Michael Denton: How Smart Founders Are Using AI to Scale Without Burning Out
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.
