    Bringing AI Into the Mix Without Losing the Human Part ft. Amirah Raveneau-Bey & Hays Waldrop

    Amirah Raveneau-Bey has spent more than twenty-five years helping companies navigate growth, from Fortune 500 organizations to high-growth tech companies. She's the founder of Grow Scale Develop, where she serves as a strategic revenue advisor and executive coach to founders and leadership teams, helping them uncover what's really standing in the way of scale, whether that's strategy, leadership, or execution. Hays Waldrop has spent over twenty years building the Institute of Healthcare Executives and Suppliers (IHES), a company that connects healthcare's most influential leaders through private, invitation-only meetings. As founder and CEO, he's built a network of more than 6,500 executives and suppliers across hospital, pharmacy, and supply chain leadership. Amirah and Hays run very different businesses, but they've both figured out how to bring AI into the mix without losing the human part of the work. In this episode, we get into the moment Amirah stopped treating AI as a content generator and started treating it as a thought partner, why Hays taught himself to build his own tools with AI, and all sorts of advice for entrepreneurs who are just starting out. We also play a round of "Bot or Not," putting their instincts to the test on what should go to AI and what shouldn't. What we cover: The moment each guest knew they were becoming a real entrepreneurAdvice for small business owners who are just starting outTips for folks who are hesitant to begin using AIThe tools they swear by: Calendly, Claude, Cowork, Whisper Flow, and LovableA rapid-fire round of "Bot or Not," covering everything from drafting emails to picking a karaoke songFind Amirah: Website: growscaledevelop.comLinkedIn: Amirah Raveneau-BeyFind Hays: Website: ihesllc.comLinkedIn: Hays WaldropDon't miss the extra content from this episode on our Substack, Many Hats.

    Saying Yes to the Work That Brings You Joy ft. Jayde I. Powell

    Jayde I. Powell is a creatorpreneur and social media strategist based in Atlanta, Georgia. She's the founder of The Em Dash Co — a social-first creative agency — and the host of Creator Tea Talk, a community all about careers, content, and culture. She's also one of the sharpest voices in the creator economy today. In this episode, we get into how a failed finance class sent Jayde down a completely different path, the cupcake business she ran at eighteen, and the real story behind The Em Dash Co's name (she was using em dashes long before ChatGPT made them trendy). We also dig into how she balances creator life with client strategy work, her rule for taking on new opportunities, and the tactics that solved her payment problems. What we cover: The jump from corporate life to founderWhy every new opportunity needs to pass the "Will I regret this in six months?" testLate fees and upfront deposits as the fix for slow-paying clientsWhy she's still cold-pitching brands even with inbound coming inThe tools she swears by: Calendly, Canva, and NotionWhy she's saying no thank you to free "pick your brain" callsFind Jayde: Website: theemdashco.comInstagram: @jaydeipowellLinkedIn: Jayde I.

    How I Work

    You know those people who are somehow doing everything? Running the business, booking the clients, doing the actual work... and figuring it out as they go? That's who this show is for. Every episode, we sit down with someone who's built something real, and we get into all of it. It's part talk show, part game show, part therapy session. So pull up a chair. Or, ya know, go for a walk, fold your laundry, reorganize your desk, whatever you've got going on. This one's for you. This is How I Work.

    Managing Your Business on Your Own Terms ft. Pua Pakele

    Pua Pakele is a brand strategist, digital designer, and founder of RBL Media out of Hawaii. She's spent the last decade helping entrepreneurs build brands that don't just look good but actually convert. She's also a podcast host, board member, hula dancer, and yes, she can build you a website in 24 hours (kind of, she'll explain). In this episode, we get into how Pua accidentally started not one but two businesses, why she lasted less than a year back in the workforce after COVID, and how the word "rebel" is tied to her company's name. We also dig into her biweekly deep-work system, what it's like to make clients cry happy tears on reveal calls, and the revision cycle from hell that changed how she runs projects. What we cover: How a gym job, a podcast, and a pandemic led to RBL MediaWhy Pua structures her schedule by week, not just by dayThe real story behind the "24-hour" website buildStorytelling as the foundation of every brand she builds, and why that connects to her Hawaiian rootsThe tools she swears by: Calendly, Shift, and CanvaHer no thank you: unlimited revisions, and the smarter system she built insteadFind Pua: Website: rblmedia.co Instagram: @rblmedia LinkedIn: Pua Pakele Don't miss the extra content from this episode on our Substack, Many Hats.
