In today’s episode, Brad and Olivia unpack Automate or Die: The AI Productivity Blueprint for 2025 by Antonio Lozada – a book that throws down a dramatic gauntlet:
💡 Automate or get left behind.
Is AI automation just for tech elites? Far from it. Lozada argues it's a non-negotiable for everyone who wants to survive and thrive in the years ahead.
In this episode, you'll discover:
✅ Why manual work is the “silent killer of ambition”
✅ How AI will redefine productivity like electricity or the internet did
✅ The harsh truth: AI might not take your job, but someone who uses it will
✅ Real-world examples from freelancers, nonprofits, and big players like Wells Fargo
✅ Simple time audit techniques to spot what you can automate today
✅ The most effective no-code tools for 2025: GPT-4, Zapier, Make, Power Automate, Notion AI
✅ Lisa’s story: a freelance designer who cut her hours by 25% and increased her income by 40%
✅ Rachel’s workflow: automating lead responses in under 15 minutes for massive weekly time savings
✅ How agentic AI and tools like AutoGPT will transform digital workflows into proactive “digital employees”
✅ Pitfalls to avoid: automating broken processes, over-automation, blind AI trust, unstable platforms
✅ The ultimate purpose of automation: reclaiming time for creativity, strategic thinking, and true human connection.
✨ Key takeaway:
Don’t get overwhelmed. Start small. Automate one thing today, feel the impact, and build momentum. The divide is happening, but the tools are accessible, affordable, and waiting for you.
