Picture this: You're killing it in real estate, everyone calls you "one of the best," money's flowing in—and you're literally writing in your journal that meetings make you nauseous. That was Callan Faulkner's reality until a ChatGPT demo in July 2023 flipped her entire world upside down.

Most people would've pushed through the sick feeling, stayed for the "security." Not Callan. She shut down her profitable land investment business, launched The Uncommon Business Co., and built it to $4 million in revenue at 40% margins in just 18 months. Now she trains what she calls "high-frequency humans" to use AI without losing their souls. Turns out, following your obsessions over your obligations is actually a business strategy.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Why your body's "no" is actually divine guidance trying to save you—and how Callan's nausea in land meetings led to her AI obsession
• Why emotional regulation and nervous system work ARE business strategies for building sustainable success
• How to activate your team's highest potential instead of keeping them busy with low-level tasks
• The hiring philosophy that changed everything: asking about trauma and choosing frequency over skill
• Her mission to free "Donna" from 30 years of cubicle fluorescent lights—and why AI fluency will matter as much as email skills

This conversation will mess with everything you think you know about business, success, and what it means to build something that matters. Callan's not just teaching AI—she's showing us how to stay human while we rebuild the world.
