489: How to Start a Side Hustle with AI (feat. Nadeen Matthews Blair)


Listen Later

This week in the guest chair, we have someone very special, my sister, Nadeen Matthews Blair and her pivot story is going to speak directly to anyone who’s ever felt called to reinvent themselves.


After 20 years in banking, management consulting, and C-suite leadership, Nadeen hit a point where the titles, the pressure, and the nonstop demands were no longer aligned with the life she wanted for herself and her family. So she did what so many high-achieving women fear doing: she stepped back, listened to the whisper, and chose a new path.


That path led her to Crescent Advisory Group, where she now teaches professionals, creatives, and new entrepreneurs how to use AI with confidence. What’s wild is that she built the entire business using just four beginner-friendly AI tools and today, she’s breaking them all down for you.


Whether you’re in a pivot, launching a side hustle, or trying to understand where AI fits into your next chapter, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a simple starting point.


In This Episode, Nadeen Shares:

  • How she pivoted from a demanding corporate career into full-time entrepreneurship
  • Why early consulting and workshop opportunities found her before she officially launched
  • How AI tools like Perplexity, Gamma, Looka, and Namelix helped her build her brand, website, and business foundation fast
  • Why AI is the most powerful leverage tool for side hustlers in 2025
  • How redefining success around flexibility, family, and purpose shaped her new chapter
  • What she’s teaching thousands of people in her beginner-friendly AI webinars


If you’ve been feeling the pull to pivot or you’re curious about how to use AI without feeling overwhelmed, this is your episode.
