028 | Why Small & Mid-sized Businesses (Not CEOs) Are Leading the Real AI Movement
Forget the hype. In this episode, we’re shining a light on the quiet AI revolution happening inside small and medium-sized businesses - where spreadsheets still rule, inboxes are overflowing, and people are quietly building game-changing GPT workflows without a single hoodie in sight. I’m breaking down why the Mittelstand - those deeply-rooted, often family-run businesses -might just be the real trailblazers in AI adoption. We’ll explore how assistants, project managers, and back-office problem solvers are using automation to reclaim time, reduce friction, and make room for the work that actually matters. And no, it doesn’t require a tech team, a new department, or a rebrand. Just a willingness to start. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why the real AI momentum is coming from small, agile businesses—not tech giants Who’s actually driving AI adoption behind the scenes (hint: it’s not the CEO) The surprising mindset shift that turns casual GPT users into automation pros How to break repetitive tasks into repeatable AI-powered processes Why most expert advice misses the mark for the Mittelstand—and what works instead A 15-minute challenge to help you find your first “AI-able” task Your Next Step: Want hands-on support turning this into reality? Book a free strategy consultation to see how my NAVIGaiTE program can help you start using AI effectively in just 8 weeks. We’ll look at where you're stuck, where automation could help, and what your next smartest move could be.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why vague prompts lead to vague results (and what that reveals about your leadership style) The 3 hidden habits that sabotage both your AI workflow and your team communication How to move from dumping tasks into AI to collaborating with it as a creative partner What actually changes when you prompt with context, clarity, and intentionality How AI can become a tool for developing better leadership—not just faster output Your 15-Minute Challenge: Open a new AI chat. Revisit a task you’ve asked before—but this time, lead with clarity: Who is this for? Why does it matter? What does a successful result look like? Run a feedback loop. Watch what shifts.

024 | Protect What You Are Building - The Critical Connection Between AI and Cybersecurity for Entrepreneurs with Dr. Alex Heublein
What if your biggest business vulnerability isn't what you're building - but how you're protecting it? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Alex Heublein joins Julia to talk about the urgent intersection of AI and cybersecurity, especially for small and mid-sized businesses. From real-world hacks to proactive protection strategies, this isn’t fear-mongering - it’s a playbook. With decades of experience at tech giants like HP, Oracle, and Red Hat, Alex pulls back the curtain on how cybercrime is scaling like a business - and how AI is being used on both sides of the battlefield. If you're using AI without a strategy, relying on luck to stay safe, or assuming you're "too small" to be a target, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed. What You’ll Learn: Why cyber criminals are now targeting small businesses—and how AI is helping them do it faster. The simple safeguards every entrepreneur should put in place before using AI tools like ChatGPT. How to create AI policies (or “guidelines”) that actually make sense and protect your business. What to ask before investing in AI-powered automation, and how to avoid the biggest risks. Why cyber insurance isn’t optional anymore—and how much you really need to budget for cybersecurity. How to approach AI adoption as a strategic advantage, not a tech trend.

022 | What Happens When Your Niche Is Too Private For Cameras?
What do you do when your niche is deeply personal, wildly in demand, and... not exactly camera-friendly? You get creative. In this episode, I’m joined by intimacy and sexuality coach Bill McKinley, whose work has quietly empowered thousands - many of whom prefer to stay anonymous. We talk about what it really takes to create content in a space most people are too shy to discuss - and how Bill has used AI tools to build systems, stay authentic, and reach a massive (but discreet) audience. From bulk-creating social media posts to crafting a digital course, Bill shares his behind-the-scenes workflow and how he's turning one-off content into a long-term strategy. We also dive into how OpusClip - one of our favorite tools - can turn a single video into a month’s worth of scroll-stopping content, without the burnout. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN: How Bill went viral by accident - and what came next Why creating in a vulnerable niche takes a different kind of content strategy How to simplify your workflow using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude What’s possible when you stop aiming for perfect content and start aiming for purposeful content A powerful way to repurpose one video into dozens of strategic posts using OpusClip MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: – AI video repurposing tool we discuss throughout the episode LOVED THIS CONVERSATION?
