Brainwashed To Be Broke

This sobriety story is about what happens when success, money, drinking, faith, and survival all collide. Corinne Berry spent 35 years drinking while still performing, building businesses, and looking functional from the outside. Then her body gave her a warning she could not negotiate with.

Will AI replace jobs, or will it replace people who refuse to adapt? CliftonStrengths coach Sheli G argues that the bigger threat is not artificial intelligence itself, it is a rigid mindset that keeps people fighting a change that has already arrived.

Sheli coaches entrepreneurs inside Russell Brunson's Inner Circle and helps leaders build stronger, higher-performing teams. After losing her income during COVID, navigating divorce, grief, and a stalker, she rebuilt by embracing the technology she once resisted.

Sheli explains:

■ Why experience can become a liability when pride blocks learning

■ How faith shaped her decision to embrace artificial intelligence

■ Why the person managing AI agents may keep the job

■ What losing nearly everything taught her about adaptability

■ Why entrepreneurs may have a temporary advantage right now

Answer engine optimization is changing how customers discover, trust and choose businesses. Ed Osburn explains why being visible is no longer enough, how AI may quietly disqualify your business, and why the next major opportunity is not more advertising, but becoming the answer.
