Episode Synopsis

If you’ve ever missed a call from a potential client and thought, “Ugh… there goes another one,” you are not alone. In today’s Wise Practice Podcast episode, I’m sitting down with my good friend and tech genius Uriah Guilford to talk about something that could completely change that story—using AI to design an intake process that works around the clock, never misses a lead, and still feels personal and client-centered. We’re diving into real, HIPAA-compliant tools that can answer calls 24/7, book consultations instantly, and make sure no one slips through the cracks—without adding more to your already overflowing plate. Whether you’re an AI skeptic or you’re ready to go all in, you’re going to walk away from this conversation with practical ways to bring your intake system into the future.
