Ever rolled out an AI tool… and everything seemed tocollapse in real time?

Emails firing at the wrong customers. Tasks assigned to the wrong people. Ghost automations waking up at 6:47 AM. Team members confused. You stepping in as the human fire extinguisher—again.

You’re not alone. And more importantly… it’s not thetool.

In this episode, Kim and Hal unpack the hard truth mostowners miss:
AI doesn’t break your business. AI reveals it.
Fast. Brutally. And usually before you’ve had your first cup of coffee.

If you’re an Olivia-style solopreneur feeling stretched thin… a Mike trying to modernize traditional operations… or an Alex working to build a resilient, future-proof organization… this episode lands right where you live.

Together, Kim and Hal walk through:

• The three places misalignment shows up first when AI enters the chat
• Why teams blame training, owners blame tools, and the real problem started months before
• How to use alignment as your competitive advantage instead of your Achilles’ heel
• Mike’s story—where a simple scheduling tool revealed a system crack he didn’t know existed

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only thing holding your business together… this one’s going to feel like oxygen.---
