In today’s episode, Ramon challenges entrepreneurs to consider a deeper human obligation: showing up for others even when we don’t feel like it. He also shares his simple two-minute morning strength routine plus a 30-minute power walk, breaks down Airbnb’s new “Experiences” group-messaging feature, and spotlights AI updates that signal where work is headed next.

Key Takeaways
- Your presence is a gift. Consistent encouragement can be part of your calling—especially if your audience relies on it.
- Micro-habits move the needle. A focused two-minute strength set + 30-minute power walk is sustainable and effective.
- Bring people together. Airbnb’s new group messaging for Experiences underscores a truth: humans crave connection—so design for it.
- AI is eating busywork. Projects aimed at automating financial “grunt work” and AI-native browsers point to task-level automation across industries.
- Security is non-negotiable. Lock your digital doors: strong passwords, 2FA, and modern endpoint protection across devices.
- Entrepreneur’s question of the day: Are you called to contribute beyond your immediate obligations?
The Human Obligation: Showing Up Even When You Don’t Feel Like It
Entrepreneurship isn’t just products, funnels, and quarterly targets. It’s leadership—of clients, communities, and teams. Ramon poses a provocative question: Do we have a human responsibility to show up for others?
If your daily “good morning” post, quick voice note, or five-minute live stream regularly lifts someone else, that’s value. When you pause those touchpoints, people miss out. You don’t have to become a 24/7 motivational machine, but a consistent cadence of encouragement can be part of your brand promise—and your calling.
Try this:
- Choose one channel (WhatsApp group, Instagram Story, LinkedIn post).
- Set a minimum viable cadence (e.g., three mornings a week).
- Keep a running list of 20 short prompts so inspiration is never a blocker.
- Track replies and DMs to gauge real impact, not just vanity metrics.
A Simple, Sustainable Fitness Habit for Founders
Ramon’s current routine is refreshingly doable:
- 2 minutes of intentional strength and mobility (slow push-ups, squats, lunges, toe-touches, side bends).
- 30-minute power walk outdoors (or treadmill if needed).
You don’t need triathlete training to lead with energy. As a founder, the win is consistency with intention: movements that keep you strong enough to lift gear, stand on stage, hustle through airports, and stay clear-headed in meetings.
Founder fitness tip: Put “walking meetings” on your calendar. You’ll hit your step count while moving deals forward.
Product Update with a People Lesson: Airbnb’s Group Messaging for Experiences
Airbnb is rolling out direct messaging among attendees of the same Experience, enabling people to connect before and after the event. The tech headline is cool—but the entrepreneurial lesson is better: connection is the product.
If a global platform is prioritizing pre-event and post-event conversations, it’s a signal. Humans want belonging, not just bookings. Build your offers to create before/during/after touchpoints that turn a one-time transaction into ongoing community.
Steal this play for your business:
- Create a private group chat for your next workshop cohort.
- Send a “pre-huddle” prompt 48 hours before start.
- Encourage attendee intros with a simple template (name, win, ask).
- Post a 7-day post-event challenge to keep momentum going.
AI’s March on Busywork: What It Means for Your Team
From industry-specific automation projects (e.g., finance deal support) to AI-enabled browsers that bring conversational assistance into every page, the trend is clear: AI is moving from general chat to workflow-native utility.
What to do now:
- Map your repetitive tasks. If a well-trained intern could do it with a checklist, it’s ripe for AI.
- Pilot in one function. Start with research synthesis, spreadsheet structuring, or first-draft analyses.
- Define quality gates. Humans own judgment, context, and final sign-off.
- Upskill your team. Teach prompts, reviews, and AI-assisted SOPs so productivity gains stick.
Lock the Digital Doors: A Founder’s Security Checklist
You already lock your home and car. Treat your business the same way:
- Use a password manager and unique, complex passwords.
- Turn on two-factor authentication everywhere.
- Install and maintain modern endpoint protection on laptops, tablets, and phones.
- Train your team to slow down on emails, invoices, and “urgent” requests—social engineering is the #1 attack vector.
Call to Action for Entrepreneurs
- Pick one person-first ritual (morning post, weekly voice note) and recommit this week.
- Adopt the two-minute strength + 30-minute walk for the next 7 days.
- Add one community touchpoint before or after your next event, cohort, or client workshop.
- Choose one workflow to pilot AI assistance and one security upgrade to implement today.
