AIBiZ

In this episode of AIBiz with Avik Chakraborty, sales strategist and coach Justine Beauregard challenges the hype around AI and reveals why the real power of artificial intelligence is not about shortcuts—it’s about refinement. Together, Avik and Justine unpack how entrepreneurs are misusing AI, why relying on it as a “magic wand” dilutes authenticity, and how business leaders can use it strategically without losing their human edge.

This conversation dives deep into the balance between automation and intuition, why clarity is the ultimate shortcut, and how AI can enhance—not replace—our skills. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by AI tools or tempted to outsource your instincts, this episode will help you rethink how to use AI as a partner, not a crutch.

About the Guest:  

Justine Beauregard is a lifelong entrepreneur, award-winning sales strategist, and host of the podcast Why You Hate Sales. She has helped her clients generate over $10M in added sales and is known for transforming the way people think about selling. Through her coaching, Justine makes sales simple, human, and profitable.

Key Takeaways  

AI is not human—it’s automation and process. Entrepreneurs must stop treating it as a replacement for lived experience.

The biggest mistake: outsourcing instincts and intuition to AI, which makes content sound robotic and strategy fall flat.

Use AI to refine, not to start. Bring your authentic stories, experiences, and insights first, then let AI help shape them.

Clarity is the real shortcut—know what you’re saying and who you’re serving before opening the laptop.

Asking better questions of AI trains you to ask better questions in business, relationships, and life.

Businesses that rely too heavily on AI will begin to look like commodities, while those who lead with distinctive human edge will stand out.

Sales isn’t about scripts or shortcuts—it’s about curiosity, relationships, and solving the real root problem.

Community and shared learning amplify the benefits of AI far more than working in isolation.

In this episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dominic Levesque, CEO and co-founder of Nexwav, author of Avoiding Avalanches, and a leader who bridges AI, HR transformation, and the human side of business. Dominic draws parallels between snowboarding adventures and navigating organizational change, showing how resilience, preparation, and adaptability can mean the difference between thriving and failing.

From his near-miss experience on the Alps to leading through crises like the 2008 recession and COVID-19, Dominic shares hard-earned leadership lessons that blend innovation with empathy. This conversation dives into the future of HR, balancing technology with people, and why curiosity, creativity, and authenticity are essential for sustainable business growth.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, executive, or someone curious about leadership in today’s AI-powered world, this episode will inspire you to think differently about bold moves and transformation.

About the Guest  :

Dominic Levesque is the CEO and co-founder of Nexwav Solutions, where he is reshaping HR with AI-driven insights and deep human expertise. A former punk rocker, hockey player, and snowboarder turned executive, Dominic is also the author of two books, including Avoiding Avalanches, which has become a U.S. bestseller. He brings a unique blend of adventure, resilience, and leadership wisdom to help organizations navigate complexity and thrive.

Key Takeaways  

Leadership is like navigating a mountain—without preparation, the right people, and tools, businesses risk collapse.

Crises like the 2008 financial downturn and COVID-19 teach leaders to adapt, stay transparent, and lead with heart.

Passion and personal pursuits (sports, music, adventure) shape leadership styles, resilience, and creativity.

Curiosity and asking the right questions are more valuable than having all the answers in today’s fast-changing business world.

HR must move from transactional tasks to becoming a true driver of business value, culture, and sustainable growth.

Balancing innovation with empathy means giving people purpose, communicating clearly, and involving them in the process.

True leadership isn’t about being perfect—it’s about consistency, authenticity, and trusting the process over time.

In this episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with serial entrepreneur Colin Hirdman to explore why custom GPTs are the next frontier for digital entrepreneurship. Colin shares how his latest venture, Wrapt (wrappt.ai), allows anyone to transform their GPT into a fully branded, ownable app in minutes—no code, no engineering team, and no barriers.
They dive into why the future of AI belongs to builders, how businesses can monetize custom GPTs, and why data ownership, user experience, and brand control matter more than ever in the AI revolution. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, startup founder, or innovator, this conversation gives you a roadmap to building with AI instead of being left behind.

About the Guest  

Colin Hirdman is a seasoned entrepreneur and co-founder of Monkey Island Ventures, which has launched over a dozen businesses generating $100M+ in revenue. His latest project, Wrapt, is revolutionizing the way entrepreneurs and businesses deploy AI by giving them full ownership and monetization of their custom GPT apps.

Key Takeaways  

The future of AI belongs to builders, not just coders—entrepreneurs who embrace AI will stay ahead.

Businesses that fail to integrate AI as a companion risk being left behind.

Custom GPTs solve real pain points by embedding expertise into large language models.

Ownership matters—control your brand, data, and user journey instead of relying solely on generic GPT links.

Wrapt makes it possible to launch GPT-powered apps in minutes, complete with branding, domains, and monetization.

Companies can use custom GPTs both externally (for clients and products) and internally (for HR, training, and operations).

Monetization options range from subscription models to client-specific workspaces, opening new revenue streams.

The AI revolution is about moving fast with intention—ownership and speed will define winners in this space.

In this episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Yaakov Sash, founder of Casso.ai and former head of Digital Asset Markets Tech at Credit Suisse. With a background building high-stakes systems at Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, and Deutsche Bank, Yaakov brings a unique perspective on how AI is transforming software development.

This conversation cuts through the hype around AI coding and explores the real challenges behind prompts, architecture, and traceability. From the pitfalls of “vibe coding” to why functional specs and regulatory compliance matter more than ever, this episode offers a practical roadmap for startups, enterprises, and solo developers navigating the future of AI builds.

If you’ve ever struggled with vague prompts, spaghetti code, or wondered how AI coding will reshape the industry in the next five years, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

About the Guest  

Yaakov Sash is the founder of Casso.ai, a platform pioneering “vibecrafting” — the missing step between what we mean and what AI builds. He is a former head of Digital Asset Markets Tech at Credit Suisse and has led major technology initiatives at Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, and Deutsche Bank. His work focuses on AI-native software development, compliance-ready builds, and bridging business requirements with production-ready code.

Key Takeaways  

The biggest challenge in AI coding isn’t speed — it’s architecture and validation.

Many non-technical users get stuck when the “magic” of AI-generated apps wears off, revealing hidden complexity.

Enterprises already rely heavily on Excel and Google Sheets, but AI coding could replace these fragile systems with more robust solutions.

Casso.ai is rethinking software development by enabling traceability from business requirements to running code.

Future developers won’t write most of the code — AI will — but validation, compliance, and alignment will require more skilled developers than ever before.

Yaakov predicts that in the next five years, humans may no longer be writing code directly, but their role will be essential in reviewing and guiding AI outputs.

 In this insightful episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Gina Cano — first-generation Latina tech executive, transformation strategist, and founder of Unapologetic Tech — to break down the myths, fears, and cultural barriers around artificial intelligence. Gina shares real-world examples of how AI is already part of our daily lives, explains why you don’t need to be “techy” to start using it, and reveals how small business owners, students, and everyday innovators can use AI to save time, reduce overwhelm, and focus on what they truly love. This conversation will shift how you view AI — from something intimidating to an empowering tool anyone can learn.

About the Guest:
Gina Cano is a global tech leader, keynote speaker, and author of Unapologetically You: Your Guide to Rise Without Compromise. She has led multimillion-dollar initiatives, created leadership frameworks like “Gina and Badass,” and champions bringing cultural perspectives into tech innovation. Through Unapologetic Tech, she makes AI and technology accessible to underserved communities and non-technical audiences. Learn more at ginacano.com.

Key Takeaways:

You’re already using AI daily — from GPS navigation to Netflix recommendations — even if you don’t realize it.

The first step to using AI effectively is simple: be curious and start asking questions.

AI can automate repetitive tasks like invoicing, customer follow-ups, and scheduling, freeing time for work you enjoy.

You don’t need to understand the technical “how” of AI to benefit from it — focus on outcomes that matter to you.

Cultural and emotional barriers can keep communities from embracing tech; breaking it down into relatable analogies makes it less intimidating.

AI will replace some repetitive tasks, but it can’t replace creativity, problem-solving, or the ability to connect dots.

Including diverse cultural perspectives in AI development makes the technology more accurate, inclusive, and less biased.

It’s never too late to learn — being a lifelong student ensures you’re never “behind” in the tech conversation.

The best way to start is to integrate AI into small, everyday tasks and build confidence over time.

AI should be a tool that works for people, not something that replaces or controls them.

In this episode of AIBiz, host Sana speaks with Austin McMillan, founder of Flywheel Financial, about the real-world integration of AI into bookkeeping and financial operations. Far from being a threat to jobs, Austin reveals how AI tools like ChatGPT agents are streamlining repetitive tasks, freeing teams to focus on high-value advisory work and human connection. From automating journal entries across multiple clients to creating an internal “Flywheel Advisor” AI brain for decision-making, Austin shares practical, tested strategies—not hype—that are already transforming operations. This conversation breaks down misconceptions about AI replacing humans and shows how aligning people, processes, and purpose can make businesses more profitable, scalable, and future-ready.

About the Guest  

Austin McMillan is a former Wall Street trader turned financial strategist and the founder of Flywheel Financial, where he helps small businesses grow profitably by aligning their teams, systems, and goals. Known for integrating tools like the Enneagram and Working Genius with cutting-edge AI, Austin is redefining bookkeeping as a proactive, relationship-driven service.

Key Takeaways  

AI’s biggest impact in bookkeeping right now is automating repetitive, task-driven processes, allowing humans to focus on analysis and relationship-building.

ChatGPT “agents” can be trained like digital assistants to execute multi-step tasks across platforms, such as processing journal entries for multiple clients at once.

A hybrid model—AI doing 80% of the work with human quality checks—ensures accuracy and maintains trust.

Growth-minded teams embrace AI as a lever to free time for higher-value work, not as a threat to job security.

AI can serve as an internal “second brain,” offering decision support based on company values, principles, and strategy.

Leveraging AI allows firms to scale revenue without proportional increases in headcount, boosting margins and client impact.

Profitability grows when AI streamlines back-office operations, freeing owners to focus on strategic goals.

Building client trust comes from high-touch advisory services, not just delivering automated reports.

In this episode of AIBiz, we go beyond the buzzwords to uncover the real impact of Artificial Intelligence in business. Joined by AI strategist, bestselling author, and Minimal Viable Launch founder Lee Russel, we explore where AI truly delivers measurable returns—and where it’s just burning budgets. From addressing privacy concerns and AI scams to rethinking automation and the human role in business, Lee shares a pragmatic framework for integrating AI that empowers teams rather than replaces them. If you’re a business leader looking to separate AI reality from marketing hype, this conversation will give you the clarity you need to make smart, profitable decisions.

About the Guest
Lee Russel is an AI strategist and bestselling author known for his practical, results-driven approach to AI adoption. As the founder of Minimal Viable Launch, Lee has built products used by millions, including AI systems that protect children online. He helps entrepreneurs and companies design AI strategies that avoid costly mistakes and drive genuine ROI, focusing on value creation, customer impact, and ethical implementation.

Key Takeaways :

AI adoption should start with solving customers’ burning hair problems, not just cutting costs.

Many businesses fail to get ROI from AI because they approach it selfishly instead of customer-first.

The 12 AI Experiments Framework:

Cost Savers: Automate low-value repetitive tasks to free humans for higher-value work.

Moneymakers: Use AI to create unique, high-touch customer experiences.

Moonshots: Turn your proprietary processes into scalable tech products.

Voice cloning and deepfake risks highlight the need for personal security measures like family passwords.

AI should be seen as an expert accelerator—most powerful when used by domain experts.

Human creativity and strategic thinking remain irreplaceable; AI works best when it enhances these strengths.

Businesses that reallocate freed-up human capacity toward customer relationships see stronger loyalty and referrals.

In this episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Sonia Couto—a two-time tech founder, Managing Director, and breast cancer survivor—to demystify the role of AI in the workplace. This isn't another fear-based take on artificial intelligence. Instead, Sonia offers practical, real-world strategies on how AI can save time, boost productivity, and empower professionals across every industry. From customizing GPTs to using AI for health and wellness, Sonia shares how she integrates AI into her business and personal life for real impact. Tune in to discover how AI can become your strategic advantage—not your competition.

This conversation is for every founder, knowledge worker, team leader, or side-hustler wondering if AI is too complex, too risky, or too robotic. Spoiler: It’s not.

About the Guest:
Sonia Couto is a two-time tech founder and Managing Director behind two global SaaS companies. A breast cancer survivor and startup mentor, she specializes in turning operational chaos into scalable growth. Sonia also leads workshops on AI adoption and builds custom GPTs to help leaders optimize their workflows and personal routines.

Key Takeaways:

AI won’t replace you—but the person using AI might. Sonia emphasizes the importance of learning AI tools to stay competitive in the workplace.

Creativity still belongs to humans. AI isn’t creative—it mimics patterns. The magic happens when you personalize its outputs.

Custom GPTs can supercharge productivity. Sonia shares how she uses over 30 custom GPTs tailored to her voice, style, and business needs.

AI is your assistant, not your boss. From proposal writing to wellness tracking, Sonia uses AI to streamline repetitive tasks while she focuses on higher-level work.

Final outputs should always be humanized. Sonia feeds her final, revised versions back into GPTs, teaching the AI her tone and improving future outputs.

AI in development won’t eliminate jobs—it’ll reshape them. Senior developers will thrive; junior-level, repetitive tasks may get automated.

In this thought-provoking episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty dives into the often-misunderstood world of digital transformation with Simon Copsey, a delivery and transformation consultant known for helping organizations resolve complex roadblocks in weeks—not years. This episode breaks the myth that digital transformation is about tools and tech stacks. Instead, Simon brings a fresh perspective: technology is necessary but not sufficient.

They unpack how transformation really begins—with people, processes, beliefs, and bottlenecks. You’ll discover why solving the wrong problems can sabotage progress, and how leaders can diagnose systemic issues buried beneath surface-level symptoms. Whether you're a founder, CTO, or team leader, this episode offers a new lens on sustainable change, team happiness, and real progress.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating organizational change, especially in today's fast-moving digital workplace.

About the Guest
Simon Copsey is a UK-based transformation consultant with a unique background as a full-stack developer turned trusted advisor. He helps senior leaders identify and address root issues within their teams and systems, enabling happier, more efficient delivery of value. Simon’s approach blends management science, practical systems thinking, and a strong human-first mindset.

Key Takeaways :

Digital transformation is not about implementing the newest tools. It's about solving the right problems, starting at the bottleneck.

Technology only works when paired with cultural shifts and changes in leadership mindset.

Leaders often unintentionally create systemic barriers due to outdated assumptions or misaligned goals.

True transformation starts with clarity: What’s the goal? What’s the real problem? What are the underlying causes?

Happy, intrinsically motivated teams perform better. Prioritize purpose, mastery, and autonomy.

One mistake leaders make is over-relying on extrinsic motivators like bonuses, which can backfire and erode intrinsic drive.

To stay relevant in the next 5–10 years, organizations must stop prescribing solutions before diagnosing root causes.

Simon suggests using systems thinking tools like the “Current Reality Tree” to map out cause-effect relationships and avoid unintended consequences.

In this powerful episode of AIBiz, we sit down with Kristin Zhivago—revenue coach, marketing turnaround expert, and author of Roadmap to Revenue—to uncover the core truths behind building a business that not only survives but thrives long-term. Drawing from decades of experience across industries, Kristin reveals why sustainable success is rooted in empathy, customer focus, and character—not just metrics or tech trends. We talk about the impact of AI, the myth of hustle culture, and why love (yes, love) is a serious business strategy. If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or leader aiming for real impact, this conversation will change how you think about growth, leadership, and legacy.

About the Guest – Kristin Zhivago
Kristin Zhivago is a revenue coach, founder of Zhivago Partners, and author of the bestselling book Roadmap to Revenue. She has worked with startups and billion-dollar companies alike, helping them shift from reactive selling to proactive customer-first strategies. A pioneer in marketing, tech, and business development, Kristin is known for her practical wisdom and human-centered approach to leadership and sales.

Key Takeaways:

Customer First, Always: Kristin emphasizes that all revenue comes from customers, not investors or hype. Even in an AI-driven world, human connection drives sales.

Love is Strategy: Leading with care, empathy, and respect—for employees, partners, and clients—isn’t soft. It’s what sustains and scales.

Listen Better: The biggest business gap Kristin sees? A mismatch between what companies think customers want and what customers actually want. Real conversations—not surveys—reveal the truth.

Jerks Cost Business: A single toxic person can poison company culture. Kristin shares her rule: no jerks allowed—in teams or clients.

Build for Resilience: Save consistently (10–20% of revenue), act with character, and focus on what will never change (like customer expectations).

AI Needs Ethics: While AI is powerful, Kristin warns that without teaching it human values like honesty and character, we risk long-term consequences.
