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? Book a free strategy consultation to see how my NAVIGaiTE program can help you start using AI effectively in just 8 weeks. We'll look at where you're stuck, where automation could help, and what your next smartest move could be.
