What does AI mean for leaders — and what does it not replace?

Carrie Tuttle, founder of Team Mojo, invites Michael Dargie (Make More Creative / RebelRebel podcast for entrepreneurs) to host.

We keep this one short and sweet, with Carrie sharing how technical founders are embracing AI, why revenue teams should consider using it to draft messaging sequences and communication templates, and exactly where it falls short.

She also talks candidly about her own use of AI in her coaching practice, including the honest admission that first drafts aren’t her strongest suit! With AI changing so fast, it’s hard to keep up. So much so that her business use has changed in the months between recording and publishing this episode. Send her a note if you want to compare notes on what else she is using AI for with revenue teams.

Walk away with some ideas of what AI can carry for you and what still needs a human leader in the room, specifically around empathy, challenging blind spots, and keeping your team accountable.

Listen up for when Carrie reframes the AI speed conversation entirely and makes a case for humans to slow down and think. Enjoy!

QUOTE-WORTHY MOMENTS:

• “What if we framed it as: let’s let AI go do all those repetitive things so that we can take a step back and have some thinking time to do creative work?”
• "Having AI say ‘great job’ is different than having another human say, I really like what you did there, and here’s why.”
• "Learn everything you can about how AI works now, because now is the foundation for the future."

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Technical founders are broadly embracing AI, some dedicating full resources to governance and implementation.
• AI gets you 85% of the way there, but a human still needs to review it.
• AI augments coaching; it does not replace the human relationship.
• Leaders still need humans for genuine empathy, real feedback, and real accountability.
• AI is a strong starting point for revenue team communication templates and outreach sequences.
• Building AI literacy now makes future adaptation easier.
• Sales and marketing team misalignment is an underestimated gap.

Host: Carrie Tuttle

Guest: Guillermo Salazar

Carrie sits down with Guillermo Salazar, Industry Principal at Vendoroo, an agentic AI maintenance coordinator for property management. He’s the former CEO of IrisCX, and a four-time founder with three exits. He's also the host of the LinkedIn Live show Getting to Hell Yes!

In this episode, Guillermo unpacks what he's learned growing three companies from $0 to $2MM+ and why those wins all share the same engine. He explains the four-point framework he uses to cut through noisy ideal-customer profiles, and why technical founders unintentionally hold their teams back when talking about technology instead of the buyer's problem. He also shares the prioritization rubric he runs teams on.

You might appreciate when Guillermo gets candid about his own leadership edges. He admits he doesn't have it all figured out, and talks about why he pursues the discomfort of growth on purpose. Listen for the moment when Guillermo admits he'll create chaos on purpose when things get too repetitive and why that's actually a leadership asset when you know how to hand off.

Whether you're a first-time founder or a leader trying to get your team pointed in the same direction, this episode has gold to get you thinking about revenue, scale and aligning on key priorities.

QUOTE-WORTHY MOMENTS:

• “Listening is the plan. Not having the answers is okay.”
• “I’m constantly pursuing the discomfort of growth.”
• “Listen to the market, listen to your customers, and they will pull you to where they want to go next.”

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Evangelist customers compound growth in a way ad spend can’t match.

• Pull-based go-to-market makes each new customer easier to acquire than the last.
• Technical founders often hold teams back by emphasizing the solution over the buyer’s problem.
• A sharp ICP comes down to four points: the problem, why it’s unavoidable, the options considered, and their limitations.
• Clear expectations are the prerequisite to coaching andfeedback.
• Prioritize work by stopping what hurts you, staying good enough at table stakes, and be best-in-the-world at what makes you different.
• Start / stop / continue is a simple cadence for cascadingpriorities without micromanaging.
• Saying “grateful” with intention lands differently than acasual “thank you”, especially on remote teams.
• Listening is the plan. Not having the answers is okay.
• Founders who listen let the market pull them to the realopportunity.

Host: Carrie Tuttle
Guest: Mitchell Levy

Carrie sits down with Mitchell Levy, global credibility expert, two-time TEDx speaker, and international bestselling author of over 60 books, to explore one of the most overlooked leadership advantages: credibility.

With experience building 20 companies and publishing over 750 books, he brings a unique perspective on what it truly means to be seen, heard, and trusted as a leader. From his new book “Executive Abundance”, Mitchell shares what it means to build executive abundance with five stakeholder groups.

In this episode, Mitchell breaks down how credibility isn’t just about reputation—it’s about clarity, alignment, and consistently serving others. He explains how leaders can articulate their value, build stronger stakeholder relationships, and create meaningful impact through authentic communication. In fact, he demonstrated how quickly he does it. It’s simple, not easy.

You’ll hear why many leaders struggle to define their message, and how becoming “credible” unlocks opportunities, influence, and growth.

QUOTE-WORTHY MOMENTS:

• “Credibility is the quality in which you're trusted and liked.”
• “Executives are being evaluated against… Will they be good tomorrow when the company is X percentage bigger?”
• “Being seen and heard starts with understanding how you serve others, not just what you do.”

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• What credibility actually means—and why most leaders misunderstand it
• How lack of clarity impacts leadership effectiveness and team trust
• The connection between credibility and thought leadership
• Why leaders struggle to articulate their value
• Being seen and heard starts with understanding how you serve others, not just what you do
