Sick of the overwhelm? There's a new AI tool every five minutes, and you're drowning in "this changed my life" content. Real talk: most of them won't matter for your business, and some won't even exist in a year. So let's talk about what actually sticks.

Episode Summary

• The daily non-negotiables I'd notice if they disappeared tomorrow: ChatGPT, Claude, N8N, Notion, and Fathom
• Why Claude is better for coding and writing, and when ChatGPT still wins
• How N8N replaced Make for automation because debugging is 80% of the work
• The tools I've ditched or abandoned (and why it's totally okay to let things go)
• Your permission slip: you don't need to adopt every new tool. Just get really good at the ones that work

This Week's Not Another To-Do:

Do a quick tool audit. What are you actually using? What's collecting dust? What are you paying for that you forgot existed?

A year ago, I was copying and pasting between AI and my tools.

Now I'm running a six-figure business with AI embedded into everything. Here's the framework that changed it.

Episode Summary

- The shift from dabbling to building: Why working harder isn't the answer — getting strategic is

- Chat mode vs. real AI systems: How to tell if you're stuck (spoiler: you probably are)

- The STACK Method — the five-step framework I use with every founder:

- Strategy: What's your actual business goal for 2026?

- Tools: What are you working with and is your IP accessible to AI?

- Actions and AI: Pick ONE workflow to automate, not everything

- Checkpoints: The one everyone skips (and why your systems fail without it) - Keep iterating: Treat AI like a team member, not a tool you installed and forgot

- Why 2026 is different: AI isn't a competitive advantage anymore — it's the baseline. The question is whether you'll use it strategically or keep copying and pasting while everyone else builds real systems

--- Want to go deep on AI in your business? 3 strategy sessions available before the end of the year — fully booked sessions normally, but I've opened extra spots so you can start 2026 with an actual plan (not just good intentions) Visit wrightmode.com/consulting to book

If you've ever wondered how to go from "I'll just do a free workshop and see who comes" to speaking inside global AI communities — while surviving puppy chaos and unsolicited dog parenting commentary — this one's for you.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I actually built my AI education workshops and consultancy from scratch. No fluff. No "just manifest it" nonsense. Just the real, messy, strategic journey.

In this episode, I share:

• Why I spoke inside Sabrina OV's Women in AI community (and what it meant to get that "you crushed it" DM from someone I genuinely admire)
• The stat that lit a fire under me: only 7% of Aussie women got AI training last year vs 17% of men
• My mission to teach 10,000 women how to use AI by 2026
• How I built ONE really good workshop instead of many mediocre ones
• The partnerships that changed everything — local business chambers, the WA government, and global communities
• How I've systemised the whole ecosystem (repurposing, automations, Gamma for slides, the lot)
• What you can steal from this — whether you're teaching AI or something else entirely

✨ Not Another To-Do:

This week, if you've been sitting on an idea for a workshop, a talk, or a way to share your expertise — just start. Build ONE thing. Make it good. Then iterate. You don't need 10 offerings. You need one that actually helps people.
