307 - Building Custom AI Systems to Automate and Accelerate Your Business and Life feat. Callan Faulkner
What if AI could think like you—and free up your time in the process? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn welcomes back Callan Faulkner, founder of REI Optimize and one of the most sought-after AI coaches for entrepreneurs, for a mind-expanding conversation on using AI to transform not just your business, but your entire life. From saving time and scaling smarter to aligning tech with your intuition, Callan breaks down exactly how to move from AI curiosity to awakened, empowered implementation.
Together, they explore the difference between dabbling in AI and building custom systems that truly serve your vision. You’ll learn how to create your own virtual sales assistant, brand copywriter, business coach, meal planner, and even spiritual guide using tools like ChatGPT and Claude. If you’ve been overwhelmed by the AI conversation—or just want to make it actually useful—this is your roadmap to building tools that think, sound, and act like you.
Key Takeaways:
- AI isn’t just for automation—it’s a tool for alignment: Callan shares how to create AI systems that reflect your values, voice, and vision so you can scale your business and still feel like you.
- The difference between a prompt and a project is everything: Learn how to move beyond one-off prompts and instead build custom, reusable systems that save time and increase consistency.
- Your business deserves a custom AI dream team: From a sales assistant to a brand copywriter, Callan reveals the 3–5 AI projects every entrepreneur should build now.
- AI can support your personal growth too: Callan discusses how she uses AI as a spiritual coach, a journaling prompt generator, and even a relationship support tool.
