

The bottom line: Be curious, don't chase tools. Protect your confidence. Slow and steady wins the AI race too.
