210: The Top AI Tools to Free up Time AND Improve Your Business with Dawn Richardson

Today, we are talking about the #1 buzzword in the online space right now: AI. I’ve brought in Dawn Richardson, owner of Tech Savvy Creative and long-time online friend (and Elizabeth McCravy shop customer!). We met IRL recently at the Creative Educator Conference a few months ago, and I reached out to her immediately after asking her to come on the podcast and talk about the top AI tools to free up your time in your business.

A little bit of background info for you: Dawn was a software engineer turned wedding photographer and is now back in the tech space. So she REALLY gets it. Her mission is to help creative entrepreneurs leverage the power of technology to regain more time freedom, which you all know is near and dear to my heart! She’s so helpful and really breaks down tech in a way that we can all understand (and get from tech-overwhelm to tech-empowered), and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her sharing her wisdom with us today.

Here are a few things you'll hear on today's episode:

• What is Chat GPT and what should we be using it for?
• the #1 thing we should all be automating as creative business owners
• simple automations you can set up QUICKLY that make a big difference
• more advanced tools you can use for team meetings, scaling your business, and more.
• when to SWITCH your current tools and when to stay

If you want to automate your business or take advantage of more of the top AI tools, I know you'll love this interview as much as I did.
