Weekly Update #55: Fable 5, The Trillion Dollar Coach, and Permission to Cancel That Meeting

It's Fourth of July weekend and K&D is going for the three peat on most patriotic float in tomorrow's parade. But before the fireworks, we've got work to do. This week I'm covering three things every trades leader needs right now. First, Fable 5. Anthropic's newest model is here and most of you aren't even scratching the surface. I walk through exactly how I'm using it: writing proposals and RFP responses, deep research on M&A activity in our industry (223 confirmed transactions and counting), and training it to run legacy software workflows so your team stops clicking buttons and starts reviewing drafts. I also share how it did a complete takeoff on a residential design project and priced it within a few points of a job we already won. Second, Bill Campbell. The Trillion Dollar Coach who worked with Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt. I built a Claude project trained on his coaching style and I've been talking to it almost every day. It pushes back. It gets to the core issue. It got me frustrated, which is exactly what a good coach should do. Link below so you can use it or build your own. Third, burnout. We're 182 days into the year and a lot of you are feeling it. Heavy mornings. Emails you keep putting off. Sunday night dread. I name what burnout actually looks like and give you three moves: stop looking to your business as your only source of fulfillment, cancel the one meeting you're dreading most, and audit the people draining your energy. One person can derail your entire year. Don't let them. Burnout is not a weakness. Talk about it. Deal with it. Then get back to work. Weekly Updates are powered by Kress!
