Why you should listen

1. Discover the simple formula for calculating ROI on AI tools before you implement them, so you stop wasting money on platforms you'll never use.
2. Leandra reveals how she helps burnt-out business owners fall back in love with their companies while scaling revenue—without adding more to their plate.
3. Learn why the most effective automations aren't the flashy AI agents everyone's talking about, but strategic tweaks to tools you already own.

You're stuck at a revenue ceiling and drowning in delivery work. Every "AI solution" promises to save you time, but you're paralyzed by options and skeptical of the hype. Meanwhile, you're working harder than ever with nothing to show for it.

In this episode, I sit down with Leandra Nisbet from Stingray Advisory Group to cut through the AI noise. Leandra shares her battle-tested approach to helping consultants scale without burning out using practical automation that actually moves the needle. We dig into why chasing every new AI tool is killing your productivity, how to know if an implementation will pay off before you start, and why human expertise still wins over bots.
