And why it’s the most transformative shift I’ve made in my business (and life)...
Let’s get one thing straight: AI isn’t a gimmick, a phase, or some theoretical future. It’s how I work—right now. Every single day. It’s how I stay focused when I’m overwhelmed. How I write faster and better. How I make strategic decisions without losing my mind. And how I protect my energy while scaling my impact. This post gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how I actually use AI—across planning, content creation, research, operations, and even recovery. No hype. Just how it works in my real life. McKinsey’s 2025 State of AI report just dropped, and the key takeaway is loud and clear:
The organizations seeing the most value from AI aren’t using fancier tools or more data—they’re redesigning their workflows. In fact, McKinsey found that the single biggest driver of bottom-line impact from AI use is how companies restructure the way work gets done. This is massive. Because most teams are still layering AI on top of outdated processes instead of building smarter ones from the inside out. If you’re a leader, you already have enough on your plate. Meetings, strategy, emails, more meetings—oh, and that one email thread that just won’t die.
The good news? AI can do the heavy lifting on some of the most time-consuming parts of your day. But let’s be real—most AI tools are either too complicated, too expensive, or, worst of all, they create more work, not less. So today, I’m sharing three AI tools that will actually save you hours every week—not add to your workload. When someone says "AI at work," what do you picture? A confusing dashboard? A soulless robot trying to write your emails? Another thing to learn that makes you want to fake your own death and flee to Portugal?
Yeah, I’ve been there. But here's what nobody is talking about: AI isn’t just a shiny object. It’s a full-blown productivity machine—and if you use it right, it becomes your most valuable team member. Seriously. Recent studies from Procter & Gamble show AI acts like an elite contributor: improving performance, collapsing outdated silos, and—get this—even making people happier at work. Let’s break it down: Ignore AI at Your Own Risk—Here’s Why Leaders Are Paying Attention
If you’re still treating AI like some futuristic tech reserved for Silicon Valley billionaires, I have news for you:
