BUSINESS GROWTH PILLAR: AI & Automation
WHO THIS PODCAST IS FOR
Startup founders, solopreneurs, small business owners, coaches, consultants, and scaling SMB leaders.
WHAT THEY’LL GAIN
Actionable AI automation strategies, smarter research workflows, productivity shortcuts, and real-world business growth systems.
The Problem Percy Solves:
Percy Barr helps small business owners stop wasting time on underused tools and start using AI and automation to grow faster and smarter.
Most entrepreneurs buy powerful software. Then they barely use it.
In this East Trade Winds Mastermind session, Percy Barr shares a simple truth: growth does not come from buying more tools. It comes from exploring the ones you already have.
Percy walks us through the four tools that automated his business: ChatGPT, GoHighLevel, Canva, and Zoom. But this is not a surface-level tech talk. It is a behind-the-scenes look at how AI automation really works for small and medium businesses.
He explains how ChatGPT’s Deep Research feature can uncover company insights, past business history, and public financial data. He shows how Shopping Research compares products instantly. He breaks down Study & Learn mode, which teaches new topics in minutes. He even shares how quiz tools, personalization settings, group chats, and temporary chats create smarter, cleaner AI workflows.

• Use ChatGPT for advanced business research
