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

    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.

  • 91: The AI-Powered Path to an Organized Business with Shawn Lemon
    Jun 26 2025

    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 Strategies
    • File Organization and Storage Systems
    • Shared Drives vs. My Drive
    • Project Management Best Practices
    • AI Integration in Business Organization

    Practical 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.

  • 90: AI Agents vs. AI Automations: Brittany Long Shows You the Future of Running a Business
    Jun 19 2025

    Welcome back to the Empowered Business Podcast! Today I'm sitting down with someone who literally put AI on my radar—Brittany Long, one of the original AI educators in the online business world.

    I'll be honest with you—AI exploded faster than anything I've seen in my 12 years of online business. And Brittany? She was at the forefront of it all. While I was admittedly avoiding AI during a rough personal period, Brittany was already pivoting from her successful copywriting business to become an AI trainer.

    In this episode, we're digging deep into the game-changing world of AI automations and agents. 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 Started
    • Personal AI Applications for Busy Entrepreneurs
    • Summer Time Management with AI
    • Understanding AI Automations vs. AI Agents
    • Advanced AI Implementation: Cloning Yourself
    • Building AI-Powered Customer Support
    • Automation Tools and Platforms
    • The Future of AI in Business and Society

  • 87: How Julie Chenell Uses AI as Her Second Brain (And You Should Too)
    May 22 2025

    I’m so excited to bring you today’s episode because we’re diving into one of the most important conversations happening in the digital business world right now—how to actually use AI to grow your business without losing your voice or your sanity.

    I sat down with my good friend and digital marketing powerhouse Julie Chenell, who you probably know as the co-founder of Funnel Gorgeous and Digital Insiders. Julie is the real deal—she’s built multimillion-dollar businesses, isn’t afraid to speak the truth, and she’s using AI in ways that are seriously game-changing.

    In this episode, we talk about everything from building a “second brain” to handle your ideas and content, to streamlining customer support, to how AI can actually support your expertise instead of replacing it. No hype. No fear-mongering. Just real talk about how you can use AI to make smarter decisions, get more done, and scale your digital product business on your terms.

    Let’s cut through the noise and get into what’s really working. Trust me—you don’t want to miss this one.

    In Today’s Episode We Discuss:

    Julie’s entrepreneurial journey: Julie shares how she evolved from a mom blogger to building a multimillion-dollar business, including her successful pivot from ClickFunnels to High Level.

    AI integration in business: We discuss how Julie is incorporating AI throughout Funnel Gorgeous, from customer support to education and even creating an AI employee with a dedicated phone number.

    Using AI as your “second brain”: Julie explains her paradigm-shifting approach to using ChatGPT not just as a tool but as an extension of your thinking process by organizing and feeding it information consistently.

    The value of human expertise with AI: We explore how AI enhances rather than replaces expertise, making experts more valuable by giving them better recall and data access.

    Analysis of marketing performance: Julie shares how she uses AI to analyze webinar chat logs and performance data to improve future marketing efforts.

    AI privacy concerns: We discuss common concerns about sharing intellectual property with AI and why many of these fears may be overblown for most business owners.

    AI’s impact on content creation: We talk about how AI is becoming a mediator between content creators and consumers, and what this means for the future of digital products.

    Custom GPTs vs. chat folders: Julie provides clarity on when to use custom GPTs versus simply using chat folders for personal use.
