Event Details
Running a business today means moving faster than ever, but too often owners get buried in tasks that don’t drive growth. In this session, you’ll discover how AI can take on the repetitive, time-consuming work that slows you down, from handling customer inquiries and scheduling follow-ups to streamlining operations behind the scenes.
You’ll learn how entrepreneurs and small businesses are using AI to scale without adding headcount, compete with larger players, and respond quickly to changing market conditions. We’ll share real-world examples of AI agents automating sales, support, and back-office functions, freeing leaders to focus on strategy and growth.
By the end, you’ll walk away with practical insights and actionable steps to build your own AI-powered workforce. Whether your goal is to become more competitive, more agile, or simply free up time to focus on what matters most, this session will show you how to turn AI from a buzzword into a business advantage.
THREE TAKEAWAYS:
- Identify specific areas in their business where AI can replace manual, repetitive tasks and free up time.
- Design a simple roadmap to implement AI agents that improve sales, customer support, and operations.
- Walk away with actionable steps to scale faster and compete more effectively using AI-driven solutions.

Your financials are feedback. Learn what your numbers are saying why they feel off sometimes and how to use them to lead better. Most business owners see
Event Details
Most business owners see financials as something for taxes loans or their accountant. But those numbers are telling a story about how a business is operating where it is under pressure and whether growth is actually helping.
This conversation looks at what financial statements reflect beyond the math including decisions priorities and tradeoffs. We will also talk about why gut feel and financial reports often do not line up and how that disconnect can create stress and uncertainty. This is not an accounting class. It is a judgment free discussion about using financial awareness as a leadership skill to make clearer decisions and lead with more confidence.
