Description
‘AI Literacy for Entrepreneurs’ gets a role-reversal this week: host Susan is in the hot-seat, guesting on Bárbara Daroca’s Hello, Success! Podcast and the convo was too good not to syndicate here. If you’re building a business on your own terms (and wondering how AI fits into that life-by-design plan), save this one for your next walk.

Susan’s origin story - from lifetime marketer, to chocolate-maker, to AI-agency founder
The 4am Report pivot, and why podcasting early (and tiny) massively paid off (even inspiring Barbara to launch her own podcast.
How generative AI really changes the writing game (hint: commodity content is toast; strategy wins)
Grocery-list automation, Instacart GPTs, and other un-sexy life hacks that buy back brain-space
Defining success as 60 % white space - and how to protect it while scaling
