Can AI Find You? Getting Your Website Ready for Answer Engines

More of your future customers are asking AI who to hire instead of searching Google. In this AI-hosted Monday deep dive, our hosts break down AEO (answer engine optimization), how it builds on traditional SEO, and why a beautiful website isn't always readable to AI. They look at the free tool Jam Anderson found that scores how ready your site is for AI agents, how she raised her score from an 83 to a 96 with Claude's help, and the simple writing habits that make AI more likely to recommend you.

Try it this week:

1. Run your site through Is Agentic at is-agentic.com and note your score
2. Copy the "Prompt to fix" into Claude, tell it what platform your site is built on and that you're not technical, and ask for step-by-step instructions
3. Rescan and share your before and after score in Club Jam
4. Take the two-minute test: ask Claude or ChatGPT, "What do you know about my business?" and screenshot the answer as your before photo

The Claude prompts mentioned in this episode are Club Jam suggestions to help you get started. Make them your own.

What happens when a former corporate communicator reads that children's media overwhelmingly casts the predator as male and the prey as female? If you're Gian Schauer, you build a brand that does it differently.

Gian, a Club Jam member from Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the founder of Fierce and Sweet, a kids' apparel line with one simple rule: pick your animal first, then pick your color. Fierce and Sweet. For kids to be both. In this conversation with Flora Mercury, Gian shares how a little girl who loved snakes and princess dresses sparked the idea, how her journalism background still shapes the way she listens to her customers, and how AI turned her design ideas into real products.

In this episode:

• How Gian found Club Jam at a SCORE event, and the light bulb moment that followed
• Building Claude skills for marketing, social media and wholesale
• The connector that scans her email for invoices so nothing slips through
• A Go-Giver idea that became a coloring contest and free coloring pages for local preschools
• What's next: youth sizes and the return of her Women Warriors line in 2027
• Her best advice for beginners: play with it. "You're not going to break the heart of Claude."

AI assistants are starting to shop for people. They compare options, choose, and even check out on someone's behalf. So when a robot is doing the comparison shopping for your next customer, what makes it pick you?

In this AI-hosted episode of The Human Side of AI, we dig into the new wave of AI shopping agents and why a clear, specific story is becoming a small business's biggest advantage. You can't outspend the big brands, but you can be clearer, more specific, and more real than they are.

You'll walk away with five things to do this week, no new software or budget required:

1. Write your story in one paragraph
2. Make your website and profiles say it plainly
3. Ask for reviews that tell the before and after
4. Answer the questions customers really ask
5. Test whether AI recommends you

What happens when someone who has spent decades fighting for the planet starts using AI every day? Flora Mercury sits down with Brandi Clark Burton, owner of the Austin Common and a vision-to-reality strategist, to talk about using AI with a conscience.

Brandi shares how AI helped her find the right travel wheelchair for her mom, turn a week of agonizing over a speaking application into an afternoon, and deliver agency-level work as a solopreneur with Claude Projects. She also explains why consumers have the power to demand better from AI companies, the simple practice of asking businesses for what you want, and her coming book idea, Asking for the World You Want.

The conversation closes on "community as a service," and why in a world full of screens, human connection may be the most valuable thing a business can offer.

In this episode:

• Why Brandi believes "there's no economy on a dead planet"
• How to ask AI for what you really need, not what a search bar can handle
• Using Claude Projects to manage client contracts, transcripts, and deliverables
• One thing small business owners can do this month to use AI more consciously
• The realtor community that clients refuse to leave
• Why in-person connection matters more than ever in the age of AI

More than 3,400 marketers gathered in Denver for Content Marketing World 2026, and the biggest brands in the room came to a surprising conclusion: making more content is not what wins customers. Trust is.

In this AI-hosted deep dive, we break down what that means for small business owners who are stretched thin and wearing every hat. You'll learn Goldie Chan's human/AI sandwich for using AI without losing your voice, the blandness test that shows when your content could belong to anyone, and simple copywriting moves from Nancy Harhut's brain science session, like specific words, countdowns, and timing offers to fresh starts. We also cover the award-winning storytelling that beat volume, why more customers are finding businesses through AI search instead of websites, and why community is the biggest trend of the year.

Plus, three things you can do this week to turn your content into customers.

Vanessa Ayres spent years as a software architect before she made a brave call: put her health first and build something of her own. That something is Vassara Mahj, a mahjong lifestyle brand blending elegant original apparel, weekly community, and a whole lot of heart.

Vanessa shares how one Facebook post turned into a circle of women learning American mahjong around a kitchen table, how a free SCORE workshop led by Jam Anderson brought her to Club Jam, and how she now runs a one-woman business with Claude as her right hand. She uses AI to mock up her website for her Shopify developer, research what sells before she designs it, plan Q4 products like mahjong ornaments and wrapping paper, and build an FAQ page for Midnight Mahj, a glow-in-the-dark mahjong night designed to grow her email list.

If you've ever felt stretched thin trying to wear every hat in your business, Vanessa is proof you don't have to have it all together to build something beautiful.

Find Vassara Mahj on Instagram and Facebook, and join The Enclave on her coming soon page for first access to every launch.

Three big AI agents launched this month: Meta Muse, Instinct, and OpenAI Dots. They can browse, shop, send email, and spend money on your behalf. The fine print says that when something goes wrong, you carry the risk, and their liability is capped at about one hundred dollars.

So what does a small business owner need to get started with AI? About twenty dollars a month.

In this AI-hosted episode, we break down the new agent wave and what the terms mean for you. Then we walk through Jam Anderson's AI 101 newsletter on the twenty dollar a month setup she built for her husband Mike's production company. It runs on Claude, a free Obsidian company brain, Fathom call transcripts, GitHub for website updates, a pricing tool, and a voice file of 20 real emails that writes like him without touching his inbox. We follow Mike through a real week, from discovery call to proposal, scope changes to case studies, and show why building this foundation now lets you delegate to agents later on your own terms.

Missed last Friday's episode? Flora Mercury sat down with Jam for their monthly conversation. They covered how Claude found over 1,400 dollars in unused subscriptions, why beginners should pick one AI platform, and the Money Moves sprint kicking off November 2.

Flora is at Content Marketing World in Denver this week. Next episode: her takeaways.

What if your AI could find money you didn't know you were losing?

In this October check-in, Flora Mercury sits down with Club Jam founder Jam Anderson to talk about a busy month of travel, speaking, and testing new AI tools. Jam shares how she used Claude to audit her business finances and ended up cancelling more than $1,400 in forgotten subscriptions in a single afternoon.

They also dig into what Club Jam members are talking about right now, from building a "second brain" so your chats stop disappearing across devices, to why the best way to start with AI is to pick one platform and use it every day.

In this episode:
- How Jam ran a private financial audit with Claude (and how to protect your account info)
- The daily workflow Jam uses to turn meeting transcripts into custom proposals in minutes
- Why AI can create more work if you're not careful, and how to set healthy boundaries
- Jam's advice for small business owners who are stretched thin heading into Q4
- Lightning round: favorite tool, go-to weekly skill, and one word for 2026
- What's new inside Club Jam, including expert guests, a reorganized training vault, and why the free trial is off
- A first look at Money Moves, our next sprint starting November 2nd, focused on prospecting and closing deals

Agent-Ready: Making Small Business Findable for AI Assistants

Your next customer might send their AI assistant to check you out first. It might call your business, read your website and compare your prices before a real person ever says hello. If it can't understand your business in seconds, it moves on to someone it can.

In this Monday episode, our AI hosts unpack what's happening right now: Google's AI calling local businesses on behalf of shoppers, a personal AI agent raising $1 billion to handle people's errands, and why AI is great at finding businesses while your own website still closes the sale.

You'll learn:
- What an AI assistant looks for when it checks out your business
- The 7-point Agent-Ready Checklist, from plain-text pricing to reviews
- The 10-Minute Robot Test, four simple prompts you can run today in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
- Why clear beats clever, for people and for machines
- How being findable by AI gives you more time to be human with the customers it sends you

A quick note: Monday episodes are hosted by AI, so names and newer tech terms may get a little mispronounced. The real humans behind the show are at jamout.ai.

Krista DeBuhr spent seventeen years building the yoga community in Arkansas, from her first studio in Clarksville to co-creating the Yoga on the Mountain gathering in Aspen Snowmass, where she and Flora first met. She's three weeks into taking her newest project, the Joy Collective, virtual, a community helping women reconnect with joy through movement, nature, and real connection. Krista and Flora talk about what it's like to build a new platform as a solo founder learning AI in real time, why busy isn't the flex our culture treats it as, and how getting time back only matters if you spend it on the people you love. Learn more about the Joy Collective at joycollectivecommunity.com.

Every Monday, we hand the mic to our AI hosts. This week they got their hands on a poll from inside the Club Jam community: fill in the blank, I use AI every day for ___.

Members were only allowed to pick one answer. Almost nobody did.

Our hosts dig through the real comment thread, members running their entire CRM through AI, one building a custom platform because nothing on the market fit, another wanting to build an AI agent that runs all of his other AI, to figure out what happens when AI stops being a tool for one task and starts becoming the operating system for an entire small business.

Club Jam is an AI training community of 430 small business owners, marketers, and sales professionals learning to actually use AI, not just talk about it. Come see how they're doing it at jamout.ai.

Katherine Gruenberg has spent her career building digital marketing systems for small businesses, and her latest pivot says a lot about where the internet is headed: from ranking on Google to being recommended by AI. In this episode, Katherine and Flora talk about how she built an app that automates pre-shift updates for restaurant staff, why AI SEO is different from traditional SEO, and the practical first steps any small business owner can take to show up when someone asks ChatGPT or Claude for a recommendation.

Katherine is offering Jam members a free AI Visibility Mini-Check, plus her full AI Search Visibility Audit (normally $299) for $69, limited to the first 10 sign-ups. Reach her on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/katherine-ai-powered-social

Today's episode flips a script we've been running for a while. Instead of finding new ways to do more with AI, we're looking at how to do less: less busywork, less manual grinding, less time spent on tasks that were never the best use of you. Our AI co-hosts break down the "confused intern" problem, why vague prompts get vague results back, and what changes when you stop treating AI like a chatbot and start treating it like a system, one that handles content, follow-up, and even strategy pressure-testing in the background while you step back.

We also cover the POWER framework for giving AI direction that works the first time. If you've been feeling behind on AI, this one's for you. You're not behind. You've been using it backwards, like most of us.

Julius Neil has spent his career jumping between industries and continents: chemistry labs in Japan, wastewater treatment in Qatar, an EV battery company in Sweden that went bankrupt, and now a biotech company in Iceland making cancer medicine more affordable. Along the way he built the Nexus Framework, his own system for diagnosing whether a company is firefighting, coasting, or actually ready to transform, and started his own show, 10X AI with Julius Neil, where he's interviewed over 40 founders, scientists and operators about how AI really lands inside a business.

In this conversation, Julius and Flora talk about why every one of those 40+ conversations landed on the same conclusion: AI works when people come first, not last. They get into what that looks like for a small business owner specifically, including what you can automate for about $30 a month without losing the people who make your business feel like yours.

Jam rebuilt her funnel with Claude, cut her monthly ad spend from $3,000 to $500, and tripled her leads. In this month's catch up, she breaks down exactly what changed, why chasing everyone into Club Jam was hurting more than helping, and the one thing she tells every small business owner to stop doing with their offers. Plus, the zero cost homework assignment you can try this week, and the two things every new Club Jam member should do first.

Your competitors already know when you change your prices. Do you know when they do?

This week we're breaking down how to use AI to watch your competitive landscape for you: three ways to do it depending on your budget, where the legal line actually sits, and two real stories from inside Club Jam. One member using AI to reverse-engineer why content goes viral, another using it to price a brand-new product with zero guesswork.

You don't need a five-figure software budget. You need a laptop and twenty minutes a month.

Rhonda retired from special education consulting, then found herself asked by a former colleague for help with something entirely different: an AI compliance tool for IEPs. That project led to more. A budget planner she built for an attorney friend. Custom accounting software that replaced the tool she'd been paying for since she retired. In this episode, Rhonda talks about walking into her first AI workshop and understanding almost nothing, why she calls herself a creative consultant, and the moment she stopped calling herself retired and started calling it regeneration instead.

What happens when you stop telling your AI exactly what to do, and just tell it what you want?

On this special AI-hosted episode of The Human Side of AI, our AI co-hosts take the mic to unpack a video editing experiment straight out of Club Jam's Friday Caffeine & Convos call. Creator Jam handed Claude Code one raw, unedited recording and a single sentence of instruction — and walked away with a fully cut, captioned, styled YouTube video.

But the real story is what happened next: when asked which tools actually did the work, the answer wasn't the flashy AI video software everyone assumed. It was FFmpeg, a decades-old, free command-line tool nobody remembers installing. Along the way, Claude also flagged bad on-camera makeup, refused to paper over it with a filter, told Jam to just reshoot — and quietly set up video hosting for an entire course platform without being asked.

This episode breaks down:

• Why the AI skipped the expensive, flashy tools already installed in favor of an old, boring one — and what that means for how you prompt your own tools
• The moment Claude critiqued its own edit and said "go redo this"
• Which video tools are still worth paying for, and which ones this workflow makes optional
• Three open questions creators are testing this week

If you're a small business owner who's been putting off video content because it takes too long or costs too much, this episode will change how you think about your next recording.

Roya Saberzadeh has run her collegiate branded apparel business for 37 years — through her sister's death two years in, her mother's death eighteen months after that, the Northridge earthquake leveling her company from the ground up, and a COVID pivot that forced her out of the brick-and-mortar model she loved. In this episode, she talks about the seven-year mourning period she worked straight through, why she trains AI the exact same way she's trained every intern for decades, and the one question she says every founder needs to answer before they can make it through a loss that could derail everything.

It's a conversation about grief, legacy, and what "keeping someone alive" actually looks like when you build a business in their name — with the human part still fully intact.

AI can multiply what you know — but it can't replace knowing it. In this episode of Human Side of AI, our AI hosts dig into three business lessons from a recent newsletter by Jam (Real AI with Jam / Club Jam) that have nothing to do with AI at all: why Google Search Console's new social-profile integration matters for how customers actually find you, why "don't be a jerk about cancellations" might be the highest-ROI retention strategy you're not using, and why a 60-minute landing page sprint fell apart at minute 59 — and what it teaches about mapping your tech path before you build.

Source note: this episode is based on a newsletter published in early August 2026. Some specific tools, offers, or details may have changed since.

Confidence, community, and a few very cool member stories — that's this episode.

In this episode of The Human Side of AI, Jam and Flora sit down for their regular Club Jam check-in — celebrating what makes the community work and what's coming next.

We talk about:

• Member spotlights: Tony's new AI tool Wonder Reel, magician David Farr's Houdini world record, Rosalia's leap from court reporter to AI consultant, and Stacey Cassidy's AI-powered work with her daughter's pro football team
• The new beginner classroom built for members who are just getting started
• Why Club Jam is already building Black Friday offers in August — and the free 38-play playbook Flora is giving members
• What's ahead for Flora: travel, keynotes, and speaking engagements
• The real story of how Club Jam got started three years ago

If you've ever wondered what it actually looks like inside a thriving small business AI community, this one's for you.

AI agents are just a text file. That's it. This week, our AI hosts break down the no-code framework from the August 10th AI with Jam newsletter — why "agent" sounds intimidating but really just means writing a job description, onboarding your AI like a new intern, and storing everything in a local folder instead of locking yourself into one platform. Plus: the story of two AI agents that caught a broken Black Friday funnel while their human boss was in the kitchen refilling her drink. No coding required — just a pen, paper, and clarity on what you actually need help with.

Death is the most universal experience we'll all go through — and somehow still the most avoided conversation. In this episode, I talk with Niki Weiss, founder of ENDevo and a "digital thanatologist," about why that avoidance is so costly. Niki spent years as a hospice clinician before becoming a certified project manager, and now she helps people build a real plan for death, dying, and incapacitation — legal, financial, physical, and digital.

We do a live demo of setting up iPhone Legacy Contacts (turns out I didn't have mine set up either), talk through why multi-factor authentication becomes a nightmare for grieving families, and get into Niki's philosophy: Live Fully, Die Ready. If you've been putting off a will, a password plan, or just "the conversation," this one's worth the listen.

It's another Monday episode, which means the AI hosts are running the show. This episode goes inside a real Skool community to show how AI is already handling the parts that used to eat up hours: a trained brand voice, an always-on content idea bank, and DMs that answer themselves.

We break down what Skool gives you out of the box, how small business owners can turn a community into real recurring revenue, and the exact AI layer that's turning a manual community into one that runs almost on its own.

Come back next Friday for a real human on the Human Side of AI with Flora from Jam AI.

Two women meet inside one of the most intense business training programs out there (think Navy SEAL energy, but for entrepreneurs), and years later, one offhand comment about an AI assistant turns into a full-blown summit.

In this episode, Flora sits down with Juanita "Lis" Carpenter and Ceanne Livingston, co-creators of the AI Digital Growth Summit, to talk about how a connection made inside Wake Up Warrior (Garrett J. Wyatt's notoriously intense training program) turned into a partnership built on funnels, mentorship, and a shared mission to make AI genuinely usable for people who don't have time to keep up with it.

Ceanne shares how a blunt piece of mentor feedback ("your funnel effin' sucks") launched her into becoming a certified funnel builder and spending a year being personally mentored inside Russell Brunson's Two Comma Club, and how relaunching her business after stepping away to care for her mother led her back to what she loves most: interviewing people and building summits. Juanita opens up about being the quiet, mousy personal-development addict who found her voice through sales and business training, and how outreach for the summit accidentally became her new superpower.

Together, they're building something for the busy real estate professional or brick-and-mortar owner who's overwhelmed by AI hype and just wants to save time, not learn a whole new job. The AI Digital Growth Summit runs August 13-14, with practical, beginner-friendly sessions and a free resource from every speaker.

Your workday doesn't end at 5pm — it switches from managing a team to managing dinner, bills, and the rattling dryer. This episode makes the case that using AI for your personal life isn't indulgence, it's capacity management: every hour of friction removed at home is an hour of mental bandwidth returned to your business. We walk through eight areas — meals, money, health, home repairs, parenting, travel, relationships, and learning — where AI removes the low-level friction that keeps your judgment from getting used, not your judgment itself. A quick intro, then as always on Mondays, the AI hosts take over for the deep dive. We close on an uncomfortable question worth sitting with: if AI actually clears out your Saturday-morning admin, do you rest with that time, or only fill it with more work?

Mindy built Noble Beast Dog Training into a Colorado "legacy business" over 18 years — surviving the 2008 mortgage crash, a 49-employee overgrowth spiral, and four trainers who walked off with her IP.

In this episode she tells Flora how AI now runs the parts of her business she couldn't scale alone: fixing Google Ads without calling support, catching a bookkeeper's errors, drafting community content, and powering Speaking Dog, an AI app built from 18 years of training knowledge that gives dog owners real-time behavior guidance.

Mindy shares the biggest lesson from two rounds of layoffs (just because demand is there doesn't mean you should grow), why relationship-based training beats fear or punishment, and how any hands-on trade — dog training, plumbing, HVAC — can use AI to scale expertise without replacing the human connection at its core.

Peter Sage's core argument, from his book The Inside Track and his interview on The School of Greatness, is simple: the outer world follows the inner world, not the other way around. This episode takes that idea and applies it to something specific — how small business owners are using AI in sales and marketing. AI doesn't change who you are as a business owner. It makes you more of whoever you already are, faster. This episode looks at what has to shift internally before AI actually moves the needle externally.

Justin Krakow spent 15 years in cybersecurity, most recently at Dell, before deciding the work had become a checkbox exercise that no longer fit. After leaving in October 2024, he and his family — wife and three kids, ages 10 to 17 — built On Point Amenities, an AI-driven vending business in Castle Rock, Colorado, inspired by Japan's far more expansive vending culture.

In this conversation, Justin talks about why he chose vending over more obvious small-business paths, how he's using AI to handle inventory, sales tax complexity across jurisdictions, and margin analysis in an industry still running on spreadsheets and guesswork. He also shares how he's built AI into his personal routine — tracking sleep, energy, and focus to manage effects from his military service — and what he tells AI when it starts to drift off track. We close with where the business is headed over the next six months and what running it as a family actually looks like day to day.

Two massive AI launches in one week. A feed full of people telling you to abandon everything you learned three months ago. Sound familiar?

In this AI-hosted deep dive, our hosts unpack Jam Anderson's latest Substack post, The Balanced Architect, from Real AI with Jam. Instead of chasing every headline, Jam read the documentation, explored the new tools for an hour, then closed her laptop and took her daughter to the park. This episode breaks down what she learned and how you can apply it without the panic.

Together they explore:

Why most people are making a category error with AI, treating a systems engineer like a search engine

Jam's four-step framework from Club Jam: give the idea and the outcome, let it handle the messy middle, tell it to test its own work, and let it loop until it passes

The real difference between the two new releases, and why it's not about picking a side

The "AI cheat code": using one AI to audit and peer-review another AI's work

A challenge for this week: pick one small build, hand it off, and let the AI prove its own work

And a question worth chewing on: as we shift from creators to judges of AI work, what does it mean to stay an expert in your field?

What if you ran your health the way you run your business, with metrics, strategy, and a clear vision for where you're headed?

In this episode, Flora sits down with Regan Archibald, longevity expert, founder of Ageless Future, and co-founder of FoundersFuel.co. Regan has served over 70,000 clients, reviewed more than 10,000 blood panels, and holds a newly awarded patent for the Ageless Future Operating System. He shares his journey from an Idaho cattle ranch and years of undiagnosed autoimmune illness to helping healthy people get even healthier through targeted labs, peptides, and innovative therapies.

Together they explore:

Why the four biggest factors in longevity are money, relationships, purpose, and time, and where the physical body fits in

The Lifetime Extender exercise that helps you pick a number for how long you want to live (and why that number matters)

How your gut informs your immune system, and what chemically laden foods do to it

How Regan's team uses a custom AI co-pilot and years of trained data to analyze labs and move toward digital twins for every client

Why he says practicing medicine without AI will eventually be malpractice

His advice for overwhelmed business owners: play as hard as you work, and don't wait for a crisis to take your health seriously

On June 9th, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5, the most capable AI model ever released to the public. Three days later, the US government invoked national security export controls and the entire system went dark worldwide.

In this AI-hosted deep dive, our hosts unpack the whole story: what makes Fable 5 different from every model before it, why the public version and the government-restricted Mythos 5 are the exact same model separated only by safety guardrails, and how "safety as the product" is reshaping what AI companies actually sell. Then the drama: the jailbreak that triggered the shutdown, the two-week standoff with Washington, the new 30-day data retention rule that came with reinstatement, and what it all means for the businesses and everyday users caught in the middle.

Access was restored July 1st, and Fable 5 is available right now on the Claude platform. If you use Claude in your business, this episode is the context you need for the tools you're working with every single day.

Everyone is learning AI. Everyone is building apps. Almost nobody is teaching you how to actually market what you build. Jam Anderson came back from the Women Building AI event in Salt Lake City with that realization, and it lit a fire under something big: the AI Marketing Sprint, launching inside Club Jam on August 1st.

In this episode, Jam and Flora break down exactly what the sprint covers: your brand and story, your website, SEO, blogging that posts every single day on autopilot, social channels that run themselves, ManyChat for top-of-funnel, and even AI voice and podcasting with ElevenLabs. Jam also reveals she is building a brand-new side hustle from scratch alongside members (hint: it involves her other lifelong passion), with a goal of six figures in six months, fully automated.

You will hear what to budget for, why the sprint works in 10 to 15 minute daily micro-lessons you can batch on a weekend, how it differs from the Go-Giver Challenge, and why every week stands alone so you can jump in wherever you are. Best part: it is included with your Club Jam membership. No upsell.

Phase zero starts Saturday, August 1st for anyone beginning from ground zero. Marketing kicks off Monday, August 3rd. July is your month to catch up on the Zero to Claude Sprint if you have not done it yet.

What happens when a community of small business owners spends 10 days using AI to practice generosity?

They don't just get better at prompting. They get better at giving. And at receiving, which it turns out is the harder skill.

In this episode, our AI hosts unpack the Club Jam Go-Giver Challenge: 10 days, five laws, and one community discovering that the highest use of artificial intelligence isn't to make you louder. It's to get out of your own way.

You'll hear about the metal detector theory of authenticity, why generosity can't be a mood, the cold plunge moment that stopped everyone cold, and why the ask column on your 30-day plan might be the most important thing you do this month.

The Human Side of AI publishes Mondays and Fridays. Find us wherever you listen to podcasts.

What if the concepts behind great marketing have never actually changed, only the methods have? Marvin Drobes would know. With 50+ years in sales, marketing, and advertising and nearly two decades running his digital agency, Marvin has watched the landscape shift from print ads and Yellow Pages to Google Business Profiles and AI, and he's stayed standing through all of it.

In this episode, Marvin joins Flora to talk about what it really means to help local businesses stop competing and start dominating, his take on why most small business owners are using AI all wrong, and how a chance recommendation from his mentor led him to Google NotebookLM and a podcast strategy that tripled his downloads.

He also makes the case that AI is no longer a competitive advantage. It's the new baseline. And if you're still asking it to just write an email, you might be leaving a lot on the table.

You'll hear Marvin's thoughts on prompt engineering, client selection, the shiny object syndrome, and why a website that speaks to the reader, not about you, is still the most powerful tool a business can have.

Brent LaGrange is a doctor of physical therapy from Denver, Colorado, a lifelong tinkerer, and someone who woke up from a coma on his birthday and realized his family had no way to reach anyone. No contacts, no calendar, no plan.

That experience sent him down a path of building something that didn't exist yet. He's not a developer. He's an entrepreneur who decided to stop waiting for permission.

In this episode, Brent talks about training AI on movement and rehabilitation modalities most therapists can't integrate, his personal agent setup that lets multiple AI tools compete for the best answer, the 90-10 philosophy he learned from the AI Surfer, and Glidewell, his new company helping people navigate end-of-life planning at any stage of life.

If you've ever felt like you needed someone else to build the thing you're imagining, this one is for you.

Claude ships two autonomous agents -- and most people don't know the difference, or why it matters.

In this episode, our AI hosts go deep on Claude Cowork and Claude Code: how they actually think, act, and remember, why only 1.6% of Claude Code's source code is actual AI logic, and what the five-layer memory pipeline means for how these tools handle your work.

Plus: why Thomson Reuters dropped 16% in a single day after Anthropic's plugin release, what enterprise security teams are quietly panicking about, and a closing question worth sitting with long after the episode ends.

This one came straight from our Club Jam community -- inspired by members working through the current Claude Sprint.

Olesya grew up in the final years of the Soviet Union -- born in Azerbaijan, displaced by ethnic war at nine, raising herself through the chaos of 1990s Russia alongside an entrepreneurial single mother who had company registration number one in their region.

By 21, she had two university degrees with honors and a scholarship to Boston. By 26, she had her own lighting design firm in Moscow. By her 40s, she had lived in four countries, filed five patents, built and lost a decade of investment in a cross-continental business when the Russia-Ukraine war hit, and then rebuilt her entire tech team -- replacing seven experienced developers in three months -- using AI.

In this conversation, Olesya shares the mindset behind that kind of resilience, why most people are misusing AI (hint: they're skipping the methodology), and why she believes we have a very short window right now to learn deeply before the opportunity closes.

What you'll take away:

• Why building a methodology before touching any tool is the real competitive edge
• How Olesya used Claude to replace an entire dev team and ship a product
• What it means to "feed the beast" and how to make sure you're the one profiting first
• Her practical advice for small business owners: write down what you do each day, then ask -- what can the machine do instead?

This episode is for anyone who has ever been pushed to start over -- and chose to build something better.

What actually happens when you spend six weeks learning Claude from the ground up? In this episode, our AI hosts do a full recap of the Zero to Claude Sprint — Club Jam's newest training program where members go from AI beginners to builders.

We trace the full arc: getting past the search engine mindset, connecting your real tools like Gmail and HubSpot through MCP, building Skills so Claude stops forgetting who you are, creating Projects to keep your contexts clean, and finally stacking workflows so the whole system runs without you.

Layered underneath all of it is the bigger question the sprint keeps coming back to: if AI handles the busywork and gives you your time back, what are you actually going to do with it?

In this episode, Flora sits down with Jonathan, known online as Dr. AI, a Southern California-based automation strategist and educator who went from $32,000 in debt and two months behind on rent to empowering over 500 entrepreneurs with AI and automation systems. Jonathan shares how necessity turned him into a self-taught coder and robotics builder, why he believes entrepreneurs in early traction shouldn't seek balance, and how he's helping coaches and consultants become the bottleneck in their own business and then get themselves out of it. He also breaks down his four core systems that can save business owners up to $2,000 a month in overhead, and the moment a live stream viewer gave him his name.

Jess Pischel didn't plan to be an AI consultant. She spent years in corporate learning and development, had a few babies, stepped back from the road-warrior consulting life, and eventually found her way back to the work she loved through a SCORE webinar and a community called Club Jam.

Now she runs Human First AI Consulting out of Cleveland, helping small to mid-sized businesses figure out where AI actually fits in their operations before spending a dime on fancy tools. Her philosophy? People, process, technology. In that order. Always.

In this episode, Jess talks about helping a funeral home automate data entry so directors can be more present with grieving families, building a morning briefing agent for a California general contractor driving between 10 job sites a day, and why the biggest mistake most businesses make is skipping straight to the chatbot. She also shares how Ohio's TechCred program reimburses businesses 100% for AI training and why she built a course for it.

If you've been waiting for permission to start small, this one's for you.

Every Monday on The Human Side of AI, I hand the mic to our AI hosts so I can show up fully for the things only a human can do. And this week's topic hit close to home.

Friday's guest, Katherine Gruenberg of AI Powered Social, is one of the sharpest minds I know when it comes to social media strategy for small business owners. But when we sat down together we went so deep on her House Manager OS concept — AI systems for reducing the mental load of running a home — that social media never made it into the conversation.

That gap inspired this episode.

Our AI hosts pulled from the biggest voices in the industry — Buffer, Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Social Media Examiner, and Neil Patel — and filtered everything through one ruthless lens: what actually works when you're time-strapped, overwhelmed, and posting into what feels like a void.

What's inside:

• Why you should never create content from scratch again
• How to research your audience in under a minute using free AI tools
• The visual consistency hack that requires zero design skills
• How to sound more human by handing your words to a robot first
• A dead-simple way to know what's actually working — no spreadsheet required

And it ends with a question worth sitting with: when AI makes everyone's content look polished and perfect, what becomes the new premium?

Want to go deeper on social media strategy? Katherine is the expert — reach her at info@aipoweredsocial.com.

Back Friday with another human-powered episode.

What if your home could run like a well-managed business -- without you having to be the one running it all the time?

In this episode, Flora sits down with Katherine Gruenberg, founder of AI-Powered Social and creator of the AI House Manager, an operating system designed to take the mental load of home management off your plate so you can show up fully for your work and your life.

Katherine's path is one for the books -- from running a 50s diner and motel in the Adirondack Mountains, to 9 years in Las Vegas where she discovered tech, to building an AI-powered business that is now part of the Anthropic Partner Network. And through all of it, she kept running into the same problem that most busy people face: the invisible labor of just keeping life running.

In this conversation, you will hear:

• How Katherine is using AI to organize, automate, and manage her home -- from meal planning to nighttime routines to home finances
• The phone automation she built that pulls up her shopping list the moment she arrives at the store
• Why most productivity tools miss the mark (hint: they focus on output instead of stress relief)
• How she unpacked and organized an entire kitchen in 4 hours using photos and ChatGPT
• Her simple starting point for anyone who wants to apply this today: one problem, one tool

This episode is for the mom who has 47 tabs open in her brain before she sits down to work. The entrepreneur who keeps forgetting that tonight is sports night. The human who just wants a little less friction between where they are and where they're trying to go.

Katherine's AI House Manager is still in development, but she is building it to be accessible -- and she is sharing prompts and resources in the meantime so stay tuned for that!

Angie Smith spent 25 years at AT&T before finding herself at a turning point. Instead of searching for another corporate role, she launched Angie Smith Summit Consulting and went all in on three things she had been building quietly for years: a life coaching practice, a podcast, and a public speaking career.

In this episode Angie talks about what it actually feels like to leave a 25-year career and start over, how she works with professional women navigating personal and professional transition through the Unbreakable Life framework, and why she thinks the skills that made her successful in corporate America, trust-building, human connection, and communication, are the same ones that make her an effective coach.

She also shares where AI fits into her new chapter. She is currently in Jamout.ai's Zero to Claude sprint and has been using Claude to find her brand voice and explore podcast sponsorships. For someone who leads with human connection, she has a refreshingly honest take on what AI can and cannot do for the work she cares about most.

Plus: her TEDx talk on the power of imagination is coming in January 2027 in partnership with LEGO. That one is worth the listen alone.

We talk a lot about using AI to save time. This episode asks a harder question: what are you actually saving it for?

The AI Time Reclamation Act flips the usual productivity conversation on its head. Instead of asking how AI can help you do more, it asks how AI can help you be more present: with your family, your creativity, your own inner life.

In this episode we get into cognitive load theory and why your brain treats scheduling a meeting the same way it treats a major life decision. We talk about the vacuum problem, what happens when you successfully free up time and then immediately fill it with more screen time. And we dig into the guardrails that actually make this work: AI handles the preparation, you handle the presence.

This one is not about hacks or efficiency. It is about what becomes possible when the machine handles the friction and you finally have the energy to show up for the parts of life that actually matter.

Jennifer Browning has spent 12 years at Austin Community College, the last five and a half of them as a Senior Area Study Advising Specialist. She also serves as the elected VP of Marketing and Communications for TEXAAN, the Texas Academic Advising Network, managing social media, newsletters, webinars, a quarterly journal, a mentorship program, and an annual statewide conference, all while holding down her full time advising role.

In this episode Jennifer talks about the surprising duality of those two worlds, how supporting students every day gives her a ground level view of what advisors across the state also need, and how AI has quietly become the thing that makes switching between those two very different headspaces actually possible.

She also gets real about where AI fits in academic advising right now, how she talks to students about using it as a tool rather than a shortcut, and the catch-22 of advising computer science students in a job market being reshaped by the very technology they are studying.

Most people try AI once, get a weird robotic answer, and go back to doing things the hard way. This episode is about what happens when you stop dabbling and actually build something.

Today we break down Zero to Claude, Jamout.ai's six-week sprint that takes you from staring at a blank chat box to having a fully integrated AI system working inside your business. We unpack every phase of the framework: setting up Claude the right way, building custom prompts that actually sound like you, solving the amnesia problem so you stop re-explaining yourself every time you open a new chat, connecting Claude to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, and finally building one real thing from your actual business that did not exist before.

The goal was never to replace you. It was to free you up to do more of what only a human can do.

What do you do when your entire career gets derailed by domestic violence? If you're Charlotte Habegger, you rebuild from scratch, raise three kids, homeschool them for a decade, and quietly build nine businesses, projects, and nonprofits along the way.

Charlotte is a biochemist turned serial entrepreneur, connector, and advocate based in Quebec, Canada. In this conversation, she shares how she went from studying RNA and protein interactions to becoming one of the top performers in her direct sales company, how her scientific mind shaped the way she builds and leads, and how AI has become the tool that lets her do more of what actually matters.

We talk about time blocking, building women's networks, why she doesn't believe in competition, and what she means when she says she wants to be the first woman on Mars. We also get into the real talk: how she used AI to reclaim time, why knowing what you want is the prerequisite to everything, and what post-separation violence is and why she built the world's first resource platform for survivors.

This is a Friday episode, which means real people, real stories, real AI use. Charlotte is all three.

Over a billion people use AI every week. Most of them are using it wrong. Not because they're bad at technology — because nobody explained how it actually works.

In this episode, we break down the single most important reframe for anyone using AI in their business: AI is not a database. It's a relator. It doesn't retrieve facts — it connects patterns. And once you understand that distinction, everything changes.

We cover:

• Why AI hallucinates (and why that's a feature, not a bug)
• The strength zone vs. the weakness zone — and what belongs in each
• The one question to ask before you type any prompt
• A real-world example of how agencies get burned using AI the wrong way

If you've ever felt frustrated, confused, or let down by AI — this episode is your reset.
