- [00:41–01:56]

- Aisha: “‘Revert’ means we believe everyone is born Muslim and we’re just returning to our faith.” (00:57)

3. The Power of Automation for Small Businesses
- [05:15–07:21]
-
Aisha: “Most people just think AI is ChatGPT, but that’s the tip of the iceberg … My job is creating automations so businesses can finish at 5 o’clock, go home, but still be generating leads, answering calls, booking appointments, 24/7.” (05:15)
-
AI isn’t just about replacing human work—it automates repetitive tasks, freeing people for higher-value efforts.

4. Case Study: Improving Customer Service with AI
- [08:02–12:37]
- Mitch recounts a poor experience with a dental receptionist, questioning how AI could improve such scenarios.
- Aisha: “You’d book an appointment via a calendar. The calendar would send reminders ... attach patient info sheets pre-appointment … All documentation is already done.” (09:32)
- AI can streamline customer experience and post-service follow-up:
“AI can do ... the follow-ups, do the reviews, get the feedback ... all part of statistics for your business.” (12:40) - Key insight: “If you don’t implement [AI] in your business, you will be left behind.” (13:37)
5. Coaching Revert Women: Where to Begin

- Aisha: “It would start with mindset. Doing a discovery call, determining ... what they want, where they want to go, their goals, their time frames…” (14:00)
- Many Muslim women hesitate to be publicly visible; AI tools enable faceless marketing, content creation, and income—empowering women to honor personal or cultural boundaries while still succeeding.

- Importance of recognition beyond friends/family: “Friends and family are expected to support ... but a stranger, a publisher, that’s true validation.” (17:35–20:06)
8. How to Stay Ahead in a Fast-Changing World
- [20:20–22:31]
- Mitch defines personal and professional growth as “stretching the rubber band”—once expanded, you never fully return to your previous limitations.
- Mitch: “You just have to do it. Once you stretch a rubber band, it never goes back. Whether that’s starting a podcast, writing a book ... Just take the step.” (20:52)
- Stresses the value of paid mentorship:
“A mentor is somebody you pay ... Without feeling the sting of financial payment, you’re not as motivated.” (22:31)
9. The Unique Strengths Women Bring to Entrepreneurship
- [23:38–31:36]
- Mitch: “Without yin, there is no yang ... I don’t draw a distinction between men and women at the outset ... but women excel at multitasking.” (23:38)
- Women’s multitasking abilities highlighted in both domestic and manufacturing settings.
- “Men fail. The dexterity of a man can never match a woman,” especially in intricate tasks. (26:40)
- Communication, oral skills, and trust-building also cited as strengths more commonly observed in women.
- “First voice we hear is our mother’s ... If you can lean into what has already been given to you through our creator ... women can naturally excel.” (30:55–31:36)
10. Breaking Through Societal and Self-Imposed Barriers
- [32:05–35:35]
- Mitch: “I’m a recovered alcoholic ... and two things are key: prayer and/or meditation, and service—helping others selflessly.” (32:05)
- Warns against performative charity: “Posting that on social media is a little bit narcissistic ... Help other people selflessly.”
