CEOs from companies like Fiverr, Meta, IBM, Dropbox, Shopify, and many others have made public statements about how AI is already impacting—and will continue to impact—their workforces. They’re embracing AI now, tightening their focus, accelerating execution, and future-proofing their organizations.
They’re not asking, “Should I use AI?”
They’re asking, “Where else can I use AI to save time, gain insight, and make better decisions?”
If you’ve been on the fence or only using AI to ask quick questions or summarize meeting notes, I want to show you what else is possible.
For the past couple of years, I’ve been on a journey to integrate AI into both my business and my life. My Beach House Mastermind retreat meal planning even got the AI treatment…after I had spent four hours doing it the hard way.
But here’s the key:
I don’t use AI to do my thinking for me.
I use it to think faster and more strategically.
Below, you’ll find a few resources I’ve put together over the past year that make for a great starting point on what tools are the most useful and what areas of your business could benefit the most.
Listen: My Podcast Series on AI
One of the fastest ways to start thinking differently about AI is to hear how others are actually using it. That’s exactly why I teamed up with Mary Fearon for this special 5-episode podcast series entitled Leveraging AI: Proven, Practical, and Tactical Approaches to Using AI in Your Business.
Together, we explore how we use AI as a brainstorming partner, an unpaid assistant for meeting notes, and how we create content faster and improve customer experiences. We even walk through how to write better prompts because how you talk to AI is everything.
If you’re wondering how to start using AI beyond the obvious (or want to hear how it can support your business strategy and creativity), this series is a great place to start.
And if you listened to them when they first aired, then maybe it’s time to re-listen and grab some new insights a second time around.
Read: The Blog With My Favorite Prompts
This blog, Using AI In Marketing, is part personal story, part AI playbook. It walks you through how I realized I was still missing opportunities to use AI and how that awareness has changed how I approach everything from meal prep to marketing.
I’ve also included a set of practical prompts I’ve personally tested and refined. These are the exact ones I used to create an evergreen content matrix, build a resource lead magnet, and turn a single blog into three high-performing social posts.
It’s honest and detailed, and if you’re looking to sharpen how you think with AI, not just delegate work to it, I think you’ll enjoy it.
