This morning, we released the final edition of the JAM CQ newsletter for 2024, and we couldn’t be more excited! In just a few short months, we’ve built something we’re incredibly proud of at JAM CQ.

Last article👉 https://www.jamcq.com/p/2025-jamcq-goals-changes

In this edition, we’re thrilled to reveal some of the B2B products we’ve been creating—tools designed to reshape how we connect, communicate, and thrive in the global workplace.

Our star player? AJ, our culturally intelligent AI tool—named after us, Alice and Jenny. AJ isn’t about fluffy concepts or vague ideals; it’s about delivering results. Cultural intelligence is a hard skill, and AJ makes it accessible. Whether you’re closing deals, managing diverse teams, or negotiating across cultures, AJ helps you communicate smarter, work sharper, and deliver stronger outcomes.

We’ve built AJ to address what most workplace tools miss: the real dynamics of intercultural human interaction. By combining proven models of cultural communication with the missing layers—like femininity, race, and nuanced social cues—AJ gives you a tangible advantage in today’s interconnected world. As someone who has gone through diplomatic training, Jenny dares to say AJ has what foreign service training misses—this tool makes you not just better, but competitive.

2024 was just the beginning. In 2025, we’re rolling out AJ to those on our waitlist (sign up if you haven’t already!) and diving deep into global trends and workplace skill-building. 💰 💸 And yes, we’re fundraising in January—and we’re ready to meet investors who understand the value of being ahead of the curve.

We dropped an article on the elder care crisis in the United States, exploring how people from different parts of the world and cultures are addressing this issue. It sparked some fascinating conversations about how the elderly are treated across various societies and cultural contexts. Spoiler: People think Americans could use some improvement in this area.

I want to thank everyone who shared their feedback and subscribed to our weekly newsletter, where we cover topics at the intersection of culture and industry. The response and engagement have been incredible—thank you!

This is a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to bring it to light and hear your perspectives
