EP. 57 AI, Business & Better Holidays: How Marcus and Andrew Are Working Smarter, Not Harder

AI is everywhere right now—but most tradies are still asking the same question:“Where the hell do I even start?”In this episode, Kate sits down with long-time Ladies with Tradies clients Marcus (Vivid Coats) and Andrew (Stay Bright Electrical) to unpack how they're using Artificial Intelligence in their businesses—and why it’s become one of the biggest productivity tools they've ever adopted.From writing procedures and solving business problems to handling admin tasks, marketing ideas, customer communication and even acting as a sounding board, both Marcus and Andrew share the practical ways they use AI every day.But this episode goes far deeper than technology.It's also a conversation about business growth, coaching, community, leadership, family life, and why success isn't measured by working 90-hour weeks anymore.If you've been curious about AI but feel intimidated by it, this episode will show you that you don't need to be a tech expert—you just need to be willing to start.Key TakeawayAI isn't replacing tradies—it's helping smart tradies get their time back.The real advantage isn't the technology itself.It's using tools, coaching and community to stop carrying everything in your head, make better decisions faster, and build a business that supports your life—not consumes it.
