The AI revolution isn't just for tech giants—it's transforming how small businesses operate right now. In this eye-opening conversation, Jade and Paul Dono break down the practical ways artificial intelligence is already working behind the scenes in businesses of all sizes, and how savvy entrepreneurs can harness its power without complex technical knowledge.

Discover how a simple plumber's business can be completely transformed through AI-powered booking systems, automated payments, and review collection. Learn why the dreaded admin work that plagues tradespeople can be reduced to simply taking photos of receipts with the right tools in place. The Donos share real examples from their accounting practice, where automated systems handle client onboarding, invoicing, and payment collection without human intervention.

The conversation tackles the common misconception that AI means replacing employees with robots. Instead, Paul explains how automating 80% of administrative tasks can make businesses more efficient while creating more growth opportunities. As he pointedly observes, "I've always done it that way" is the number one killer of businesses—especially in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Jade reveals their exciting new venture, Be An Esther, which combines business efficiency coaching with wellness support to help small business owners thrive. Their upcoming "ChatGPT for Beginners" workshop promises to demystify AI tools with practical, accessible guidance for everyday business needs like email writing and social media content creation.

Whether you're a tradesperson drowning in paperwork, a service business looking to streamline client management, or simply curious about what AI could do for your company, this episode offers clear, jargon-free insights that will change how you think about the future of small business operations.
