AI & Automation: The Future of Business is Now

New this week on Coffee & Grit...Jason sits down with Carol Kremer, of Kremer Acupuncture,to discuss how she found a passion in traditional Chinese medicine which led to leaving a corporate job to become an acupuncturist. Fresh after being named Best Acupuncturist in the annual Best of Toledo competition Carol decided to take her talents to another level by taking major leap to start her own practice in a new community. As an introvert starting a new business in a new community Carol has learned many things in her journey thus far, but none more important then You Just Have To Do It Scared!

Stories are data with soul and Carol's story shares lessons in building a business as well as eastern healing in our modern world and why acpuncture should no longer be the last resort for people in chronic pain.

What was the first industry to fully embrace automation? Not manufacturing. Not automotive either. According to Robert McElmurry, the first industry to automate was agriculture. Before data drove farming, the majority of Americans spent their days working to cultivate the crops we need. Now, most Americans are free to pursue other careers and hobbies. And, according to Robert, that kind of revolution is exactly why businesses need to embrace automation.

This week, Robert joins us to explore the how and why behind the automation we use every day. As the Director of Market Intelligence for the Association for Advancing Automation, Robert brings his full toolbelt this to talk about embracing automation, and what it could mean for your small business.
