• 91: The AI-Powered Path to an Organized Business with Shawn Lemon

  I’m excited to share this conversation with Sean Lemon from The Digital Organizer because getting organized in your business is something I’m passionate about – and I know it’s something many of you struggle with. Having come from a corporate background, I tend to be naturally organized and pretty Type A, which people often comment on when they see how my business runs on the backend.But here’s what I’ve learned over my 12 years in this space: most people who start online businesses come into it as creatives, and before they know it, they’re running a full business without understanding the systems they need to stay organized. That’s exactly where Sean comes in, and that’s what his entire business is built around solving.In this episode, Sean shares incredibly practical tips on how you can get your business organized, plus some tools that even I’m planning to check out and try. Whether you’re drowning in email, can’t find your files, or feel overwhelmed by project management, this conversation will give you actionable steps to create order in the chaos and run your business more efficiently.In Today’s Episode We Discuss:The Four Core Areas of Digital Organization:Email Management StrategiesFile Organization and Storage Systems Shared Drives vs. My DriveProject Management Best Practices AI Integration in Business OrganizationPractical Tools and Shortcuts Throughout our conversation, Sean shared specific tools and shortcuts that can save time, from desktop app preferences to browser settings for file downloads. These small changes can add up to significant efficiency gains.Resources Mentioned:Connect with Shawn Lemon on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn.Get free access to Shawn’s Digital File Organization Resource Guide.Wait… AI Can Do What Now?!

Brittany breaks down exactly how she's using these tools to automate and scale her business—and more importantly, how AI is helping her reclaim precious time with her daughter this summer instead of being stuck in hustle mode.We demystify the difference between AI automations and AI agents (trust me, this distinction is crucial), and I'm asking all the questions you're probably thinking. Like, where do you even start when there are a million AI tools out there? And how do you know which ones are actually worth your time?Whether you're looking to streamline everyday tasks, delegate more effectively, or support your clients at scale like Brittany's doing with her AI agent that handled 400+ conversations in one week (yes, you read that right!), this episode is packed with actionable insights.In Today’s Episode We Discuss:AI Foundations and Getting StartedPersonal AI Applications for Busy EntrepreneursSummer Time Management with AIUnderstanding AI Automations vs. AI AgentsAdvanced AI Implementation: Cloning YourselfBuilding AI-Powered Customer SupportAutomation Tools and PlatformsThe Future of AI in Business and SocietyResources Mentioned:Connect with Brittany on Instagram and YouTube.Catch Brittany’s podcasts, Doable With AI Wait… AI Can Do What Now?!
