What would you do if your business suddenly faced a catastrophic disruption tomorrow? For most of us, that's a terrifying thought we'd rather not consider. But the reality is, business emergencies don't wait for the perfect moment - they strike without warning, forcing us to adapt or risk losing everything we've built. That's exactly what happened to today's guest when a devastating house fire in July 2023 threatened to derail her thriving business coaching practice. But instead of letting crisis win, she discovered an unexpected ally in artificial intelligence that not only helped her recover - it transformed her entire approach to business resilience.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome my dear friend Judi Fox, creator of the LinkedIn Business Accelerator program and trusted advisor to countless professionals looking to maximize their LinkedIn presence. Judi has helped hundreds of business leaders generate consistent leads and opportunities through strategic LinkedIn optimization, and her innovative approaches have earned her recognition as one of the platform's leading voices. But it's her remarkable story of using AI to rebuild and strengthen her business after disaster that will change how you think about business continuity.

The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Judi Fox about:

✨ Prepare Before Crisis Hits - Developing an AI-powered contingency plan before emergencies strike ensures business continuity.

✨ AI as Recovery Partner - Artificial intelligence can provide 24/7 support for critical business functions during disruption.

✨ Transform Challenge to Growth - Strategic AI implementation can turn business crises into opportunities for innovation and improvement.
