Who's running this

I run a lighting business in Utah where I replaced a $3,000/month employee with AI. Now I build Brightly AI, a CRM that texts every lead in 90 seconds. I've tested 50+ tools and built everything on this site from real experience. The quiz and guides are what I wish I had when I started.
