That’s why we’re proud to share that our CEO, Will Strohl, was recently quoted in Solutions Review’s AI Appreciation Day 2025 feature. Who is Solutions Review? Solutions Review is a popular tech news site that helps businesses make smarter decisions about tools like AI, cybersecurity, and cloud services. They share expert insights, product comparisons, and industry trends to help companies stay ahead of the curve. In the article, Will shared his thoughts on how AI is transforming small businesses like ours: “AI is literally helping to save my business. It’s given us the ability to scale enterprise-quality services down to small businesses—something that wasn’t financially sustainable before... I appreciate AI not because it replaces people, but because it gives small teams like mine a fighting chance.” Why This Matters For small business owners, AI isn’t about flashy tech—it’s about creating efficiencies that help you compete. From automating marketing to streamlining customer support, AI unlocks time and resources so small teams can focus on what matters most: growing their business.
