AI isn't just opening new business opportunities, it's changing the way businesses get work done. Questions they ask, the decisions they make, the routine tasks that can be handed off, that's the idea behind NetSuite Next, the next generation of NetSuite, with AI woven into the tools that your business already relies on. NetSuite Next surfaces insights exactly when you need them, puts agents to work on routine tasks and problems, and lets you ask complex questions in plain language, like talking to a knowledgeable colleague. But technology is only part of the story. AI is also shaping how people and teams work together, and shift is underway. And that's why there is a new expert created business guide for

you. It's called Alignin for the Agentic Era, how AI is changing everyday work. And right now, it's totally free. It can explain how AI can reshape work across your entire organization, and how businesses like yours can prosper from it. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, get this free business guide Alignin for the Agentic Era at netsuite.com slash stoic. The

guide is free to you at netsuite.com slash stoic. You think you're the first person to live in political dysfunction? You think you're the first person to live in a time when it feels like the world is falling apart? You think you're the first person to live in a time when people are shitty to each other, when there are demagogues in power, when it feels like stuff is falling apart? No, you weren't. The ancient Stoics lived in the time of Nero. You know Socrates, he didn't live in

the golden age of Athens. He lived in the time of 30 tyrants. He lived through a great power conflict. People have always lived in difficult times, but you know what they figured out? They figured out you've got to focus on what's in your control. You've got to figure out how to not let the

assholes make you an asshole. You've got to do good where you can. You've got to remind yourself what's important. You can't follow every news story. You can't be distracted by every outrage.

You can't extrapolate everything into the end of the world. You have to ride it out. You have to focus. You have to stay good and stay decent. And then you got to make a positive difference where you can. You can't give up hope. You have to stand strong. And you have to realize in times like

these that there have always been times like these and people got through it and you will get through it. And it may well be an opportunity for you to be great, to be heroic, to make a difference. That's what you focus on in dysfunctional crazy scary times.
