No agenda, just a quick impulsive casual chat for anyone that wants to pop in and say hi or have any questions for me.

Most of us didn’t sit down and decide to “adopt AI”. Many of us stumbled across ChatGPT a few years ago, found how useful it was, and then started making images, videos with it to save time, and before we knew it we're writing full apps with it, and connecting it with zapier or make to save time, handle workflows and connecting it to send emails, schedule meetings, post things, and have it do all the things a trusted human PA would have done 20 years ago. When I started writing my book, I've already gone from "you should look at using AI to save you time" to "You definitely need to use AI to stay ahead", and in my final edit "If you don't embrace AI tools now you wont have a business" And honestly, I love it. 😍 AI tools are probably the biggest advantage I’ve ever seen for small business owners. You can move faster, build quicker, and do things that used to take teams of people. Coding apps that would have taken 3 developers 3 months can now be turned out in a day or two. If you’re building something right now and you’re not using AI properly, you’re making life harder than it needs to be. 𝐁𝐮𝐭… What if you had hired a bad actor PA 20 years ago? Or one with no loyalty or morals that could very easily influenced one by a bad person, or group. What damaged could they cause to your business? 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐲 We’re moving very quickly from using AI as a tool, and giving it a lot of access. Access to: - Your data - Your systems - Your workflows - Your customers - Your decisions - CRM Systems - Your Password Manager (via your browser control) - Your linked bank accounts And more importantly… the ability to 𝑎𝑐𝑡 on those things. Not just suggest. 𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑜. That’s a big shift, and I don’t think enough people are taking it seriously. Because once you start giving systems that level of access, you’re opening the door to problems that scale very, very fast. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐞 I worry about how easily this kind of setup can be exploited.
