Every entrepreneur knows the invisible tax. You planned to work on your business – pricing, partnerships, growth. Instead, you spent three hours answering emails, formatting proposals, and chasing invoices. The real work? Still waiting.
This is not a discipline problem. It is a systems problem. AI does not replace your expertise. It protects it. The goal is not to automate everything. It is to reclaim the hours where you create the most value – building relationships, making decisions, leading. Here are four tools to help you do exactly that:

Claude (claude.ai) – Draft emails, brainstorm ideas, summarize documents
Canva AI – Create professional graphics and marketing materials in minutes
Notion AI – Organize notes, projects, and documents with built-in AI assistance
Otter AI – Record calls and meetings; get instant transcripts and action items

This session will include live demos and interactive exercises so attendees leave with something tangible.
