Forget the hype. In this episode, we're shining a light on the quiet AI revolution happening inside small and medium-sized businesses - where spreadsheets still rule, inboxes are overflowing, and people are quietly building game-changing GPT workflows without a single hoodie in sight. I'm breaking down why the Mittelstand - those deeply-rooted, often family-run businesses -might just be the real trailblazers in AI adoption. We'll explore how assistants, project managers, and back-office problem solvers are using automation to reclaim time, reduce friction, and make room for the work that actually matters. And no, it doesn't require a tech team, a new department, or a rebrand. Just a willingness to start. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why the real AI momentum is coming from small, agile businesses—not tech giants Who's actually driving AI adoption behind the scenes (hint: it's not the CEO) The surprising mindset shift that turns casual GPT users into automation pros How to break repetitive tasks into repeatable AI-powered processes Why most expert advice misses the mark for the Mittelstand—and what works instead A 15-minute challenge to help you find your first "AI-able" task Your Next Step: Want hands-on support turning this into reality?
