AI isn't just changing how businesses create content—it's completely transforming how entrepreneurs operate behind the scenes. In this episode, Kehla sits down with business backend architect Jill for a practical conversation about the AI workflows that are helping them reclaim hours every week. Together, they explore how tools like Claude, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, and AI-powered automations are simplifying everything from organizing emails and files to analyzing client calls, tracking KPIs, generating leads, auditing content, and building CEO dashboards that would have previously taken days to create. Rather than focusing on surface-level AI prompts, Jill shares why specificity is the real superpower and how creating custom skills and automations allows business owners to step out of daily operations and into true leadership. Kehla also shares how she's using AI across her own business to create a more cohesive brand, streamline sales outreach, and eliminate repetitive tasks without sacrificing authenticity. If you've been wondering how to move beyond using AI for content creation and start leveraging it as a strategic business partner, this conversation will leave you with practical ideas you can implement immediately to work smarter, create more capacity, and spend more time doing the work that actually grows your business.

It's the 300th anniversary episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show!  Save time, money, and a state of mind with the 701x autonomous rancher. Plus, opening the border to Mexican cattle and the markets, what could happen. Join me Jeff “Tigger” Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew for this all-new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. 701X Autonomous Rancher The 701x Autonomous Rancher platform is transforming how cattle producers manage their operations by combining powerful herd management software with GPS-enabled smart ear tags and real-time livestock monitoring. Instead of relying on handwritten notes or time-consuming pasture checks, ranchers can monitor animal location, health, breeding activity, calving events, treatments, financial records, and pasture performance from a smartphone, tablet, or computer—even when working offline in a remote country. Solar-powered GPS tags with cellular and satellite connectivity help keep producers connected to their herd regardless of pasture location, while automated alerts and detailed reporting provide the data needed to make faster, more profitable management decisions. Designed for both commercial cow-calf producers and registered seedstock operations, the 701x Autonomous Rancher is helping modern ranches reduce labor, improve efficiency, and put actionable data to work every day.  xTPro - GPS Ear Tag from 701x The xTpro tag gives ranchers the ability to monitor location, breeding, and health insights of their adult animals in their herd - and make faster, more informed management decisions with that data. Developed with feedback directly from ranchers, the xTpro tag features a two-pin design, solar powered battery, as well as cellular and satellite connection - eliminating all questions of durability, manual charging, and the need for expensive base stations for the xTpro tag to work. We also throw in our commercial Herd Management Software for up to 500 animals, free of charge.

In Lafayette, Indiana, a small city with a population of just over 70,000, the local police force decided to try out a new AI tool sold by law enforcement tech giant Axon, the company with a $35 billion market cap best known for making the Taser. Called Form One, it promised to save officers time by listening to the audio from their body cameras, then filling out the administrative details of a police report: officers and citizens' names, ID documentation, license plates and other vehicle information. For Lafayette's captains who'd worked closely with Axon on previous AI projects, it seemed like a no-brainer. But after seven months of testing the technology, many of Lafayette's officers found the tool was wasting time, not saving it. “I know it doesn't save me time and I know it has inaccuracies that I will have to edit,” wrote one officer in a cache of emails obtained by Forbes via public records request. Form One struggled to record the right names or car plates, even when they were clearly stated in the camera footage, according to other emails. One cop said a simple form that used to take 30 seconds to fill out manually now takes three minutes with Form One because there are so many errors. “Form One dramatically increases the time it takes to finish reports,” he wrote to a colleague.

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lotus In this episode with KJ Dhaliwal of Lotus AI, you'll hear how translating his immigrant parents' doctor visits as a child and years spent bouncing through fragmented specialty care as a teenager after a disc herniation shaped his mission to give 100 million Americans free, world-class primary care using AI. KJ breaks down how Lotus AI pulls your entire medical history from every clinic and hospital you've ever visited in minutes, unifies it with your wearables and genetic data, and makes it available to both a conversational AI and a network of real licensed physicians who can diagnose you, prescribe treatment, and refer you to a specialist in under two minutes at any hour of the day. We also touch on why hospitals are quietly selling your health data to pharma, how the business model works when the product is free, and why KJ believes the AI-powered general doctor is not just possible but already happening. KJ Dhaliwal is the founder and CEO of Lotus AI. Before Lotus, he co-founded the largest South Asian dating app, which he grew and sold. At Lotus AI, his mission is to collapse the cost of healthcare delivery while making world-class primary care free and permanently accessible to every American. Download the Lotus AI app here.

Today I want to share one of my favourite little systems. It's something I teach my coaching clients, and once they start using it, they rarely go back. I call it the 20-Minute Meeting. Now before you think I'm suggesting you cut meetings short just for the sake of it, that's not what this is about. This is about recognizing that a client meeting doesn't end when you click "Leave Meeting." It ends when everything that came out of that meeting has been documented, assigned, communicated, and organized. Unfortunately, many VAs don't account for that part. Here's what typically happens. You schedule a 30-minute meeting with your client. The meeting runs right until the 30-minute mark. You say goodbye, jump straight into your next task, or maybe your next client call. Your notes stay scribbled on a notepad. The project management system doesn't get updated until later. The follow-up email sits in your inbox waiting to be written. Action items don't get assigned until the next day. Sometimes they don't get assigned at all. And if you're honest, how often do you end up doing all of that admin work later in the day without charging for it? You're still working because of that meeting, but the client's timer has stopped. You are working for free. That's where the 20-Minute Meeting comes in. Most client meetings don't need the full 30 minutes of discussion. All they need is direction. Sometimes it's the smallest systems that make the biggest difference in your business. The 20 Minute Meeting is a sample of one of those systems. When you focus on doing the right things in the right way, you get both. And you stop losing money by working for free. If you want help mapping out a great agenda that will help you work more efficiently, host shorter meetings, and deliver a polished summary and action steps to your client shortly after your meeting ends (without using AI), get in touch with me and we can book in one of my Quick Win private coaching calls. All you need is the framework and you can create the right agenda for each of your clients - I used to have a different agenda for every client, because they all had different things to focus on for their business. And we did the production meetings in 20 minutes! Even for my 6 and 7 figure business coaches. You can do it. It works. I hope you try! Thanks so much for tuning in to this week's episode of The Ridiculously Good VA Show. If this episode gave you one practical idea you can use today, I'd love it if you'd subscribe, leave a review, or share it with another VA who could benefit from it. And if I can help you take a step forward, reach out to me. Send me a DM or book a Quick Win coaching call today.

⏰ Feeling overwhelmed in your dental practice? You may not need more team members—you may just need better systems. In this episode, Dayna Johnson shares one of the most impactful lessons from her nationwide Dentrix User Meetings: four practical ways dental teams can buy back time, reduce stress, and improve efficiency. Drawing from real conversations with office managers and practice owners, Dayna explains how stronger workflows, automation, and accurate data can transform the way your practice operates. Whether you're using Dentrix or another dental practice management software, these strategies will help your team spend less time scrambling and more time delivering an exceptional patient experience. ✅ Key Takeaways Shift from scramble time to preparation time with better pre-visit workflows. Embrace automation for insurance eligibility, appointment confirmations, online scheduling, and patient forms. Trust and optimize your automation tools instead of creating manual workarounds. Build a team-wide commitment to accurate, complete data entry. Finish every task all the way to the finish line to prevent costly mistakes. Eliminate outdated pop-ups and keep patient records clean and relevant. Use the Office Journal and reminders instead of relying on memory. Apply the KISS Method (Keep It Super Simple) to create workflows that are easier to train, follow, and scale. Strong systems reduce stress, improve patient care, and create high-performing dental teams.

AI tools are evolving fast. One of the biggest shifts is the move from one-off prompts to reusable AI skills. Instead of rewriting the same instructions every time you use ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot, you can package your best workflows into portable skills that deliver consistent, repeatable results. In this special episode, recorded as the Digital Marketing Podcast celebrates its 16th anniversary, Daniel Rowles and Ciaran Rogers explore why AI skills could fundamentally change the way marketers work. They explain how skills fit alongside projects, agents and prompts, why they are becoming an emerging standard across the major AI platforms, and how to start building your own library of reusable expertise. Along the way, they also reflect on sixteen years of podcasting, discuss the rapid pace of AI adoption within organisations, and share practical advice for creating skills that become more valuable every time you use them. In This Episode How AI skills differ from prompts, projects and agents. Why reusable skills help create consistent marketing outputs across teams. How to build a brand skill that captures tone of voice, design principles and coding standards. Using skills to create websites, dashboards, articles and creative assets that stay on brand. Why updating a skill after every use makes it progressively more accurate. How skills can be shared between team members and even moved between AI platforms. The relationship between ChatGPT Agents, Claude Projects, Gemini Gems and Microsoft Copilot. How to turn your best prompts into reusable skills. Why marketers should organise AI conversations more deliberately as AI memory improves. Practical advice for creating libraries of reusable marketing workflows. Key Takeaways: Develop your best prompts first, then convert them into reusable skills. Treat skills as repeatable processes rather than one-off conversations. Build separate skills for different purposes, such as branding, content creation, web development or analysis. Use multiple skills together to combine different areas of expertise within a single task. Continuously refine your skills by asking AI to update them after each iteration. Think carefully about when to use a prompt, project, skill or agent depending on the task. Organise your AI workspace to avoid confusion as conversations and memories accumulate. Create shared skills that help maintain quality and consistency across your entire marketing team.

Opening Bible Verse:  Ezekiel 24:3-6 IF YOU ARE A NEW LISTENER, WELCOME! BEGIN HERE: This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast! It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It's only about 20 minutes and you'll meditate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  In March we decluttered your wardrobe. In April we are moving into budgeting for food. Our Saturday episodes will still be about decluttering. Our declutter focus area for April is your bedroom. In May we dreamed big!

Many association leaders volunteer because they genuinely care about helping their industry grow. The challenge is simple. Most volunteer leaders already have demanding full-time jobs, leaving little time to create new programs, improve member engagement, and think strategically about growth. In this episode of Grounding AI, Donna Peterson shares practical ways leaders can use artificial intelligence to help industry associations work smarter while building stronger member relationships. You will learn how AI can help organizations: • Review and repurpose existing content • Improve outdated webinars, presentations, and educational materials • Create stronger member surveys • Generate better event ideas based on member interests • Identify new audience segments for membership growth • Build stronger engagement through more personalized experiences The goal is not replacing human relationships. The goal is helping volunteer leaders save time so they can focus on building stronger communities. AI works best when it helps organizations think better, communicate better, and serve people better. If you lead an association, nonprofit, membership organization, or volunteer leadership team, this episode will give you practical ideas you can apply immediately.

Summer doesn't just make pools warmer. It makes them harder to manage, easier to mess up, and way more visible to the people paying the bill. We talk through what really changes once swim season arrives: heavier bather loads, more sunscreen and organics, faster chlorine loss, and a sharp rise in “can you come today?” customer calls before parties and weekends.We also get practical about keeping water clear when conditions get extreme. You'll hear our take on “chlorine enhancers” that help chlorine last longer by preventing algae and reducing what chlorine has to fight, including borates (around 30 to 50 ppm), mineral options like PoolRx (with key cautions around high chlorine when it's dissolving), and the one-two punch of enzymes plus phosphate removal. If you've been chasing cloudy water, fighting recurring algae, or watching free chlorine disappear midweek, these tools can act like an insurance policy during peak heat.Then we zoom out to the summer math: why the common “lose 1 ppm of free chlorine per day” idea can fall apart under a high UV index, warm water, and active swimmers, and how to use a CYA-based minimum target like the 7.5% guideline to stay ahead of problems. If you want stronger summer pool maintenance habits, better chlorine stability, and fewer emergency cleanups, this one is built for you.Subscribe for more pool care and pool service pro tips, share this with a friend who's battling summer water, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What's the biggest problem you see every summer: algae, low chlorine, or customer pressure?Summer pool care gets harder because swim season changes everything, from bather load to UV burn-off to how fast chlorine can drop. We share the practical tools we use to keep pools clear under pressure, including chlorine enhancers, smarter chlorine targets, and a mindset that expects more customer calls.  • swim season timing shifts and why that affects pool routes  • bather load as the biggest summer variable for water balance  • chlorine enhancers that help prevent algae forming  • borates at roughly 30 to 50 ppm as an algaestat and pH buffer  • PoolRx mineral technology and why high chlorine matters at startup  • enzymes plus phosphate remover as the one-two punch  • UV index, warm water, and long days accelerating chlorine loss  • the 7.5% free chlorine to CYA guideline and how borates can change the target  • why summer brings more complaints and last-minute party urgency  Join the pool guy coaching program.

Why is wasted time the most expensive cost in business? In Episode 251 of Talkin' Shop with ShopSabre, hosts Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters explain why time — not broken machines, material costs, or competition — is the single resource a business can never recover once it's spent.   This episode covers the real-world cost of poor follow-through in manufacturing and the trades: unanswered quote requests, ignored emails, missed meetings, and delayed decisions. ShopSabre is an American CNC manufacturer based in Lakeville, Minnesota that builds CNC routers, plasma tables, and fiber lasers, and Brandon draws directly on what the ShopSabre sales team sees every day to illustrate how wasted time compounds.   Brandon answers a key question: why does ignoring a small problem cost so much more later? He walks through how one avoided a five-minute conversation — like not addressing an employee who shows up late — can snowball into missed deadlines, lost team trust, employee turnover, and ultimately a lost customer. The takeaway: clarity beats slow uncertainty every time, and reliability, not brilliance, is what builds a business reputation.   The episode also answers two listener questions. First, the difference between vacuum and CFM on a vacuum pump: vacuum measures how hard the pump pulls and holds the part, while CFM measures how much air it moves to overcome leakage on porous materials. Brandon explains why ShopSabre recommends Becker vacuum pumps — they run quieter, last longer in dusty woodworking environments, and deliver the highest pressure rating head-to-head for the money. Second, why sharing your full quote matters: customers who actually compare line-by-line quotes usually find ShopSabre delivers more value, not just a lower sticker price.   This episode is for CNC shop owners, cabinet makers, metal fabricators, and any small business owner who wants to stop losing time, money, and customers to broken communication. 00:00 - Why Wasted Time Quietly Costs Businesses Thousands Every Year 03:11 - Time Is the Most Expensive Currency: Why You Can't Earn It Back 06:30 - Working Smarter Should Feel Like Cheating: Using Resources to Save Time 07:16 - Vacuum vs. CFM Explained: Why Vacuum Holds the Part, Not Airflow 10:15 - Why ShopSabre Recommends Becker Vacuum Pumps Over Cheaper Imports 12:23 - Why Sharing Your Full Quote Wins More Deals Than a Low Price 16:00 - Why Follow-Through Has Become the Rarest Skill in Business 24:58 - How Saying "No" Honestly Opens the Door to a Better Outcome 30:30 - How One Avoided 5-Minute Conversation Snowballs Into Lost Customers 33:16 - Why Reliability Beats Brilliance: Reputation Is Built on Consistency 38:35 - The Takeaway: Time Is Expensive Financially, Mentally, and Emotionally 42:25 - Why Communication Is a Lost Art: The Race Helmet Story 46:09 - Final Word: Respect Time, Honor Commitments, Keep Building #ShopSabre #TalkinShop #CNC #CNCRouter #SmallBusiness #TimeManagement #Manufacturing #Woodworking #BusinessGrowth #CNCMachine #ShopLife #Entrepreneur #MadeInUSA #Fabrication #BusinessTips Discover all our CNC machines and accessories: https://www.shopsabre.com/  Follow ShopSabre for daily updates, tutorials, and expert tips:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shopsabre Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shopsabre Twitter/X: https://x.com/ShopSabreCNC  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shopsabre  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shopsabre-cnc/  Since 2000, ShopSabre CNC has delivered high-quality CNC routers, plasma cutters, and laser engraving machines built in the USA to businesses and hobbyists worldwide.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way executives work—but not in the way many people think. According to discussions across LinkedIn and the executive assistant community, the most effective approach is often a hybrid one: using AI to handle repetitive administrative and data-heavy tasks while allowing Executive Assistants to focus on strategic organization, judgment, communication, and relationship management. The goal isn't replacing people—it's helping them operate at a higher level. (LinkedIn) This week, I sat down with Harley Green, CEO of InvestAway and Workergenix, to explore how business owners, investors, and executives can use leverage—both technological and financial—to create more freedom and better results. Harley brings a unique perspective because he's lived every side of the investment journey. A former computer engineer turned real estate entrepreneur, he built his experience through house flipping, BRRRR strategies, private lending, and creative capital deployment. From utilizing HELOCs and infinite banking concepts to strategically selling properties and redeploying capital into lending opportunities, Harley understands how money can be put to work efficiently and effectively. Today, through InvestAway, he helps investors generate returns through short-term, real estate-backed lending opportunities. At the same time, through Workergenix, he helps overwhelmed business owners reclaim between 15 and 30 hours each week by pairing them with AI-powered Executive Assistants who manage inboxes, scheduling, reporting, follow-ups, coordination, and other critical operational tasks. As Harley explains, many executives don't suffer from a lack of ambition—they suffer from a lack of bandwidth. Too often, leaders spend their days trapped in execution rather than focused on vision, growth, and leadership. Workergenix was built to solve that problem by providing dedicated support that operates inside existing business systems while ensuring accountability and follow-through. During our conversation, we discuss: • Why AI works best as an enhancement rather than a replacement for human judgment • How Executive Assistants are evolving into strategic business partners • The biggest operational bottlenecks holding leaders back • Creative strategies for raising and deploying capital • Lessons learned from real estate investing, private lending, and entrepreneurship • How delegation creates freedom, scalability, and growth • What it takes to successfully run multiple businesses while traveling internationally and raising a family Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to buy back your time, an executive searching for operational efficiency, or an investor seeking new ways to grow your capital, this conversation offers practical insights on building systems that create both income and freedom. Join us for an engaging discussion on the intersection of AI, organizational efficiency, real estate investing, leadership, and wealth creation with Harley Green.   For more information: https://www.investaway.co/ Discover More: https://workergenix.com/ LinkedIn: @HarleyGreen Listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scale-smart-grow-fast/id1770366237 Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailAI in nonprofit fundraising strategy is transforming how organizations operate—but using it incorrectly can damage donor relationships and trust. In this conversation, Katie Gaston of Bloomerang opens the box with practical guidance on how to use AI effectively while avoiding the most common pitfalls.Nonprofit professionals are increasingly turning to AI tools for donor research, reporting, and communications. The opportunity is clear: faster workflows, better insights, and increased capacity. But as Katie explains, AI is not a replacement for human judgment—it's a tool to enhance it. “AI should be a supportive arm… but it should never replace your judgment as a fundraiser.”From donor asks to personalized stewardship, the human connection remains at the core of successful fundraising. AI can prepare you for meetings, surface insights, and even recommend strategies—but it cannot replicate the emotional intelligence required in critical moments.This episode also addresses key operational risks.

He explained how AI is being used in police work now and whether or not AI has become a time-saving tool for officers.

If you use social media in your practice and it takes a lot of time and/or doesn't generate many actual patients, then this episode is for you. The appeal of AI is obvious for this delima: it can save time, speed up content creation, and help you get more mileage out of what you already produce.  But there is also a real risk here, and it is one a lot of practice owners are starting to run into. When AI is used too heavily or too lazily, your content starts to feel generic, impersonal, non-human, and easy to ignore. That is what this episode is really about. It is not about whether AI is good or bad. It is about how to use it in a way that makes your marketing more efficient without stripping out the human quality that actually builds trust and gets people to pick up the phone or DM your practice.  What You'll Learn in This Episode Why fully AI-generated social media content often underperforms How to use AI to save time without losing authenticity How a few simple videos can become weeks of useful content What still needs to stay human if you want social media to actually generate patients USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Cash-Based Practice Freedom 2.0

In this episode of the WIIRE podcast, we dig into practical, real-world ways female real estate investors are using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to save time, money, and stress—without losing the human touch that makes real estate a relationship business. We start with the ethics: why you should always be transparent about using AI, why you must verify everything it produces (especially legal, tax, and financial content), and how to keep building your own skills instead of outsourcing your thinking to a bot. You'll hear specific examples from women in the WIIRE Community who use AI to draft clearer, kinder tenant communications, translate for Spanish-speaking tenants, summarize confusing contractor explanations, and turn Loom videos into SOPs. We also cover using AI to read zoning ordinances and city codes, compare construction budgets and bids, analyze complex invoices, build simple financial analysis spreadsheets, and even negotiate inspection repairs—like one member who used AI-generated reports and photos to secure a $70K price reduction on a triplex.  On the creative side, we talk about AI for rental design and furnishing checklists, direct mail marketing campaigns, investor pitch decks, and even rough revenue models for potential campground or glamping sites. You'll also hear how one investor used AI to calculate her exact FIRE number and design her ideal snowbird lifestyle. Finally, we touch on real estate–specific tools like TurboTenant's AI maintenance bot and how AI can help with insurance questions and refunds, positioning AI as your smartest “employee” that doesn't need a W2—but always needs your oversight.     Resources: Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Get in touch with Envy Investment Group Check out Steadily for all your rental property insurance needs Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram
