Real talk about stopping the template madness and really finding your voice.
Let’s get into it.
This Episode was recorded the first week in September, 2025. On that day, it was reported that 40,000 AI tools had hit the market to date. My guest Mariana Dalto had to update her presentation deck mid-week because the number doubled in a month and a half.
No wonder you're feeling overwhelmed.
The real problem isn't that AI doesn't work – it's that most business owners are throwing tools at their business like spaghetti at a wall, hoping something sticks. Meanwhile, they're breaking workflows, confusing teams, and wondering why their ”AI strategy” feels like expensive chaos.
Mariana has been in the AI trenches for two years (back when most people thought it was still science fiction). As both a business coach and AI consultant, she's seen what actually works for YOUR specific business – and what's just shiny object syndrome in disguise.
What You'll Learn:
- The real reason 98% of businesses fail at AI implementation (hint: it's not about picking the wrong tools)
- Why you need TWO assessments before you touch a single AI tool
- Mariana's 6-step process for finding the RIGHT fit for your workflow
- How to work WITH AI instead of trying to replace your brain entirely
- Why ChatGPT 5.0 broke everyone's systems (and how to adapt when tools change every 3-6 months)
The Bottom Line: Stop trying to AI-fy your entire business. Start with strategy, pick your battles, and build systems that actually work together.
When only 2% of businesses are doing this right, there's a massive opportunity for those who get it – including a 37% ROI boost.
