Welcome back, listeners. Today, we're tackling a topic that's on the minds of many small business owners: "AI on a Budget. Is it possible?"

Before businesses dive into the world of AI, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Firstly, let's talk about data readiness.

How about choosing the right AI tools for your business. Fortunately, there are plenty of budget-friendly options available.

So, let's paint the picture. You've got this killer idea, right? It feels like a game-changer, a real game-winner. There’s a clear gap in the market but hold your horses, because as we all know, success isn't guaranteed. So where do I go from here?

It’s tempting right? They’re going to lift a burden from you- phew! You can leave the technical strategy and know-how to someone else. After all, you are the ‘ideas person’. 

But, most people hire a CTO too soon. Are you in that camp? Let’s find out.
