Quotes:

“If you're a person who gets to the end of the day and you're exhausted because you had so much to do, this [AI] is going to help you; it's like it is your buddy.” - Susan Frew

“Your competitors are going to get on the ball with AI. So you have choices. We all have choices, right? You could be like, you know, I'm not going to go down this road and it's time for me to put my feet up and retire or sell or move on or what have you. And that is fine. You do you. However, if you plan to stay in business in the next ten years, you need to get on the program.” - Susan Frew

“You can never be afraid to jump back into the operations role, into the dispatcher role, into the accountant role, into the bookkeeper role. And Susan's done that with her business this year, really taking over and looking at every single aspect of the business and making sure that it is streamlined and the processes are updated so that the business can run efficiently and she can cut expenses where they're unnecessary.” - Meghann Conter
