🦆 Duck Quote of the Week

"Everyone's quacking about AI taking over marketing. Meanwhile, ducks know the real automation is having the courage to say no to unnecessary meetings."

📊 Weird Duck Stats

"73% of marketers report burnout from 'always-on' AI tools, but 100% of ducks maintain work-life balance by using AI like a pond – dive in when needed, float when not."

🤔 What The Duck Moment

ChatGPT plugins are spawning faster than ducklings in spring. Every marketer's posting about their "revolutionary AI workflow" that somehow takes 6 hours to set up. Here's the truth: if your AI system needs a YouTube tutorial longer than a duck's attention span, you're doing it wrong.
