What Tasks I Hand to AI (And What I Won't)

Sat, 03 Oct 2026 09:00:00 -0500

The moment automation clicks, most people want to automate everything. And some of the worst content on the internet right now is coming from exactly that. In this episode, Steph covers how to use AI strategically: what to hand off, what to keep, and how to tell the difference.

You'll hear:

The four-word rule Steph's business runs on: AI drafts, you decide
The "repeat and resent" test for building your automation list
Why you should automate ONE thing first (and why the feedback loop is where the magic happens)
How to be strategic about AI usage limits
The context ceiling: why the more you hand off, the more your AI needs one central brain

Mentioned in this episode:

🤖 AI Your Business - Steph's live session where we set up this whole foundation together in real time (replay included if you're listening after the live)

📥 The Daily Inbox Triage Skill - if the inbox is your "repeat and resent" task, grab the exact skill Steph uses every day

🧠 The AI Brain Workshop - where we go deep on building that central brain for your AI

How To Use AI as a Team Member In Your Business

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 09:00:00 -0500

At 7:04 this morning, Steph's AI finished going through her inbox and had six replies drafted in her voice before she even sat down. In this episode, she breaks down why your AI probably isn't doing anything like that for you yet, and the one shift that changes it: stop treating AI like a typist for hire and start onboarding it like a team member.

You'll hear:

Why every AI draft sounds generic (and why it's not the tool's fault)
The two things your AI needs before drafts stop needing fixes: your business context and your actual voice
The rule Steph's whole business runs on: AI drafts, she decides
What a scheduled task is, and the story of a client with ADHD who went from closing the app in overwhelm to running her inbox automation multiple times a day

Mentioned in this episode:

🤖 AI Your Business - Steph's live beginner session where you leave with this whole setup done (replay included if you're listening after the live)

📥 The Daily Inbox Triage Skill - the exact system from the client story in this episode, ready to install

Your AI Doesn't Know You...But This Fixes It

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 09:00:00 -0500

Your AI tells you the wrong price for your own offer, builds a sales page in colors that aren't your brand, and says it all with total confidence. It's not broken. It just doesn't know you.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why you keep re-explaining your business to AI, what it's really costing you, and the fix: an AI brain that holds all of your business context in one place.

In this episode:

Why AI confidently gets your business details wrong
The hidden cost of re-explaining yourself: time, usage limits, and your energy
Why built-in memory and skills alone don't solve it (and how they're different)
What happens when you switch between chats, projects, or AI tools
What an AI brain is, and why it has to update itself to actually work

Build your AI brain with me, live. In the AI Brain Workshop, I'm walking a small group through setting up their AI brain step by step, so you leave with it built and running, not a page of notes. We build it together live, then come back to troubleshoot and fine-tune after you've used it for a couple of weeks.

You're Not Behind on AI

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 09:00:00 -0500

You're not behind on AI. It just feels that way because almost all AI advice is either a vague promise or a 40-step tutorial, and neither one shows you what someone actually built.

In this episode, I'm sharing why so many people get stuck at step one, and the simple filter I use to decide what to hand to AI first.

In this episode:

Why "AI will change everything" has never once helped you with the task in front of you
The real reasons people don't show their finished builds
Why you learn AI by implementing it, not by studying it
My three-question filter: Do you do it at least weekly? Is it the same shape every time? Would you be fine if it came back 80% right?
The unglamorous build that saves me the most time

Behind the Build: AI Edition brings together 14 established business owners who each open up about one thing they built with AI: what it is, why they built it, what it solved, and how to set it up in your business.

I Disappeared Without Saying Why

Sun, 20 Sep 2026 09:00:00 -0500

About a year and a half ago, this podcast just stopped. No final episode, no "taking a break" post. One week there was an episode, and then there wasn't.

In this episode, I'm telling you what actually happened and why the show is back.

In this episode:

The four real reasons I stopped: the workload, the money, the missing strategy, and a brand new baby
Why a show without a strategy is just a hobby, and the part of this I take full responsibility for
What changed: how AI took about 95% of the admin work off my plate
Who I am and how I help small business owners run simple, automated businesses on 20 hours a week or less
What's coming next: shorter episodes, conversations with interesting people, and live hot seats where we work through a real bottleneck on air
