Every AI conversation starts the same way if you let it: vague question in, generic advice out. “Review your goals. Focus on high-value tasks.” Thanks, very helpful.

That’s not an AI problem — it’s a context problem. Give it the real details about your business and watch the answers actually change.

Found an AI app that's genuinely made my day-to-day easier: Granola.

It sits in on your meetings, transcribes everything, and lets you ask questions about what was discussed later — no more digging through notes trying to remember what was decided. Free plan covers most of what you'll need. The paid version mainly just keeps your transcripts past 30 days, but if you're saving notes to Google Docs anyway, that's not a big deal.

Not sponsored, I'm too small for that lol. Just wanted to give them some love since it's something I use pretty much every day.

Check out Granola if you're tired of taking notes during meetings.

ChatGPT hacked into another company last week. No, the robots aren't coming for you. 🙅‍♂️

Real story: OpenAI tested how good their models are at hacking — sandbox, safety rails off, vague instructions. The model found its way online, decided Hugging Face probably had the answers to its test, and just hacked in and grabbed them. Very human of it — why do the work when you can cheat?

Not sentience. Just a powerful tool given a vague task with no guardrails.

Which is exactly why clear instructions matter with AI — vague prompts get wild results, clear ones get you tools that actually save you time.

If this story made AI feel scarier or further out of reach — it's neither. Link in bio for a free 15-min chat on what a simple AI tool could do for your business. 👇

New models just dropped from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — but you don't need to keep up with all of it. You just need to know if it can save you time. That's what I'm here for. 🌲

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Every business should have someone on their team learning how to use AI."
That's straight from Steve Lloyd, who came in with his wife already using AI daily — and still walked away with better tools and a clearer path forward.
There's always a next step. We'll help you find yours.

Last week I had the honor of presenting to the Whidbey Island investor meetup in Coupeville. We covered AI prompting, deep property research, and how investors can use AI to analyze deals faster and more effectively.
The group was engaged, the questions were great, and it was a reminder of how much practical value AI can deliver when it's applied to real work — not just talked about.
If you're a real estate investor (or any small business owner) curious about putting AI to work, I'd love to connect. Free 15-minute consult link in bio. 👇

Here's what a Custom AI Toolkit session could look like in practice:

Say a shop owner spends about 45 minutes every week writing social media posts from scratch. Same type of posts, same general style — but starting from a blank page every time.

In one session, we could build a custom GPT trained on their brand voice, their products, and their audience. Drop in a few details, get a week's worth of posts in about 5 minutes.

That's not a gimmick. That's 40 minutes back every week. Over 30 hours a year — from one tool.

That's what The Custom AI Toolkit is about — real tools that save real time.

Introducing: The Custom AI Toolkit 🛠️

Here's the idea: You already know what's taking too long in your business. We sit down together and build the AI tools to fix it.

Custom GPTs. Prompt libraries. Workflows. Tailored to YOUR business, YOUR customers, YOUR voice.

This isn't a class where you take notes and hope you figure it out later. You walk out with working tools you can use the next morning.

Who it's for: Business owners who know what they need — they just need someone to build it with them.

$897 | Available in-person or virtual

Travel fee applies beyond 30 miles
