AI is everywhere and it’s moving faster than most of us can keep up. For business owners and marketers, the challenge isn’t just understanding the tools. It’s figuring out how to use them without losing your voice, your brand, or your job. Should you be afraid of AI, or should you be doubling down? How do you stay relevant in a world where machines can write, code, and even strategize? The questions are big, but if you ignore them, you’ll get left behind.

In this episode, Don and Kyle sit down with entrepreneur Jay Owen to explore the opportunities and risks AI presents for business owners. Jay shares how he’s using AI in his agency, why it’s not replacing creativity but enhancing it, and what mindsets will help you thrive in this new landscape. From automation to personalization, they dig into the tools that work and the principles that last. Tune in to learn how to adapt, lead, and stay human in the age of AI.
