In this episode of the Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, host Kristy Yoder welcomes Randi Deckard, Senior Vice President of Growth at BESLER and trusted CRO advisor. With a career that began in clinical science, Randi brings a unique perspective to business and leadership—treating every strategy as an experiment and applying data-driven insights to growth.
Over the past five years, she has integrated AI into her daily leadership practices, not simply for efficiency, but to achieve what she calls the ability to “people more.” For Randi, AI is a tool that allows leaders to be more present for their teams and customers while removing friction from business processes.
During the conversation, Randi shares practical ways leaders can use AI, from building custom GPTs to automate research, to creating AI-powered one-on-one agendas that make team coaching more effective. She also highlights the importance of intent marketing, deal rooms, and governance frameworks that ensure AI is used responsibly.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into how AI can support leadership, empower teams, and improve customer experiences. Randi also addresses the risks of AI adoption—such as data integrity, compliance, and security—and explains why business leaders must become AI-literate in order to guide their organizations through the rapid pace of technological change.
This episode is packed with actionable advice for entrepreneurs and executives who want to harness AI without losing sight of the human side of business.
Key Takeaways:
- Leaders must be AI-literate in order to guide their teams effectively.
- AI should always be tied to business outcomes, not hype or trends.
- Custom GPTs and automation can save leaders hours of time daily.
- Clear communication and empowerment remain the core of leadership in the AI era.
- Responsible AI adoption requires governance, security, and ongoing evaluation.
