Episode notes

Are you tired of hearing about AI being the future while having no clue where to actually start today? Feeling overwhelmed by all the AI tools, platforms, and promises that seem more like science fiction than practical business solutions? You're not alone – and frankly, most of the AI advice out there is either too technical, too expensive, or just plain too theoretical for real business owners trying to run profitable companies.

Here's the problem: Everyone's talking about AI transformation, but nobody's showing you the actual playbook that works whether you're running a 90-person agency or working solo from your kitchen table. You're being sold on massive enterprise solutions when what you really need is someone to say, 'Here's exactly how I use ChatGPT 20 times a day to make better decisions, write better emails, and run my business more efficiently - and here's how you can adapt these same systems even without a team.'

Well, today we're solving that problem once and for all. I'm bringing you Ron Callis Jr., CEO and Co-Founder of One Firefly, a marketing powerhouse that serves technology integrators across North America. Ron isn't just talking about AI – he's living it daily. This is the guy who's built custom GPTs for project management, uses AI for everything from podcast preparation to employee reviews, and has systematically integrated AI into his leadership workflow without losing the human touch that built his business. Ron was recognized as a CE Pro Masters Class honoree for his industry contributions, has mentored robotics teams, and has been building and scaling businesses for over two decades. But what makes him perfect for today's conversation is that he's not selling you AI dreams – he's going to share the exact tools, prompts, and processes he uses every single day to lead his team and grow his business.

The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Ron Callis about:

✨ Start Where You Are: Begin with one daily AI workflow that eliminates your biggest time drain - Ron shows how his email system works with or without an assistant

✨ Systems That Scale With You: Learn how to build AI workflows that work solo today but can grow with your business tomorrow

✨ Practical Over Perfect: See real examples of AI implementation that prioritize results over complexity - no technical degree required
