What happens when you upload years of your business data - profit & loss statements, customer transactions, ad performance - into AI and just start asking it questions? Kyle and Reese reveal how to turn your data into a conversation that uncovers growth opportunities hiding in plain sight.

In this AI foundations episode, they break down why most local business owners are sitting on goldmines without realizing it. You'll discover the difference between AI that just answers questions and AI that actually runs parts of your business while you focus on what matters.

The hosts reveal:

• How to take any recorded team meeting and turn it into a bulletproof standard operating procedure in minutes (no more writing SOPs from scratch)
• Why taking screenshots of your QuickBooks or Google Ads dashboard and asking "what am I looking at?" can unlock insights you've been missing
• The real reason one web developer is swamped with new clients thanks to AI (hint: people are trying to DIY and failing hard)
• How to create AI agents that analyze your Google reviews for patterns, book appointments, and handle follow-ups automatically

Plus: Why paying $20/month for AI tools while your competitors don't is like having a genius assistant working 24/7 to grow your business. And why waiting for AI to be "perfect" means watching everyone else pull ahead while you're still doing everything manually.

If you're drowning in data but starving for insights, this episode walks you through exactly how to change that.
