What happens when you stop overthinking AI and just start using it?

In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Theodorou, founder of Teach2AI, whose approach to everything from leaving the classroom to building a business proves that action trumps analysis every time.

Just a few years ago, Sophie was teaching middle school math and science in Winnipeg. Today, she's built a community of 100,000+ and trains teams at companies like Adobe, Samsung, and Google.

Sophie's secret? She doesn't overthink it. She tries it.

We dive into how a four-minute off-the-cuff TikTok generated $40,000 in affiliate revenue, why authenticity beats perfection in content creation, and how her "learning by doing" philosophy transforms how people approach AI and everything else.

What You’ll Learn

Why Doing Beats Thinking: How Sophie's action-first mindset helped her pivot from teaching to building a six-figure AI education business.

The Authenticity Advantage: How showing up as yourself, not a perfectly scripted version, builds trust, deepens connection, and drives real growth online.

AI as a Collaborator, Not a Crutch: How to use AI as a creative partner that amplifies your humanity rather than replacing it.

Making AI Simple: Sophie's framework for cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually works in your business.

Sophie proves that the best way to understand AI isn't to study it endlessly. It's to experiment with it. Her story is a reminder that curiosity beats credentials, doing beats thinking, and showing up as you are beats trying to be perfect.
