Episode Synopsis

In this foundational solo episode, host Susan Diaz breaks down the three core concepts every founder-led team needs to understand to build a meaningful relationship with AI. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into AI or looking to sharpen your implementation strategy, this is your no-fluff starting point. What you’ll Learn 📌 Why founder-led teams are uniquely positioned to thrive with AI - if they embrace literacy and implementation now. 📌 Why mindset is just as important as toolset. 📌 How to avoid the trap of chasing shiny new tools and instead build a strategy that aligns with your business. Core Concepts Covered 🧩 Machine Learning – How AI spots patterns and evolves (and how you're already using it without realizing). 🧩 Generative AI – The game-changer: from content to music, what it means to generate vs. predict. 🧩 Prompt Engineering – The real skill for entrepreneurs: how to speak to AI in a way that makes it useful and strategic. 🛠 Plus → How to stop thinking of AI as just a tech tool and start treating it like a strategic team member. → A reminder that AI is non-optional - it’s your job as a founder to set the tone for how your team uses it. 🎯 Top Quote: "Think less tools and more strategy. Name and solve your fears. Your mindset is the single biggest unlock to using AI as your growth engine." – Susan Diaz 🎧 Listen to the episode now and start building your own AI literacy foundation. 👉 Subscribe and leave a 5⭐️ review  🔗 Resources and Freebies 📘 Download the free guide: Reclaim 3 Hours a Day – The Busy Founder’s AI Toolkit 11 practical AI tools to streamline marketing, sales & operations.
