In this episode of 5Q's, host Michael Greenberg (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gentoftech/) interviews Rand Larsen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rand-larsen/), the founder of Scale Path, a peer group community for small business owners that's grown to 9 groups and nearly 100 members in under 3 years. He shares how a single introduction he made three years ago between two solar company founders turned into a relationship that's still going today, and why the best connectors have a hit rate that no amount of cold outreach can match.

In this episode of 5Q's, host Michael Greenberg (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gentoftech/) interviews William Christensen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-christensen/), an automation consultant who has been in the game since 2017, years before almost anyone riding the current AI wave. After a decade of iteration, his latest business bet is a three-tier AI agent building consultancy (DIY, done-with-you, done-for-you) that went from nothing to $25,000 per month in just a few months. Will explains what changed, why the timing finally hit, why most of the AI hype on social media is manufactured FOMO, and the best way in which you can start using AI today.
