Stop burning money on AI subscriptions that aren't generating revenue. While Fortune 500 companies waste millions on AI implementations that never pay off, savvy solopreneurs are quietly building AI-powered revenue engines that work 24/7. Discover the enterprise framework that turns your $20 AI tools into profit machines.

Most solopreneurs are drowning in AI subscription costs without seeing real returns. You're paying for ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Advanced, and multiple AI tools, yet you're still trapped in the same administrative quicksand that's killing your growth.

Eva Dong, Lead of AI Value Realization at Google Cloud, reveals why this happens and how to fix it. With over a decade helping Fortune 500 companies unlock millions in AI value at McKinsey & Company and Visa, Eva knows the enterprise secrets that actually work. As a former entrepreneur herself, she understands the solopreneur struggle—every dollar must generate a return.

In this mielstone 100th episode of The AI Hat Podcast, recorded live at MAICON 2025 with 1,500 AI leaders from 47 states, this episode exposes the critical mistakes killing your AI ROI and shares the proven framework that transforms AI expenses into profit centers.
