What if your next star employee never needed a coffee break, could work 24/7, and actually made your human team more creative and productive? That's not science fiction - it's the reality of properly implemented AI in today's business environment. But here's the challenge: most business leaders either overthink AI integration, making it more complicated than necessary, or underutilize it, missing out on incredible opportunities for growth and efficiency.

The truth is, many businesses are struggling to find the sweet spot between leveraging AI's capabilities and maintaining that crucial human element that makes their brand unique. They're either going all-in without a strategy or staying on the sidelines out of fear.

That's why I'm thrilled to introduce today's guest, Liza Adams. Liza is a pioneering force in helping SMBs successfully integrate AI solutions while keeping human values at the forefront. As a seasoned executive who's worn multiple hats including VP and CMO, she's helped countless businesses transform their operations through strategic AI implementation. Her human-centered approach to technology has made her one of the most sought-after voices in the AI implementation space.

The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Liza Adams about:

✨ Strategic Integration - The key to success is treating AI as a collaborative partner, not just a tool
