    14: Your AI Dream Team: The $91/Month Tech Stack That Saves Me Hours Every Week
    2025/05/22
    Erika gets vulnerable about her most embarrassing business confession: spending over $500/month on AI tools she barely used. In this episode, she breaks down exactly how she streamlined to a lean $91/month tech stack that delivers better results than all those scattered subscriptions ever did. If you're tired of subscription creep eating your profits while you're still manually grinding through tasks AI could handle, this episode will help you build an integrated AI arsenal that actually works for your business. Key Themes Covered: • The real cost of subscription chaos (it's not just financial—it's mental load) • Erika's exact $91/month AI tech stack breakdown • How integrated tools amplify each other's effectiveness • Step-by-step process for auditing your current subscriptions • The psychology behind "it's just $29/month" thinking • Why mastery beats variety when it comes to AI tools • Free tools that complete a powerful workflow • Brand foundation as the key to AI tool effectiveness The Bottom Line: You don't need a hundred different tools to rule your business like a queen—you just need the right ones working together seamlessly. The entrepreneurs who scale aren't the ones with the most tools; they're the ones who've mastered the tools that integrate beautifully and amplify each other's power. Ready to stop bleeding money on tools you don't use and start building systems that serve your success? This episode gives you the exact roadmap to get there.

  • 13: Leading with AI: The Queen's Guide to Ethical Team Leadership

    13: Leading with AI: The Queen's Guide to Ethical Team Leadership
    2025/05/15
    A few months ago, I realized AI was handling over half of what I'd initially hired my VA to do. This forced me to confront an important question: was I being a responsible leader or slowly making her role obsolete? In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how to use AI as a leadership tool that elevates your team rather than replaces them. Key Points: The real human impact of AI automation decisions, especially on the VA industry where 83-90% of roles are filled by women Two contrasting approaches to AI implementation: the efficiency-focused "hustle harder" approach versus the "soft business" approach Creating AI-enhanced SOPs that build institutional knowledge and save time Training your team to become "AI orchestrators" who know which tools to use for which tasks Using AI as your leadership coach to identify communication blind spots The future of work isn't about choosing between AI or human team members—it's about creating an environment where AI enhances human potential rather than threatening it. As leaders, we have a responsibility to use AI to make our team's work more meaningful, not just more efficient. Ready to transform how you and your team leverage AI? Visit erikastanley.com/blueprint to learn about the Brand-to-Bot Blueprint, a 90-minute session where we create a custom AI implementation plan that reflects your leadership philosophy.
