podcast inspiration + IRL patio vibes - say yes to both!

There’s something quietly fascinating happening in the workplace right now.

More people are using AI than they’re admitting. Especially in mission-driven spaces like nonprofits, small consultancies, and founder-led teams. It’s not that they’re anti-tech - far from it. But the cultural norms, the governance, the frameworks? They’re still catching up.

what if AI isn’t stealing your job - but saving your sanity?

today ai feels like that early fridge. 

powerful, misunderstood, and a little scary.

humans fear the machine because we picture a binary outcome: domination or d3ath.

what if the future of business isn’t about more tech - but deeper connection?

AI is not your strategy.
You are.

As founder-led teams, we often wear every hat. 
Strategy. 
Sales. 
Operations. 
Content. 

When AI burst onto the scene, it promised to ease that load. And it can.

But here’s where things go sideways: people let the tools sail the ship.

Breaking down the three core concepts every founder-led team needs to understand to build a meaningful relationship with AI. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into AI or looking to sharpen your implementation strategy, this is your no-fluff starting point.

Let’s cut through the noise.
AI isn’t going to save your business.
But you? 

Equipped with AI? 

That changes everything.

April's buzzing with strategic conversations on AI! I’m thrilled to be speaking at two exciting events in April. Both designed to get beyond AI hype, straight into actionable, growth-driven strategies.

In another insightful episode of AI Literacy for Entrepreneurs, I sat down with Steph Sedgwick, founder of Clarity Web Design, to talk about what truly makes a website effective in the evolving digital landscape.

Let’s talk about something that’s going to shake up your business this spring: Custom GPTs. And no, I’m not talking about building a public chatbot for the masses and charging peanuts to strangers online (yawn). 

I’m talking about developing powerful, private AI systems that are laser-focused on your workflows - so you can 100x the strategy and execution that already make your business awesome.

This week on the ‘AI Literacy for Entrepreneurs’ podcast, I sat down with Executive Style Strategist Renee Lindo to explore how to show up authentically as a personal brand in a world with AI. 

As entrepreneurs, the line between "work" and "life" can blur faster than a Friday night Instagram doomscroll. We're always connected, always reachable - and too often, always overwhelmed. This always-on culture might promise productivity, but in reality, it delivers burnout and fragmented focus

Ever feel like the world is running at 2x speed while you’re just trying to keep up? Entrepreneurship is a 24/7 gig, and if you’re not careful, burnout sneaks in before you even realize it.

If AI is about efficiency, can it also help you protect your time, energy, and well-being?

AI is refining the storytelling game for businesses. This week on AI Literacy for Entrepreneurs, I sat down with Dori Adams, founder of shutterb, the Uber of content creators, connecting event hosts with local photographers and videographers who capture authentic moments - all with just their smartphones 📸

The workplace is changing. Fast.

AI is no longer just a cool tool - it’s an essential collaborator. But while many business owners and entrepreneurs are busy worrying if AI will replace jobs, the real question should be: How can leaders evolve to work alongside AI, not against it?n.

This week, I’ve been deep in the AI conversation - both inside classrooms and out in the world. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this: AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a shift in how we think, work, and create. And if you’re still on the fence about where you fit into all this, now’s the time to jump in.

For most folks, AI starts as a task-doer - writing captions, summarizing emails, automating small bits of work. 

And that’s fine… at first. 

But if that’s all you’re using it for, you’re leaving 90% of AI’s potential on the table(t).

I’ve packed this lil AI love note with fresh AI ideas, AI techniques, and thought-provoking AI insights to help you leverage artificial intelligence (as opposed to artificial stupidity) in your business and life.

Despite AI’s seeming ubiquity, myths about it continue to hold many people back from fully embracing its potential. Let’s debunk five of the most persistent AI myths and pave the way for smarter, more creative applications of AI in your business.
