So she brought on her Executive Business Partner, Brandi Colon, to show exactly what she built for her as the founder.It started with one comment from Steph. Brandi signed up while Steph was in Italy. Two days later, her mind was blown. She had the bots audit her email, Slack, and ClickUp to find where she was the bottleneck. Then she built Steph her own set of bots so Steph can stay in the visionary seat.Steph also shares why she would rather have a lean team where every person owns AI. Brandi explains why AI employees still need a person to manage them. And Steph names the real reason most teams don't adopt AI.
