Connection Is the New Currency with Jason Yeh, Part 1

This week, Dan sits down with Jason Yeh, founder of Scaling Freedom, to talk about identity, resilience, and rediscovering purpose through AI. Jason opens up about going against expectations, getting laid off (again), and why community has become the most vital part of his entrepreneurial path. This is a personal and practical conversation on how Jason helps business owners bring AI into their work in ways that are human, useful, and deeply thoughtful — including a clear "Three A's" framework you won't want to miss. Don't miss this if you've ever wondered how to connect clarity, technology, and meaning — especially in times of uncertainty.
