About this episode

AI is revolutionizing the way businesses operate—but how do you harness it effectively without getting lost in the noise? In this final episode of the Business Made Simple Podcast, Bobby Richards and James Sweeting sit down with Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader, to unpack the practical ways small business owners can leverage AI as a strategic thought partner.

 

Geoff shares the essential mindset shifts needed to embrace AI, from reframing limiting beliefs to asking the right questions that unlock its true potential. Discover how prompts like “How can AI help me solve this problem?” can help you design AI interactions that enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, and uncover non-obvious solutions.

 

As we wrap up the Business Made Simple Podcast, we want to thank you for joining us on this incredible journey of becoming better business owners. This final episode offers actionable strategies to help you adopt AI, amplify your impact, and future-proof your business—proving it’s never the end, just the beginning of what's next.
