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.

If you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur, you’re already wearing too many hats. Add the pressure of learning and implementing AI to that, and it’s likely the thing that will cause you to entirely unhinge.

Ah, AI-generated drafts. They’re efficient, logical, and occasionally… a little too, dare I say, robotic. Here are some hilariously obvious signs your draft needs a human edit, stat - because no matter how good AI gets, there are things it just doesn’t get right.

What if the key to unlocking your dream life was just a question away? With ChatGPT, that might not be such a far-fetched idea. Generative AI is not just for helping you write emails or brainstorm business ideas - it’s a powerful second brain to help you design the life you’ve always wanted.

When you think about adopting AI for your business, it’s easy to imagine a complex, feature-heavy system that requires a massive amount of your time and attention. AI has an almost mythical aura around it: the buzzwords, the multitude of capabilities, the promises to revolutionize every aspect of your business. But here’s a secret to it that is not something we talk about enough: less is more. Think minimal.

AI can be transformative, yet there’s an underlying fear many entrepreneurs have: Will using AI cause me to lose my unique voice? 

It’s a valid concern. We live in an age where generative AI can create content at lightning speed, but speed shouldn’t come at the cost of authenticity.

Instead of fighting AI, what if we collaborated? 
What if AI wasn’t a threat to creativity, but a way to amplify it?

I take you through how to use AI as your second brain, a creative partner that enhances your storytelling without overshadowing the personal touch. If you’ve ever felt the tension between automation and authenticity, this episode is for you.

I want to take a moment to tell you about something I’m deeply passionate about: supporting other small business owners 🌱 The internet is a hard and often lonely place, where getting noticed can feel like shouting into the void. 

The struggle to be found is real.

If you look beneath the surface at how the wider market is reacting to artificial intelligence, you’ll find a mix of hope and unease. In our latest episode of AI Literacy for Entrepreneurs, we tackle the dual nature of AI, and we do it through an uncomfortable metaphor - nuclear technology. What we like to call ‘The Oppenheimer Paradox’.
