The AI Gap Isn't Time, It's Motion

🎧 FEATURED PODCAST EPISODE

Episode 242: Prototype > Perfection - Deborah Carraro on Learning AI by Doing

In this episode, I sat down with Deborah Carraro, a long-time educator, founder of ideborah, and AI Lead at Coralus. She’s helping early-stage entrepreneurs and changemakers develop creative confidence with AI - not just competence.

What we covered:
– how small experiments with AI build trust and momentum
– why early-stage business is the perfect place to test emerging tools
– what’s working inside values-based innovation ecosystems like Coralus
– and how to spot the difference between using AI well and using it to avoid thinking

🧠 TAKEAWAYS FOR FOUNDERS

– You don’t need to wait until you’re “ready”
– Use tools to amplify your ideas, not replace them
– Start small - a Canva workflow here, a content draft there - and build from there
– Trust your curiosity more than your credentials

🔁 INSIDE THE MARKETING POWER CIRCLE

Need inspiration on what small AI wins look like in practice?
Here’s one from an MPC member just 2 months in: “Since joining Susan’s MPC AI Mastermind, I’ve created 5 custom GPTs - each one a mini team member!”

Her fave? Brainstormie 🤖
A GPT that turns messy thoughts into sharp Social posts.

She’s also built tools that:
– repurpose long-form content
– speed up client work
– write case studies
– experiment with articles

“These tools help me move faster, think clearer, and show up more consistently. They reflect my growth.”

That’s what implementation looks like.
That’s what MPC was built for.
