🌴 216. IRL Friendtors and the Goldmine in Your Google Drive

Today’s episode was recorded fresh off a spectacular morning hike with Kirsty Lewis — someone I’ve technically known since 2018 but only met IRL for the first time today!Kirsty runs the School of Facilitation in the UK, and she’s visiting Australia after a facilitation gig in Manila. So we hit the Macchu Picchu trail (not really, but it felt epic), talked facilitation, pricing, and how we both have stacks of unused IP sitting quietly in Google Drive purgatory.Here’s what came up:What it’s like finally meeting someone in-person you’ve worked with for years onlineThe “starving facilitator” mindset — why we often sacrifice ourselves for the groupWhy we hoard great ideas in Google Docs and never do anything with themMy half-baked but exciting experiment connecting ChatGPT to Google Drive and GmailHow AI agents could actually help you unearth patterns, generate IP, or even schedule your next dentist appointment 😳New asset library idea: A searchable, anonymized database of all my past workshop run sheetsWhat happens when you give AI access to your email, calendar, and docs—and what that could mean for your next book or business strategyKirsty and I covered SO much—honestly, I should’ve just hit record on the trail. But hopefully this solo debrief gives you a taste of our convo and sparks your own ideas for leveraging what you’ve already created.If you’ve got Google Docs filled with brilliance, maybe it's time to dust them off… or better yet, let AI do it for you.Pre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
