    Drew Donaldson watched AI collapse his marketing agency, then used it to build 21 platforms in 18 months.

    Episode 66: What Happens When You Add AI Before You Have Systems?

    She's been building systems for years. Here's why she finally turned it into an AI agency. On this 66th episode of the Scale You podcast, Le-an Lai Lacaba, creator of BOSAI and co-founder of 2xYou, opens Season 6 by breaking down what an AI agency actually is and why she built BOSAI as a systems first agency instead of just another automation shop. She walks through how BOSAI started as a business operating system inside 2xYou, why so many business owners hire an assistant before they have any systems in place, and how that gap turns into wasted hires and AI tools nobody actually uses. Le-an also shares how she uses Claude and Codex differently in her own workflow, why she believes AI is replacing tasks and not people, and what's coming this season as she sits down with other AI agency owners. If you're thinking about starting an AI agency, adding AI into your business, or figuring out where automation actually fits, this episode gives you a real look at how one agency owner is building it from scratch. Listen now to hear the full story behind BOSAI and what's coming this season. 🔥 Let Le-an and her AI-enabled team map out your systems and figure out exactly where AI fits into your business. 👉 https://webuildaisystems.com/ Let's connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leanlailacaba   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/leanlailacaba LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leanlailacaba TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@leanlailacaba Website: https://2xyou.com/
