I’ll also be speaking with entrepreneurs, marketers, and business leaders who are using AI in innovative ways, so we can learn from their experiences.

    How To Write And Publish A Book Using AI (Step by Step)

    Have you always wanted to write a book, but felt overwhelmed by the process? In this episode, I break down exactly how I wrote and published a business book in six weeks using AI, step by step. Not by letting AI “write the book for me”, but by using AI in three very specific roles that make the process faster, clearer, and far less intimidating. I show you how to use AI as: A book coach – to help you plan, structure, and clarify what your book is really about A ghostwriter – to interview you, extract your ideas and stories, and turn them into a first draft in your own voice An editor – to critique, refine, and improve the writing without losing authenticity This approach keeps you in control of the ideas, while AI does the heavy lifting around structure, momentum, and polish. You will learn: How to plan a non-fiction book using AI as a thinking partner How to train AI to write in your tone of voice How to use AI interviews to turn spoken ideas into written chapters How to use one AI model to assess the work of a different one and improve it How to format a book for print and ebook How to self-publish a book on Amazon using KDP How to turn a book into a credibility and authority asset I also share the real workflow I used, the mistakes I made, and what surprised me along the way. Writing a book no longer needs to take years, or feel like an impossible project. If you are a founder, consultant, marketer, or business owner who has always thought “one day I’ll write a book”, this video is designed to show you a practical way to finally make that happen.

    Create SOPs with AI in 10 Minutes

    Most businesses avoid documenting their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)… until it hurts. In this episode, I show a 10-minute AI workflow to turn a quick screen recording + commentary into a clear, agent-ready SOP. You’ll see what worked (NotebookLM) and what didn’t (my first ChatGPT upload), plus the exact prompt + guardrails I use so AI sticks to your source and doesn’t invent steps. You’ll learn The fast record → transcribe → generate SOP method Why SOPs = strategic advantage for the 2026 AI agent wave My ChatGPT vs NotebookLM test (wins + fails and the workaround) How to write guardrails (“use only the video/transcript”) to stop AI adding steps Adding acceptance checks & flowcharts so someone (or an agent) can follow it Future-proofing: document intent + steps, and keep passwords out of SOPs Chapters 00:00 The Importance of SOPs in Business 01:00 What is an SOP and why are they important? 02:41 What business processes require an SOP? 03:21 How to create an SOP document using AI' 05:44 Demonstration of my SOP for podcast publishing 15:46 Future-Proofing Your SOPs 16:48 Summary and outro Here is the refined prompt I used ROLE: You are an expert process documentation specialist.  CONTEXT: Attached is a screen recording/transcript of “[PROCESS NAME] at [COMPANY]. TASK: Create a clear, self-contained SOP that a new person can follow and an AI agent can learn from.  STYLE: Concise, action verbs, scannable bullets. IMPORTANT: Use only the information contained in the video recording and/or transcript. Do not include any steps or information not explicitly in the video. Instead, Flag missing info as OPEN QUESTIONS. BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION: Do you have any questions? If this helped, subscribe for weekly, practical AI for business owners. Share this with someone who keeps “meaning to” document processes. Got a question or a win?  Drop it in the comments—I read them. #SOP #AI
