Phil! This was the post I needed to read today. I've been thinking loads about how to develop Slow AI and was trying to borrow lots of bits from people I admire here on Substack. However, what I was proposing ended up looking like the Frankenstein's Monster you describe. This has really helped me focus back on to what works for me and my readers grounded in my own expertise. Thanks for the guidance. 🙏

First of all, I love the phrase Frankenstein Business. And you're right. One subtle correction can make a massive difference in your business!

Thanks @The Sunny Founder. I also call it a duct tape business sometimes :)

Blown away by the content, which aligns exactly with my thinking or where I'm landing/growing/something!

Glad it resonated! Anything specifically that really landed for you? Or are you referencing my share of your work? Was happy to highlight!

This comes up a lot in marketing. Brands wonder why their identity is muddy, and it’s because the house has been renovated by 3 leaders in 5 years. I’ve called it exactly this “Frankenstein.”

And the worst is when the right hand is unaware of what the left leg is doing. A monster unable to move with intent!

Thanks too for the link Phil.

totally! A lot of cleanup work to be done in that case.
