Let AI Take More Off Your Plate
šÆ Episode Summary
When calls, follow-up, scheduling, customer communication, content, and everyday decisions keep landing on you, the business becomes harder to grow and harder to enjoy.
Andrea Palacio learned this after buying a landscaping company that began falling apart within days of closing. She shares how she rebuilt the operation with stronger processes and AI automation, and how business owners can start removing repetitive work without chasing every new tool or trying to automate everything at once.
