Hey there, my friend, welcome to episode 335 of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast.

Thanks for leading me your ears right now – I know you have lots of other things you could be doing or listening to – so I appreciate you.

Did you get a chance to listen in to episode 334? It was part one, potentially, of my 10 minute marketing “can dos”! I know marketing is time consuming, but really, it’s not – you just have to be prepared and energised! On the pod I give you 11 ten minute marketing ideas for when you have no time for marketing!

Hey, but before I get onto today’s episode – I wondered if you were keen to jump on my waitlist for the Social Media and Marketing Australia Conference that’s happening mid-year? It’s happening in Melbourne and although tickets are not on sale just yet, you can be the first to snap them up, see the speaker line up, check out the opportunities to get your brand in front of a few hundred business owners and more, simply by putting your name on the waitlist – the non-commitment wait list!

So, today I have a guest on, and we are talking all about AI – practical ways of using it, common mistakes when using it, how it can make your business life simpler and so much more!

Featured in The Australian, ABC News, 6PR Perth Radio, Disrupt Radio, and various podcasts, Leanne Shelton, my guest today, is CEO, Global AI Coach, and Keynote Speaker at HumanEdge AI Training.

With her 9-year-old SEO copywriting agency struggling to convert in a tough economic climate in early 2023, Leanne Shelton made the ultimate business pivot. She decided to embrace (not escape) her shiny, new, and free competitor – ChatGPT – by educating herself on the topic. With decades of writing, marketing, and training skills in her back pocket, Leanne started to teach (non-techy) business leaders about AI prompt engineering – with the human touch.

Leanne quickly became a sought-after keynote speaker for summits and conferences, with multiple requests to run webinars, workshops, one-on-one sessions, and in-house organisational training. These days, her core focus is on team and one-on-one training sessions.

Outside of work, the Sydney-based entrepreneur is a newly converted running enthusiast, lover of dance, daily meditator, occasional yogi, engrossed reader and Audible consumer of business books and psychological thrillers, a dedicated wife, and frazzled mum to two daughters.

So, let’s get into it – here’s my chat with Leanne.
