How AI Can Save Your Business Money: Practical Guide for Non-Tech Owners with Scott Johnson | ST #47

Most business owners use AI as a chatbot and stop there. This episode shows you everything you're leaving on the table. This week, Taylor sits down with Scott Johnson, a real estate agent and investor who taught himself to use AI to build custom tools for his business. Scott was paying $60/month for a clunky CRM. Using AI, he built his own CRM that was better, fully owned, running for about $2/month. He breaks down exactly how AI works (what a "token" really is, why it costs money, why AI has a bad memory), how to go from chatbot to building real tools, the hiring shift coming where employers ask candidates "what agents do you have?", and the one security mistake that can run your AI bill up to $10,000 overnight. No code. No jargon. This episode is full of AI advice that is current and practical to help you save time and money in your business.
