Is AI the secret to leaner, smarter and faster growth?

In this episode of Beyond A Million, Brad sits down with Brodie Kern, a drug addict turned CEO. Brodie went from rock bottom to launching multiple successful businesses, from founding the mindset coaching business Wake Up Wealthy to building an AI automation company and content studio. His journey is anything but boring.

Brad and Brodie explore the shift that AI has brought to business operations, the AI apocalypse, ethical coaching, the problems with (some) SaaS tools, and why your business should be lean, agile, and automated.
