Unlocking Real Results with AI in business

On this week’s episode of Crunching Your Growth, I sit down with Andre Ankri — founder of UTS Group, Metador, and Beyzim — to unpack how traditional industries can win with automation, AI, and smarter systems.Andre started in construction and security technology and went on to build companies that integrate advanced tech into very real, very offline businesses. From access control and automation with UTS Group, to future-ready business workflows with Metador, to B2B lead generation and marketing with Beyzim, Andre is obsessed with one thing: creating efficient, scalable, and sustainable businesses.We talk about:How to bring AI and automation into day-to-day operations without overwhelming your teamWhat traditional businesses get wrong about technology (and how to fix it)Turning marketing into a lead engine instead of a vanity metricThe mindset shift from “busy” to “built to scale”Lessons from architecture, the army, and entrepreneurship that shape his leadership todayIf you’re a founder, operator, or leader trying to modernize your business without losing your mind (or your margins), this episode is for you.There are a lot of  "experts" out there giving advice who’ve never built a thing. They’ve never stayed up all night sweating a product launch. Never had to scale a team. Never had to meet payroll.They’re just regurgitating what they read in someone else’s book.That’s not me. I’ve built brands. I’ve scaled them. I’ve exited them. I’ve failed, won, and fought through it all.And now, my team and I help brands do it every single day — across eCommerce, retail, and digital. We don’t just advise — we execute. We write the playbook.So if you’re done with fluff, fake gurus, and marketers who’ve never sold anything outside of a slide deck — you’re in the right place.This show is real strategies, real tactics, and real talk.https://www.facebook.com/philmasiellohttps://www.instagram.com/philmasiello/https://www.tiktok.com/@philmasiellohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-masiello/https://www.youtube.com/@philmasiello#StartupGrowth #EcommerceTips #ScaleYourBrand #DTCMarketing #PhilMasiello #GrowthClass #BrandStrategy #MarketingPodcast #CrunchGrowth #StartupTips #BusinessGrowth
