Ever wondered how some companies are slashing tens of thousands in operational costs without downsizing or burning out their teams? This episode has the blueprint, and it's powered by AI! Join your host, Anthony Dahya, as he welcomes Olga Topchaya, founder and CEO of Lapis AI Consults, to the Champion Mindset Collective Podcast. Olga helps medium-sized businesses implement custom AI solutions, reducing operational expenses by at least 30% and saving an average of $32,000 per employee annually. With over a decade in marketing and product, Olga brings a business-first mindset to AI, transforming complex technology into tangible results that leaders can readily see on their balance sheets. Discover her journey from an English major in Ukraine to an AI innovator, and learn why she believes adaptability, continuous learning, and contextual understanding are the pillars of success, both in business and in life.Key Takeaways:Cutting operational costs by using AI allows companies to work smarter, not harder, improving processes, workflows, and lead generation.To identify inefficiencies in a business, look for areas that are slow, expensive, and error-prone. The overlap of these issues with AI's capabilities is where custom AI solutions can be most impactful.When implementing AI, engage both decision-makers and the employees doing the actual work to ensure alignment and address the real-world operational needs.Before automating, thoroughly understand current workflows, whether they're manual or technology-based, to ensure that the automated solution genuinely optimizes tasks and processes.Combat the fear of AI replacing jobs by being transparent with employees, explaining that AI eliminates busy work and allows them to focus on higher-value tasks like strategy, relationships, and creative problem-solving.AI tools enable the scaling of human creativity, rather than replacing it. By acting as the creative source and using AI to amplify output, teams can produce unique and impactful content.When explaining AI implementation to clients, use relatable analogies and involve developers to clarify complexities, helping them understand that effective automation requires thoughtful planning and execution, not just 'pushing a button.'Time Stamps: 00:00 Cutting operational costs with AI without burnout01:17 Meet Olga Topchaya and Lapis AI Consults02:50 From tech recession to building an AI company07:00 Why AI fails without people and adoption09:07 Starting a business without overthinking14:08 Finding hidden inefficiencies in organisations22:20 Addressing the fear that AI replaces jobs33:06 Real example: AI freeing time, not cutting jobs46:30 How AI delivers 30% cost savings in practice55:14 The leadership mindset shift for AI successTags and Keywords: champion mindset collective podcast, anthony dahya, olga topchaya, lapis ai consults, ai for business, slash costs, boost growth, empower team, ai solutions, operational efficiency, ai innovation, business strategy, workflow optimization, ai misconceptions, future of work, ai and jobs, productivity, entrepreneurship, tech recession, generative ai🌐 Connect with Olga Topchaya:➡️ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/olgatopchaya/➡️ Lapis AI Website - https://www.lapisconsults.com/📢 Connect with Anthony Dahya:🌐 Website – Champion Mindset Collective➡️ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonydahya/➡️ Facebook – facebook.com/anthonydahya➡️ Instagram – @anthony.dahya➡️ YouTube – @anthonydahya➡️ Spotify – Champion Mindset Collective➡️ AI Workflows Agency – https://aiworkflows.agency📧 Email – podcast@anthonydahya.com💬 Join the Conversation: Leave your thoughts or questions in the comments or message Anthony directly.Want to be a guest on Champion Mindset Collective?

Are you an entrepreneur, leader, or parent feeling constantly drained and on the verge of burnout? This episode of the Champion Mindset Collective podcast offers actionable strategies to reclaim your energy and sustain peak performance. Host Anthony Dahya sits down with Rich Ellis, renowned as "The Energy Coach," a PT of the Year winner and registered health coach, to delve into the vital connection between energy and performance. Rich shares his personal transformation from burnout to developing sustainable practices, highlighting the crucial distinction between beneficial and detrimental stress, and how to interpret your body's early warnings before exhaustion sets in.Rich explores the advantages of aligning with your body's natural rhythms, the scientific underpinnings of fasting, and how incremental, consistent adjustments can profoundly rejuvenate your personal life, leadership capabilities, and business endeavors.Key Takeaways:Prioritise energy management over time management: Focus on generating and maintaining your energy levels, as it's a more critical driver of performance than simply managing your schedule.Listen to your body's natural rhythms: Pay attention to hunger cues and fullness signals instead of rigid eating schedules. Aim to stop eating when 80% full, recognising that it takes time for your brain to register satiety.Understand that stress isn't always bad: Differentiate between beneficial stress (eustress) that motivates performance and detrimental stress that leads to burnout. Learn to recognise the early warning signs your body sends before exhaustion sets in.Embrace personalised nutrition and exercise: What works for one person may not work for another. Understand your unique body type and needs, including the timing and macro-nutrient mix of your meals and suitable exercise routines.Integrate regular short breaks into your workday: Utilise techniques like the Pomodoro method (25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of break) to align with your body's ultradian rhythms, preventing mental fatigue and improving focus. Step away from your desk and connect with nature if possible.Recognise the value of slowing down to speed up: Resist the urge to constantly push through exhaustion. Taking intentional breaks, engaging in mindfulness, and allowing for recovery time paradoxically enhances productivity and well-being in the long run.Identify if you're a "lark" or an "owl" and adjust your schedule accordingly: While societal norms often favor early risers, understanding your natural chronotype (morning or evening person) and adapting your work schedule can significantly boost your energy and productivity.=== TAGS ===Burnout to Balance, Energy Drives Performance, Rich EllisEnergy Coach, Sustainable Performance, Stress Management, Listen to Your Body, Intermittent Fasting Benefits, Entrepreneur Burnout, Peak Performance Strategies, Champion Mindset Collective, Anthony Dahya Podcast, Health Coaching, Work-Life Balance, Productivity Hacks, Mindfulness for Business,Corporate Wellness, Business Leadership Energy, Recharge Your Life, Natural Rhythms Body, Overcoming Fatigue, Personal Training Excellence, Holistic Health, Optimizing Energy, Wellbeing in Business, Preventing Burnout🌐 Connect with Rich Ellis:➡️ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richellis/➡️ Instagram -⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/ptgraduatenz/➡️ Website: https://richellis.nz/📢 Connect with AnthonyDahya:🌐 Website – Champion Mindset Collective➡️ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonydahya/➡️ Facebook – facebook.com/anthonydahya➡️ Instagram – @anthony.dahya➡️ YouTube – @anthonydahya➡️ Spotify – Champion Mindset Collective➡️ AI Workflows Agency – https://aiworkflows.agency📧 Email – podcast@anthonydahya.com💬 Join the Conversation: Leave your thoughts or questions in the comments or message Anthony directly.
