Making AI Actually Work in Your Business, with Tom Malesic
AI isn't a magic wand and it isn't a fad either. Host Navya talks with EZMarketing founder Tom Malesic about the two mindsets that trip up most business owners, and why the real starting point is your list of problems, not the tool itself. Tom shares concrete ways businesses are already using AI, from case studies pulled straight out of Google reviews to querying your own business data like a conversation, plus one simple way to start experimenting this week. About the Guest: Tom Malesic is the founder of EZMarketing, a digital marketing agency, and also owns an IT firm and an AI-driven stock trading partnership. He is the author of They're Looking for You. Key Takeaways: AI isn't a magic wand or a fad, it's a tool needing a clear problem. Start with your list of business problems and expenses, not the tool. Use a paid AI account, not free, so your data isn't used to train it. Ask AI the questions you'd normally Google or ask a colleague. Real-world case studies often already exist in your own Google reviews. People who learn to use AI well are the ones who keep their jobs.

Navigating AI in Small Business: Lessons from Consultant John Bond
This episode is for any small business owner who hears "AI" and assumes it's built for someone else, some big tech company with a massive budget. Publishing consultant John Bond joins AIBiZ to explain why that assumption doesn't hold up anymore. John breaks down how small, steady steps like using AI as a smarter search tool, or letting it catch errors in a spreadsheet, can quietly save hours. The real skill isn't chasing every new tool, it's staying curious about what's actually worth your time. About the Guest: John Bond is a Publishing Consultant with over three decades in academic and trade publishing, having worked as an editor, publisher, and Chief Content Officer before founding Riverwinds Consulting. He now advises publishers, associations, and individual authors, and hosts the YouTube channel Publishing Defined. Key Takeaways: AI has quietly been part of everyday life for years, often without anyone noticing. Start small: use AI as a smarter search tool before expecting it to run your business. The best AI tools fit quietly into what you're already doing, not the other way around. Look at where your time and energy already leak before choosing a tool. Stay open to switching tools. No single AI platform solves everything forever. Being a savvy consumer, of AI and of AI-generated content, matters more than ever.

AI in Business Operations: Dr. Lauren Fine on Working Smarter, Not Harder
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt buried under tasks and wondered if there's a better way to work, not harder, but smarter. Host Nava talks with physician and coach Dr. Lauren Fine about how AI is quietly changing day-to-day business operations, and why the biggest misconception is thinking it's here to replace people rather than support them. Dr. Fine shares practical, non-technical ways teams and leaders can start using AI responsibly, why psychological safety matters as much as the technology itself, and how to keep moving forward even when an early attempt doesn't work out the way you hoped. It's a grounded, human conversation about technology that never loses sight of the people behind it. About the Guest: Dr. Lauren Fine is a physician who still practices medicine, alongside her work in medical education and coaching. She has used AI to build coaching and educational platforms, and brings a practical, people-first lens to how businesses and teams can integrate AI into their everyday operations. Key Takeaways: The biggest misconception about AI in business is that it's here to replace people. Used well, it's meant to enhance what people already do. Try things yourself first, then use AI to refine and learn, rather than letting it create something from scratch without your voice in it. Fear of AI is often really a fear about where sensitive information ends up. Removing identifying details before using AI tools is a simple safeguard. Small, regular team check-ins where people share what they're learning about AI can build trust faster than top-down mandates. You don't need a massive budget to start. Play around with different tools, ask colleagues what's working for them, and notice where the friction actually lives. Setbacks and failed experiments aren't a reason to go all the way back to old ways. Look at what did work, and adjust a few steps rather than starting from zero.
