    482 – How to Build an AI That Runs Your Business

    29/09/2026 | 19 mins.
    What if you could build an AI system that helps your business make more money, gives you back your time, and allows your team to get more done without working more? In this episode, I sit down with Early to Rise Director of AI Galel Fajardo to break down exactly how business owners can start using AI without getting overwhelmed by all the tools and terminology. We cover how to identify the low-value tasks AI should take off your plate, build a “business brain” that actually understands your company and your voice, turn one piece of content into multiple assets, and use AI agents and automations to handle repetitive work.

    Galel also shares a simple 30-day roadmap for implementing AI while keeping human quality control at the center of the process. If you want to spend more time on $1,000-an-hour work, build a business that depends less on you, and use AI to create more freedom, this episode will show you exactly where to start.

    21/09/2026 | 42 mins.
    What if one single bottleneck is responsible for most of the problems holding your business back? In this episode, I break down my Breakthrough Room formula for identifying the #1 constraint limiting your growth and putting a Level 10 effort into solving your Level 10 problem. I’ll show you how to separate data from drama, define exactly what success looks like, generate better solutions, and make sure everyone knows who does what by when.

    I also share real examples of entrepreneurs who transformed their marketing, sales, delivery, and leadership by focusing on the right problem instead of chasing more tactics. If you want to break through your current ceiling, grow your business, and work less, this episode will help you find the constraint, eliminate the bottleneck, and move to the next level.

    479 – Your Morning Routine Is Costing You Millions

    10/09/2026 | 24 mins.
    What if the first hour of my day could be worth more than the other 15 hours I spend working? In this episode, I share why I believe most entrepreneurs don’t have a productivity problem—they have a protection problem, and their most valuable hours are constantly being stolen by email, notifications, meetings, and low-value tasks. I’ll show you how I identify my personal “Money Hour,” protect my peak energy, and use that time to focus on the work that actually drives revenue and moves my business forward.

    I’ll also break down the simple preparation strategy I use to accomplish more in 60 focused minutes than most people get done in an entire workday. If you want to make more money, reduce stress, and stop being busy all day without actually getting ahead, I’ll show you how to win your most valuable hour and take control of your day.
