Learn how AI can help businesses scale

As the technology continues to evolve, it has become increasingly clear that AI has the potential to unlock new levels of productivity, efficiency, and innovation for businesses of all sizes and across various industries. We can now train AI models to replicate successful business practices and individual "secret sauces" to improve decision-making and save time for complex tasks. However, we must be mindful of the potential for AI to replicate existing biases and ensure that we start relationships with AI models with the right intentions and values.

In this podcast episode, I have Jere Simpson, a serial entrepreneur who rose from rags to riches in his teens after founding an early e-commerce company. Forbes Magazine hailed Jere as "one of the top minds in tech," and Entrepreneur Magazine referred to him as one of the best entrepreneurs in the world. Over the past 22 years, he's had access to the inner workings of the CIA, FBI, NSA, Pentagon, Navy SEALS, and multiple White House administrations, providing him with a uniquely insightful perspective of the world. His current company, Atlas UP, is revolutionizing how organizations can improve their productivity—a mission that resonates deeply with Jere, whose life purpose is to aid humanity in achieving a symbiotic relationship with Mother Earth.

Key Takeaways:

• Discover how AI can help solopreneurs delegate effectively
• Providing feedback to AI models to improve their understanding of successful practices
• Learn about the difference between computation and logical intelligence
• Hear us talk about how AI can help businesses make better decisions
• Discover how AI can help businesses cross domains quickly
