Choosing the right tool: AI, automation, or human?

It doesn't have to be all or nothing: I'm a massive fan of using AI for the right jobs, but you don't have to do every job fully with AI or with human or with automation. In this episode I share where my human brain stays in the thinking, where my human heart stays in the connecting, and how I choose between AI, automation, or doing it myself once costs come into play. "I don't want to lose my brain. I don't want to hand over my opinions or my discernment or my personality to AI."   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dgE2KqDGO-U   You'll hear about: How to decide when a task needs your human brain, when AI can carry it, and when an automation wins How AI drafts my emails so I stop being the blocker, while my human eye keeps the real connection with clients on every reply Why I swapped a Notion AI agent running on every email for a manual button trigger, and the cost reasoning behind it Links & Resources mentioned: Free webinar!
