In this episode of Imperfect Marketing, Kendra chats with Aarti Anand, a software product builder turned AI automation consultant, about how small business owners can leverage AI and systems thinking to reclaim their time, energy, and freedom.
Aarti shares her journey from building award-winning software to starting her own business to create more space for what matters—her kids, her aging parents, and her own time. Now she helps other founders do the same using AI and automation tools.
