Episode 2 — The Three AI Tools I'd Use in My Restaurant Right Now
No theory this week.
Three specific tools, what they cost, and exactly what Zac would do with each one in the first seven days of running a restaurant or hospitality business.
The tools: Claude (AI writing assistant), Chatnode (AI customer service chatbot), Blotato (AI social media scheduling).
Combined cost: ~$60/month. Combined time saving: 10-15 hours per week.

Why does The AI Translator exist?
Because AI is a foreign language — and right now, the people who speak it are mostly talking to each other.
There are millions of business owners who know something is happening with AI, who know they probably should be doing something about it, but every time they try to read about it or watch a video about it, they feel like they're reading a different language.
This podcast is the translation.
In this first episode, I explain who I am and why I'm the person to do it. I am not a tech person who learned about business. I am a business person who learned about tech. And that distinction is everything.
Thirty years. Eighteen café and bakery locations across Ireland. Airline flight operations. Luxury retail. Insurance business turnarounds. I've done the payroll on a Friday when the numbers were tight. I've managed teams through crises at six in the morning. I've sat in the chair you're sitting in.
And what I know from thirty years in that chair is this: most business owners are drowning in the operational detail of their own business. Not because they're bad at business. Because nobody ever gave them the systems to get out of it.
AI is not a magic wand. It is not a replacement for the people who work for you. It is a way to handle the things that were never a good use of a human being's time in the first place — the admin, the repetition, the same customer email answered for the fortieth time, the things that keep you working at midnight when you should be planning the next quarter.
Every episode of The AI Translator will do one of three things: show you a specific AI tool and exactly how to use it, walk through a real business problem and how I'd approach it with AI, or tell you the honest truth about something in the AI world that isn't quite what it seems.
Eight minutes. Maybe ten. No longer. Because your time is the most valuable thing you have.
This podcast is for the restaurant owner listening on the way to open up at seven in the morning. The insurance broker on the school run. The hotel manager with twenty minutes after a long Saturday shift who wants one useful idea, not an hour of theory.
If that's you — subscribe wherever you're listening.
And if you want to talk about your specific business — where AI could genuinely help and where it would be a waste of money — the link is in the show notes. Free twenty-minute call. No pitch. Just a straight conversation.

Harnessing the Power of Focus: A Journey of Self-Improvement with The School of Inspiration.
Today, we delve into the profound concept where Focus Goes, Energy Flows, inspired by the wisdom of Tony Robbins. This episode is not just a discussion; it's a call to action for personal development and a guide to living life with purpose and clarity.
In our fast-paced, distraction-filled world, from endless social media feeds to the chaos of daily life, maintaining focus is more challenging yet more vital than ever. This episode explores how managing and guarding your focus is the key to achieving goals, avoiding repeated mistakes, and unlocking your fullest potential.
We draw parallels from the story of the three wise men and their unwavering focus on the star leading to baby Jesus, symbolizing the importance of relentless focus on our goals. Imagine if they had been distracted – their journey would have been lost, much like we can be without focus.
So, what is your star? Your guiding light in the night sky of life? Are you allowing trivial distractions to derail you from your path? This episode challenges you to commit to your focus, to create a contract with yourself, to guard your focus as if it were your most precious treasure. It's about making conscious choices every day about where to direct your attention and energy.
Join us at The School of Inspiration as we emphasize the power of focus in transforming your life. Remember, without focus, we are lost. It's time to find your direction, nourish your mind, and make tangible progress towards your goals.
Subscribe and share this message of empowerment.
Let's make amazing progress together.

It's as our decisions, not our conditions, our decisions, not our conditions that determine the quality of our lives. Decisions, not our conditions. Hey everyone, welcome back. I'm Zack. This is a school of beans I'm Zack, this is a school of inspiration. And I'm going to talk very much about the importance of decision making in the key of every aspect of our life and how it can change. Every single thing which we think is a negative is causing us upset or disharmony or bringing us down. We can change that into a positive just by the power of decisions. One of the most important decisions we all make, and we're making it right now you're making it I'm making it right now, as we speak. We're making it all day long, but the most important decision that we are all doing every single day What is it is a decision about what we choose to focus on where focus goes, energy flows, where focus goes, energy flows. Tony Robbins says that and it's the most amazing, powerful phrase, please, please write this down.

Those of you who don't know me will not know of my side-hustle, "The School of Inspiration" which I created to bring Wellness Mastery into a world desperately crying out for it. Too many people from Billionaires I know to school-run making Mums are stressed out, unfulfilled and "stuck."
This impacts humanity which affects business and the workplace. They do not exist in isolation despite the myth of work/life balance. There should be work+life harmony instead.
One look at the pop-music industry or Hollywood stars or at the former head of a famous fallen Crypto exchange or Swiss Investment Bankers whom I know are panicking for their lives, reminds us that money, job status and fame are false currencies.
In today’s POD, we discuss:
"Is your phone battery getting more energy charge than you are?"
Are you spending your daily allocation of energy with the care and deliberate attention that it deserves or are you wasting it on items that don't serve you?
Without energy, we cannot survive or possibly expect a decent quality of life.
So create your own Energy Menu and stick to it with a passion. Surround yourself with battery chargers and ditch those people who are battery drainers.
Treat your energy with the respect it deserves.
