TOGETHER WITH

Good morning, Danville. Our son wanted to share a joke with our readers: Why was the cell phone scared to go to the dentist…?

He didn’t want him to remove his blue tooth.

Good job, buddy! 👦

Are you a business owner with leads that never closed?

We have personalized conversations over text with your aged leads to book you more meetings and get you more business.

How does it work?

1️⃣ You give us a list of dusty, old leads you are not working.
2️⃣ We start having conversations with them via text using custom AI’s.
3️⃣ You get meetings booked directly into your calendar.

How many leads?

Start with 30 or 30,000. Doesn’t matter to us. Is your business in a position to handle more customers? 💰

Cost?

We only charge when meetings are booked into your calendar, without you lifting a finger, at a fraction of what you are paying for them.

Best part?

My brother and I run this business. Yes, me. 🙋‍♂️ The guy that writes these newsletters. And my younger brother (the technical guy that makes it all work).

Visit us at Leadvia.ai to reignite your aged leads!

THE DIGEST

Dog of the Week: Meet Luna 🐾 The 3-Legged Lovebug

Say hello to Luna—a tripod pup with a giant heart and zero quit. Missing a leg? She hardly notices. Luna’s full of spirit, tail wags, and charm that wins everyone over in about 5 seconds.

She settled right into her foster home (with a dog and four cats, no less) and brings confident, cuddly energy everywhere she goes. Luna is fully potty trained, loves car rides (just needs a boost), and enjoys daily walks at her own steady pace—she’s all about the cruise, not the sprint.

She’s a total sweetheart with people and just gets a little barky when meeting new dogs—more excited than anything. A slow intro and she’s golden.

✅ Knows commands
✅ Great recall
✅ Loves being close to her humans
✅ A sucker for belly rubs and ear scratches

Luna would thrive in a home with rugs or carpet to help her move around comfortably, and a backyard to explore would be the cherry on top.

Looking for a loyal shadow with a wagging tail and a heart of gold? Luna’s your girl. 💛

📅 Luna has been at the shelter since February 2025
