b'This week, in episode 168, Shawn Busse, Paul Downs, and Liz Picarazzi talk about when it makes sense to walk away from a client. Liz, for example, is tired of dealing with bureaucracy and being at the bottom of the food chain. In one instance, she was so turned off that she actually recommended a competitor for a job she no longer wanted. Paul has a simple test: If it\\u2019s easy work for a bad client, okay, fine. But if it\\u2019s hard work for a bad client, \\u201cJust don\\u2019t do it.\\u201d Of course, there are times in the life cycle of most businesses when that\\u2019s easier said than done, when you have to accept almost any work offered. Those are the tough ones. Plus: Is it time for business owners to take artificial intelligence seriously? And should owners care that a well-known economics firm is predicting a depression in 2030?'
