In today’s episode, I sat down with AI strategist and systems expert Tate to talk about what it really looks like to use AI strategically as a nine-to-five founder building a business on the side.

And no, we’re not talking about typing one sentence into ChatGPT and hoping for the best.

We’re talking about:✨ buying your time back✨ automating repetitive business tasks✨ using AI as a strategist, thought partner, and operator✨ building systems that help you scale without hiring a huge team✨ and learning how to actually become AI literate in a world that is rapidly changing

This conversation honestly blew my mind because even though I already use AI heavily in my business, Tate introduced me to tools and systems that completely changed how I think about productivity, delegation, and scaling sustainably.
