Service Model: High‑Touch, Referral Focus

In this episode of How I AI, I sit down with Colette Mason, a collaborative AI consultant with over 40 years of real-world systems experience across investment banking, the UK government, and large-scale public infrastructure. Today, she helps business owners build AI teammates that actually support their brains instead of overwhelm them.

Colette brings a grounded, human-first lens to AI. We talk about her seven AI user archetypes, how your personality might be sabotaging your own AI results, and why training your assistant beats writing long prompts every time. She also shares the tools, frameworks, and mindset shifts she uses to help founders save thousands, streamline their workflows, and make better decisions with AI as a co-pilot.

Topics We Cover:

• The 7 AI User Types That Sabotage Their Own Success (Which One Are You?)
   Juggler, Warrior, Visionary, Tweaker, Hermit, Escapist, Architect
