From glassblowing studios to AI boardrooms, Michelle Hamilton shares how she turned decades of commercial real estate experience into actionable AI strategies for businesses of all sizes. This episode explores how entrepreneurs can use AI in business as a personal assistant to improve productivity, protect intellectual property, and support business growth. Michelle, founder and CEO of Spark AI Strategy and AI Class Lab, dives into the intersection of art, creativity, and artificial intelligence. She explains how entrepreneurs, especially women entrepreneurs, can use AI tools to scale their businesses, protect their intellectual property, and amplify their ideas and expertise without losing the human creativity that makes their work unique. You’ll hear practical examples of how AI can become a true business partner for productivity, strategy, and business growth, from building personalized knowledge libraries with tools like NotebookLM and Gemini to using AI assistants for research, project planning, and everyday decision-making. Michelle also shares why taking a human-centered approach to AI matters now more than ever. Instead of replacing people, she shows how the right AI strategy can free you from repetitive work so you can focus on relationships, creativity, and the decisions that actually move your business forward. If you’ve been curious about AI but aren’t sure where to start, or you’re ready to use it more strategically in your business, this episode will give you practical ideas you can start using right away to work smarter, protect your expertise, and move closer to that million-dollar milestone.
