Welcome to The 4am Report, where talk AI literacy for founder-led brands with me, your host, Susan Diaz. Today I will be exploring what it means to think exponentially in the age of artificial intelligence and how this mindset can drastically shift your business landscape.

On this podcast, we no longer do intros and outro on audio, so here’s a short note on who I am. I am Susan Diaz, lifetime marketer with over 20 years of experience spanning startups to government sectors. I am the founder of a content marketing firm, and I am focused on how artificial intelligence can turbocharge small business operations.

In this episode you should expect to hear about:

🚀 Thinking Exponentially: How adopting a 100x mindset, with the support of AI, can lead to significant growth and innovation in your business.

💡 The True Power of AI: Exploring how artificial intelligence can be a game changer, not just a productivity tool but a strategic partner in your business.

In-depth Topics Covered:

I love a good metaphor to help me learn and remember. And I hugely value the experts who give me that. And I try to do the same as I speak to, and train, various audiences.

Inside this episode I give you an interesting analogy on how technology evolves and becomes mainstream, relating it to how refrigeration technology, initially developed for preserving life-saving drugs, evolved to widespread uses - including ‘skincare fridge’.

You’ll also learn the three key mindsets for leveraging AI to grow exponentially:

🤖 Strategic Partner, Not Just a Task Manager: Viewing AI as a co-thinker and brainstorming tool, not just as an automator of mundane tasks.

🔍 Workflow Visualization: Importance of understanding current processes clearly before integrating AI, bringing clarity to how AI can fit into and optimize these processes.

🌱 Focused Implementation: The significance of starting with one tool or process, mastering it, and then scaling to avoid overwhelming change and to grow sustainably.
