Stop Doing The Work, Start Directing It | Business Unscripted Ep. 74

Dave and co-host Duarne Bernhagen start with the distinction almost nobody makes correctly: automation and AI are not the same thing, and most real workflows need both. An automation moves a document from point A to point B with zero AI in it. AI is the interpretation layer you drop in where it earns its place.Then the conversation most owners haven't had yet — liability. Insurers are quietly carving AI out of errors-and-omissions coverage because they can't price the risk. If your chatbot tells a customer something wrong, that's on you; an airline learned that in court over a bereavement fare. Dave and Duarne walk through what belongs in your client agreements now, and why an opt-out checkbox and a two-tier price shares that risk instead of parking all of it on you.The rest is about getting your time back. Why an outcome-based agent that stops for your approval beats a fully generative one. How to think like a director instead of a doer. The 80/20 rule applied to your calendar, not just your revenue — and why the bottom 40% of your time is provably unprofitable. Why "coach them up or coach them out" is the only honest answer with a team, and how "that's not my job" tells you exactly who your bottom 20% is. Plus the real math on outsourcing, and the client who doubled his business by handing off his phone.Dave closes with homework: two lists. Everything manual that's eating your week, and everything you know you should — or want to — be doing instead. Write both this weekend, then pick one thing.New episodes every Friday morning.
