AI or die for Blue Collar Businesses - Where to start

AI or die for Blue Collar Businesses - Where to start

If you’re a service business owner and you keep hearing “use AI”… but you’re not sure how it actually helps your day-to-day—this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Chad sits down with Dan Gentry (Impact AI / Third Power Performance) to break down practical ways AI can help you in two big areas:

✅ 1) Your business: save time, speed up follow-up, organize your operations, and stop dropping balls.
✅ 2) Your personal life: use the time AI gives you back to actually enjoy your life instead of just “doing more.”

We talk about real, simple use-cases like:

• Email overload: using AI to categorize messages and create drafts (without sending anything automatically)
• Chatbots + support: reduce repetitive questions and help leads get what they need faster
• Meeting notes → action: turning your recorded meetings into tasks, reminders, and follow-ups so your team actually executes
• AI agents: the “future assistant” that can run workflows in the background and keep your business moving
• Know your numbers: why data extraction + simple dashboards will separate winners from losers in the next 5 years

Chad also shares a wild example of using ChatGPT to help write a full book draft in just a few hours—in his voice—and why business owners who don’t adopt AI will get left behind just like the companies who ignored the internet in the late 90s.

🔥 Big takeaway

AI isn’t “magic.” It’s systems. And the businesses that build systems now will dominate later.
