So I finally convinced you that you can’t ignore AI… and you’re ready to implement it in your toy business. Go you. Love that for you. 👏🏾

But before you go trying to haphazardly plug AI into every little task, you need to build your AI foundation.

Your AI foundation is a series of files, records, strategy, and frameworks that you as a business use on a day-to-day basis. You may already have it documented somewhere, living in your head, or is just something your team knows how to execute.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down exactly:

• What you need to document
• How to pull that information together
• What you’re actually going to use it for
• And how to use it to benefit your process TODAY.

I’m also sharing a tool I made that will help you build this foundation a whole lot faster.

I know I say this all the time, but… DO NOT miss this episode!

Key Moments:

• 01:00 – Why you cannot layer AI on top of messy data and undocumented processes
• 02:00 – Foundation #1: Your Golden Data (sales data, product list, customer profile)
• 11:00 – The brand voice problem that makes AI sound generic (and how to fix it)
• 14:00 – Foundation #3: Your tech stack audit
• 17:00 – Foundation #4: SOPs (yes, you must have them)
• 21:00 – Foundation #5: Folder structure + the “Chief Operations Officer” prompt
