AI Is Your Cofounder
No pedigree, no Harvard, and no connections at all
A Chagrin Falls girl who'd walk right up and call
Sold bubblegum in second grade, knew what people want
Now I've got a brand-new partner working all night long
It runs numbers, writes the plan, never takes a break
The fire in my heart was never its to make
AI can be your cofounder
But it cannot be your purpose
It can draft it, it can price it
But the why is only yours
AI can be your cofounder
So bring your heart and bring your nerve
There's a seat for every dreamer
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
Seventeen or seventy, it's never been too late
You don't need a giant team, don't need to wait
Ask what you're scared of, ask it twelve times more
It won't roll its eyes, it'll help find the door
It's the strategist, the writer and the numbers person too
But the passion and the purpose, baby, that part's you
AI can be your cofounder
But it cannot be your purpose
It can draft it, it can price it
But the why is only yours
AI can be your cofounder
So bring your heart and bring your nerve
There's a seat for every dreamer
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
Use the hours that it saves you to be human
Close the laptop, make the call, walk into the room
Look somebody in the eye and say it true
I believe in you, I believe in you
AI can be your cofounder
But it cannot be your purpose
It can draft it, it can price it
But the why is only yours
AI can be your cofounder
So bring your heart and bring your nerve
There's a seat for every dreamer
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
The Burger King Parking Lot
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, a little waterfall town
Played shortstop every summer, starred on every court
I knew everyone, and if I didn't know your name
I'd walk right up to meet you, still the same
You can take the girl out of Chagrin Falls
But not Chagrin Falls out of the girl
From a Burger King parking lot
To the United Nations
No pedigree, no connections
Just a whole lot of nerve
If you told that girl at fifteen
She'd have laughed and said no way
From a Burger King parking lot
To the UN, woohoo, hey!
Fifteen, and the house was loud, I worked two jobs
My grades were creative and I didn't like my odds
A car came out of nowhere, the world went still
A year in traction, and a girl with a will
I sent a hundred resumes and nobody said yes
Thank God for closed doors, they led to the rest
At my graduation only my big sister came
The day it clicked: my life was mine to claim
From a Burger King parking lot
To the United Nations
No pedigree, no connections
Just a whole lot of nerve
If you told that girl at fifteen
She'd have laughed and said no way
From a Burger King parking lot
To the UN, woohoo, hey!
Not my parents, not my luck
No fairy godmother with a degree
The only one responsible
For my whole life is me
From a Burger King parking lot
To the United Nations
No pedigree, no connections
Just a whole lot of nerve
If you told that girl at fifteen
She'd have laughed and said no way
From a Burger King parking lot
To the UN, woohoo, hey!
EQ Over IQ
They had the Harvard and the MIT, the engineers
I could read a room, been reading rooms for years
Never thought I built a network, I was being kind
Asking questions, making intros, leaving no one behind
Then the robots showed up with the brainpower to spare
The thing I never had is sitting everywhere
EQ over IQ, that's my superpower
EQ over IQ, and this is our hour
A machine can write the email
But it can't make someone trust you
High EQ plus AI
Honey, that's what we can do
You remember all the birthdays, calm the angry customer down
Know the dog park by the dogs' names around town
Congratulations, honey, now the brains are everywhere
But a heart that reads a room is getting rare
Then the robots showed up with the brainpower to spare
The thing I never had is sitting everywhere
EQ over IQ, that's my superpower
EQ over IQ, and this is our hour
A machine can write the email
But it can't make someone trust you
High EQ plus AI
Honey, that's what we can do
A numbers person? Wonderful, come on in
Borrow a little EQ, and we both win
Spend the hours it saves with people face to face
That's the part of business no spreadsheet can replace
EQ over IQ, that's my superpower
EQ over IQ, and this is our hour
A machine can write the email
But it can't make someone trust you
High EQ plus AI
Honey, that's what we can do
Yappy Hour
Nineteen ninety-nine, I went down to the shelter
Came home with a Russian Blue and a Maltese, helter-skelter
Pasha and Lucky were my two brand-new roommates
But I kept thinking 'bout the ones behind the gates
How do we get them out?
How do we fix this?
Make doing good FUN, that's the Chief Pet Officer's business
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Bring your dog and bring your heart
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Meet a pup who needs a start
Howl-o-Ween and St. Pawtrick's Day
The puns were mandatory, hey!
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Let's get every dog adopted today
Paws for Style put rescue dogs right on the runway
In couture, before pet fashion ever had its day
We weren't following a trend, no, we were making one
And Lucky posed with three hundred sixty-three stars, what fun
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Bring your dog and bring your heart
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Meet a pup who needs a start
Howl-o-Ween and St. Pawtrick's Day
The puns were mandatory, hey!
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Let's get every dog adopted today
Then Baby Hope got married in twenty-twelve
To Chilly, a purple-haired poodle, go on and laugh yourself
Every ticket helped the animals, a critical care ward
Most valuable pet wedding, Guinness put it on the board
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Bring your dog and bring your heart
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Meet a pup who needs a start
Howl-o-Ween and St. Pawtrick's Day
The puns were mandatory, hey!
It's Yappy Hour, Yappy Hour
Let's get every dog adopted today
Thank You for Being So Crazy
My father was a builder, he would win and lose
Built a business, lost it all, then started something new
He could be kind, and in the end he left
And he taught me more than he ever meant to
Our home was funny, home was chaos, in equal parts
I read a room before I read a single book
Watching him I learned exactly what to do
And watching him I learned what not to do
Thank you for being so crazy
'Cause if you hadn't been, I wouldn't be me
Everything we go through turns to something
In a day, a year, a decade, you'll see
Thank you for being so crazy
I told you, and I meant every word
The hard parts weren't easy, but they made me
Thank you for being so crazy
Years later, you were dying, and I looked at you
I told you I was grateful, every word was true
It doesn't mean the hard parts were easy, God knows
It's how I make sense of my life, you know
Thank you for being so crazy
'Cause if you hadn't been, I wouldn't be me
Everything we go through turns to something
In a day, a year, a decade, you'll see
Thank you for being so crazy
I told you, and I meant every word
The hard parts weren't easy, but they made me
Thank you for being so crazy
Start Ugly
That idea you keep almost starting, sitting on the shelf
Waiting on a perfect logo, waiting on a better self
Nobody's gonna knock and say it's your turn to live
The permission you've been waiting for was yours to give
Start now! Start now!
Start ugly! Start ugly!
Just start! Just start!
Pretty comes later
Start with your heart
Build the ugliest version that actually works
Start now, start ugly, just start!
Ask your AI cofounder for the smallest, ugliest test
Seven days and zero dollars, then you do the rest
Do Day One tonight, you don't need to feel ready
Seventeen or seventy, grab the wheel and hold it steady
Start now! Start now!
Start ugly! Start ugly!
Just start! Just start!
Pretty comes later
Start with your heart
Build the ugliest version that actually works
Start now, start ugly, just start!
Money is a tool, it isn't the starting gun
You are the starting gun, so go on, run!
Start now! Start now!
Start ugly! Start ugly!
Just start! Just start!
Pretty comes later
Start with your heart
Build the ugliest version that actually works
Start now, start ugly, just start!
WE DO IT
Twenty-thirteen, I flew down to Honduras
Keeping my promise, two new countries every year
Asked what there was to do besides the birds
Met the women there, and stayed for days right here
A grandma, seventy-two, raising three grandkids on her own
A hundred-dollar loan opened the window of her home
Sold sodas and toothpaste on a one-room dirt floor
And that sent three children through the schoolhouse door
Not a handout, it's a hand up
That's the dare inside the name
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
It's WE, not ME
From one day at the United Nations
To a hundred forty-four countries
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
Lift her up and set her free
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
It's WE, not ME
November nineteen, twenty-fourteen, our first summit at the UN
The parking-lot girl, still not over it, my friend
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
It's WE, not ME
From one day at the United Nations
To a hundred forty-four countries
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
Lift her up and set her free
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
It's WE, not ME
One in ten women living in extreme poverty
Nobody should have to wait a hundred twenty-three years
Give her education, capital, mentors and AI
One woman with almost nothing lifts a thousand more behind
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
It's WE, not ME
From one day at the United Nations
To a hundred forty-four countries
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
Lift her up and set her free
WE DO IT! WE DO IT!
It's WE, not ME
Grab the Leash
Lucky turned my whole life around
Baby Hope gave me the silliest wedding in town
And now there's Happy, right here by my side
Different dogs, different chapters, same love, same ride
They don't care about the deal or who called back
No pitch deck required, just puppy love, that's that
So close the computer and grab the leash
Smell the fresh air, say hello down the street
Let your dog sniff one tree for seven minutes
For no reason at all
AI never takes a vacation
But your dog still needs a walk
So LIVE! LIVE!
AI can write it, price it, market it and more
It can't hug you, can't come knocking at your door
Only we can say I believe in you
That's still our job, that's what people do
They don't care about the deal or who called back
No pitch deck required, just puppy love, that's that
So close the computer and grab the leash
Smell the fresh air, say hello down the street
Let your dog sniff one tree for seven minutes
For no reason at all
AI never takes a vacation
But your dog still needs a walk
So LIVE! LIVE!
If you told that parking-lot girl about this life
Ups and downs, slammed doors, the hand up she'd give
She'd never believe it, but I'd tell her anyway
I feel happy being ME, all I came to say
So close the computer and grab the leash
Smell the fresh air, say hello down the street
Let your dog sniff one tree for seven minutes
For no reason at all
Use AI to give yourself more time to be human
WE DO IT, now go LIVE!
