That's an entire salary we don't have to pay.In this episode, Josh and Dylan walk through the exact step-by-step process they used to integrate AI into a small team and offload hundreds of hours of monotonous work so the team can live in their "green zone" and focus on the work that actually grows the business.This isn't theory. It's the prompt, the tool, and the workflow we're using right now.Inside this episode:The single Claude prompt every founder should run to identify the first task to automate (you can literally just talk it out with no typing required)Why Claude is the AI built for business (and how to start on a $20/month plan)How Josh built a content capture skill that turns voice memos into fully tagged, scripted Notion entriesHow Jake (our sales lead) got 30-40 minutes back per day with a non-technical automation he built himselfThe "AI Fridays" ritual that saved our company 329 hours per year in a single day of buildingThe mindset shift: AI isn't replacing your team, it's replacing the worst parts of their job so they get to do more of what they loveThe one prompt trick to always add to the end of your AI requests (it'll change your outputs immediately)Why you should start by automating what you already do  not by adding new things to your plateIf you've felt overwhelmed by where to start with AI, this is the episode that makes it dumb-simple.🎁 Loved this episode?
