When AI started taking over the headlines, a lot of us were left wondering—where the heck do we even begin? That’s exactly why I brought on my good friend Brad Costanzo, who somehow manages to make AI feel way less intimidating and way more human. Brad’s the Founder of Accelerated Intelligence AI and a brilliant mind when it comes to helping business owners and creators figure out how to actually use AI to get results. In this episode, he walks us through his Five Buckets Framework, which is basically a super simple way to stop spinning your wheels and start making AI work for you.
We talk about how AI can help you think, create, communicate, analyze, and automate without burning out or overwhelming your team. He shares stories from the trenches, cool ways his clients are using AI, and where people tend to get stuck (and how to get unstuck). If you’ve been feeling like you should be doing more with AI but aren’t sure where to start, this conversation is a total breath of fresh air.
And we geek out on tools—but not just the shiny ones you’ve already seen all over social. Brad drops a few underrated gems that are seriously game-changing. Whether you're just dipping your toes into AI or already knee-deep in ChatGPT prompts, this episode will help you focus your energy, cut the clutter, and maybe even have a little fun with it. Give it a listen—you’re gonna walk away with some seriously useful stuff.
