Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast

Automate Everything


Listen Later

In this episode of Business Brain, hosts Dave Hamilton and Shannon Jean celebrate National Hot Tub Day by discussing how hot tubs help them decompress and unplug. They transition into AI and automation, sharing practical Gmail tips—like using built-in templates for quick replies and the “+” email trick for tracking sign-ups and spam.

They discuss the benefits of small automations, like smart lighting and motion-activated garage lights, which save time and mental energy. Shannon emphasizes using tools like Calendly to automate appointments and streamline client interactions, even incorporating automated sequences for paid consulting calls. Dave encourages listeners to start automating simple tasks and scale up, using tools like ChatGPT for guidance.

They wrap up by urging listeners to think constantly about what they can automate to reclaim time and focus, promising more tips in future episodes and inviting feedback and automation ideas from their audience.
