Founders don’t need more to-do lists—they need more time. In this episode, you’ll learn how to treat AI like a strategic “team” inside your business so you can automate the repetitive work, double down on human connection, and scale without burning out.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Michael discuss:
Key Takeaways:
"Start with something small, and grow it, and then expand it as your company expands. It's the fastest way to scale." — Michael Denton
About Michael Denton: Michael Denton spent 30 years in hospitality at the highest level — General Manager, Beverage Director, Certified Wine Educator and Sommelier in iconic restaurants across San Francisco, Oregon, and Texas. A career built on presence: every guest, every glass, every detail. Then a single moment broke the path open. Rear-ended by an 18-wheeler. Eight herniated discs. A spine surgically rebuilt. The discipline of recovery — one percent better, every day — became the foundation for everything that came after.
In October 2023, in the dark season after the accident, he wrote a Facebook post called “365 Brighter Days.” It went mini-viral. The 365 Method was born. A year later, at a sushi counter at the Ultra AI conference in San Diego, a server presented him with a bottle of Pellegrino with the same ceremony Michael had used in presenting wine for three decades — both hands, complete intention. In that moment, past and future collided. The AI Calling was born that night.
Today, Michael is the founder of AI Abundant Media 365 and The AI Calling™ — an AI education company teaching the Power of 5: how Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Meta AI work together as an orchestra, not separate tools. He’s a Certified High-Performance Coach (Brendon Burchard, HPC) and serves the sober living community through The Hope Pad. He lives in Dallas, Texas, and is the proud father of two young men, Tucker and Aidan. His tagline: One AI is powerful. Five AIs working together are unstoppable.

A million-dollar program won’t grow if your clients stay stuck in overwhelm. In this episode, discover how to turn AI into thinking partners and “digital employees” that collapse weeks of work into hours without hiring a team.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Hazel June discuss:
Key Takeaways:
"AI has been commoditized now, right? Everyone has access to it, but not everyone is making money off of it, and that's because not everyone is using it the same way." — Hazel June

About Hazel June: Hazel June spent 13 years in corporate training, watching organizations pour money into programs that didn't change behavior. Then she moved into online business and watched the same problem repeat itself at scale. As a Learning Experience Designer and Al Consultant, she works with expert business owners whose courses sell but don't deliver, aka the gap that quietly kills retention, referrals, and long-term revenue. She's rebuilt programs that generate $1M+. She's coached hundreds of business owners. And her AI systems have driven results like 1,000% + ROAS (Return On Ads Spend) for clients and collapsed weeks of operational work into hours without adding a single hire.
