Small business owners are drowning in AI subscriptions—and most of them are wasting money, time, and customer trust. In this episode of Small Business Big AI, Kim and Hal wrap up their trilogy on AI Agents & The Future of Small Business with a blunt truth: AI tools without strategy are liabilities, not assets.

You’ll learn how to stop chasing shiny objects and instead build systems that boost ROI, protect compliance, and turn AI into your business copilot. If you’ve been wondering how to cut through AI hype and actually get results, this episode delivers the clarity you need right now.
