Send us a text

Ever wish you could step away from your business and have it keep moving without you? 

Last week in San Francisco, I did exactly that because my AI assistant ran the whole thing.

In this episode, you’ll discover how to stop carrying the entire mental load of your business, from thinking and planning to solving everything, by handing it over without handing it off to a human.

You’ll see how AI can plan your projects, handle the details, break creative blocks, and give you space to rest without losing momentum, so you can reclaim your time, protect your energy, and focus on the high-value work only you can do.

In this episode, you’ll learn…

• How to use AI as your strategic planner to design work sessions that leave you energized, not exhausted
• Ways AI can act as your personal concierge to kill decision fatigue and free your brain for real CEO work
• The “choose your own adventure” method AI gave me to break through creative blocks
• Why letting AI take the load gives you the mental space to wander — and why that’s part of the work
