Heather launched TWO businesses simultaneously in 2025—one helping small businesses design their exit strategy, and another building an ethical AI community. In this raw conversation, we dive into the realities of using AI as a solopreneur: the hallucinations, the 30-minute time-wasters, and the strategic places where it actually helps versus where manual processes win. This isn't "AI will solve everything" hype—it's an honest look at what works, what wastes time, and why competitor research still beats ChatGPT summaries.But we go beyond tools. We explore why controversial LinkedIn posts get you clients (not canceled), why vanilla content kills your business, and why being a "good girl" won't change the world. If you're tired of boring business advice, hesitant to share real opinions, or wondering what to automate versus do manually—this conversation will challenge you. We get vulnerable about the entrepreneurship bug, the freedom and chaos of solopreneurship, and why women in business need to break more rules, not follow them.🔗 Connect with Heather:
