  • Behind the Scenes: How I Built Custom GPTs to Power My Business
    Jul 12 2025

    I’m so excited to share this special bonus episode with you because I’m bringing you something completely different today—a live training I did called “Wait, AI Can Do What Now?”

    Look, I know AI can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to build and scale digital products without losing what makes YOU unique. That’s exactly why I created this training and why I’m sharing it with you now.

    I’m going to take you behind the scenes of my custom-built GPT tools—the ones I use every single day to plan, build, and scale digital products smarter and faster. And here’s the thing: these tools don’t replace your expertise or personality. They amplify it.

    You’ll hear me get real about my own journey from corporate burnout to building a thriving digital business. I’m sharing the exact strategies I use to validate ideas, streamline product creation, and write high-converting sales funnels. Plus, I’m diving into how AI-powered data analysis can tell you exactly what to tweak next for even better results.

    If you’ve ever found yourself stuck staring at a blank document, overwhelmed by endless decisions, or worried that using AI will make you sound like everyone else—this episode is for you. I’m giving you real use cases, time-saving tactics that actually work, and a complete walk-through of what I call my custom GPT dream team.

    Whether you’re brand new to AI or you’ve been playing around with it but want to uplevel your entire digital product workflow, I’m giving you actionable steps and the inspiration to work smarter, not harder. You’ll hear my unfiltered takes on what works, answers to real questions from my live audience, and exactly how the fusion of AI and proven strategy can fuel your own empowered business journey

  • 92. Creating Connection in the Age of AI: A Fresh Take on Events with Michelle Pontvert
    Jul 3 2025

    Welcome back to the Empowered Business Podcast! I’m so excited about today’s conversation.

    I’ve got Michelle Ponvert joining me—she’s brilliant at what she calls “easy events” and low-lift business strategies. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of hosting a summit or felt like you had to choose between growing your business and keeping your sanity, this episode is for you.

    Michelle and I are diving into digital events—summits, bundles, audio conferences—strategies that help you grow your email list and visibility without burning out. Her journey from Hollywood set decorator to Paris-based entrepreneur is incredible, and her experiences with social battery challenges and neurodivergence completely changed how she approaches online events.

    We’re also tackling something I’ve been thinking about a lot—with AI everywhere now, how do we maintain genuine human connection in our businesses? How do we create experiences that actually matter instead of just adding to the noise?

    You’ll walk away with actionable strategies for hosting events that work for your real life. We’re covering audio summits, collaborative content, and blending AI with personal touch to build authentic relationships.

    Whether you’re an introvert, busy parent, or just done with business overwhelm, this episode is packed with sustainable strategies you can actually use.

    In Today’s Episode We Discuss:

    • Michelle’s Early Online Event Experiments
    • Transition into “Evidence of Humanity” Event
    • Comparing Event Strategies and Results
    • Event Promotion and Sales Strategy
    • The Role of AI in Event Creation and Execution
    • The Importance of the Human Element
    • “Low Lift” Event Philosophy
    • Event Design- Customization and Goals
    • Planning and Execution Details:
